That... doesn't help. I mean, who exactly we're teamed up with will change a lot. As will which side of the event we're on. @eaglejarl, if you're giving us foreknowledge, do you want us to know this as well?

For reference, @eaglejarl, This will mostly affect how word-efficient the plan is, as far as I can tell. If we have to plan for both conditions, half that will be unused.

You have not researched any storage seal aside from the most basic.
The expectation is that the 9 of you will work together.
No, Consequences are what happens when you hit 0 and keep going.

This is a very good point and I hope it doesn't get lost.
For example, if I was Shin I would form my own SuperTeam Mist and agree beforehand to work together during the event, regardless of how we get split (we already suspected being split and made to fight each other so this is IC knowledge). I would make up a signal, like a specific explosive seal pattern, to signal Mist nins from my own platoon (red or blue) and those from the opposite platoon plus all Mist nin that are "observing the event" to immediately attack any non-Mist nin on the Red or Blue platoon and inflict Severe Consequences. Minus points are irrelevant if none of the ninjas are capable of participating in the next round and he already has a good enough lead that inflicting minus points to everyone is fine (and it's mostly a net zero loss for Red and Blue teams; only the extraneous Mist nins technically gain points by lowering everyone else's scores).
We should look into either doing the same with STL or agree on a defense pact that crosses the Red/Blue borders the moment we suspect another SuperTeam is attempting this.
- Location
- Yes.
Likely going to do the same, plus some other possible changes below:
I will argue that we don't need to immediately offer all this; I'd say that we should trade only if they hesitate/ask us to sweeten the offer.
Again, we don't "bribe", we "pay" or "trade".
Please don't do this.
Other than this...maybe add some detail as to how we fight? I can write something up, and help shrink word count to help with spoons.

Will add most of those. Will keep asking Akane for her seals for now but if it's the only way to win your support will cut it

This is the last event. If the people we are targeting are on the other team, they have incentive to:
1) Attack us anyway
2) Do so in groups depending on what round it is.
After the event it doesn't matter how pissed they are.
I can write up a general post describing in detail the merits of my proposed strategy and all working elements of it, if you want, but trust me that it doesn't hurt to have Noburi make like ~30 of these in an hour or two.
@faflec
1)Specify we won't use the dossiers just yet, don't want to accidentally them like the tipserators?
2) It would be incredibly useful if we can arrange some way to contact and or locate Shikamaru during this event beforehand. (Regardless of whether or not he ends up on the same Color as us in round one. We can modify our general strategy such that it doesn't hurt him and helps us and vice versa, through some collaboration. Even if you very much doubt that we have CURRENTLY have such an option as far as strategies go, it will be extremely beneficial for us in the event if we can reliably contact him. Perhaps a party trick or fireworks or a white flag with the "oil" kanji on it. Whatever works.)
Edit: Note that the fact above regarding "Useful to contact Shika" is true regardless of meta knowledge.

Sorry, I missed this from earlier. I'm referring to Wakahisa overcharging, which means they're giving us over 100% our Chakra Reserves. At >5% we get a Mild Consequence according to the rulesdoc.
It's...not necessary but it's something I really do want; my main concern was @18scsc's concern which I seconded. I will still emphasize that it's something that's unnecessary and possibly damaging to any future relationship between the two of us, and suggest that if word count becomes an issue then you should cut it.
I think I did 1) already but will make sure/clarify. 2) is possible but I'd like to confirm it's not too far off the line. @eaglejarl confirm it's not metagaming here; we do expect to be working as teams against each other, so...?
Why would we need over 100%? I just said full tank. Not overfilled tank.

...You know, if we convinced every squad on every team to lock up their own team, there would be twelve people left. Enough to get into the tournament.
- Location
- Yes.
But we should already have a full tank (24hr to event start) and my plan doesn't need us to spend chakra... Eh. I'll change it to clarify.
Well, Noburi will need his tank filled up at the least, since his chakra water doesn't store chakra indefinitely.

@eaglejarl
Reasoning: We know there will be a red team and a blue team of some sort of composition and number. Mist is likely to split us all up (Ino has noted this). Despite this it would be useful to agree on ways of signaling each other beforehand (Lets NOT repeat Event 4, where we had to spend a decent portion of time hunting Shika down.)
Give our honor we won't abuse this or otherwise waste his time in the event with it.
- Location
- Yes.
It stores over the course of days if his barrel is a Wakahisa barrel? I mean, I thought he brought one with him? @eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Does Noburi have his standard Wakahisa barrel (which leaks chakra over the course of weeks/months)?
He would have his standard barrel. I'm just forgetting things, I guess. I want to be certain to ensure we've got enough chakra here.

@eaglejarl Can you clarify whether you want us to include planning for the event?
- Location

Ideally, yes.
Yes, it's fine if you set up plans on how to sync up with STL or other people.
This was addressed by others, but to confirm: he has a Wakahisa barrel and chakra water in one of those leaks chakra over weeks or months.
That's fine.
- Location
- Yes.
@Oneiros Your plan is getting close to the word count, and I'm starting to wonder if there should be a contingency on your plan in case Keiko or Shikamaru vetos the ambush; if that's the case I'd want you to have an abbreviated version of my plan. Do you want me to help abbreviate your/my Action Plan to get this done?
Do you think we should also have a way to contact Team Kurenai? Edit: And Nakano?
Completely forgot about this, sorry. I've added both.

That's what stupid boxes are for!
I see no issue
Hmn... We should probably make it clear that we intend to give Akane replacement seals later. I foresee just "give back the seals" leading to social headaches.
