If we're still waiting for event threads to resolve after day-flip, how do we proceed?
I already gave you your courtship point, just have to fluff finish the exchange.
Also need to know re: glory and honor.

From Discord:

"Can I skip the event? Wil I be horribly punished if I do so?"

You can absolutely skip the event!

The punishment is this: the event rewards are tiered. If you show up, even if you roll 0 successes, and just flap your arms about for the length of the interview...you are still guaranteed to earn 1 Courtship point. Heck, maybe even more than 1 if the entire group does horribly. If you skip the event, you automatically get 0 courtship points for the event.

Well, also if you skip, that makes the overall pool smaller, which means fewer people will get top tier awards, so I don't know how much you wanna try to game things (Hmm, by my calculations, if I jump in, then A-ko will get 1 more courtship point, this must/must not happen!)

Because of the line in the event "We've done exhaustive research about your ancestry", does that mean adversities that have to do with a person knowing your background/history probably apply?

Hmm. Since Anxieties give strife (and void), timing for them in events can make a difference.

Just ping the anxiety at the beginning of the event? Or chose where in the roll sequence it goes?
Crab * Purifier * Big Lady * Face Paint * Excellent Bloodlines * Unwealthy * Friendly
Honor is the Ideal * Glory: Unremarkable Retainer * Status: 30 * CP: 16

Commonly worn: Clothes!; wakizashi with crab tsuba; small knife; scroll satchel--tied closed with blue & brown kumihimo braid and dangling apricot pit netsuke; elaborately woven ribbon tying up her hair; a jade necklace carved into a Badger head, carved wooden charms of crab and moth looped around a wrist with lavender ribbon.

Finally getting around to D2 and its events after a long day and I noticed I've got some questions before I can tackle it.

I may have some more, still learning the system and how things interact, but here goes:

1) (more setting/story-related!) Does the choice of approach and skills for the event affect how Pei pei (or others!) see us, and more specifically, could it have horrific consequences? Like... say, if the silly sparrow chooses Labour, for example, to talk about how a bunch of ancestors were really good at helping make sure food and fish never lacked at their villages despite droughts and bad harvests. Would that be an auto glory or honour ding or something like that?

And... would we know that? XD Because if we wouldn't, I can imagine going ahead and doing it regardless.

2) Also more specifically - would you say 'Talented Herbalist' might apply to talking about one's ancestors for, say, Survival, Medicine, Labor (re: crops maybe) and/or Aesthetics (re: gardening, say)?

I'll probably have more questions in the morning XD Thanks!
