Calling metagame on this thread, more specifically on Yui.
It is my understanding that characters must act according to their IC knowledge, as well as keep a consistent attitude and personality within reason.
Yui has stated in character time and time again that she was going to move into Iwagakure and defend it.
She made her IC intentions clear and went as far as to call the Society "scum".
The only reason for this contact to happen would be if Yui was afraid of an attack by Konoha, but her IC actions and words indicate the
exact opposite: Yui wrote:This grows quite tiresome, you should just give up already, attack Iwa a free nation was a huge error in your thinking and you likely made another nation besides us your enemy. I would call you a fool for even thinking it wise to attack here"
(...)
"That is cleaver Nyg but one problem I am not the weak girl you remember, I have become strong and my strength will be used to crush Konoha into nothingness. This attack was your last straw, do not worry I will make sure your village is ended quickly as to not make the people suffer, you have made an enemy you should not have."
(...)
I will find you Nyg and you will not enjoy the pain I inflict, how DARE YOU attack my home I was exiled and allowed to live where I pleased and Iwa was released from Konoha. Now you claim it's your land, NO YOU SCUM, it is free and its people will not tolerate your treachery any longer, you will soon learn we have STRONG allies you don't want to anger."
(...)
"DO NOT FALTER, THESE SCUM WHAT TO ENSLAVE YOU, THEY WISH TO TORTURE YOU AND WISH TO DO HORRIBLE THINGS TO YOUR FAMILY'S, TRUST ME I KNOW. They kill family, they kill their Hokage, they kill anyone in their way they are a nation of criminals and monsters, we will defend this area, stand your ground, fight the tyranny of these overlords let us show them the true might of IWA."
(...)
"Oh, but Yui might be scared of Akihiro or the rest of Konoha and that justifies running from Iwa"
Nope:
A very good offer, but I need to know one thing if Konoha becomes a threat do I have permission to obliterate those traitors and conniving pieces of crap. They have time and time again screwed over my husband and myself, we almost died because of them and had to deal with the Society scum, everything was because of them. I also ask permission if Aki ever shows his face near our territory to make him in our bingo book as a kill on sight, do not trust that snake and traitor. If you can agree to these conditions as well as allowing my husband, daughter and our servant to move here then we can come to an agreement."
She went as far as to create an actual plan to defend Iwagakure against Konoha, which the Tsuchikage agreed to:
"My next idea you will love Konoha knows this village location and I am sure others know of it, so we will do something no village has ever done before. We have many strong Earth users, we will build a complete replica of the village, and inside of it, we will have the Kotosura plan set up traps. Of course, these explosions will be no joke and they would never expect us to make a complete village replicate. We will then terraform the entire land in this area, causing the village to appear not there anymore, in reality, the replica will be where the village was standing, with a new location for the village being unknown to them. I know this sounds like a massive feat, but I know the will of the people of Iwa, we have suffered for so long we will decide them, we, of course, will need volunteers to live in the village after all an empty village will not be convincing."
In addition, she ICly threatened Masaru with a kill if he ever harmed Iwagakure:
"I have come here for several reasons, if you are just using the village for labor or monetary gain you won't survive our meeting. I believe you know how powerful I am and I am the last person you want as an enemy. I will give you a chance to explain if you plan to harm the village or change it. "
This is an
immense contradiction with her current attitude:
Yui wrote:"I sure hope this goes well, we cannot stay in this nation, once this battle is won Konoha will come with the most rage and we do not have forces that can stop them. I want to rely on Kumo but I cannot guarantee they make a move as if they do choose to side with Iwa against Konoha it sparks the flames of war, and I am unsure the nation is ready to put its foot down so hard. Nozomi isn't restricted by such things meaning she doesn't care who she angers or what nations she picks fights with, she will do as she wishes to change the world."
Wait, what? Suddenly Yui is afraid of an attack on Iwagakure no Sato? After Iwagakure
WON the war thread against Konoha? After threatening the Hokage himself? Afte creating a plan to defend the village from an eventual Konoha attack? After making it clear that she would fight to protect this village and its people?
She intentionally provokes Nyguyen and only now becomes afraid of an attack?
Some of the first quotes were written
before and some after the contradictory one.
That's a full 180º, a kind of attitude that is absolutely not justified by IC reasoning or facts which leaves me to conclude that this can only be motivated by OOC reasons. Thus, metagaming.
Personally I think this is a line we shouldn't allow crossing. Especially because Yui made it clear IC that she wanted to help Iwagakure and the Tsuchikage allowed her access to exclusive jutsus for this reason. Wanting to run away now when there is no IC motivation or justification to do so is, in my opinion, a dick move.
As for Yui's sudden call for Nozomi, here's
Yui quotes on the Society:
Yui wrote:"You accuse the society of being true evil and I agree, yet you do the exact tactics they have used, it makes you absolute scum, letting you live of course but unharmed no fucki9ng chance in hell."
Yui to Shimiko:
Until we meet again, I hope you know I do not consider you an enemy but a friend and ally."
Wait, so Shimiko is a friend and ally, but she's calling for help from Shimiko's greatest enemy and rival?
Yui on Menza and anyone who is part of the Society:
I want that man and Society completely and utterly destroyed and will kill anyone that steps in my way. I don't care if you have a friend in it or a family member if they are part of the Society I will strike them down without mercy."
Yui telling Shimiko to be wary of Kirigakure because they worked with the Society:
"You should be very wary of trusting Kiri two of their Kages worked with the Society but if they have a new Kage give them a chance and a warning. If they show any hint at supporting the Society they will be turned to ash, "
And now you're telling me Yui is leaving Iwagakure for the Society as seems implied on her post? Huh..wat.
I now leave this matter in staff hands, with a final note that I believe if this is allowed it sets a very poor standard for what we consider metagame on this site.
