In the Earth quake part 2.

It lists that tactician can be used. Does this mean it adds+5 to the battle roll if that's what you make.

I assume not but no harm in asking.

Questions
Is it better to come to an answer quickly or to consider all of the options? [Battle/Willpower TN 25 or Meditation/Void TN 20]

Would Tactician apply to the battle side of this roll?

Re: Hidden Emperor

I see it's been ruled that the Weapon or Defense roll against Bokushi is considered an attack roll for techniques (but we can't utilize stances, which makes sense!), but I'm asking for clarification on how it will work with Akodo Bushi 1 and 2.
Rank 1: The Way of the Lion
You may either ignore the portion of an opponent's Armor TN derived from Armor, or gain a Free Raise when attacking. (You do not ignore Reduction from the Armor when choosing the first option.) Also, you gain a bonus of +1k0 to the total of all attack rolls on your first melee attack against an opponent in a skirmish, or against any opponent who has declared a Raise on an attack against you since your last turn. You add only a total of 1k0 for an enemy who Raises against you, no matter how many times they actually Raised.

Rank 2: Strength of Purity
During a skirmish you may add your Honor Rank to the total of any single roll during your Turn. You may not increase damage rolls in this fashion, nor can you do this while assuming the Center Stance.
1. Assuming the Monk isn't wearing Armor, do you then gain a Free Raise on Weapon skill roll against Bokushi?
2. Do I get +1k0 on the Attack Roll from Rank 1?
3. Does it count as a Skirmish for Rank 2?
3a. If yes, does that mean I can add Honor Rank to even the rolls to answer the questions, since those seem to be happening during the Skirmish?

Thank you (and I understand if not all of these questions will get a Yes). :)

So, I messed up in the Event. I thought my Earth was 3 because I forgot I changed it to 2. Should I reroll? I failed if that matters.

The time-goblins have been by with their pruning shears. They spoiled my quilt, stole several loaves of fresh olive bread, and left my shoes filled with pickles.

They threatened to return and do more mischief if I did not remind you to be careful about timestamps. Remember, beloveds, one thread per timeslot!

The ‘Mea Culpa’ post adjustment (about -5 TN) won’t count for today’s already published events, correct?

I am unsure of one point in the court scene / court action.

If I have spoken on a topic and am part of that topic's discussion, can I speak again to clarify a point, suggest consensus, etc? Is that appropriate/expected?

Or, no, only the facilitator does that, and the setting would find it inappropriate/rude for a delegate to do that.

Or, no, not without a new roll / action, but feel free, it's appropriate if you want.

For the Hidden Emperor event, should we assign a timeslot that we did it in (in regards to vps used and vp recovery)?
