Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to criticize Velorien directly or specifically. I just called it Velorien's post because Velorien posted it.
I'm afraid I don't really understand the mechanisms behind this. Why are we leveling Resolve and Shadow Clone specifically? Also, how do we level?
We level by doing awesome stuff the QMs like and by IC time passing. Special training methods can boost experience gain from time passing. Shadow Clones that spend their time training give a big boost to experience gain, but cost a lot of chakra to maintain and hurt your brain when they pop if they did a lot of stuff that the original did not (which is necessary for their training to have a point). Noburi solves the chakra problem during training and Resolve defends against the brain pain.
In the Jutsu doc attached to the welcome page of the quest, Shadow Clone mechanics are included on the doc. You should read the Rules doc before bothering with the others, but essentially, investing XP into Shadow Clones means we can have clones last longer and summon more of them at a time, meaning more time that they're training in a day. However, there is psychic backlash from absorbing so many memories at once, so you have to boost your Resolve or take psychic damage essentially, known in these rules as a "Mental Consequence".
You can vote for whatever you want while voting is closed (which it currently is) and those votes won't do anything since whenever a new chapter is posted all votes are reset.
This isn't quite right, actually. XP awards are based on the quality of the plan (in terms of how interesting it is, what it aims to accomplish, and how well it does so). 1-3 XP per in-universe day is typical; outstanding plans sometimes earn 4, and disastrous plans can earn 0, though this is very rare. If a plan covers less than a day, it receives proportionally less XP, and sometimes a plan receives 0 XP if that time period was already covered by an XP award from a past plan.
To expand on the esteemed @Tua's explanation, Youthsuit Green (which I can't seem to find in the current colour palette) is a reference to the traumatic (for the QMs) events of the Youthsuit Incident, and serves as a request for punishment by those who believe that Hazō's life is currently too easy.
This is EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much!
I remember the Youthsuit Incident (though I didn't pay close attention to how it happened since I was reasonably confident that the attentive players would never let it happen again without any input from me).
This is about right, I think. From talking with Akane and Keiko, they see Uplift as an abstract thing, to which concrete actions and results strive towards. Whereas from what I recall of our Uplift talks with Noburi, he's more concretely focused on problems like medicine. It's unclear what Mari's doing, but she doesn't seem very ideologically driven, rather trying to do good things such as with the abused kids. That said, this is probably more a question for the thread and the supporters of the "introspect" plan, which I cribbed from.
Scrip suddenly lost a lot of confidence from investors/merchants due to the bank run. The Tower was forced to back it up with Tower Gold, but since they don't actually have enough to cover everything they're riding their reputation/threat of violence to say "we will pay you back, just wait a while. Demand it sooner/say it won't be paid and we'll beat your ass". It caused these hesitant merchants to raise prices both because of the unstable economy and for those who had a lot of scrip and need to recoup their money. Other merchants are hesitant to come and deliver product in Leaf because of the economic crisis. And so on.
So the lack of food (originally) comes not from a shortage but from artificially raised prices due to decreased trust in currency. However, due to the turbulent finances of the villages, food imports to Konoha are genuinely decreasing and there is going to be/is already an actual shortage of food.
That's how I currently understand it, if there's more to it the QMs will have to correct me.
Looking at our own history, no meaningful change was ever enacted (as far as I know) by a handful of teenagers working in isolation with no access to significant resources or information.
Welcome to the quest tho!
Don't worry, we're getting to that
That's why you hide very deep and very far until you have the power. Anonymity is the best tool.
That's how you get killed by the Akatsuki (who all had flying mounts thanks to Itachi, Pain, and Deidara) or for that matter any S Ranker with Space Time bullshit or something like the Condor Scroll. For that matter, Akatsuki would've just won Nagi island without us for intel. Same way we would never have received the Dog Scroll and thus been able to intercept the DRAGONWAR
Already joined the discord! Thank you for having me. I'm quite excited to join such a fun community.
I mean, is there anything called an actual civilization in the Elemental Nations? We're literally talking about a society consisting of subsistence farming peasants, where height of industry is workshops centralized in literal villages that are headed by a dictatorship. Even if you destroy everything, it isn't that important. You can easily start from scratch and build a world befitting your vision without losing much, since there wasn't any meaningful civilization to begin with.
