    Don't worry, Vahista will give you pointers, and the second Amesh Spenta can serve as a prompter.

    Why balcony when we can go straight for the bedroom? Have Qilin And Cao'er on guard to intercept any meddling Ameshas while we have our chat (yeah, chat) and no poems needed.

    Fuck those exhibition matches, if we're going to participate, we'll be fighting all these guys anyway. Yunzi is more important.

    Well if they are in her bedroom they are probably female for the sake of decorum in which case we get a threesome or foursome... so bonus (though we should probably borrow some of Cao'er's tools). ;)

    Then she can command them to leave. They either follow her or they don't. She is their leader if she tells them to leave, they leave. Simple enough.

    You have been arguing in favour of fighting a bunch of no name Tibetans, at least this will be a real challenge for Jing. :lol:

    Again, absolutely no downside.

    On another note if we go in with a alias it should be something like Nameless or Shameless so put my vote down for Shameless if we need a name.

    Because they fared so well last time.

    No we won't. They are not participating.
    Unless you are saying that you are going to fight the prince after you are done with the tournament. Hmmm...

    Because Yunzi wants to give everyone the impression she prefers to be left alone with us. Right. :D

    NO U. The real challenge will be there. Just you wait until they bring out their own equivalent of Vairya/Zhang.

    Rob Halford is in another league. They can take the other two by surprise if the need arises, but we there to talk. I see no reason why Yunzi wouldn't afford us the courtesy, we are on good terms with her and the faction.

    Last I've heard, he was in the same tier with Vahista. Maybe a bit above him.
    And Cao'er didn't take him by surprise when she had the perfect chance.

    The courtesy of being alone with her in her bedroom? Hmmm... I don't see either. That stubborn girl! :lol:

    Look, all I'm saying is that 2C will give us a talk with Yunzi and a chance to help her out, and see what's what. Since we came here largely for her, I think we'd better capitalize on this chance amd increase our relationship with her.

    The Turfan Prince isn't really a priority for us (unless his eyes are on Yunzi, then he's dead), we'll fight the pugilists in the tournament, but we've been putting Yunzi low on our list of priorities for a while now. I think 2C is the way to go for Yunzi.

    I think Jing is dead set on Yunzi and you are overdramatizing. All of the choices except 2B mention her. Besides,
    Things like these are much more up Jing's alley. Surprise!

    So if I'm not mistaken with the numerous flops, the current leading options are:

    Join the tournament, register with another pseudonym,

    and

    Crash the exhibition match, use a pig's mask (tied with) use any other disguise that is not a pig's mask.

    If I flop to 2A2, it'll have a lead with 7 votes (after flops). So let's do it.

    A2A2 > A2C

    It's tied? Mmkay I'll flop to A2 Shameless then. It'll be a fun callback.

    What's the pseudonym people are going to be using for the tournament?

    This is a pseudonym for the tournament. We go for the exhibition matches under someone else's identity.

    I knew you would see the light and participate, Anabanana. :hug: :lol::lol::lol:

    Wait, why are we going for the exhibition under a pseudonym if we want to surprise Yunzi and have her come to us? Wouldn't A3 be better?

    We're going to talk to Yunzi, Amesha Spenta or no Amesha Spenta. She may not recognize us if we're disguised in a mask, and furthermore, going into an exhibition match against the Tufan Prince without being willing to show our own face sttrikes me as somewhat insulting. I mean, you're here for my sister, yet we can't see what you look like? And, I'd really like to catch up with her one-on-one before the tournament begins, since it seems to be winning.

    The problem with coming into the competition itself under a pseudonym means that we can't alert some of our friends that Xu Jing is around. Shun has had his eye on the Tufan Kingdoms for the past two years, he must have some agents, perhaps Gao Ying in the area. If the name "Xu Jing" is on the registration, that will be a signal to his men that we are around and that we can get access to certain places as a competitor that they can't. They will be able to approach us far easier this way. The Eight Sects won't like it, but the orthodox fighters that have decided to come to this competition suck; the real stiff competition is going to be from the locals.

    Flopping to BC > A3C, flopped my original vote.

    Nooooo I was talking about the exhibition match! Like we show up with a mask and call ourselves Shameless and shock the shit out of Yunzi! Down with entering the tournament, pseudonym or otherwise:decline:

    But yeah if we enter the actual tournament, let's perhaps go with a less identifiable name.

    Because we are not going to shove a person somewhere, take his identity, and then come out in the open with our very distinct one-eyed face so that everyone would understand what happened.

    No, it would not be better.

    You can't do that. You have to take an identity of another man.

    For fuck's sake, people! The exhibition matches are NOT about his sister.

    The exhibition match is for people who aren't participating in the tournament, I believe. And I think the Shameless thing is enough of an in-joke that Yunzi will recognize us.

    Oh good point.

    For the tournament choice, put me down as B > A3.

    Ehhh. If we have to stick to that sucker's identity the entire time, then what's the point of even having the pig mask thing or going under our own face? The choice just says "any mask will do". But if we can't do the Shameless thing than I'm flopping back to the Pig's Mask. treave ignore my previous posts, I'm sticking to A1 - pig's mask

    My issue here is this: what the fuck are we doing (i.e: we originally came here for Yunzi, Fire Cult Techs, see what we can do for Shun, and a chance to test ourselves) and why are we doing it (trolololing Yunzi at the exhibition helps us achieve what, exactly?)

    Because a pig's mask is as recognizeable as our own face to the Eight Sects?

    Because if your secondary vote wins, that would be A3A1. People will know Xu Jing is participating, and there will be a mysterious stranger with a Pig Mask.

    Nobody will suspect anything, I am sure.

    Going A3Ax is a terribly stupid idea. If you are going to troll with the false identity, do not confirm the identity of the troll beforehand.

    For the exhibition matches, the fighters scheduled are not part of the main tournament. None of the actual contestants will be fighting in the exhibition. None of the exhibition participants are wearing masks either, so the moment you show up on the stage, with or without one, you will evidently be very out of place.

    In Jing’s own opinion it would be better not to show up to an exhibition match illegally with the same identity he is going to use for the proper tournament tomorrow, if he can help it – he doesn’t know if the prince might throw a shitfit and ban him or something. Of course, he could be wrong about this and they might all like a good joke, in which case bully for them.

    Second part A, B and C are all variations of SURPRISE MAH HOLY MAIDEN, in their own way.

    Also, regarding your true identity and the Eight Sects, put yourself in their shoes and imagine how they would feel when they see the infamous disciple of the Southern Maniac is participating in a tournament that allows kills. :lol:
