Oh yeah, also
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail How much chakra does a civilian have? Can Vampiric Dew tell the difference between a civilian and a ninja with 1CP?
Vampiric Dew lacks that level of precision. It can only tell that a person has "just enough chakra in them to keep them healthy".
Edit: Oh, also if Vampiric Dew was used on Noburi, but Noburi's barrel/chakra source never made contact with the water, would VD label Noburi's Chakra Reserves as 1CP? Or would it register as being Noburi's total Chakra Reserves?
Noburi's barrel is "wired" into his chakra system. Anything that senses one would sense the other as part of him. However, if the barrel is out of range for Noburi, he will register as having 1 CP.
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.
The clan heirs will know about Naruto. Rank-and-file ninja should not; nor should civilians. In ambiguous scenarios (Leaf jōnin, Mist clan heirs etc.), err on the side of caution and direct queries to the Hokage or others authorised to comment on Naruto's mission status.
Hiruzen's death is publicly known, but as far as the man in the street is aware, he died in his sleep of old age. This is helped along by the fact that, when he went off to the Ultimate Showdown, Hiruzen assigned an ANBU to occasionally henge as him and wander around the village for an hour or so. The average citizen of Leaf, and even many of the ninja, are not aware that Hiruzen was ever away and certainly don't know that he died in battle.
Jiraiya wants to make a public announcement of the heroism of Hiruzen's death at some point, but the exact timing of that is up in the air and probably no time soon.
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.
You can ask, but close seal variants aren't that common. Usually, a sealmaster will take the time to make/learn a separate seal optimised for any given task, sometimes related, sometimes not.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Does Hazou anticipate any problems for Jiraiya if this gets out?
Impersonating Mist government officials is certainly illegal, as are the majority of things a clever genin would do during the First Event. It's a question of where Mist chooses to draw the line--for example, there's no exam rule against stealing classified state secrets in order to trade them for event information, but you can bet Mist would come down on you like a ton of bricks if you did. So the question is: where will Mist draw the line? More pertinently, where will it draw the line when dealing with
you? (Hazō can, for example, imagine Mist going, "Yes, we intend to punish everybody who performed such an unconscionable act, but Team Gōketsu are the only ones we've caught doing it".)
@Radvic The event rules were changed after the update though. ...To my knowledge. ugh.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Can you clarify whether eaglejarl's rules or OliWhail's rules are canon?
OliWhail's rules. If in doubt, later QM posts trump earlier ones (unless we misremember something, in which case
@faflec will doubtless catch it.)
Ah fuck it, I'm going to ask.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail If you specify a contestant's name, village of origin, and/or team name correctly, do they lose the points you gain (in the same way that correctly identify a partygoer as a contestant gains you points and loses them points)?
Yes, they do. All voting is a zero-sum game except identifying your secret role counterpart.
@Velorien,
@eaglejarl,
@OliWhail - I have an annoying henge question for you! When you henge, does it change your scent? For instance, if you are wearing perfume, does that scent continue or stop?
It stops. The scent comes from particles on your body and clothes, which are no longer present. In addition, if you were wearing perfume on your real body, it will come back with your real body, but it will not carry over between separate uses of the Transformation Technique.
Edit:
Question: as Velorien pointed out, the plan explicitly called for Hazō to give out information on Akane's EM (whether or not the players realized it). The thing is, nothing Hazō did, said or thinks actually indicates it was an accident. (Noburi said so, and Hazō was worried about Akane being mad, but that's soft proof at best.) I know this story is aiming to be simulationist etc, but is this already set as "Hazō did something dumb," or is it still sufficiently up-in-the-air that we can declare Hazō did this on purpose? Because I'd like to have that option and it'd be good to know whether or not we can say so without having to roll Deceit.
Sort of both? Hazō did it deliberately because it didn't sufficiently register with him that Akane is on a separate team now, and he no longer gets a say in what she does with her personal abilities or whom she chooses to share them with, even if he thinks that doing so would be of net benefit to both of them.
