And we teamed with Riltia.

The quest-givers seem the type to not accept quest completion unless it's done to their standards...which probably aren't all on that little scrap of paper and will be adjusted to prevent loophole abuse.
Considering what FFS said a few pages ago about breaking the game to win, it seems like their standards should be updated to CAUSE loophole abuse.

I'd disagree...but the only way to find out is to ask, I guess.

Yes. I thought we had agreed on that already, though, and were just discussing the likeliest methods for completion.
NO. We're far from being able to complete it unless our loopholes instantly count, and there's cheaper quests we need the money to accept.

I had forgotten about that. Interesting...

Come to think of it, I wonder if the past-market place might be a thieves' den.

Exploiting to win does not mean having the world warp itself to make you win. It also doesn't mean anything you try will succeed.

Which happens to be why I disagree.

How about we get Ciro to recruit Ciro?
Then we'd complete the quest.

Well, do we really want to get into the 'are we our own ally' debate? I guess that's what this all boils down to.

Or we could have Goom-Bess or Cherish take the quest, and then provide proof that Ciro is a sibling.

Right?

This assumes they can take quests. Cherish probably can unless the questgiver's a dick (very high chance), but Goom-bess is an Illborn mercenary in our service. Who knows what rules might apply to that.

Assuming Cherish can, I guess we could try breaking the party, having Cherish grab it, and then joining us, but then she'd have been acting on our behalf the whole time, ie already allied. Not counting any other reason it might fail.

Dunno, can we be our own ally and our own worst enemy at the same time? Because I'm pretty sure we're demonstrably the latter.

See, that's a philosophical question of whether the moral standpoint of what we're shooting for is what we're reaching for.

Look, we can apply for the quest now, see if we qualify, ally Proxxy, and if we didn't get the Quest then we get it the other then!

Simple!

Except then between now and when we club Proxxy into submission, we have no money that we could have spent elsewhere. Like on other quests we might complete while exploring west of the market or in Outer Underside.

True.

We should probably take the other quests first.

My interpretation is that the quest would require us to obtain a new sibling ally (that wasn't our ally previously) after the quest is accepted.  With that definition, Riltia and Ciro wouldn't qualify, but Proxxy... maybe.  Depends how strictly the bit in parenthesiss is interpreted.  Regardless, I'm sure we'll ally with a few more siblings in the future - we just need to manage to have the quest accepted when that happens.
