My plan explicitly does this
@Velorien How do you feel about chakra science, and Hazou doing chakra science alongside Snowflake? Also generally does the plan seem fun to you?

How OPSEC is skysliders? Can we share with Snowflake? I vaguely remember us planning to share with Akane, is this a "por que no los dos" / "might as well while we're hanging out with Snowflake" type deal?
------
When's the last time we got Haru on screen? Do we want some bonding time / a chance to figure him out?
Alternatively, I have a desire to get more screentime with Hinata, because she's been a background character who has had a big impact in our lives and will continue to do so. Is now as good a time as any?
(a minor plea to those who are voting to timeskip to not)

It was the specifics about the Shadow Clone/Bloodline interaction that I was annoyed at. Also the "I have my own memories" part.

For anyone hesitant to vote for this plan, I'd like to point out that Deceit not only helps when people are investigating a secret, but also helps prevent people from learning that there is even a secret to investigate.
With FOOM being as important as it is, we don't want even the fact that we're doing anything suspicious to leak. For only 155 XP, we double his ability to hide the project from detection. Now that he's started doing classified Zoo Rushes, we even have a good excuse for why we suddenly care about raising his OPSEC abilities.

Why are we angling for another time skip when we don't really know what happened in the last one.
Where are we anyway when it comes to Isan and/or Orochimaru's mission? I haven't managed to keep up with the intermittent discussions.

I notice that you neglected to mention that Mari translates as "truth" in a clear reference to the Orwellian memory hole and, oh, what is her signature forbidden sacrificial technique?

So essentially you want me to ask Asuma to congratulate them personally? I can do that

But like, letting Asuma in on the prank so he can have his fun.

So is Asuma supposed to visit all of them in their homes? He is kinda busy rn
how would you word it?

Oh no that would be ridiculous. It'd just be Miki, the project lead, and it wouldn't be a house call. The Hokage doesn't do house calls.
Not sure on exact wording. I'm currently on three pills of Benadryl so my brain isn't really working at its highest state rn. I can try to come up with something, if you want, but I'm not sure how good it'll be in my present condition. Even typing this was hard.

You can suggest it tomorrow, no rush!

Sadly, I cannot vote for a timeskip until we powered Akane up for future missions. Also... Are we going for Deceit for Noburi? not CR or Alert? He is going on missions too, i would like to note.

Actually, he didn't go out of the village in this last update. Zoo Rush is when he stays home and recharges other summoners via the Seventh Path.

Removed along with the Dog section.
Removed the Dog section, replaced with a chat with Yuno + Forbidden Lore fishing.
Alright, here's my rationale:
- Hazou is training Kagome in Summoning. This is not just a full-time job, it takes up 14 hours a day and managing the clan and other duties easily takes up the rest of his time. As a result, any amount of time until the Summoning training is done is fully booked, and any scenes we vote in are squeezed in at the expense of Summoning training.
- The suggested time frame is only a suggestion, and the QM will ignore the suggestion if they don't like it.
- If something important happens, it will interrupt the plan, like Zabuza showing up the the Game Night
- By extension, we can infer that nothing important or actionable for Hazou happened in the last two weeks, because otherwise the update would have been interrupted.
- Hazou himself isn't relevant to the war -- we've asked Asuma to be a part of strategic and tactical planning, we've asked for the retrieved intelligence from the base, and we've been told no. We, the players, still don't really understand what ninja war is like. The Zoo Rush idea was our best shot given the information we had available, and since then we've received approximately no new information, including on Lightning or other parties, so we can't have new ideas. Instead, the most important thing is getting to a position where we can actually gather new information.
@Velorien Since we learned from last cycle that it's important to test our unconfirmed assumptions, is the rationale outlined above reasonable? Or am I making a bad assumption somewhere?

For her next step in SC training ability, Akane needs 495 XP to jump from Resolve 39 (10 training blocks for +1.0x XP) to Resolve 50 (15 training blocks for +1.5x XP). At present, she's saved up 311 XP. However, being deployed in the war, it seems likely that upgrading her base stats could be a more valuable long-term use of that same XP than finishing saving up for the jump (as she can't use SC training if she's dead).
However, the most important thing remains: finding a niche for Akane (e.g. skyslider training) that doesn't require her to be deployed as an ordinary punch-chuunin mook.
Note: we don't want to push a stat to 50, since that will make us have to do a considerably more painful Resolve jump over the 50s.
[] Training Akane: Save up for the Resolve jump
No changes.
Save 311 XP.
[] Training Akane: Alertness Focus
Alertness 42 -> 48 (273 XP)
Save 38 XP.
[] Training Akane: Athletics Focus
Athletics 44 -> 49 (235 XP)
Save 76 XP.
[X] Training Akane: Mix-and-Match
Athletics 44 -> 46 (91 XP)
Alertness 42 -> 46 (269 XP)
Save 42 XP.

Have another counter proposal if we want to spend Akane Xp. As we got shown in story she has terrible deceit. Literally can not lie to save her life. Getting her decent deceit would drastically improve foom OPSEC. We can do a general increase of Alertness, Athletics, and deceit
[X] Training Akane: Learning to lie
Deceit 8 -> 19 (154 xp)
Athletics 44 ->46 (91 xp)
Alertness 42 ->43 (43 xp)
save 23 xp

Honestly, no. The chakra science especially. I must say I'm confused about what makes it sound fun to you (IC, as a way to spend time with Snowflake).
The thing is, if she doesn't have her own memories, she doesn't have her own personality, which would be tantamount to saying that she is not a person. If you wish to suggest to Snowflake that she claim this in the name of OPSEC, more power to you.
Edit: More generally, I'm confused about what this is meant to defend. Shadow clones having their creators' memories is the main thing everyone knows about the technique, since otherwise they wouldn't share the creators' skills or be able to pass as them, and would be strictly worse than elemental clones. Snowflake having her own memories is an effect of the Frozen Skein which it is useless for anyone to know about.
??? No, it doesn't.
Also, I named Mari. Why would you tell me what her name is or is not referencing?
Reasonable overall, with the caveat that I would say there are always things you can do at a given time, and often some of them are time-sensitive.
