Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

[X] Leave the room, this isn’t your problem. You’ll just have to hold the meeting in another room, that’s easy enough to arrange for.
Let's leave the crazies alone.
[X] Attempt to charm her into aiding you (and being your friend as well too).
[X] Chat about the Akogawa sisters. (Can be selected twice.)
[X] Focus efforts on convincing/charming her. (Requires ‘Attempt to convince’ or ‘Attempt to charm’. Can be selected twice.)
[X] A group of Diviners.
[X] Yes. How much of your stockpiled pocket money?
---[X] Break your piggybank open (100%).
[X] Satsuki arranged a field trip under the idea that you need a break from all the thinking you've been doing over the Alflami matter.
[X] Ask your parents to let you handle this matter personally.
---[X] If she wants more to do then let's give it to her. If she shares our workload it will increase her understanding and might make her a bit less of a pain in the neck.
It's time for us to take a more active role in the clan...
[X] I think that you can only measure success by how much not only you, but the people who you're helping or is helping gains.
[X] Aria's boredom reaches its peak... and then some. (Aria will be automatically present.)
[X] Aria Alflami
[X] The Kitsune Fox sisters
[X] “I think it depends as much on you as it does the case in question.”
[X] The Kentaine Family
[X] The ‘do not ask certain questions for everyone’s own good’ sort of high standing.
Adyen's guess is probably as good as any I could make (though my inner lawyer rebels at the lack of evidence.)
[X] He's doing it intentionally, he must have something against...
---[X] Far Eastern culture as a whole.
Though then, why is the one chosen for this task?
[X] Some other reason...
I accept your reasoning. I withdraw my objection.
[X] Ask the envoy of the Order of the Scarlet Knights to start from the top like your Mother said to. Then you’ll consider it.
-[X] Mother must have a reason for why she wants them to tell the entire story. You're the host here, so be polite as...
A) And again I point out that I'm trying to defuse a tense situation. That offer won't go anywhere if we don't foul it up. Everything can be explained later and every secret can be found.
B) Let me repeat myself yet again just to make it an even umpteen: this is not the time to press matters...
A) It's called basic tact and politeness not to mention being a good host. We gain nothing if the deal fails because we anger the envoy to the point he can't think straight. Again, I point out that whatever you're convinced the envoy is trying to hide can be found after we've let tensions defuse...
Adyen:
A) Unless you trust the envoy to have the patience of a saint there is no reason to force him to go through a pre-prepared spiel right when things are tense. If the summary is insufficient we can ask for further details.
B) Or, instead of an elaborate conspiracy theory, you could...
If her reason is so compelling then:
(A) there is no reason to believe we can't hear it after hearing the summary and
(B) there is no reason to antagonize our guest after he has clearly been overworked.
Adyen (and Robot) those are my reasons for a more diplomatic approach. Can you address them?
[X] [Ask] the envoy of the Order of the Scarlet Knights give you the simple schematical breakdown of their wants, and the benefits and complications of it all.
"Mother, I understand why you want me to have the full explanation but if Father had you repeat everything you said to me and the staff...
Working as a Knight is concentrating our base as it focuses us on combat much like our Samurai training. In order to successfully run a state we need more than combat skill, we need broader experiences with other fields so we are well-rounded enough to assume our place in the world. Besides I...
Basically, at first it's your standard grading system (C,B,A) which represent relatively standard degrees of competence. After that you have grades like (S, EX, L) which represent almost supernatural levels of quality. Also, seeing as though we're talking, why are you voting for the Knight envoy?
[X] Something about Anaklusmos and Mari looking forward to an arranged trip they put together… with you. Of course, they never said anything about it being just you three…. (Anaklusmos and Mari will automatically be present. You can bring 2 other people.)
[X] Ito Kenta
[X] Yuna Atsuki
Time for...
Rein just pointed that out to me. I've altered the names to be something more medieval while being a bit less generic than horizon. I kept Percival in the revised names as it does fit with the background. Sorry for the mess-up there are too many factors so to keep straight for a new guy.
