That doesn't actually take you to the channel unless you're already invited. It's just taking me to Discord in general, without adding the MfD chat channels to my list of servers. You need to make an invite.
I have no idea how to do that. Check... Cari's sig?
That works.

So whoever is watching Hazou has something to worry about. It also puts everyone a bit more on edge, adding to the confusion when the temperature starts rising.
Just to clarify, we are trying to start WW4 with this stunt, right? Because I'm becoming increasingly worried that we might succeed.

Not especially, no; and it won't happen either. WW4 would imply a prolonged fight.
I objected to the previous iteration, "the bomb threat" due to potential risk of a stampede.
The Sneeze Threat is funny, and ultimately harmless.
I was thinking more about putting 100+ drunk and hostile-at-each-other ninja in a pressure cooker.
EDIT: Just for the record, what is our plan for when the massacre is investigated?

I honestly didn't noticed that it got added when I voted for it, or otherwise I would have objected.
Oh, also we'll need to de-traumatise Best Girl. We kinda made her complicit in the mass-slaughter. She might not want to talk to us after this.

Note that the appropriate section is labeled "Preparation". While it isn't said outright, so there may be a misunderstanding on the subject, it is not intended to be done this update.
No. Just for Rock and Cloud to be at war, so Leaf, Mist, and Sand can use the time to build up. Also, war profiteering will be great for our respective economies.
SHIN: (drunkenly: ) Oi! Oi!
TEMARI: (also drunkenly: ) What?!
SHIN: Yer gran's a slag!
TEMARI: You fookin' starting somethin', mate?!
PROCTOR: (watching from the sidelines: ) Why are they British...?
SHIN: Let's go, bitch! I'll fookin' shank yer!
HAZOU: Welp. There goes Mist and Sand getting along. smh

If you think that that from ninja death world perspective that one is our fault taking into account the context of the event, I have a bridge to sell you.
I don't think "But I was subtly poisoned with sake" is ever an excuse in this universe.
On the other hand, it sounds weak to me to say "Well yes I deliberately packed a bunch of intoxicated and mutually-hostile supersoldiers into a small space which I then flooded with a heatwave, but how was I supposed to know they'd kill each other?".

I don't understand the question. While it's possible for proctors to suspect our involvement, and also suspect that Akane of being responsible if someone sees her use the technique and reports it afterwards, ultimately there isn't that much they can do to conclusively prove it. Akane can just claim she was using a technique to eavesdrop on people, and EM is weird and unusual enough that it's going to be hard for the proctors to reason about its mechanics; in particular, the fact that it stays active in an area for a long time in the absence of any additional effort by the caster is a property no other technique known to us has - intuitively you'd expect to have to actively maintain it. If I were a proctor, my first thought upon witnessing the effects would be some kind of bloodline, probably from Sand or maybe Hot Springs. And Akane is a clanless ninja from a civilian family, whose only notable trait is being involved with Hazou. I'm not even sure whether her being a part of our team is known to anyone but the truly well-informed.
If there's more than one sighting of her using the technique and it doesn't get lost in the constant noise generated by candidates doing things, proctors could DQ her based on the suspicion alone, but they won't be able to do much else without Jiraiya becoming involved. And if they try to do anything to us, he's going to have a field day with Mist apparently trying to arbitrarily blame his kids for their own incompetence in letting some genin derail their event.
So all in all, I think we're good on this front.

- Yes.
"If they were real supersoldiers they'd know to control themselves in a hostile environment."?
REN: No. (throws SuperTeam Leaf in T&I)
Doesn't matter. It's throwing shit into the fan.

And a war starts immediately. Which Mist can't win.
What we're doing this update isn't even technically against the rules unless someone's Henge pops directly from perspiration. It won't have any repercussions beyond a DQ unless there's really multiple murders involved that the proctors fail to stop.

That's like, purely a them problem and not an us problem from a blame perspective. If anything the proctors should step in once they notice something like that -what Mist, your chunin can't make judgement calls? As remarked above, I'm pretty sure we would be okay from a political perspective. I don't think one can argue against fuckingn up an important infiltration mission by virtue of "Oh but one night we had way too much to drink and I accidentally murdered half of the enemy ninja in the room before sprinting away, oopsies."
It's not like we've done anything to put this into action yet (this update should just be prepping this idea) so we can add in something like "Turn them off quickly once a large number of people become decently tipsy." There's no harm in having them.
One can raise similar objections for poisoning the academy instructor. Sure we were pretty sure he wouldn't die, but we couldn't have known he wouldn't have flipped out in a way that didn't traumatize or injure some people severely. This at least we have a modicum of control over how far it goes, if at all.
