@eaglejarl: Huh, could we ask if command could make all the questions and answers asked about the context public? It'll save them time having to deal with duplicates, make secrecy a much less effective strategy, and make it feel much more fair to everyone.
I don't think this should have much Doylist effect on your work you'll probably be answering the same questions either way, with maybe a bonus to rolls trying to figure out what others are planning.
It also makes it harder to blindside us on a technicality, which the Hivemind should appreciate.
Also, command could just say "No" in which case we'd switch strategies from "get the best thing for Leaf within acceptable rules" to "get whatever Asuma would think good for Leaf". The latter means we're going to take into account pro-ninja, anti-civilian, and a-economic models that everyone else seems to have.
Fake Edit: Actually, why don't we just skip a step. I still think we should send a note to command suggesting public QAs for the competition, but as a playerbase we should just start evaluating our ideas with our best guess at Asuma's models, rather than models influenced by our own biases. (Even if the latter is better at predicting true outcomes than Asuma's)
Unrelated: We should give #4 to Haru if possible, with the stipulation that we get the adoption slots, and that otherwise his "Clan" serve the interests of the clanless of Leaf. It just hits so many boxes on the checklist at once.
- Devalues the notion of a 'Clan'
- Gives the clannless ninja of Leaf much needed representation
- Creates a strong ally very fast
- Allows us to get the notion of democratic egalitarianism into the minds of Leaf
- Provides a strong connection to the civilian class
- Turns a pile of unherdable cats into a single political block that has a vote
