Oh no, it's perfectly fine. I've been super busy myself. :P<br/><br/>If you have any questions OOC, feel free. You might be at a bit of a disadvantage, since I've been talking to Shade and Latooni a bit on AIM.<br/><br/>Here's our chat log. It's a bit of a mess, and I'm not sure how much is relevant but maybe it'll help.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Dec 4, 2016 6:37 PM Latooni<br/>Oh goody, written exam<br/>Dec 4, 2016 6:41 PM Latooni<br/>Yeah wow, those are rough questions. Even Azuki only has a +13 :3<br/>Dec 4, 2016 7:03 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>I hope the trivia matches the DC. :P<br/>Dec 4, 2016 7:03 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>I wrote it awhile ago.<br/>Dec 4, 2016 7:03 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>But, you know, it's not so simple as just rolling a die. ^_^<br/>Dec 4, 2016 7:05 PM Shade<br/>Is it as simple as just leaving the test blank and not getting caught cheating?<br/>Dec 4, 2016 7:06 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Not this time. ^_^<br/>Dec 4, 2016 7:06 PM Latooni<br/>I'm considering having Azuki literally just quietly ask for the answers. At the very least she's gonna ask if there's punishment for cheating since they didn't specify much in the way of rules.<br/>Dec 4, 2016 7:07 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>It's also the first time all three PCs are in the room together. :D<br/>9:15 PM Shade<br/>How to get thrown out of the Chuunin exams: ask your proctor if they know any of the answers, and to tell you if they do.<br/>9:16 PM Latooni<br/>That's one of many possible questions I'm trying to decide on asking :x<br/>9:17 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>https://youtu.be/xTa_wohSEsc<br/>9:17 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>What Sarada does to students that cheat?<br/>9:17 PM Shade<br/>...to be fair, they never even said what would happen if all hte grades were zero.<br/>9:17 PM Shade<br/>Because, say, a sneaky git destroyed all of the tests<br/>9:18 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>More accurately...<br/><br/>Share this<br/>9:18 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>That is true! The score requirement is based on the grades of ALL the genin...<br/>9:18 PM Shade<br/>Admittedly, if you could STEAL the tests from the proctors<br/>9:18 PM Shade<br/>Without them stopping you<br/>9:18 PM Shade<br/>You deserve to advance, one way or another<br/>9:19 PM Shade<br/>Hey, uh, I'm cashing in some of the meta gaming.  I don't speak that crazy Romaji shit, so which of the questions is related to Sand?  Other than the Puppet one, which is probably related to Sand?<br/>9:20 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>The puppet and the kanji on the Jinchurriki's palms, if I recall<br/>9:20 PM Shade<br/>Because +16 total mod is like a 30% chance to guess.<br/>9:20 PM Shade<br/>And I figure, eh, what could go wrong?<br/>9:20 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>https://youtu.be/DE6dj1z7QR4?t=4m36s<br/>9:20 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>"Lock on."<br/>9:22 PM Shade<br/>Coincidentally<br/>9:22 PM Shade<br/>I don't know any of the answers to these qeustions, and beyond that, I'm probably not doing any more metagaming<br/>9:23 PM Shade<br/>I'm lazy and shit.<br/>9:23 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Using OOC knowledge is expressly forbidden anyways. :P<br/>9:24 PM Shade<br/>Like I said.<br/>9:24 PM Shade<br/>But it wouldn't be OOC knowledge for Yuki to ponder the questions that are 'closest to home' first, would it?<br/>9:25 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>The answers are findable on Narutopedia. That's where I pulled them from. ;) But while just saying that your character knows the information is verbotten, there ARE other ways to obtain the knowledge.<br/>9:25 PM Latooni<br/>Wow, two overwatch updates in one day. Weird.<br/>9:25 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Yeah, he would know enough to figure out that two of the questions pertain to his village specifically.<br/>9:26 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>And of course you'll have people like Nara Naomi with huge intelligence scores.. out of 300+ genin, statistically 15 of them got a natural 20 on at least one question. :P<br/>9:26 PM Latooni<br/>I think I'm gonna roll up a bunch of answers first to see what she'd know for sure, not know for sure, and be torn on then figure out cheating. I really want her to hear what questions other people ask the nearby proctor before she starts doing anything tricksy. :x<br/>9:26 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Or rather, each question has had 15+ genin answer it correctly.<br/>9:26 PM Shade<br/>Because, I figure rolling on the ones where you'd need a 18-20 and a 6-4 on an action point to succeed is both a waste and stupid.<br/>9:27 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Yep. No need to spend an action point on a DC 30 when there's DC 15s and 20s and such that could just as easily get you the answers..<br/>9:27 PM Shade<br/>But rolling with a +16 turns that into an 8-13 with an action point~ that's less hopeless.<br/>9:27 PM Latooni<br/>Do I even need to roll on the Uzumaki question, considering Azuki's stalking Himawari? &gt;.&gt;<br/>9:28 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Ehhhh, which one is that? The nickname?<br/>9:28 PM Latooni<br/>Yeah.<br/>9:28 PM Shade<br/>What a terrible stalker if she doesn't figure that one out on her own~<br/>9:28 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Ah, I'd say so. It's trivia about a village that was destroyed like.. 70 years prior.<br/>9:29 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Less the clan and more the village of Uzushiogakure itself.<br/>9:29 PM Latooni<br/>Eh, I figured the Uzumaki family would have looked into that, and Azuki's shameless attempts to get along with Himawari would lead to talking about stuff like "Oh your dad had a clan too? With it's own village? Tell me everything while I stare at your boobs. I MEAN!"<br/>9:29 PM Latooni<br/>But that works<br/>9:30 PM Latooni<br/>Time to roll to see if Azuki knows anything without having to cheat!<br/>9:30 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>The Uzumaki family was pretty much just Naruto in Konoha... and that boy ain't much of a history buff. :P<br/>9:30 PM Shade<br/>Well, even if he was, not like anyone woudl tell him<br/>9:31 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>I doubt even Himawari would know the answer right out.<br/>9:32 PM Latooni<br/>I'm off to a poor start so far. lol<br/>9:32 PM Latooni<br/>&gt;Natural 20<br/>9:32 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>The questions are supposed to be super obscure. Even Makoto would have to roll for the puppet question, considering that it's like.. historical knowledge. The puppets themselves presumably never resurfaced after Chiyo used them against Sasori.<br/>9:32 PM Latooni<br/>&gt;It's on one of the Konoha questions<br/>9:32 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>XD<br/>9:32 PM Latooni<br/>*Throws hands up in the air*<br/>9:32 PM Shade<br/>&gt;roll a 29 on Question 5<br/>9:33 PM Shade<br/>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRqxc8ewnC4<br/><br/>Share this<br/>9:33 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Ouch, too bad Yuki failed all his research days... &lt;_&lt;<br/>9:34 PM Shade<br/>I blame the fact that research was a skill no one would take anyway<br/>9:34 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Also, I hope someone realizes that there are more than seven answers for #4. XD<br/>9:34 PM Latooni<br/>*Snicker*<br/>9:35 PM Latooni<br/>I know right?<br/>9:35 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Wasn't Research combined with Ninja Lore and other, more useful skills? :P<br/>9:35 PM Shade<br/>I believe it was combined with INvestigate<br/>9:35 PM Latooni<br/>Azuki knows exactly ONE, and that's Zabuza, if only because Naruto probably likes to tell the story of the AMAZING MANLY ZABUZA AND HIS PERFECT FRIEND HAKU around christmas time<br/>9:36 PM Latooni<br/>I sadly focused more on investigating other teams<br/>9:36 PM Inerrant Lust<br/>Most people would probably also answer Chojiro, possibly the current Mizukage..<br/>9:36 PM Latooni<br/>And got sidetracked a lot by boobs, and ambushes, and my own team being punks.<br/>9:36 PM Shade<br/>I had a lot of skills to buy with a tough hero's skill points<br/>9:36 PM Shade<br/>Blow question 10 out of the water, at least<br/>9:37 PM Latooni<br/>Good news, Azuki actually knows THREE questions! Got damn close on two others as well.<br/>9:37 PM Shade<br/>And Yuki knows 1!  And is confident enough to write down the wrong answer for another one!<br/>9:37 PM Latooni<br/>7. is a 25 and 9 is a 29. ITS ON THE TIP OF HER TONGUE!<br/>59 mins ago Latooni<br/>None of my rolls were lower than a 15 at least.<br/>59 mins ago Shade<br/>To be fair, since it's graded on a curve...really, one doesn't have to do well they just have to not get too much misinformation from people who did do well...<br/>59 mins ago Latooni<br/>Indeed.<br/>58 mins ago Shade<br/>And one answer puts us ahead of whoever counts as Naruto in this room.<br/>58 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Ah, I guess, if it's a question that requires multiple answers like 1 and 2... you CAN say you've got partial credit. Except all questions are pass/fail. :P<br/>58 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Also, if one team mate fails.. the whole team fails. :P<br/>58 mins ago Shade<br/>...I guess that merist another question<br/>58 mins ago Shade<br/>What happens if someone doesn't turn in a paper?<br/>57 mins ago Shade<br/>...not something Yuki would ask.  H ewouldn't think of taking out other testtakers...<br/>57 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>You know, you could ask the proctors these questions in game. But I would say they fail. :P<br/>57 mins ago Shade<br/>It's not something Yuki would ask, though.<br/>57 mins ago Shade<br/>And it's not something Yuki would do, because...well, he wants to face the best.<br/>56 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>If only everyone was so virtuous. :o<br/>56 mins ago Shade<br/>You could call it arrogance, admittedly.<br/>56 mins ago Shade<br/>The dark partner of every virtue, of course, is wanting to be praised for it.   <br/>54 mins ago Shade<br/>Also, in theory, the point of the Chuunin exams is to find the best candidate, so Yuki would gladly read off the answers and let everyone too dumb to just write them fail<br/>53 mins ago Shade<br/>He doesn't KNOW all the right answers, but I mean<br/>51 mins ago Shade<br/>OH GOD.  DID WE GET PENCILS?<br/>51 mins ago Shade<br/>PENS ARE THE NEMESIS OF GOOD TEST TAKERS.<br/>51 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Err, yeah. Proctors also handed out pencils.<br/>50 mins ago Shade<br/>That would have been hilarious.  Part of the test being 'oh yeha, you gotta find something to write with'<br/>50 mins ago Latooni<br/>Damnit internet<br/>50 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Kitchy, but that would distract people.. :P The octopus summoner has their own ink! Everyone else just bleeds all over the paper.<br/>49 mins ago Shade<br/>The real test there was to write with your mind<br/>49 mins ago Shade<br/>Or I dunno<br/>49 mins ago Shade<br/>Just stab someone else to write with their blood<br/>47 mins ago Shade<br/>...crap, I should have read better.  The fact that it's Sarada changes everything.  She'd destroy Yuki for asking that question.  Or at least hit him with a tree at the start of the month training period if he made it that far.<br/>46 mins ago Shade<br/>Also I realized the question slowly morphed from something innocuous to partway flirting and partway being a tremendous jackass after I realized it was Sarada.<br/>46 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Nobody interracted with him, but the guy next to Azuki was talked about a few times, in part by Sarada.<br/>45 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kiri_(ninja)<br/>45 mins ago Shade<br/>Because telling a smart girl that these questions have nothing to do with ninja skill and asking her to tell everyone in the room the answers is probably not the best way to make friends...<br/>44 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Naming your child Kiri is like naming your child Indiana... (except that Henry Jones didn't call him that, it was the dog's name.)<br/>43 mins ago Latooni<br/>Hrm, do I have any jutsu that help with heightening senses/eavesdropping?<br/>42 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Sneks?<br/>42 mins ago Latooni<br/>Snakes are so obvious, and she doesn't know if it's safe to blatently summon shit yet. Stupid chakra smoke.<br/>42 mins ago Latooni<br/>I'm checking if I have discrete stuff first<br/>41 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>If I recall, not all summoning techniques have big smoke poofs.<br/>41 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/><br/>Share this<br/>41 mins ago Shade<br/>When you specced for combat and double jumping but it's a quiz show segment<br/>41 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Hey, nobody's explicity said you CAN'T murder eachother..<br/>41 mins ago Latooni<br/>Oh shit, you're right<br/>40 mins ago Latooni<br/>I forgot my PRIMARY FUCKING JUTSU is totally discrete<br/>40 mins ago Latooni<br/>Just gotta put an arm under the table<br/>39 mins ago Shade<br/>...crap that solution's too dumb to work.<br/>38 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>It's a little different than the exam in the manga. The proctors ARE there to answer questions. :P<br/>38 mins ago Latooni<br/>It would be hilarious if the various mist-nin tried to quietly throw down Kirigakure no Jutsu, and do the tests blind<br/>37 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Well, that would help the Kiri nin.. XD<br/>37 mins ago Shade<br/>That produces mist,r ight?<br/>37 mins ago Latooni<br/>I shouldn't be as proud as I am that I have a build that can use an A-rank kinjutsu :x<br/>37 mins ago Latooni<br/>Yeah<br/>37 mins ago Shade<br/>Yuki's a wind specialist<br/>36 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>It also doesn't guarantee that their team would pass, either..<br/>36 mins ago Shade<br/>If the gloves come off, Yuki can just banish mist with wind blasts.<br/>35 mins ago Shade<br/>I'm admittedly used to distrusting figures in Academia, which includes test proctors<br/>35 mins ago Shade<br/>...ah....<br/>34 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>I suppose I can save you some time and say that they only answer yes and no questions.<br/>34 mins ago Latooni<br/>Threw down a post.<br/>34 mins ago Shade<br/>FUCK.  That does save me some time.  Thanks.<br/>33 mins ago Latooni<br/>Basically it's a big post of her going "Well fuck, I'm not 100% sure on 70% of the test, so I'm only gonna answer the three I DO know for sure. Then discretely get signal to Himawari, and eavesdrop. SPYING MODE GO!<br/>28 mins ago Shade<br/>Moderate sized post of Yuki asking the stupid question and a not so bad question.<br/>27 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Hey, between the two of you, a 50%!<br/>27 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Er.. 40%... 29. :P<br/>26 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>..Did you use action points?<br/>26 mins ago Shade<br/>Yes.<br/>26 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>I thought you were the one who said that would be a waste! :P<br/>26 mins ago Shade<br/>No<br/>26 mins ago Shade<br/>I said it'd be a waste<br/>26 mins ago Shade<br/>For the ones thatw eren't '+10 village related'<br/>26 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Ah<br/>25 mins ago Shade<br/>Missing by one is no shame except when it costs you your life.<br/>24 mins ago Latooni<br/>I was really tempted<br/>24 mins ago Latooni<br/>For the 29 I got on number 9<br/>24 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Now we just wait for Zaer. I hope he doesn't feel intimidated since he's not here to talk with us about the particulars. :o<br/>24 mins ago Latooni<br/>But I refrained<br/>24 mins ago Shade<br/>I realized something that's too meta<br/>23 mins ago Shade<br/>and therefore can't use it.  BEcause no one ever figures out the trick.<br/>23 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Eh? What trick? :P<br/>23 mins ago Shade<br/>WEll,<br/>23 mins ago Shade<br/>Nevermind.<br/>23 mins ago Shade<br/>I might be wrong<br/>22 mins ago Shade<br/>And there's nothing more embarrassing than giving the wrong answer to a question like that<br/>22 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Yuki's second question would be awesome if intelligence-gathering was strictly the point. It might make it too easy... :P<br/>21 mins ago Shade<br/>Eh.  I figure I'm only getting saved by luck or everyone agreeing to just fill otu the exams in the exact same fashion<br/>21 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>AND while I'm not counting down anything, there is an hour time limit.. With proctors answering questions only yes-or-no and with a limited number of them.. :P<br/>20 mins ago Latooni<br/>The first chunk of the written exam is plenty of time to just eavesdrop, and try to figure out who is a smartypants and who isn't based on questions asked and NOT asked. :3<br/>20 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Actually, maybe Sarada WILL answer his second question... If proctors can answer questions about the test material itself, but only yes-and-no.. there will a premium on proctor attention. Meaning many students will fail out simply because they wait the whole hour with their hand raised.. &lt;_&lt;<br/>19 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>The other thing I should note is that Azuki has already written down her answers. ;) Indirectly, that might make it harder for her and her team...<br/>18 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Assuming someone saw her before she flipped the page over or has some means of seeing through to the other side. &lt;_&lt;<br/>18 mins ago Latooni<br/>Depends on if people are gonna try and steal the paper out from under her grip while she gathers information.<br/>18 mins ago Latooni<br/>(She's explicitly giving HER Hyuuga a chance to peek)<br/>18 mins ago Latooni<br/>Konoha helps Konoha!<br/>17 mins ago Latooni<br/>And she's confident that the Nara, dangerous as she is, would know the value of assisting other Konoha teams to pass for sake of safety. God knows she'd be right on assuming Azuki wouldn't go lethal against Himawari's team &gt;.&gt;<br/>17 mins ago Shade<br/>And then, tragically, she's ran through by one of her fellow Konoha Genin in the second round.<br/>17 mins ago Latooni<br/>Goddamnit Kabuto<br/>16 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Not entirely implausible. :P<br/>16 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Or does the running through!<br/>16 mins ago Latooni<br/>BUt yeah, as long as she keeps one hand on her paper she can feel relatively safe in that it won't be nabbed, and leaves her one hand to rub a little blood on the bottom of the desk and activate a small Sennei Jashuu snake summoning. She has options for the 10 mins and onwards part of the test.<br/>14 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Time is a factor, but pretty much only for NPCs. :P Unless, I guess, you decide to do something REALLY time consuming like brute force your answers by asking proctors about every single question...<br/>14 mins ago Shade<br/>Well, with yes or no answers, anyone with a pulse would stop after their first or second question<br/>14 mins ago Shade<br/>I'm sorry, a pulse above the shoulders.<br/>14 mins ago Latooni<br/>Azuki needs to figure out what her team is doing, and eavesdrop for a bit, before she can really act. *Shrug*<br/>13 mins ago Shade<br/>Yuki...needs me to think of a good idea.<br/>13 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>I could imagine some will try throwing out Kanji at random for #6 until they get the right idea..<br/>12 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Hmmm.<br/>12 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Does Yuki know Himawari? :o<br/>12 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>They are distantly related, but how distant?<br/>10 mins ago Shade<br/>Uh, he'd be a cousin at most.  I don't remember if I ever said if he was born to the main family or branch family, since the idea of those two things kind of lost meaning aside from ensuring you don't breed too closely<br/>9 mins ago Shade<br/>HIs mother could have been older, for example...<br/>9 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>That was a question for Shade, but I think it's more relevant to Latooni. :o<br/>7 mins ago Latooni<br/>Azuki has no idea about Yuki. As far as she's concerned, the only people important around her target are Himawari's immediate family, team, and close friends. Probably wouldn't have heard anything about Yuki<br/>7 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Yep. She hasn't.<br/>7 mins ago Shade<br/>He did leave when he was young, after all.<br/>6 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>But, you know, everyone has a tally of someone else... and the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, eh?<br/>6 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>Admittedly, Azuki has probably the easiest tally.<br/>5 mins ago Inerrant Lust<br/>And Yuki the hardest.</div></div>
