[X] Priests and spirit speakers who work with the small gods of roads and hearths and wild places will be allowed to confer with each other, and arrange new rituals and methods to placate the spirits whose realms cross over the borders, as well as opening study into proper practice for travelers. (+1 PT, WS Favorability, -1 MoI Favorability)

[X] A full slate of the appropriate priests will be assembled here, to study the spirits in the borderlands and create a full slate of shared rituals which might be shared across the Embassy grounds and perhaps in the future, be applied to other border regions. -2 MoI favorability, -1 ES Favorability. +2 Pt Favorability, +1 WS Favorability)

3 is risky as hell, but also pretty cool, so I am voting for both right now

Sometimes, people don't know what they need, but you still have to help them.

We could have done shared and still been fine with favorability. 😔

While risky, we've toiled in the abyss of diplomacy for so long, and this seems worthy.

Look, we have tech sharing coming up, and have already committed to at least the middle option there, and we will probably want the most radical one. If we run full slate here than tech sharing is going to be dicey. We're getting very close to the end of the summit with no negative favorabilities and two favorabilities at 8+, which is such a huge win, let's not risk it by pushing slightly farther on the religion angle.

I'll vote to not press too far. Some cultural exchange could work well as a foundation. I'm not excited about opening the door to everything and trusting scholars to find the solution that'll work best for everyone in their debates while they play face games and try to gain recognition.

"But the Ministry is barely on board," Gan Guangli finished.

"We will need all of these to, at the minimum, not oppose us by the time the summit is complete," Cai Renxiang said. "While also accomplishing our central goal of creating a foreign quarter here, a binding ceasefire. If we cannot manage that much, this will have been for naught."

And their position, Cai Renxiang's position, would be cripplingly weakened. It would take years if not decades, merely to be taken seriously again.

"But even that is not enough," Ling Qi said. "Rather, achieving only the bare minimum can only be seen as a failure. We need to establish this 'foreign quarter' concept here, and foster further relations."

Given how important favorability reductions have proven to be, I'd rather not mess around by guaranteeing ourselves 0-1 with the MoI. Any of the factions -especially on our side- hovering around neutrality by the end means not meeting our goals.

[X] Completely separate spiritual ecosystems. Ech side will attend their own rituals and establish a spiritual boundary between our spaces. The meeting hall itself will be allowed some small shared rituals (+1 MoI Favorability. -1 PT, ES, and WS Favorability)

@yrsillar I'll put up 2 omake points for the MoI defrayal

Didn't we already vote on this last section? We chose baseline + Clan's rights

Dammit. Ya'll are right, we can't afford to fuck over the MoI too hard on this.

What do people think net MoI favorability at the end of the summit would mean? With the other groups, it's pretty easy to see what them liking it represents; it's how bought into the concept they are, usually because of how much they think they personally stand to gain from it. For the MoI it's harder to gauge. What a positive view of the project stands for. Does it just mean that they are somewhat trustworthy and willing to give a little bit of the benefit of the doubt? Does it mean that they also think that they can improve their station by being part of this? Is it just the numerical margin by which they decided not to shut everything down?

Hm. So we did. I guess my memories of a month ago are not so good.

What else is left in the summit then? We should still have, by my count, two votes left in this section? Assuming the three-favorability-modification-points-per-section rule still applies.
