- naruto rationalist romance armageddon is looking better and better damn you kishimoto explosions everywhere explosives solve everyone if in doubt surrender to the mercy of zabuza it seemed like a good idea at the time looks like a really bad case of being a jōnin my god. where does the lore end? precommitting is the winning plan screaming in kagome screw the rules i have explosives something bad might still happen sometimes you gotta sociopath stabby zabby subsection c of paragraph 9 should include we can weaponize this so hard

Getting seals wet and crumpled is historically a Very Good Idea, Nothing Can Go Wrong

As the QM who is not blatantly evil, I fully trust you and will attempt to get this worked into our next action plan.
- Location
- Yes.
I mean, Kagome's swallowed seals before, with the intention of using them if necessary.

If it's convincingly Jiraiya and interacting with the storyline on a regular basis, that's fine. A golem body or sufficiently accurate simulation would definitely count. A purely verbal one (telephone to the afterlife, black box) would probably count, although in that case I might reserve the right to put the counter on hold while I tried it out for a couple weeks. A big part of Jiraiya's character is around movement -- hopping around and posing while whacked out on stimulants or simply feeling euphoric, leaning on tables while making credible threats, etc. Likewise a completely de-powered Jiraiya might or might not feel like the same character when writing him. I'd play fair -- worst case is that the counter stops for a couple of updates and then starts again if it doesn't feel right.
@OliWhail answered this, but for clarification: You activate one side, it shuts off after about two minutes. If you activate the other side during those two minutes then the effect happens.

Note that Gai was born, not created in the colloquial sense. Sure, conception is technically a form of creation but that's not what the word is typically used to mean and nonstandard usages can be confusing.

My immediate thought for those works was bodyguard seals, but it would require whoever you're using it with to have situational awareness, and the ability to activate a seal, without being really about to defend themselves. Or else, substitution for someone who has pitifully low reserves. I wonder if there's a character that can activate seals, that we want to keep safe, who isn't a combatant on their own right yet...

So Gai is begotten, not created? To a theologian, this would raise some very worrying questions about Kishimoto.

HAZOU: "Oh hey, using this on ninja wire sounds useful. Hey, I wonder if a different shape makes the lightning spirits do other things, ike flat object get carried farther by wind spirits. Maybe....a helix or a spiral? Like a miniature tower or something going toward the heavens".
Watch us discovering/advancing magnetism and then build railguns.
Or just create electronics.
I'm down for adding exchange students to the trade deal
Another reason is that QMs will sometimes do a small time skip after a scene. So if you want to use time most efficiently you will want to bundle scenes together in a plan. Although I suppose alternatively you could specify in the action plan to end the update immediately after the scene.

Well, he did start a religion, promoting both a different lifestyle and a different morality. Most of the evangelization was done after his death by one of his disciples. He could absolutely walk on water.

If you want a setting where electronics coexist with pre-industrial Japan it's a lot easier to start a Dr. Stone Quest.
'cause if you'll manage to turn MfD into one, I'm pretty sure the grue will have a tasty Electrocution Seal on breakfast

I don't think so. The grue ate one thing, and it did it because it was a pain in the ass to model in any way that would make sense (that is, consistent limits, and no obvious hacks that would make the already seen details of the setting impossible). It doesn't eat things that are powerful, or things that would change the setting, because we still remember skywalkers.

True.
Still the point "works exactly like electricity except in cases where that would make the QMs lives difficult, at which point it works differently" still stands and I have a sinking suspicion that electronics may be a subject for this loophole.

We -- well, I, since I shouldn't speak for @Velorien although I suspect he agrees -- don't tend to be best pleased with demands about when to cut a chapter. Sometimes there are things I would like to have happen after the plan is exhausted, and it's frustrating to choose between writing the thing I'm excited about or respecting the plan. Generally it's preferred to make it a two-way thing -- you have the freedom to make whatever plan what you want to happen so long as you respect the setting, we have the freedom to write whatever we want so long as we respect the plan.
Off the top of my head, I have no objection to the idea of electronics. I reserve the right to change that opinion later, but that loophole was more intended for someone @Radvic ing the system with something like "Well, if it generates five amps at blarble blarble voltage and we combine it with a snarblebobble then we can explode the universe!"
Or, well, anything along the lines of "hang on, three hundred chapters ago you said that it only generate 5A at 110V, but our subatomic particle detection seal registered the presence of snabblebobble electrons and that's too many so where is the extra charge going?"

I take that as a "OK" for Skytower mounted railguns to shoot at people.

Indeed, if it generates those amps while ignoring kirchhoff's current law, that is, 5 amps go out one side without coming in the other side, bad things will happen very quickly. It probably won't destroy the universe unless you can keep that charge from flying away as fast as it can for years on end, but if you can, you have XKCD's proton earth scenario.
Hazo: "It's like sealing, except way less dangerous!"
Also, let name voltage after Hazo and amp after Kagome. 110 Hazoage at 5 Kagomes.

Oh dear. Do we correct the labeling of electrons or not? I vote not, because otherwise we will cause endless confusion, instead of the recognizable confusion of all current arrows being drawn backwards.

So 110 Gōketsu at 5 Gōketsu?

One possible solution to the interpersonal/planning dichotomy:
Have two plans, one for normal planning (negotiation, trade, killing, etc), and one for interpersonal stuff. The QMs can write whichever is more fun and offscreen the other plan, or hoist onto the other QM if they both find it fun.
What do people think?

You asked, she answered:
You asked, she answered:
As a very rough first approximation, ask yourself what would happen in the real world and then add layers of paranoid special-forces military dictatorship on top of it.
"In the real world, what would happen if we made copies of <X> we don't own, where <X> was the blueprints for a classified weapons system? Okay, how would that be different if we were living in a paranoid special-forces military dictatorship?"
As a general rule, chakra can only be emitted through the hands or the feet, and chakra from the feet is far more uncontrolled. That means only seals that have been explicitly modified to work with foot-based chakra (which typically means tree walking) can be activated by the feet.
I have no objection.

I can't think of any way to explode the universe assuming the seal functions similarly to a battery.

HDK.
I have been conditioned well.
