Is this Ethical?

@71452K I would not consider it unethical, because that'd imply there are ethics involved when it comes to writing stories and, as my experience has shown, ethics are something best left out of writing all together. If ethics were involved we would not have stories about things that are taboo, i.e. holocaust, or something.

At the very least I'd consider it a bit strange and a bit rude, but whatever, it's not like that doesn't happen on a permanent basis on this website, and other websites.

However I also believe that if you're not posting something under your own recognizable name, you shouldn't post it at all because it removes credibility and so forth.

As the crew waited out their two minutes and decided not to make a choice at all, time would keep ticking, the ticking noise in the corner becoming louder by the second until it was unbearable. When it was about to shatter their eardrums, or at least it'd probably feel that way, the room suddenly went entirely quiet, just like when they had first entered the room. They could feel the blood surging in their ears, which would be a good indicator of just how quiet it was.

Although the time had passed, nothing seemed to happen. Did they make the right choice? Did they make the wrong choice? For another minute it would seem that nothing had happened at all - potentially making them doubt their decision. In truth this was the last part of their test - or the first round, at any rate - would they stand by their decision even in the face of potential failure?

But then finally the 'door' opened. The wall in front of them slid open, revealing two large holes where the original doors had been, indicating that they had potentially walked into a trap if they went in any of the rooms. At the bottom of the pits were long stone spikes - definitely not a pleasant fall. The voice reappeared in their head, seeming just as booming as before. “Congratulations. You have chosen a correct response,” it said, the wording inferring that there were multiple 'good' solutions. “Sometimes sacrifice is required, but in situations where it is known in advance that one will lose comrades, it is best to avoid the situation all together. This, too, is a balance. Remember that this is a test to test your capabilities as jonin - your teammates should come first. You are the sole responsible for them. Please proceed across the bridge to the next room.”

Then a new set of doors opened up in the distance, lining up with the stone 'bridge' that stood between the two large holes. This room was entirely black - yin and yang, it seemed - and not lit at all. When the team entered the room, the doors would shut again, leaving them in total darkness. Seemingly out of nowhere, the room would light up very dimly so, as chakra began manifesting itself. It was not the standard light blue hue that chakra was most of the times, but rather it was white and black, circling each other in the shape of the yin-yang symbol.

Suddenly, the white and black would split, and move closer to the floor, where it began taking the shape of two individuals. After they had completed forming, the room lit up completely revealing the black floor, ceiling and walls. In front of them were two 'clones' of the Hokage. The voice would no longer instruct them and instead, the scroll the team was after seemed to morph through the wall on the other side. The problem now, however, was getting there.

Both of the hokages clones too a fighting stance and, if the team got close, they would be charged by the hokages.

Yogensha focused her attention on the exam, and let the others pass words around her, only replying when she was spoken to. But, despite her apparent occupation with the exams, she was paying attention, listening closely. Something was off, but she didn't know these people well enough to figure out what it was. But, as was expected from Konohagakure, everyone soon revealed their hands with little care about the aftermath. For shinobi, they were awfully transparent. The strange non-shinobi suddenly revealed his position as a shinobi and, simultaneously, a clone, and the Tsuchikage reacted as if oblivious. “Yes,” she answered him without looking. “So easily.” Her eyes remained on the TV screens in front of her but, in her head, she was wondering just what type of ordeal she'd brought herself into with her presence.

It was then that the Hokage's assistant also appeared. She spoke a lot of words in a brief time, but it was only near the end that Yogensha gracefully turned around and looked upon her. “It's quite alright,” she said rather matter-of-factly. “I am surprised that I was invited at all, standing here among these kage when I am merely a leader of a small village.” She bowed slightly in response to the womans bow, according to the standards of how deep one should bow in accordance to the other persons' rank. Again, showing her mastery of etiquette. “As for your offer, it is much appreciated, but I must return to Amegakure soon. There are matters I wish to attend to, and there are questions I need to ponder in the seclusion of my personal shrine.” Truthfully, she wasn't lying - but she had only just understood the questions she needed answers to. She wondered, perhaps the Sage of the Six Paths could give her some form of .. information, some pattern of thought or a hint and sliver of information as to this strange person that had just vanished from the room. Just what was going on? What was her role?

Sakana held on to the scroll even after it began siphoning his chakra, not wanting to give up the prize so soon. As he landed, he sat down on one knee and raised one of his hands to his head to get a grip on the pain - he was burning up from the inside. But rather than think about pain, his mind was thinking of solutions. A million thoughts rushed through his head and, after a second, he thought he had the answer.

If the foreign chakra was entering his body, then he should be able to expel it by forcing some chakra out of his body from all tenketsu. At least, this was his thought pattern. Slowly he forced himself to get up and, with some struggle of pain, raised his hand to make the tiger seal. One of his eyes was squinted shut to alleviate some pain by giving him something to focus on. Then, he loudly proclaimed, “KAI!” as he expelled chakra, a light blue-ish hue of the chakra coming from his body as he expelled it from all tenketsu. Hopefully that did the trick.

“What the hell kind of test is this anyway,” he said to himself. “I thought we were testing leadership capabilities to be a jonin, not our capability to do.. whatever the fuck this is testing..”

@SirenofSilence You've got wolves making armour, I'm pretty sure the common logic of an alpha wolf doesn't really apply here.

Getting shot is a risk of the trade. Don't wanna get shot - don't go looting. I mean, even in the case of looking for food in other people's houses, you're entering someone elses house, looking for items they paid for and might need. I don't see any reason to excuse them and, if you willingly enter a house in an area where people own guns, perhaps you should stop and think 'is this worth dying for' though.

And that's under the assumption they're found by the owners or some vigilante passer by.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Sorry, two in a row. But this one's, like, special kinds of special. What do you, fair guildees, think -- is it racist to stop looting after a hurricane?

@mdk

I think the author would have a point if they didn't write it in such a massively retarded way.

It's true that blacks or minorities in general fall into a socio-economic branch of society that, frankly put, has less money, chances and.. well less anything else. As a result, they're going to be the ones doing the looting, not the white suburban family up the street who has money for days and, while the hurricane hit them too, they probably have a backup plan and some arrangements for food and such now.

Arguing against this is just stupid as these are the facts - statistically, minorities are more likely to have to loot, therefore they are statistically more likely to get caught. That's not white supremacy but simple logic. Skin color has very little to do with it other than being a factor that seems correlated to the socio economic status of people for historical reasons. It isn't and shouldn't be a get-out-of-jailcard for looting.

The problem also is that emergency breaks law and therefore, people looting for food or drink probably shouldn't be taken to jail.

I mean, it's a little concerning that your first thought is `let's loot` instead of `let's ask police for help` but I suppose if there's no other option, you're gonna loot. I expect everyone to loot if they need food and drink and there's no other way to obtain it.

But from what I've seen so far it's not food and drink that's being looted, lol. People who are looting anything other than essentials should be punished as burglars or as something even worse because imho it's despicable to loot someones store after they had to evacuate it for the hurricane.

Sakana looked at his team members as they spoke, carefully weighing the suggestions they put forwards. When Kamui sent his clone forwards to attempt the first suggestion Sakana had made, he made sure to watch closely, seeing the clone disappear into the fire. “It siphoned the chakra from the clone,” he mentioned, then looked towards Kamui. That was a waste of chakra. “Let's not waste any more of our chakra on it, then. I'll just go get it.”

Without much time for the others to argue with him, Sakana stepped backwards and made some distance, before running at the giant pillar of earth that Tsukiko had summoned on the fire. Nimbly, he jumped on top of the pillar, and was now much closer to the fiery scroll. Once there, he glanced at the scroll once before looking down at the ground. He formed handseals rapidly, bit his thumb to create some blood and then slammed down his fist. A moment later he was covered in a cloud of thick smoke, which slowly cleared out to reveal an axolotl, quite large in size, barely being able to sit on the platform. The axolotl shifted eerily from side to side while it found it's footing, before looking around slowly. “What's this?” he asked curiously. “The exam?”

Sakana didn't answer, but only nodded, gesturing towards the scroll that was on fire. “I've got my gloves on, I just want you to splash some water on my hands just in case. I don't think the fire is actually hot, but I'm not sure.”

The axolotl hummed in agreement, and moved it's head forwards slightly towards Sakana's hands, which were held up in a cup. After a second of molding chakra, the creature spewed forwards a large quantity of water from it's mouth, which soaked Sakana's hands entirely in water. “Hoy, there we go. Good luck now, huh?” it said, glancing towards the scroll itself while Sakana made himself ready. There was no confirmation from the black-eyed boy as he stepped back and prepared to jump for it.

Thud, thud, thud. His footsteps resonated in the entire room, as he jumped up and got some extra air by using the axolotl as a stepping stone. “So much for that will of fire,” he'd yell, his voice bouncing off the walls of the room. He sailed through the sky, straight at the scroll, and then grabbed it straight from the sky.

In the case that the fire would start coming up his arms which were entirely covered in his long gloves and despite the gloves and water, he'd quickly try to take it off and throw it aside, ensuring that he'd do whatever it took to get rid of the fire while holding on to the scroll.

If he managed to 'complete' the test and grab it without running into problems, he'd simply let himself fall onto the floor with a simple but effective landing, before looking over at his team and tossing the scroll towards Tsukiko. “That was a good idea,” he'd tell her, nodding at her in acknowledgement of her theory. Credit would be where the credit was due.

@Fabricant451 I mean I could've called him Jesus, but that would give the antifa side some sort of divine supremacy and I didn't want to go down that rabbithole, see?

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Ey, Juan, we're protesting against fascists today, you wanna come?

Buenito

Hell yeah! Let's beat up some cops that are definitely fascists because they're governmental workers that maintain the monopoly on violence that protects us from people beating us up without getting punished!

Juan

Now, just remember, when we start beating them and annoying the shit out of them to force a reaction from them, make sure that we outnumber them 5-to-1!

Buenito

Yeah, I know, it's in the antifa manual, followed by the line, shit, run away as hard as you can because we just wanna be annoying, we don't actually want to fight!

Juan

I feel that's an accurate representation of what went down before this happened, and none of you can tell me otherwise.
