Depends very much on the local economy. $340K is not a lot of money *today*, but in a world of low productivity / efficiency it is quite a significant amount. Could easily be a couple months income of the village.

Then again, even our windfall was an amount of money that could at least be pretend-appropriate for one well-off merchant to spend all at once, so it probably wasn't too much. I'd also guess, from numbers that've been thrown around before in the quest, that the rough-estimation ratio for ryo-to-dollars is worse than 10-to-1.

- Yes.
You and I both know that the end state could easily have been a mistake, don't act as if it's a must-be.
ISC still have a reputation to uphold, that of the ISC not wanting to betray people. If they do defect against their assigned squads, people could look back upon this and think "oh, so ISC could betray you if they're assigned to you instead of picking you by choice". This is bad for their reputation, and IMO they'd prioritize this over scoring slightly better in the Exams.
Also, seriously? "ISC does not think their score is secure"? There's no way in hell.
We stayed in the exact same positions.

As the shounen protagonist, Hazou should honestly get a Rapport Aspect against people whom he's beaten.

*cough* It's possible that I have a habit of confusing those two and that none of {@Velorien, @OliWhail, @faflec} caught the mistake.
Besides, that's not what the spreadsheet says. *cough, cough*
Good news, everyone! Thanks to @Adept_Woodwright's keen eyes, you get way fewer points than I thought you did!
Code:

EJ => Adept_WoodwrightHere's what happened in the round:
- In round 2, ISC did not injure or imprison BT2S2 or BT2S3, their team from the first round
- In round 2, ISC did not injure RT1S2 or RT1S3, your team from the first round
- All of those people were allowed to keep their word halves.
The spreadsheet and the text doc have been updated. Also, Downfall is now properly marked as being on Kurenai's team in round 1. As far as I'm aware, all issues have been accounted for.
They were DQ'd from the Exams as a whole, not just from the event.
You were always #4-6. The issues were elsewhere -- for example, I missed the fact that Kurenai should have a -75 for their documents being turned in. I originally had them down for -225 in the first round, meaning that Kiba squeaked into the tournament by something like 8 points.

Fraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaands!
So now Kiba squeaks in and Mist is completely locked out of the Tournament in their own exams, with Leaf holding 9/16 slots.

God, Jiraiya's going to be insufferable at their next meeting.
YFW Ren has the battlefield for the tournament be a swamp environment.

Meaning they either have to let us back into the fold, at least when it comes to public outreach, or they have to take the hit of not having a single ninja in the tournament. Win-win as far as we're concerned.
That depends on what we do with the intervening month. If we play our cards right Noburi will have a dozen Byakugan and other bloodline organs floating in his barrel like pickled eggs.
If we whittle it down to only Leaf ninjas, would there be anything anybody could do to stop Leaf from unilaterally turning the entire event into a variety talent show to rub it in? Keiko knows some sharpshooter tricks and Hazou should be able to tap dance like Fred Astaire.

With regard to Hazou versus Keiko, I think it would be be best to choreograph the first half of the fight to show off what they're both capable of before resetting to starting positions and starting the fight properly. We're dealing with kage here, it's gonna be obvious that'd is choreographed otherwise.
