I think that the replacement of the word 'purely' with 'solely' is clearer: I had to think to understand what was meant by what was written.

[X] Action Plan: In Which Hazou Lives Up To His Reputation
  • Mari sanity check all:
  • Precautions for Akane's Elemental Mastery practice:
    • We have chosen to focus on this because we think the jutsu may have weird behaviour when pushed to the extreme.
    • 'Extreme' and 'weird behaviour' are not nice words in sealmaster speech.
    • Furthermore, it's important that nobody else learns what we discover.
    • Therefore, we should only practise Elemental Mastery well outside of Leaf, with as much safety as possible. Think of it like TH tests without the need to hack the jutsu first.
    • Whenever Akane pushes the limits of the jutsu, it should be cast by a Shadow Clone proxy with Prime over a mile away.
    • We're aware that this is paranoid, but paranoia pays off sooner or later.
  • The concerns of the KEI:
    • We know that the law affords clan heads unilateral control over their clan, and thus no punishment can be levied by the Tower, we can still create a civil contract that punishes foul play.
      • When Hazou requests a ticket for a specific KEI ninja, he cannot use the ticket on anyone else.
      • A KEI ninja adopted into Hazou's clan will never be ordered to share their KEI jutsu with others in the clan.
        • This can be waived on a jutsu-by-jutsu basis based on future deals made with KEI leadership.
      • If a KEI jutsu somehow ends up as solely in Hazou's clan, we will teach it back to the KEI.
      • Very expensive penalties for breach of contract.
    • With this, it should be possible to permit adoptions without fear of jutsu theft. Are these terms acceptable?
  • Start research on one of the more basic Isan/Sarubetsu seals. Try to avoid FP expenses.
I must sleep now, so no updates for a little while. I expanded the KEI section because I think it is important for the deal to be an enforceable contract with penalties for breaches, as much as is possible under the circumstances. The KEI cannot stop Hazou if he chooses to adopt whoever he pleases with the ticket, but if he does so it will be in breach of a contract intended to be as punitive as possible: thus the KEI will be afforded some measure of security from the principle of self-interest. Naturally, for other clauses the question becomes 'do they catch Hazou in breach of contract?' which erodes its ability to create trust, but I cannot think of a way to be more transparent in a way that Counterfactual Evil Hazou could not evade.

But more importantly, this plan provides precautions for Elemental Mastery tests, and rationale to justify them, which should allow for people to safely vote for the Elemental Mastery XP-expense plan. If you feel the precautions or rationale are insufficient, let me know and I'll try my best to improve the plan when I wake up.

I also avoid a necromancy timeskip here because, as much as I love necromancy, we need FP to do research and our source of FP (at least, when we have so few of them) is more updates. This plan sources us another FP in relatively short order while we finally reach a major milestone in our destructive ambitions. This is, in my opinion, necromancy-optimal.

EDIT: I have added some low-level seal research that shouldn't need any FP to complete.

DO NOT USE THE SEVENTH LETTER OF THE ALPHABET, OR ANY WORD THAT CONTAINS SAID LETTER IN YOUR POSTS

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EDIT OR DELETE POSTS WITH THE FORBIDDEN LETTER, THIS INCURS ADDITIONAL PENALTIES

PLEASE SEARCH FOR (Ctrl + F) / (⌘ + F) AND REMOVE ALL INSTANCES OF THE SEVENTH LETTER BEFORE YOU POST​

Pro tips:
  • USE THE JASHINDAMNED SEARCH FUNCTION
  • You can, in fact, search for the FORBIDDEN WORD on your phone. Please do so.
  • Don't dick around about the situation. SO MUCH OF XP lost thus far has been from commentary about the situation.
  • Avoid adjectives. Most adjectives use the format [noun] + "in" + [FORBIDDEN WORD].

Did I miss a forbidden word besides the forbidden letter, is it a mistype, or is it some two-byte allocation?

By your own rules qm quotation is extempt, and unless some weird multiple personality object is to the effect, you quote yourself every time you speak.

I'll avoid the write of more posts until the week is over, I notice bleed of letter avoid pattern into subconscious now and wish to avoid further impact on rest of life
 
I really appreciate the sheer variety with which people deal with the loss of the Line Pattern From Which Reality Bleeds. Some are just replacin[-] it with a different symbol, some flex their ability to rephrase sentences to avoid it and act like it's not even an obstacle, some are makin— some make a show of catchi— of their need to catch and rephrase themselves, some caveman-talk, sum a' typin' lahk zey havuh sick accent (Ahvn't been consistent 'nuff 'n zat, yore welcome), some opt to not talk here at all. Very fun.

I hope not, it was too much stress. Specially when people came with the react walls and lost us around 20 XP.

This made me chuckle (there's a synonym that I would rather use that is unfortunately forbidden...). Take the usual, +1 XP to a PC of your choice, chosen by 1d4 if you do not pick in 24 hours.

Likewise, when I scrolled back in the thread, I only belatedly got this joke and also chuckled. Please take the same award, +1 XP to a PC of your choice, chosen by 1d4 if you do not pick in 24 hours.

Why thank you! Taken into consideration that Hazō's XP currently bleeds out, I do believe he'll need it. This with the hopes he (we) will choose to invest that boon of experience, that unexpected manna, doubtless felt by him in the form of sudden clarity and depth of rumination... towards an improvement in penmanship. (This could have been Quest Over, folks, and if we must persist in our plans to mess with the very fabric of spacetime and power, with odds that will only continue to rise yet more and more - we need to make our letters look pretty. At least then we'll be able to use them all.)

I'm not worried about it. Our boy is getting 26 Xp a day currently. Plus SSA makes that even more effective. Itachi looks like a bitch in comparison

Na[-]ato looks like a bitch in comparison, itachi is a bitch, period.
Also Hidan would probably be proud of how fast is Hazō's evolution. Soon he will become the perfect murrder and un-murrder machine.

[After a 6 month timeskip]

Hazō: Here, Hidan. Enjoy.
Hidan: What is this?
Hazō: This is a door.
Hidan: I can see that.
Hazō: I stabilised the rift from O'uzu in that door. You want to kill someone, you kill them in front of the door, then you can open it and you'll find them behind. You can take them out, and kill them a second time, a third, as much as you want.
Hidan: *cries*
Hazō: are you okay?
Hidan: I've never had a birthday present before ;u;

Uhhh, you all are aware that his seal-infusion roll was more than double that of his seal-assembly roll, correct?

Implemented. 356 notes XP spent, update your trackers. Felicitations are due for Hazou, as his XP total now exceed's Kei's.

IIRC we spent zero XP on the Seal skill. It's all free virtual XP, yes ?
Well, in any case I will now push for more Inkbrush, and possibly more ES if it's needed to advance on the 3D Seal Problem.

Also, happy to see Akane now has EM 40! I hope we test it on-screen soon!
