So, I talked to Jackercracks, a fitness and exercise expert, and he claims that setting the temperature to 45°C should be sufficient to force sweating and people to evacuate in general (though not at a super fast speed that'd cause injuries) without causing increased risk of heart conditions, etc. Conveniently it's much cheaper on chakra that way too.

But will it cause mass Henge breaking, which would result in the DQs we wanted? Or are we just going for the "who's a ninja" plan?

Doesn't really matter if it gets them DQed or not; if everyone knows who's a ninja and who's a civilian, that works for us nearly as well. And since henge material doesn't leave their bodies, their clothes won't be soaked with sweat, so they'll be easy to pick out. (Does this seem accurate, @eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail?)

- Yes.
But isn't our identity compromised, meaning that we'd lose more points due to people taking points from knowing our name/village/team name?

How would we lose any more points than the rest of them?

We can fake sweat whith water or set up a situation where we are already drenched in water(and other random people so we arent especially suspected)so its more difficult to notice .
Or just hide .

*checks updated Event rules*

Fuck me, never mind. The original rules had us losing points if other people guessed those things, but the updated rules did not. I was under the impression that them knowing who Kurosawa Hazou would make us lose more points, but it just gives them more points.
So I guess we're not completely fucked, we just "lose" in the sense that we get less points than other contestants.

No, I mean, how do we "lose" at all? If everyone knows everyone else, then everyone gets the same number of points, plus or minus secret partner shenanigans.

- Yes.
Except for the top teams which we are assuming will do well in this Event as well as the previous ones.

It is worth noting that, by design, there is no complete overlap between the winning strategies for the different events. For example, the presently flourishing infiltration and social manipulation experts are likely to have struggled in the Swamp of Mild Inconvenience. Your team enjoys an unusual combination of good skill balance, effective strategising and successful cheating, which is why you haven't been tripped up in any of the events until now despite the best efforts of both your rivals and the proctors.

And now, instead of being tripped up, we decide to trip up the exams.
Just, the entire exams.
Ren: Hand me an aspirin, eaglejarl.
Eaglejarl: Hey, wait, we don't break the fourth wall in this story.
Ren: If you can make an exception for OliWhail you can make an exception for me goddammit.

Right, but um...top teams. There's no way they aren't doing well, like top 95% well.
Why would you presume the top team are as well as balanced as us?
- Location
- Yes.
I'm not. I'm presuming they simply have more XP to dump into all their skills, making them Chunin-level across the board.

That's way too high of a standard. We are currently underground, which means that if we want to get Keiko's advice we have to have an update. Which means that we pretty much have to "waste" an update talking to her in a 5 minute conversation.
So? We wasted five minutes conversation and sanity check for updates before.

Then we can make a second plan to default to if Keiko thinks it's a bad idea? It's not a hard problem to solve.
Why are you assuming this? Maybe they're just doing well because the prior events fit the skills they put XP into, but this event is giving them problems.

Because it's a safer assumption that "everyone's better than us" than "everyone's worse than us", in this case. We're not losing out on anything by assuming the teams that're ahead will stay ahead.
Well, unless we decide to focus our efforts on those teams, and the teams that will actually do well in this event get ahead because everyone was focused on sabotaging the teams already ahead...
