@eaglejarl just FYI, my "Informative" rating for your post is actually "Screaming in Kagome".

These people have two full consequences already so unless they really dont give a shit about their score (unlikely) nonlethal will be enough to take them out easily.
Obviously we're doing the speech.

They see the shiny +5 XP and do not autotranslate the option as "Will certainly include dice rolls to maim or kill your opponents." or something of the sort.

- Yes.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Any chance we could get some information regarding the other R1 Blue Team members that weren't mentioned thus far (e.g., are Team Mugiwara/Chinin/Gensō R1 Blue Team members?)? That and general abilities would be awesome.

No, no, it's not about corruption. Corruption would be if this were against the law or if I were doing it in secret. This is simple capitalism: I'm offering to buy a service, and you're free to enter into the transaction or not.

There is going to be at least one dumb motherfucker whos going to tempt fate and try to dodge our minefield of explosive hell. Do you believe some fliers are going to save our asses from the resulting political shitstorm? I do not believe so. If you do believe this approach would work, thats your priority.
I do not. I do not view this as sufficiently pessimistic, and I do not want to mulch some 14 year old dumbass because we needed a few points.
Political shitstorm is going to fly even if all five kages approve it.

Goddammit @eaglejarl if you don't finish the update, then you're passing along "lethal traps in the chuunin exams" to the evil QM! and not even getting to write it!
(Hm. I suppose that's incentive to fix your sleep schedule, silly, though.)

Thats exactly what Im thinking.
At worst: Hazou will feel like complete shit.This is bad character steering IMO. We dont even need to do this to win!
Edit:
Actually, why is this even a question? We're *supposed* to be coordinating with Shikamaru on the attack paths. Theyre all supposed to try to avoid the big trap field anyway!!!

Keep in mind that even if we'd legally be in the clear if someone died to our traps, it would really not look good for us if we then turned around and wanted to preach cooperation to the Villages whose genin we just killed.
The emotional side of them will still blame us for it even when we were perfectly clear in our intent and legally absolved.
The biggest argument for using lethal traps is to ensure we reach the tournament with a higher degree of certainty because we need this in the long term at home in Leaf. Well, we also need people to - if not like us - be willing to work with us internationally if mutual Uplifting/cooperation is still on the agenda (which I assume it is).

He could always write an interlude, or I can do the mechanics for him so that he only has to write.
As to the sleep schedule, I refuse to take the blame for this one. I went to bed at a reasonable hour, I just couldn't get to sleep.
I was at Walgreens yesterday, trying to buy some Adrafinil. They didn't have it, but they had a TRUCKLOAD of melatonin. Apparently that stuff has caught on.

This isn't capitalism. You're not a customer here, you are the state. If you want to have Hazo and co murder genin/all their hopes and dreams so much, just write an Omake. I don't see why you'd be so happy to tempt a quest-killing salt-plosion in the first place?

Question: Why do you think Ino will support this?
Other Question: Why is Ino being there to support this sufficient justification for your vote?

We have two options:
- Use our advantages to the fullest, all-but ensuring attackers are funnelled into a bottleneck, thus gaining a massive tactical advantage.
- Don't do that and risk losing out on a massive tactical advantage due to a naieve and misguided sense of idealism.
Let's reframe slightly:
Negaverse Thread
Team Uplift has put a clearly labeled and active meat grinder in your path, lit with floodlights and surrounded by warning klaxons. They have also sent written notification to 99.8% of everyone in Mist to be aware of this, including every Kage, contestant, and proctor, and also loudly announced it's presence at dinner.
Do you step through, or go around?

No, this is incorrect.

1. Some dumb ass mother fucker is going to call that bluff.
2. In a chaotic fight (like the bottleneck we're planning to put people through) someone will be pushed, thrown, or otherwise forced to go into the meat grinder.

There will be at least three.
