I think I like the idea of releasing the Tipserator from the mansion roof, angled diagonally up, and letting the alcohol mist float down to the contestants. It's safer and more controlled than HLAM, is not unlikely to mostly escape notice, as people don't look up, and Misterators don't make any noise as far as I know. The mist would also dilute somewhat before reaching the crowd, limiting their intoxication, and it wouldn't be quite so threatening.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail does this seem like it could work to Hazou, given the environment? Could it be done by a clone?
If we were to do this we would need to have 90% of the overall information be random garbage (and we would be giving out info on everyone) and have it be spot on for 2/3 of the dozen or so people we actually want to heavily lose (preferably proportioned by team ) .
That way it looks as though everyone is targeted when in reality a small fraction of useable information is released. It wouldn't necessarily be traceable back to us.
Also we can hedge our bets some more by applying this tactic toward the end of the event where there isn't much time left to counter it.
But if 90% of the information is random garbage, and contestants can verify that (by checking it against what they know), then how would they know which parts are correct, if any? It would look like an intentional disinformation attempt. If anything, this suggests that we might want to release a list of random garbage, where Hazou's identity is the only correct one.
Whether the list is traceable is also unimportant. If a top team sees their information (and of some other top teams) released, they will simply release all they have on the other top teams. Given how much in the limelight our team already is, I think this arms race would serve to hurt, rather than help us.
Your final point is giving me a headache, as I can already imagine innumerable lists floating around the mansion in the last half hour of the event.
No one else interested in implicating Akatsuki as an enemy of all the present ninjas btw? Unite them later when our Villages go after their bijuu, while reaping the benefits of spooking them now.
It's a pretty low risk strategy, I think. But with tremendous potential pay off.
I don't think Akatsuki is common knowledge to the extent that this could work. I'd be surprised if random proctors know about it. On the other hand, if word of this reaches the Kage themselves, they'd doubtless want to conduct an investigation, if only to figure out who's stupid enough to throw Akatsuki's name around like this for shits and giggles.
I think it carries too much of a risk of getting us to the retconned outcome, though via a different route.
