- Yes.
I read the questions and feel your understanding of the parts are accurate, and addressed what I could. Will try to expand. RIP word count though
If you have suggestions, please tell me because I have no idea how to prevent this. You know, beyond killing/maiming them.

- Yes.
The current plan. I really hope it's not too telegraphic/confusing, I kinda suck at this sort of thing.

I still strongly disagree with handing out our seals to nobodies.
I mean, seriously. If they turn around and use Jiraiya Goo Bombs on us, there ain't shit we can do. We aren't gonna be able to dodge Jiraiya's sealing level. Similarly, Banshee Slayers only help if they're active. If they give us a pat on the back and activate a banshee next to our ears there's nothing we can do.

BIRTHDAY!
She's Mari-sensei now.
That, and our QMs are soft, player-loving carebears that aren't capable of anywhere near as much evil as they try and portray.

This one. If we collectively put as much effort into finding issues for good outcomes, I'd bet we could even come up with compelling reasons as to why we shouldn't have been granted Leaf citizenship and why Jiraiya should have had us killed the first moment he could've gotten away with it.

Yep.
Yep. This is one of the negatives of the word count limits - I would've much preferred to just write exactly what you wrote there. In hindsight, I shouldn't have accepted @faflec's edits until we actually started to hit the next threshold.
Yes. For Doigama, "confront" may even be too forceful as he's not really doing anything wrong. For all we know, he simply doesn't care for the other Wolf ninja.
That's kind of tough. I want to say to just do it if the rest of the team look like they'll accept it. He'll likely have a good explanation, which will likely be very convincing utter bullshit. I don't know if I want to take chances against his socials. I'll clarify this section after we discuss it a bit more.
That's fine, as long as she doesn't do something extreme like only wanting to keep Pankurashun out. Rest of the plan doesn't depend on specific Pangolins or their number in any way.
Yes. For some of them, "some" might just mean a single one, as we don't have that many Banshees or Goo Bombs.
Hm, my understanding is that you can give people consequences by over-draining them a bit. But yes, if they surrender, we drain them to unconsciousness and they get to keep their word halves. If it's a problem, I think we can skip the injuries - I don't expect many surrenders, especially not from top teams. Will revisit this.
Yes. Up to one friendly per team member should be ok, I think. I'll put that in the plan.

- Yes.
Logically the same thing could be said for explosives they throw at us. But I see your point. Will edit so that only our team has/uses Goo Bombs or Banshees.

Yeah, also, uh... our seals aren't really all that dependent on our team being immune to and/or using them themselves...
According to @Adept_Woodwright's calculations it's only at point blank range that our banshees can pop eardrums, and they haven't trained extensively in use of seals in combat as we have.

@faflec @Roomba:
1) Keep Goo bombs within Team Uplift (Something something clan secrets something something handwave)
2) Idea for countering/stopping any accidental, resurrection and fleeing/ambushing afterwards:
- Spray captured opponents with Perfumerator so that tracking them down later is easy, if they somehow escape.
3) Maybe add "Suggest" or "Recommend" to Keiko's proposed Pangolin loadout. She is the boss with respect to that, and we don't want to directly undermine her agency.

Already did the first, but 2/3 seem reasonable. Done.

Eh
I don't think that, at this moment in time, we have expressly voiced our full strategy Re: Beating the living shit out of everyone.

So, as per @eaglejarl's comments, I'd like to solicit feedback on the following points:
1. What do we do if Kato lied about his chakra capacity? I'm inclined to drain him if the rest of the team agrees, and not listen to excuses.
2. How many "friendlies" do we let each person designate? One per person sounds ok to me.
3. Do we injure people who surrendered to us? I don't expect many surrenders, and certainly not from top teams, so I think we can be merciful and just drain them to unconsciousness.
I disagree with that on principle, and I think the value of our teammates having the seals is greater than the potential for an opsec breach.

True, but this puts more work on the QMs to determine what Keiko would do IC.

Only impose limits if the number starts getting too high or if people start abusing it.
edit: as in, ask if there are any people they want to be designated friendlies, and if someone lists off like twenty people or everyone's got three guys they want spared, then revise the offer.

- I'm mostly in agreement. But I would make sure to grill/isolate him if everyone else doesn't for some reason.
- Sounds good.
- I...would rather we injured them anyway. Remember that it's not just them that get points (or fewer negative points, whatever), it's their whole team. It becomes worse if teammates of top teams do the surrendering. We do not want to screw ourselves over surrendered enemies.

Exactly how do you propose our teammates -- every single one of which is a melee combatant -- use seals that explode in goo?

Same way Hazou and Sakura used them against that one team we conned out of their half words?

@Roomba
We should injure as many people as possible to reduce both the points they and their teams can earn and to reduce competition in the next round.
I would also vote for Goo bombs to remain with Keiko (and maybe Noburi) because they are most optimally used by a ranged fighter.
Also neatly resolves the potential OPSEC threat (meh) but more importantly the possibility of snaring one of our melee characters by accident or betrayal. Keiko is really, really good at aiming them.
