To add to this:
- If we want to throw explosive or implosion seals up in the air to clear the mist, is Weapon skill going to be a problem? I notice that it doesn't get rolled for stuff like this but just need to make sure that people like Hazo, Nobby, Akane etc can do this.
- Does anyone know if Vampiric Dew sucks out the same amount of CP regardless of whether it is AoE or single target?
That doesn't sound foreboding at all.
Hope the quest isn't going to get cancelled or we got wiped out in the initiative roll.
I presume this is game design related issue. How does this affect the current vote?
So far, @faflec proposed the only battle plan with only one vote.
Also, I am assuming that victory is all but impossible or that we are highly likely to lose at this point, despite the confidence of other players. So we'll have to roll new characters anyway, unless our enemies did not have nefarious intention.

If this is the case, I do warn that it's... mildly-to-moderately discouraging given that our strategies for the Chuunin Exams are predicated on our current power levels, which I doubt will stay the same relative to others in the transition to the new system.

I think our stats (under the current system) are high enough that it'll be ok, so long as the Wakahisa is taken out relatively early. High character stats are a huge part of the reason I made such an ambitious plan afterall. I wouldn't have proposed we paint a giant target on our back if I didn't think we (at least, Hazou, Keiko, Noburi, and Akane) could take it. If the combat system changes, I'd update from a ~90% chance of Hazou surviving to a ~30% chance, depending on the specifics.

I don't think that's the case. Do not forget that we still have allies around that can hold their own (Team Gai especially) and have independently already engaged the Wakahisa, we can still turn this around. Sure, part of the success depends on NPCs and it makes writing a plan extremely hard due to too many IF/THEN conditions (Which people do we link up with? Did Neji and Lee disable Aiko and the mist all by themselves already? And so on.) which is probably a huge reason we haven't seen many plans written yet (the other being lack of information on things we should know by now like my first three questions in the post above).
That is going to be demoralizing if that's the case.

That doesn't sound foreboding at all.
In retrospect, I really should have PM'd that. Sorry for the alarm, folks.
Let me offer some reassurance: Thursday is going to be an interlude because @Velorien is completely out of spoons and @OliWhail and I are not far behind. Also, none of you are about to get powered down (in relative or absolute terms). We're discussing some things that will be to the advantage of the playerbase. Full details tomorrow, once Velorien is awake to review the draft of the announcement.

I have no idea why this made me think of this, but I just thought about how it might be if we had, like, instead of a 4 day voting period, a ~30 minute voting period, where we just got to decide what Hazou's actions were for the next round.

It is amusing to me how quickly we move from "okay we can handle this" to "AAAAAAAAAAAA PANIC".

I have never in my life been able to wrap my head around this voting system with all its ridiculous sub(-sub)*-points. Can someone explain it to me? For example, suppose you were voting for three unrelated questions:
1) Choose a place to live
2) Choose a profession
3) Choose a meal
Here are some tests to see if I can figure it out. If some of you wanted to throw some extra votes out there so I can see how the tally interprets them, it would be great.
[x] Where to live
- [x] Seattle
[x] Profession
- [x] Reality show star, transitioning into Cheezit in Chief
[x] Meal
- [x] Sandwich
[x] Meal
- [x] Pizza
[x] Profession
- [x] Banker
[x] Where to live
- [x] Seattle
-- [x] but not downtown
[x] Where to live

[x] Meal
- [x] Ramen
[x] Meal
- [x] Sasuke
[x] Profession
- [x] Jinchuriki
[x] Where to live
- [x] Konoha
-- [x] close to the hokage's monument.
[x] Where to live
- [x] Konoha
-- [x] Uchiha compound. *Lenny face*

I can assure you neither of those are on the table at present.That doesn't sound foreboding at all.
Significantly.
We'll do our best.
That sounds potentially amazing and hilarious. Might use it in an upcoming project...
[X] Where to live
-[X] In the woods. Surrounded by explosives and other devious traps. But mainly explosives.
[X] Profession
-[X] Hermit sealmaster and conspiracy theorist.
[X] Meal
-[X] A delicious cake made from local ingredients.
--[X] With chocolate frosting gained from cheeky apprentice.
--[X] Baked using controlled explosions to generate heat.
[X][LIVE] Seattle
-[X] But not downtown
[X][JOB] Hokage (of course)
-[X] But too late, chum, no room on the mountain
[X][MEAL]Pizza!
-[X]No anchovies
-[X] But not downtown
[X][JOB] Hokage (of course)
-[X] But too late, chum, no room on the mountain
[X][MEAL]Pizza!
-[X]No anchovies
So observe how the tally counts my votes with the extra bracket header. It can give the top vote for LIVE, the top vote for JOB, and the top vote for MEAL. Also the top subvote for each of these.
