[LP CYOA] 傳

D>B

 

B > D

Mind you, I'd consider approaching our new acquaintance and simply asking her for the invitation, instead of stealing it.

 

A > C come on lady need entertainment and we got quite silver tongue and mby we will get friends.

This made my day. Bookwise Mountain Man Shan, tell about hidden depth i wish young grasshopper will learn from that guy. Remind me of rider Alexander Great from fate.
I must say i underestimated what Tiger can dig up on his opponents in that short notice, should have flopped to A4 oh well was still hilarious.
Hm we were 14th? Not bad for kid facing more experienced people.
Btw what other participants thought about young tiger? Hope we did nice first impression, that warior-poet sounded like cool guy.

Edit. Shouldn't we have some idea how "Tanzhi Divine Skill" works seems like we were few times on reviving end of masters rage.

 

Re: impressions, nothing out of their expectations. A kid is a kid and the conditions of a deathmatch can't be equated to a battle royale. Nothing's really changed due to the average performance.

Finger flicking needs a high amount of inner strength and high perception to utilize accurately. Yao can flick flies out of the air with just air pressure and kill a man with pebbles. Your stats won't be suitable for learning it, but Cao'er could.

 

A>C
If this scholar's not even going to be at the event, it'd be a shame to waste the invitation. Let's seduce his wife.

 

That's what you get for fighting fair in the hectic melee of a battle royale.

B > C

Edit: And A voters, as interesting a read as it would be, sleeping with another man's wife would earn us a reputation hit and make us a mortal enemy of said man.

 

Honestly, I've given up worrying about our reputation in regards to orthodoxy. It seems like a bit of a lost cause right now. We should have gone from Orthodox to Unorthodoxy, not the other way around. Also, I don't know why you're voting for B if you're concerned about such things, whatever the Prefect would have us do, assuming he even accepts us, sounds like it would involve much shadier activity than a private tryst with a lovely old woman, and is much more likely to give us a bad reputation (I get the feeling in regards to reputation, it's working similarly to how it works in Age of Decadence)

 

D>A. Payback time, if she wants to fight dirty then, well, we can oblige. Jing does like the competitive types, after all.

I still hold my opinion on the prefect's mission:

So why would we put ourselves in that situation? Fuck the prefect I say, "persuading" the scholar's wife (our bro does want someone with more curves, no?) or removing from the girl's inventories is the proper way our growing character should go, spending time with women, not wrinkled old men.

 

D

I realize that it is probably a long shot, but damn if she doesn't deserve it.

 

Grow up, D voters. She's a girl. Don't let her bait us into a fight we'll lose. Again.

 

Oh come on, she's asking for it. And she didn't even see 1/10th of our talents, we still have a lot of aces to play.
Edit:

Only if he finds out.

 

With our luck she'd get pregnant and rat us out. That or she'll be 80 and...yuck...

 

The Harem King's love knows no bounds!

You know, that sounds like the beginning of an awesome succession crisis, once we become Khagan.
Edit: and she won't tell on us, that would be admitting her own infidelity. More like her husband will suddenly get "lucky."

 

Between A and D, only one is a named NPC. You know which one is romanceable. MAXIMUM HAREM TIME.

 

Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader comes to mind, where is the heir of Khagan answer me or die.
Sound like quite nice legend.

 

So 2C won? Ugh, come on Codex. Don't vote for unorthodox and then pussy out when it comes to actually making unorthodox choices. I didn't want to do the unorthodox path, but now that we started it I'm willing to stay consistent with those kinds of choices. I hope those of you who did vote for it can do the same.

B.

 

A for first choice, and if it proves unpopular I'm willing to go with C.

I'm not willing to mess with Qilin. What makes you guys think she leaves her valuables unguarded. She could've laid some poison traps or her pet snake to guard her invitation. You want to risk that, go ahead and try steal it from her.

Ditto bolded.

 

How the hell did BA4 not win, I thought it was quite far ahead?! Seriously, you people are the worst. "Oh let's be super cool and unorthodox BUT OH IN A TOTALLY UNORTHODOX FIGHT WHERE EVERYONE IS OUT FOR THEMSELVES LET'S TRUST OUR NEWEST FRIENDS"

Bleurgh.

 

Just because we're unorthodox, though, doesn't mean we have to be selfish, backstabbing, amoral, use poison and burn down villages for the lulz, a douche in other words, which I don't want to see Jing become.

Edit: I did completely derp on the last vote, though.

 

You mean, like poisoning a dinner banquet in Sumeria and slipping love potions to a king's daughters, that sort of douchebaggery?

 

In that case, why the heck didn't we go orthodox and train at Wudang back when we had the chance?? And now, Jing has to aspire to going to Wudang. Had the choice been made for Wudang in the first place, we wouldn't be in this situation. Not that I'm not enjoying myself doing all these amoral, backstabbing stuff. But kinda hard when no one else thinks that if we're gonna go unorthodox we might as well go full out.

Tigranes was right when he was arguing for 'tis easier to go from orthodox to unorthodox than vice-versa.

I got overly sentimental at the end and I had hoped that my BA4 would have won out in the end if AC did not. Damnit. I knew that BA4 would have been effective, I shouldn't have been swayed. Keep in mind that cheating in this competition, which was basically an open invitation to cheat anyways, is not really that immoral. Slightly dickish I guess, but the whole point here was to fuck with the rules.

I agree with Smashing Axe and Tigranes... partially. I don't think that the door has closed on gaining a good relationship with the orthodox sects by any means, but we shouldn't really worry too much about what they think either. We should look to make friends where we can, but we can't look at every situation as an "oh shit, if I do x, then the orthodox bros are going to think I'm an asshole and they won't ever invite me to their little clubhouse." We shouldn't think of making a good relationship with them as futile either, but first and foremost, we should be concerned with what we're doing, not what they think about us.

Oh, and going orthodox to unorthodox is much worse than the other way around. We'd be cast out as a traitor, that's far worse reputation wise than being an outcast from the beginning. The odd unorthodox guy might be trusted every now and then, but a guy who leaves his school to become an unorthodox martial artist who understands killing techniques will likely be hunted forever.

As for the choice here, I am still very reluctant to take part in the shady task that the prefect has. Robbing a girl who is probably far better at sneaking than we are is another bad idea. Considering the husband is gone, we should pay a visit to Jiang Du's house - he's a man of influence, so he might have guards, but we could have herbs to put some of the inhabitants there to sleep.

treave, do the Miao people have any techniques like the Yinglang Step, or is that something that we wouldn't know?

Flopped to E

 

D for the lulz and because it won't win anyway.

I don't see why you guys are assuming that just because we have started being unorthodox that we must keep down the path. Some of us never asked for this anyway.

 

You don't know what techniques they might have, but you do know that the Miao people are sedentary and live mainly in the southern parts of the country, concentrated in Guizhou. Given that the girl seems to be some sort of poison specialist making her way alone without a chaperone (as far as you know), you can infer for yourself what type of skills she may have.
