I'm finishing writeups with some folks for Ice fishing and Animal training, and doing some plans for a possible horse-related thing.

Ice fishing and Animal training could be D2 LA and D4 EA if there are no other plans for those. Or one or both of them could be moved to later days. Could you add those for now, please?

Horse racing will probably be left for a later say as it's stil a wip.

Also if any of the other organisers for ice fishing or animal training want to chip in about the timeslots, please do! Just trying to warrant 'something' so they may happen

Edit: I guess one or both of them could be moved to EM although that's a bit odder

[Wu Zhe]

There is another event at the same time as the brunch? We might have to change the time to avoid conflict

[Chai Kotsume]

Oh, if the brunch and animal training would both be day 4 EA we could shift animal handling to EM or to day6/7/8 so you keep that brunch happening

[Doji Hikaru]

Due to weather, Bonsai cannot be at the listed time. Please move it to D2 LA if that's still available.

It was actually originally scheduled as D4 LM, but there seems to be another event then.

[Bayushi Kogi]

Hey all, scheduling seems complicated enough that instead of relying on one or more players to curate event times, I thought it might be easier to have an unofficial google doc everyone can edit:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

I hope this is helpful? I've set it up so the GM events, column labels, etc. can't be accidentally changed, but anybody can add/move event listings.

Oh my this is brilliant! Thanks for this! Let's try and keep this updated, folks! <3

[Makime Ayano]

Probably will shift the Battle event to not compete with another event in the same time frame....

[Makime Ayano]

Let's shift Battle to D7: Late Afternoon

[Bayushi Kogi]

Let's shift Battle to D7: Late Afternoon

Swap it in the google sheet if you’re able?

[Chai Kotsume]

I've added Ice Fishing on D4 EM (yay early morning fishing!), "How to train your human" (i.e. Animal Training event) on D6 EM (pending confirmation from the other organisers, but I wanted to secure a slot for it), and a possible horse race organised by the Ki-rin on D7 LM.

If any conflicting events come up I'd suggest giving other players a nudge to see if we can organise around the conflicts

[Jiyo Sora]

Or, depending on who's hosting, embrace the conflicts.

[Ongaku Masanori]

If there is space on D7 and I'm able to be active, I may add a sage event for helping with the Imperial Records, but that's a bunch of 'ifs'.

[Chai Kotsume]

I'll suggest checking the Google Docs sheet Kogi set up

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0

For D7 apparently EM and EE have nothing planned, unless someone's planned something and not added it there.

Also note Jiyo Ayumu has a "Test of Knowledge" approved, might be worth checking with the player if what you have in mind is something different to keep things varied!

[Nozomi]

Alright. I have finally had some serious thoughts on a possible event. Less intended as a courtly event in the formal sense, and more of an excuse to get her daughter to sit still for one flipping moment and train her better in patience, Nozomi suggests a possible event for D7.

The Quiet Game.

I am thinking of either Late Afternoon Day 6, or Late Morning Day 7.

The purpose of this 'test' is to demonstrate the values and merits of meditation in general, not only in the replenishing of void but also in helping to keep decorum in all things. It's a field of study that Nozomi herself does not yet excel at, but it has also been a field she has been studying for many years out of necessity with her own roiling thoughts.

Regarding awards for it, I am thinking that when she gets a response to it, Nozomi would flippantly recommend some form of calligraphy or the like. She may attempt to solicit the assistance of others in giving a gift to one who demonstrates well the merits, or may offer personal jiujutsu (or staves if one is willing) lessons to anyone who participates.

Rolls would probably be Meditation, Athletics (to reflect endurance).

Any initial thoughts?

[Bayushi Kogi]

Something something willpower, if memories of being a little too good at the Quiet Game as a small person are to be relied on...

But is it really the Quiet Game if topping a certain points threshold doesn't win the class (uhh, I mean, the court) a pizza party?

HAHAHA, no pizza parties today sadly. And yes. I'm thinking Willpower is a very good roll, Void and Stamina. My thought was perhaps Etiquette/Meditation, Lore-Religion/Meditation and Athletics/Meditation as the options. If one is actually trained in Meditation, it's easier to Meditate, but each of those three could reflect the sort of Social, Spiritual and Stamina-centered aspects of what's going on

[Hantei Genji]

Does Meditation/Perception count when one is counting the minutes?

[Jiyo Sora]

Sora's brood may well be brought along

[Nozomi]

Does Meditation/Perception count when one is counting the minutes?

Hahah, hmmm... let me think on this. Ok, it's sounding like this is getting traction. I'm going to put in for it tonight officially and work out the kinks of the system and rewards with Baku or Canary. Excellent.
