Don't be pessimistic guys. Sure we lost a few pluses, but we also gained a few from the buffs we did. Live and learn.

Figured this would happen, oh well

We missed out on all those epic fights, now we have to watch them on video.Cytokinesis said:
Ah well, I wonder who we'll see first?
Thinking about it somemore, specifcally we've learned that next time we need to practice integrating our buffs into one harmonious whole, and come up with a spell or ki technique designed to shield us from aura pressure in advance.
In general, I think we've learned the benefit of preparation, and asking advice. If we'd asked Lu-sensei's advice and told him our plans he could probably have told us what we needed to do to get the greatest benefit.

[X] Get out of the bed, slowly, and go looking for answers.
Because, really, few things are more embarrassing than getting out of bed and immediately falling over. And we took a pretty good hit to the head.

More like SB went chasing opportunities that weren't there and got our peepee smacked.ryuan said:
We did get some +'s, in the quest for more +'s. So it wasn't a complete loss, we gained more info and knowledge of what we can do.ryuan said:
And now we must Practice using all of the buffs without getting K.O'ed. See, new learning opportunities.
Honestly, from Judge's description every vote that didn't have Moderate Aura would have triggered a collapse. Most people voted Ki Senses + Sufficient Aura. The additional stuff just let us get a few more skill ups in magical disciplines, which isn't a bad thing.FerretShock said:
Mmmm, technically it wasn't 'using the buffs' that got us KO'd, it was not knowing when NOT to use the buffs that got us KO'd.
Technically, Sufficient Aura and no enhancements would have not triggered a collapse either.Cytokinesis said:
It wasn't the buffs. It was the ki sight and not upping our aura sufficiently.FerretShock said:
In fact, by Judge's statement the buffs actually prevented a bad consequence of increased traumatic memories.
I include Ki sight in 'the buffs' in that statement.Cytokinesis said:

No it was the low powered aura that did us in. I am just surprised that people wanted to go into this with a low aura considering we have had trouble with getting overwhelmed by another persons aura in the past.FerretShock said:
So what are the odds we ruined Lu sensei chances at winning out of concern for us?

That was perfect.
I don't think we have any, but more traditional meditation's fine with me.scope said:
...We're never going to get that goddamn + to Spiritual Prowess, are we?
Screw it, I vote we talk to Lu-sense, have him show us general capabilities, that's about the only shot we've got now.
[x] Call out. Briar and Cordy are already going to be worried.
-> Do not mention the full details of what happened, just that we apparently underestimated how much we'd need to raise our aura to last through the Masters fighting. Cordy and Briar will give us hell if we 'did something stupid again.' If it becomes incredibly obtuse to not admit it, admit it, but don't volunteer it in front of the girls.
