Honestly, I hope Gan Guangli gets a similarly good fief. We should help him out with his development when the time comes.

This entire geographical region is pretty much a viscounty, we're just exploring the low level part of it right now. There's High Level Content gated behind Territorial Moosebart.
There's plenty of space in the region for Our Boi to find a spot of his own that he likes.

She is a logistical genius, though. She just also has retainers who know how to turn wilderness spirits into friends.
You see a problem, I see a feature.

What is not a good neighbor?
That said, I don't see much (we only have a couple Community-based insights), are you sure you aren't thinking about concepts?

What is not a good neighbor?
- A bad neighbor. This insight does not prevent us from recognizing those. This insight does not prevent us from politicking with one on semi-friendly terms anyway. This insight does not prevent us from choosing to be a bad neighbor.
- An ally, generally. Particularly, an ally of convenience, nominal ally, or nascent ally, is not known to be a good neighbor yet. Only long-term bosom allies are likely to be considered good neighbors.
- A subordinate or superior. That's a different set of interactions than Community.
- Family, mostly. That's yet a different set of interactions. As matriarch, ours are and will be also subordinates. For others, relations between branch clans will be as neighbors (good or bad) though.
The nice thing about choosing the Cai route is that everything within the province can be treated as based on superior/subordinate relations if needed.
Choosing non-conflicting insights is critical, though.

"High Danger" (per the original close fief vote) has indeed turned out to be an upside. It's not like we have enough project slots to do everything anyway.

I should get back to my diffchecker habits:
Fief (most recent update only)
Fief (includes the stuff that got partially updated between this update and the last)
I dont think its worth doing a proper diffchecker just for the MoSS upgrade, that can wait for the general art threadmark. So the differences:
Rhythm of Exchange has gone from G3 and 'scene' duration to G4 potency and 'passive'
Bastion's Melody has gone from G5 to G6 potency, increased the number of entities who can have their enivornmental traits negated/reduced from three to four* and the reduction of potency to cyan or greater effects is by 8 instead of by 5.
2. it being several days later means that we have an essential question that yrsillar has dodged on the discord:
Which of course just adds to the imagery of ling qi getting roasted by this court of daggers she's found herself in
Here's hoping we can learn more about Xia Lin's maybe-crush on a White Sky soldier so ling qi can use that for vengeance fodder XD
But also, don't worry ling qi, you aren't an aunt...you're a grandmother! Qiyi is the aunt in the scene
*note @yrsillar you actually wrote 'up to for entities' instead of 'up to four entities' in the update

Speaking of which, love this whole section, its wonderful and also ling qi reaping what she has sown in working to get CRX and her fellow retainers to be silly

As a side effect, Ling Qi is now fundamentally incapable of understanding why some people are into BDSM.

Effective actors with such ambitions do not risk hard-limiting themselves on whims of idealism. These kinds of sentiments are already common in our outlook and always being worked towards; some canned notion of neighbourly relations can only be detrimental to a literal spy who will need to get her hands dirty at times.

A bunch of people's middle name. It's a notable example of a name that is much less common as a personal name or surname, though a similar (but lesser) effect is seen for "old-fashioned" names.

I mean, actual BDSM is pretty mutual a lot of the time...

Because while the insight is pretty obvious, and at the end of the day you sorta need something along those lines to advance smoothly through White. Since there is only the Way at White, and all the little things that are obvious to humans have been discarded along the wayside.
Also how Ling Qi ends up defining "Good Neighbor" alongside a whole lot of things will be done as she advances, and she is Moon cultivator meaning she has a lot of flexibility for how she defines her concepts compared to most cultivators.

That makes sense as is would be doing MoSS except being the more powerful being in the interaction.

the wall is large though, and the empire claimed lots and lots of land. there will be ample space for GG to set his own fief.
the Ling are very likely to become a viscount clan in the short(in cultivator terms) future. like, she will likely reach indigo within a century at most, and she is a ducal retainer, plus will have a powerful fief with plenty of room to expand. it will be very easy and quite beneficial for the Cai to make LQ a viscount(or possibly, a marquis given Snowblossom sits on the very frontier).

I'm for it, Respect should be universal, at least at a certain level. Its literally the Golden Rule: Treat others how you want to be treated. A bit awkward in Xianxia land, but this only pertains to the treatment of literal Neighbors for now. Might change later, might be more defined or some such, but its fine for now. For instance, if we wanted Ling Qi to be a more wide-ranging and accepted Spirit/White, then we kind of need to be willing to promote something universal understandable and desirable. Like, for your average civilian, Ling Qi is quite possibly Terrifying. Hmmmm... Ideas..
