Even then, Noburi would have said something if the strategy was not feasible or he really, really fudged his TN roll. I know this goes against the simulation aspect of the quest but I don't know how else to solve this without a retcon except by just handwaving it and saying the Tipserator is potent enough to get people drunk.
I haven't spoke to
@Velorien about this, but if I were in his shoes, what I would do is:
"Noburi has no idea. He's never heard of anyone breathing booze. Seems like it might work, so he'll take his best guess on concentrations, but it's purely a guess. Oh, look, it had no appreciable effect. Wonder if it was just that the concentration was too low or what? Well, have to experiment if we want to use this again in the future."
Saying it another way: Everyone in this thread (very specifically including me!) has had full access to the internet and modern medical journals and all of us said "Yeah, sure, seems plausible." If we thought it was feasible and turned out to be wrong, why wouldn't the kids?
You know, given that Henge and non-Henge are different beings, wouldn't we be able to gain immunity to ingested poisons by only eating them under Henge, and then dispelling the Henge to remove the poisoned foodstuff? Or does Henge not work that way?
It's long-established that you can still get poisoned, drunk, etc if you're henged. Why/how? Because chakra, that's why.
I actually have a reasonable question that won't cause headaches, for a change.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail how much is widely known about the Big Fight? Obviously Hiruzen is dead and Yagura is presumed dead, but are any of the circumstances public? What about the more in-the-know people, do the Leaf clan heirs know what happened to Naruto? I know that some of this will be HDK, but I'd also expect Jiraiya to have briefed the kids on what they're allowed to discuss with their peers.
I'm not sure. I'll talk to the others about it and get back to you.
So here's a question
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Can we ask Jiraiya after variants of seals? For instance, a non-sharp variant of Force Wall would be more ideal as a base for an absolute defense technique.
e: This is a "can" question as in like, is it super spoon heavy on you guys to do so, for reference.
What are you looking for? Is that "Hey, Jiraiya, do you have such a thing already?" or is it "Hey, Jiraiya, does this seem like a feasible thing for us to work on?"
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail
Just for reference, I've been avoiding suggesting seals that attack via chemical mechanisms (poisons/acids/bases/flammables/etc) because I was worried that having molecular products that are partially chakra-construct would lead to horrible ion clouds when the chakra-constructs dissipate. But I never actually checked that that's how you would play things. So what has Hazou been taught on the matter? Any horror stories about why you don't make acid-spray seals?
The one time it came up was back in chapter 67. Hazō has been focused on other things since then.
By the way, this is an older item but I wasn't sure if it ever got confirmed and wanted to make sure it was nailed down:
If we are DQ'd are we still able to take points away from other contestants (e.g., by correctly guessing that they are ninja/their secret identity)?
I'd expect that if you're DQ'd, you don't get to submit a ballot at the end, which would mean you couldn't do it directly. (This is NOT a ruling, but it's what I'd vote for at the moment. Am kind of doing a flyby of the thread and QM chat.)
@Velorien and I both signed off on
