I have to say, the complete lack of panic and screaming in the wake of this vote is a bit spooky. We are, after all, for the first time in many updates, actually taking a risk we aren't forced to take, and messing with Mist politics in the process as well.

@faflec are you feeling well?
He's been lupchazn'd. Probably. Maybe. Or not.
Don't be absurd. I prefer to scream when the update actually happens.

I'll do the screaming for you then, I needed a good reason to scream. (Deep breath)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was my reaction when I put the player plan next to the QM docs just now and realised what the combination implied for tomorrow's update.

Good night, all.
 
So now I'm expecting that we're not the only team to get this idea, and we'll either run into them while they're spiking Lizardbreath's drink or we find out in the morning that his drink wasn't just spiked by us.

Only half-expecting, mind you, but we can't be the only clients with a proctor in the drug trade.
 
I like to interpret this kind of QM trolling as confirmation that the plan was so good it didn't even require dice rolls. Always a bummer when, as a QM, your sustenance of panic, tears and screaming is denied to you by a particularly good plan.

If any other Chuunin candidate not only comes up with this idea, but decides to actually go through with it, then they need to die asap. This world won't survive two Hazous.

Maybe it's team downfall?

KNEW IT! Team Downfall is a negaverse version of us.
 
Team Downfall being the Negaverse version of us would make them reasonable, down-to-earth, and well-adjusted. Competent ninja with good execution, but lacking imagination. The idea of messing with a hidden village's legislation just to score more points on an exam would never occur to them.

On the other hand, you know what would be funny? If all the stupid random stuff we've done in the past was also a result of Team Downfall's oblivious efforts. Like, the mission Jotaro was on in Hot Springs was caused by Team Downfall stumbling into Jiraiya's operation. Or Yagura showing up to the big fight would be a result of info they've accidentally acquired. @eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail doesn't that sound fun?
 
Thought on Team Trap and general contingencies: How expensive is Pandaa to maintain? Because I'm thinking that we should leave him riding shotgun on the palanquin whenever we go into shops, so that no one can easily sneak around placing traps literally inside of it.

Pandaa's cheap cost is offset by the fact that he has minimal military training, and his Alertness will be effectively worthless. As a result, even a minimal use of chakra to summon/maintain him won't be worth it.
 
KAGOME: Honestly, I leave my team alone for all of two weeks and they're already conspiring to subvert a foreign government...



Telling Kagome the story of how the exams went is going to be an... interesting experience.

And by "interesting" I of course mean "explosive".

Wasn't there a trap literally inside the palanquin this last time? Unless the enemy can go invisible/inaudible/possibly-intangible he would have caught that, and either way he can serve as a deterrent.

e: Nope, going back over the update there were in fact two. I say we literally plop the little lizard down on a cushion inside the palanquin whenever it would otherwise be unattended.

Why not just leave a Noburi water clone? Costs 15 chakra and is probably more useful than Pandaa. Only downside is that it only lasts 10 minutes.

While that's definitely one possibility... there's always the reverse to worry about :p.
 
I'm with Kurkistan here. Pandaa's cheap enough that it's worth keeping him in the cart even if only to keep people away from it.
