Above all else? I'm very happy that Keiko has gone from someone who think's they themselves are trash at everything, to boldly standing in front of a hundred or so genin, proclaiming that she is in fact hot shit, and letting them know they are complete trash.
Sure,maybe it was just a bluff tactic. Progress though! Growth mindset.
I'll write a serious punching Omake at some point next month that explains exactly where all this bonus XP comes from.
We should think of contingencies for Team Kurenai, ISC and R1 allies.
Also, figure out what the hell to do when we face each other in the bracket.
If we didn't get one for Minami being murdered in front of our eyes and a ninja writing a message on the wall in her blood, I don't think this will suffice.

I'm going to take artistic license and its going to come out part action and part comedy.

I thought a lot of these guys were dropping out though?
Kato is also dropping out.

Don't we also get TTS points for overcoming great challenges? TTS points are "I've seen shit, I've killed shit, I've done shit, you don't scare me."

We have probablyyyy earned one this event in that case IMO.
I thought that was a foregone conclusion?

I don't know. It seems like our participation influenced that outcome a lot, and that ISC and Kurenai would have faced much stiffer competition if we hadn't been present, which to me seems like we probably took it from 2-4 Leaf nin entering the tournament to nine getting in.
I was thinking of writing a Paths of Elemental Nations omake for Mist, in which the Diplomatic Hero rejoice in her nephew's success.
I don't see Roki in there. Make that 91.

Depends on where Kurenai stood relative to our R1 and R2 partners.
Both ISC and our R1 partners gained 455+ relative to Kurenai (which, I believe, puts all of them ahead, slightly)
Our R2 partners gained 260+ on Kurenai.
If they were even middle of the pack, going into this event, they might be slightly ahead of Kurenai, points wise.
Neither Kurenai or our R2 partners have word halves for Event 1, so no changes coming there (we were planning, at some point, to offer word halves for R2 partners, but evidently didn't need to.
Maybe the word halves we return to R1 partners ensure that they make the tournament, if they want to, but is still open question regarding the remaining 3 (18-5 of 16 accounted for)spots and Kurenai vs our R2 partners.
Edit: I said it before the update as well - if I was Mist, I'd put some Mist ringers on our team to hedge my bet. I wouldn't be surprised if Tachibana and the Mist Taijutsu guy had high enough scores.

Basically, I've always modeled them as "Would having done this prevent you from being intimidated by someone?" If yes, then get a TYS point.
In which Hazou punches out an unsuspecting Zabuza.

This is verbatim the roll against Touma with an extra +16 from extra bonuses. Did we not use Roki there either?
@eaglejarl Looks like we may have slammed Touma into the dirt harder than we thought?

We do have to beat deception - maybe Touma rolled well and we sucked?

Huh, looks like a versioning problem. When I was writing that chapter I originally had Hazō use the blast rings, but then I realized I'd forgot to add in Roki so I put that in and took the rings out so he could keep them secret. I must have edited something and overwritten the chapter with the old version. I'll fix it tomorrow.

Cough Cough.
I believe he gets tags on the two Consequences he just inflicted as well? Doesn't seem to be in there. I think thats what you originally replaced the blast rings with?

Is this officially a thing we are doing?
Eh. We can repair a lot of the stuff that isn't against Cloud /Rock nin. We should consider chit chatting with Team Downfall for example.

I don't believe that format has been accepted by the QMs?
Not really. I supposed we could up with a list of options that "reasonably" covers all the base.

I meant the vote format.
I don't understand really what you're suggesting here anyway.
Vote format, no. I just thought of doing preemptive voting.
The other part is that we or the QMs have to make a list of options to vote for.

Are there any canidates for the tournament that the members of team uplift would have a problem fighting one on one? Because right now it looks like a stomp, but I expect people to be training for a month with the clear idea of wanting to beat us.
