The playerbase doesn't really seem to mind the implications?We should really cut the Uchiha section, given what the QMs told us about what it would imply.

I mind, I would like to see that changed
Soooo if she's teaching 3 genin did we get 3 adoption slots? Presumably for our 3 academy kids?"I have a new genin team," Akane said.
...
"It was Lord Hokage's suggestion," Akane said, and the pieces began to fall into place. "I was going to be tied up with tutoring for a while anyway as part of our adoption deal, but this way the KEI get more of the support they need, and it makes our adoption deal a straightforward success for them instead of a grudging bargain."
I read their approval as heavily sarcastic. Let's do a quick check. Who else thinks that it's a bad idea given what the QMs have said?

Basically this.Personally, I read Paper's approval as "Oh wow, the problems this will cause will be really fun for QMs to write! Heads up that the problems will be caused, but genuinely please do this.".
We should model after the Sarutobi. Jiraiya's mentor was Sarutobi Hiruzen, the God of Shinobi. We can afford to put respect on that name.Ah, I misread the tone! Sorry about that!
What would y'all like the design of the estate to modeled after, since the Uchiha Layout carries unwanted implications?
IIRC, the Nara layout is pretty cool, and Ami had the former KEI rooms on the Uchiha Estate filled with artwork that improved productivity.
Okay! Posting my backup idea!

???/300 words
- Kei/Mari/Gaku check all:
- Design
- Blend design elements from other clan compounds to represent the links to Leaf we have so far:
- Uchiha, representing Hazou's ancestors.
- Nara, representing Kei's marriage to Shikamaru.
- Senju, representing Jiraiya's teammate (and Noburi's maybe-apprenticeship, but that's still early days).
- Orochimaru's compound (he might feel slighted if we ref Tsunade but not him).
- Sarutobi, representing Jiraiya's sensei.
- Yamanaka, representing Hazou/Akane's relationship with Ino.
- Aburame, representing our budding business relationship.
- Architects are also encouraged to invent creative and modern design elements — we're a research clan, after all.
- Hire Shikamaru-recommended KEI-architects from NFF.
- Construction
- Hazou creates quartz for highlights.
- ES to add gold filigree to important buildings.
- Mosaics where appropriate.
- Details
- Hide Koi pond for FOOM OPSEC training.
- Bathhouses.
- Add waterslides.
- Great Hall suitable for larger (1000+ person) events.
- Decorate with huge dragon skeleton carving.
- Relief carvings of the summon clans we're contracted with.
- Cafeteria.
- School.
- Clinic/Mental Health Offices
- Connect up the aqueduct we built, and the sewers in preparation for when they're ready for deployment.
- Gardens/Greenhouses for Phytosealing Botanical Gardens to come.
- Flank the entrance with statues of Hashirama with unique plants flourishing from his ninjutsu, and Tobirama studying those plants and carrying research scrolls hanging over his arm.
- Add fruit trees to supplement food supply.
- ES relief carvings that resemble 2D/3D sealing on surfaces to hide real seals in the noise.
- Subterranean complex.
- Civilian evac shelters.
- Lampposts.
- Statues holding daybright seals?
- Monument to the Lost [Temporarily in Another Path].
- Statues.
- Jiraiya colossus.
- Other Gouketsu VIPs (incl Gaku, hehe)
- Hazou's Uchiha ancestors pre-Kurosawa split (ask Sasuke for help).
I liked that Maddie's references a lot of different styles without being those styles, personallyAh, I misread the tone! Sorry about that!

If it causes issues perhaps do not do it? Maybe?I read their approval as heavily sarcastic. Let's do a quick check. Who else thinks that it's a bad idea given what the QMs have said?
Hi, sorry but I ended up stopping reading for a while and have not read too far past where I commented last. I will probably pick this quest up again soon, I just got pretty bored with the direction that it took. Nothing against the writing or where the original questors want the plot to go it just stopped interesting me. I enjoyed the open world and how the characters were developing there, the whole village arc really isn't interesting to me personally. Hope this answers your question.Out of curiosity, are you still reading? If so, did it move more in the positive/negative direction, or did it stay the same?
bump@Paperclipped @eaglejarl @Velorien
Has Mari said anything about whether Akane can resume FOOMing safely yet?
As I understand it, we stalled out there because our first experiment 'crank HOWS beyond red' failed horribly when Hazou concluded it was a sealing failure instead of an interesting unknown phenomenon. In all likelihood he would outright refuse to replicate the experiment, blocking us from giving him the idea that light exists beyond red.I link-walked back into the archives and came across an interesting thread that got dropped: a while back, y'all created the Light Relay seal with the intention of using it to set up long-distance communication. Not that you have time for it right now what with the Conclave coming up, but it was an interesting idea that I figured I'd remind you of.

This sounds very good. I have a few thoughts. Is there an upper bound on the amount of light emitted? If we invent Hazo's Illuminator: Monstrously Bright, Ohsagewhy and put it up to an LR, would it then emit light of the same blinding quality? (NB: 'yes, there is some upper bound - we'll...forums.sufficientvelocity.com

After further thought, this is fantastic for third parties to verify a spy as being one of ours. They have a HOWS set to some color they don't know, they can be a civilian even, and present it to a ninja with the corresponding relay seal - the ninja need not be informed in advance what color...forums.sufficientvelocity.com
What are the rules on omakes, and why was the thread not flooded with them the moment the soggoth was available for public contact?
There's no real rules on omakes. They're just one of the things that QMs really like to see and thus tend to give bonus XP for. As for why we don't see them all that often:What are the rules on omakes, and why was the thread not flooded with them the moment the soggoth was available for public contact?
I have a mountain of omake ideas. I've affectionately called it the "omake pile" for easy searching reference.What are the rules on omakes, and why was the thread not flooded with them the moment the soggoth was available for public contact?
In case @Inferno Vulpix 's very nice post wasn't clear. Visible spectrum light detecting is too difficult to be practical outside of an underground tunnel, (because the visible spectrum is noisy) and those are difficult to maintain, and only useful in niche situations.I link-walked back into the archives and came across an interesting thread that got dropped: a while back, y'all created the Light Relay seal with the intention of using it to set up long-distance communication.

Make the compound border and streets the lines of a massive seal that, once filled with the blood of our civilian sacrifices, will power up into a massive shaped explosion aimed directly at the Hagoromo compound.What would y'all like the design of the estate to modeled after, since the Uchiha Layout carries unwanted implications?
What was it Oneiros said? "Don't threaten me with a good time?" Yeah, thatMake the compound border and streets the lines of a massive seal that, once filled with the blood of our civilian sacrifices, will power up into a massive shaped explosion aimed directly at the Hagoromo compound.
