Tengen Toppen Gurran Game Night.

Pareto Optimal Game Night.

In brightest dawn, in gamest night.

Ain't no game night like a ninja game night.

tonight we dine in hell and then game in the Goketsu compound.
Unfortunately these are not Tabletop RPG puns! Still hilarious though
 
Thanks! It was quite a lot of work, yes. First there was a lot of writeup in text form, and then I ended up doing a complete spreadsheet for all 72 contestants. Not all of them ended up getting names or full scores, since it clearly wasn't going to matter, but at least 1/2 of them did. Then there was a lot of effort making sure that we had the right number of people from each village and that they were teamed up in ways that made sense based on MfD canon.



My cofounder has literally spent the last year writing a grant proposal. If you want to do a full grant proposal that is completely in accord with...let's say the NSF's...guidelines, and the contents are up to spec for a real grant proposal, I will happily award a whole bunch of XP.



Also, someone (I forget who) was asking if it's a mistake that the bonus XP for short plans is going in the regular pile. Yes, it is. It will be corrected at some point once there are spoons. All of us are very short on those at the moment. Given that it's only a handful of points, I don't see it being an issue if this isn't resolved soon, so I wouldn't worry about it.

He is amused. He agrees with me that, if the resulting grant is particularly high quality and in accord with NIH requirements, then we would at least want to talk to the person/people involved about actually writing a real grant proposal for our company.

I doubt you mind much one way or another, but the current draft is leaning more toward the NSF guidelines, rather than the NIH.

Can refactor if necessary.

Some minor improvements. Notably: DO NOT DELIVER A LETTER TO AKANE.

  • (Retroactive, offscreen) Hazou works on replenishing Skywalker seal blanks.
  • Game night:
    • Divide into four or five groups, each playing a different game.
    • Try playing at least one game of Yakuza with everyone (Ninja!Mafia).
    • Let people chose which group to join, and randomly assign them if they can't decide.
      • Recommend changing groups and trying a different game once done with your current one.
Misc:
  • For the remainder of the night, continue work on replenishing skywalkers after others have left.

Can you just copy my avatar?
There's a certain degree of humor there for anyone who was watching American politics in the early Naughties.

Apologies. NSF, please.
 
[X] Action Plan: Game Night
  • Spend some more time with Hana and invite her to game night.
  • Ask Mari to deliver an invitation to Akane.
    • Hazō didn't want to snub Akane who was(and still is) part of Team Uplift
    • However, Hazō didn't trust himself, so he relies on Mari's judgement.
  • Game night:
    • Divide into four or five groups, each playing a different game.
    • Let people chose which group to join, and randomly assign them if they can't decide.
      • Recommend changing groups and trying a different game once you're done your current one.
Misc:
  • Continue research on Casino Seals.
  • Make some more Skywalkers, both to start replenishing your own stockpiles and in case Jiraiya needs more in a hurry. Remember OPSEC.

Updated, using Vecht's suggestions.
 
To people who are voting to invite Akane to game night that I as a woman think this is a terrible idea
 
[X] Action Plan: Game Night
  • Spend some more time with Hana and invite her to game night.
  • Ask Mari about sending an invitation to Akane.
    • Hazō didn't want to exclude Akane but he felt he need time apart.
    • However, Hazō didn't trust himself, so he relies on Mari's judgement.

Some slight edit so Hazō talk to Mari about Akane stuff.

Looks good enough.
 
Can we please just not do the Akane stuff?

Theres zero reason to feel bad if she feels slighted by this, and if this becomes a point of contention later we can just explain to her that Hazou's dumb ass didn't realize they were donezos until the day beforehand.

Here's a reference, if you want to include it in the grant proposal. It's in CSE, and was done entirely on my phone, so apologies for any atrocities I accidentally committed.

Wakahisa A, Wakahisa Y, and Mori H. Chakra water intake increases urine production. Biol urine transfu trac (BUTT). 45;3:666-678.
 
[X] Action Plan: Game Night
  • Spend some more time with Hana and invite her to game night.
  • Ask Mari about sending an invitation to Akane.
    • Hazō didn't actually clue in to the breakup until recently, and is taking it a bit hard.
    • However, Hazō didn't want to exclude Akane, so she's still invited.
    • If Akane shows up. Hazō will do his best to avoid interaction with Akane.
  • Game night:
    • Divide into four or five groups, each playing a different game.
    • Let people chose which group to join, and randomly assign them if they can't decide.
      • Recommend changing groups and trying a different game once you're done your current one.
Misc:
  • Continue research on Casino Seals.
  • Make some more Skywalkers, both to start replenishing your own stockpiles and in case Jiraiya needs more in a hurry. Remember OPSEC.

I don't like this plan because it does NOTHING about training for the Tournament or researching Hazou's first opponent in favor of more stuff that could be skimmed over with few lines. Why pull the brake and screech the quest to a halt like this?
 
I didn't pay much attention to it, but I had hand-me-down politics from the adults around me.
Looking back though, I miss Bush. He was relatively classy.
And thus we see how low the bar has fallen.

More seriously: I agree. He was a bit of a bro (eg giving Angela Merkel an unsolicited shoulder rub) but he was classy by the standards of today.

Got rid of the Akane section. People can vote for another plan with akane stuff included.

Because that's what we want to do?

It includes seal research and whatnot anyway. We're planning on doing a two week timeskip or so at the end of the month (for training) anyway.

In light of that, I don't understand why you're so impatient.

This plan covers game night, which is going to happen regardless. We have minimal time until then, but I'm not opposed to spending it training instead of baking cookies.

I concur with more optimal expenditures of time, though, so I think it's best to cut the plan after tonight so that the next vote is for the following day. Practically, I doubt the update will go past that anyway.

My plan has been updated to reflect this.

Some minor improvements. Notably: DO NOT DELIVER A LETTER TO AKANE.

Do not expect updates (limited time).

  • Spend some more time with Hana and invite her to game night.
    • Possible conflicts of interest, but would it be possible to learn skills or tricks using Iron Nerve?
    • Tips for training Alertness and/or Chakra Capacity

  • Game night:
    • Divide into four or five groups, each playing a different game.
      • Try playing at least one game of Yakuza with everyone (Ninja!Mafia).
    • Let people chose which group to join, and randomly assign them if they can't decide.
      • Recommend changing groups and trying a different game once you're done your current one.
Misc:
  • Spend any remaining time tonight scribing Skywalkers to replenish our stock. Ensure all participants have left first, and observe proper OPSEC.

E: Also cut Akane.
