@OliWhail @Velorien @eaglejarl how many Jounins do the various clans have?
HDK.

On to a completely different topic:

@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail ?
Could you re-post? If there's a way for me to jump back to this original quote, I'm too tired to see it. (What am I even doing awake at 3 a. m. Velorien time?)

Edit: NM. Apparently I can jump from my post, but not my preview. Anyway, will need to check with other QMs. Maybe stick it in the questions doc because I will forget it as things stand?

So did Hazou not process that Keiko accounted for this and was willing to accept the loss in personal power while also pointing out that the clan's power wouldn't be diminished since we'd still get the gold through the Toads?

Am I missing something?
His initial reaction was before she'd said any of that stuff.

Didn't we just have an update where Hazou talked about the clan not being as important to him as the members of Uplift? When did this change? This is a complete 180 from my previous understanding of Hazou's priorities.
Hazō's priorities have been influenced by the fact that he is suddenly responsible for all of them collectively as opposed to just being one member of a group struggling to define its identity.

Huh the skein can be used as a dispel with no somatic component. Interesting.
To be exact:
Mori did not dream of the Frozen Skein. It was not allowed. If Kei had access to it… then she was in the waking world and Ami's forgiveness was real.

Question how the fuck did Ami get in leaf at a time of maximum political chaos? Who approved this and gave her an escort? What shadow council is running leaf now? How did she get permission to leave mist so fast to be in leaf within a day? This makes no sense
 
Mari is going to bed with tears in her eyes at the thought of how she twisted Keiko into doing what she wanted. Every bit of admiration in those words was real, and Mari just betrayed that. It'll help for a little while to blame Hazou for that, but that is going to turn into resentment or detachment if left to fester.

And we haven't even gotten to how Keiko will be affected, Mari is deeply important to her, and answering that question has a good chance to throw her into a loop of self-recrimination.

We need to deal with Mari soon, like in the next plan:
  • Hazou chats with Mari about her own well-being:
    • Manipulating Keiko like that must have been like stabbing her yourself.
    • It was the right choice but Hazou has some inkling of what that must have cost her, and takes full responsibility for it.
    • Gently remind her that her orders are to protect the clan, and that she is a part of the clan. Her own well being matters.
    • If need be, order Mari to talk about what she is going through her thought on what happened
    • Decide in front of her that your own initial order wasn't well thought out. Amend it to "Protect the well-being of the members of the clan."
    • Mari should not be defending the clan as an entity, but the people who make it up. The clan is just a tool.
    • Sometimes that means doing something that hurts the clan as an entity (letting Keiko stop selling seals) but which supports its members (supporting and reinforcing Keiko's progress towards self-confidence)
    • Hazou wants to earn Mari's trust that "It's okay to do things that are suboptimal for the clan as an entity to help its members. We are clever fucks, we'll figure it out."

I think this becomes a pretty urgent aside we need to have. Especially with Mari's attempt not working, she'll be torn. Glad she failed and hating herself for even trying.

We can't just treat her like a disposable resource, like we have been. We need to talk to her.

Yes, Mari will see right through this, but as long as we are sincere it'll work anyway.
 
In the thread.





But seriously, look up "Vote Tally" under any of your posts.

Thank you! I didn't know that was a thing.
Adhoc vote count started by Ample Accelerate on May 23, 2019 at 9:49 PM, finished with 184 posts and 17 votes.

Travel distance between Leaf and Mist is around two days IIRC. Otherwise HDK.
 
@Velorien how does Hazō not know? There's only like 25 left in the village. Kei can unmask ANBU members but Hazō can't keep track of public officials?

You think people are running Leaf? That the approval wasn't some ad-hoc response by a confused bureaucracy running around like a chicken with its head cut off?

You sweet summer child you. :>
 
We have not been selling them skywalkers, nor should we anytime soon.
Hazou chats with Mari about her own well-being:
I pretty much agree with all of those bullet points. @huhYeahGoodPoint Any chance you could add that to your plan.
Or, in case we want to stick to strictly one scene, can we either move up talking to Ino to right after the party or, I don't know, @Jello_Raptor would you like to make that a one-scene plan for the evening right after the wedding?
Ok, how does any civilian get married? Is this a ninja only part of the ceremony?

No I never realized that vote tally button was there. Something that has been keeping me from big quests was freaking out about what the actual current votes are.

Edit: I always appreciate sarcasm.

You can let in a infiltration spec jounin from another village but we can't send a letter? How does this world work
 
[X] Action Plan: Ino, You Know

[X] Lore Update: Literally all the political information Hazou should have but we don't.

[X] Action Plan: Crisis Management

I can definitively say that while Hazou May or May Not Know (faflec.reaction), I have absolutely no idea whats going on anymore.

It's been upwards of 6 days, I think.

That's faflec.response, not faflec.reaction. The latter involves screaming.

I really don't have the wherewithal for plan management, but you're welcome to do it. In fact I would appreciate it if someone does.

Now I'd add another bullet to it "If Mari is distancing herself from the discussion, (via humour, condescension, or otherwise) point that fact out."

Distancing herself is an easy out she would have if she wanted to keep from engaging emotionally with us. She's done it before, so I think it's worth warding against.
