From the looks of it, things are pretty much settled. Naturally, I'm going to try and defend myself, however to a certain point I have to agree with the others saying "strip her", or rather, me. If I do get stripped, like Kay said, I'm just going to go fishing for a snapping turtle, and if I get to keep it, I'll stay active to the best of my abilities.
Though it's a weak defense, it's really the only I have at this point:
In the following paragraph from Cmage/Rakudo, I'll have the lot notice that every single transaction he credits to my inactivity is all without my knowing, therefore I have logically no way of denying such things were I to be active. He wouldn't know, therefore I find these words to be less than meaning or useful.
Also Zen, the fact that I could enter negotiations with you for a trade proves her inactivity, remember that time(which may be on earlier pages) when we talked about trading Gobi for Sanbi? Well I took a poll in the clan halls, to which she didn't post/respond that we was still the jinchuuriki, I even asked Isaribi for his suggestion on the trade. I was even accepted challenged from both Gou and Bocchiere, though Bocc had started his fight with Kamui and Gou respectfully withdrew his challenge. I bet if I had taken those challenges and lost, then Rank pops up saying she was never inactive your argument would've been that I took the challenge therefor I had possession over the bijuu.
Yes, I'll admit, there was probably not one single time I had spent two consecutive days on SL, and my inactivity counter always said "Last On:" and the days would always be more than two. Despite having no proof of it, I'm sure someone could remember; every single week, sometimes one would be skipped, but rarely, I would make a "weekly cameo" in the Clan Halls. It was more than anything just to show I was alive. In the mean time, I would more or less sort through mail, talk to a few friends, fight in the zones, and train Dart and Yashiro, both of which can accredit my occasional activity, however small it was. That entire day I would spend on SL. There would be other days I just popped in to say hi. Yes, not much, but certainly enough to void these "two week" rule that was, according to Rares, never truly established, and therefore should be considered somewhat invalid.
Reasoning: The kage bearing the right/obligation to strip the inactive jinchuriki in spite of their will and solve the inactive jinchuriki issue was never implemented among the rules. It was discussed but not implemented. And as such, I find it unreasonable to act upon a law that did not exist at that time(or now). With Ranketsu returning back to activity, her case is no longer an issue as she is no longer an inactive jinchuriki.
I'll admit my activity was splotchy there the last month before my leave, I would be gone for a few days, come back for a few, day in day out, and if you're going to simply base a decision off of the possibility of me not living up to my word of being active, then should all Jinchuriki not be put into question? I don't think things such a speculation and guesses should rear their heads into a proper, professional discussion.
Now, as for these invisible challenges made by Gou? I talked to him. He never directly challenged me. He assumed, key word being assumed, that I did not have/was stripped of the Sanbi, just as everyone else had assumed such a thing, therefore he went to Rakudo, who went on his business, delegating things properly to his calculations. In retrospect, he did nothing wrong, and I was wrong to become haughty with him; all except assuming things. No one once came directly to me, nor even truly documented my "inactivity". All of the work done in my absence has been assumptions and backtalk. True, I cannot properly pull up evidence that says I wasn't inactive for 14 consecutive days without taking challenges/doing anything for that matter, but on the other end of that spectrum, not one person has any evidence that I haave been inactive that long and I have a fair hunch that not one person has seen that "Last On" counter above 13, perhaps, 12 days.
As for hearsay, I have both Yashiro and Dart, plus one person who's name I will think of when I see it, to account for my small-time activity.
Fairly, I can see many people having doubt and ultimately feeling that this defense certainly doesn't hold well. Therefore, no grudges will be held, nor will complaining ensue.
I think I have surmised my entire defense, and that is all I have to say.
P.S. All of this about me leaving and putting Rakudo in charge is being put in the simply most negative light possible. It's not far from the truth, however. To get that air cleared, yes, I did do that here and there, but it wasn't often, if not at all, and I only asked if he could look over things because I knew I would be gone for more than two days, but never more than four. Even then, I still dropped in. It wasn't a "drop all responsibilities on someone else to have fun", it was a "I'm going for a bit, could you make sure nothing happens?"
Quite childish how so many are trying so desperately to shine me in such a red light. Though I'm sure many's rebuttal would be "It's not that hard".
