Isn't event getting cancelled really good for us? We're leading the scoreboards.

Shikamaru is unlikely too complain too much if event gets cancelled, they're also high up in the stats, and assuming we do this nonviolently we're not risking village getting kicked.
I am really concerned about some smartass starting something violent though. We can't be the only people with poor risk estimation.

I believe people are just assuming we're going to get approximately -∞ because of the earlier KO. I doubt it, but I wouldn't entirely put it past the QMs.
Nah, maxing our score, getting credit with SuperTeam leaf by cooperating with them, and not messing up Jiraiya's schedule, through a simple door-slam tactic is far more likely to go well for us.
We don't need to win, we just need to make Leaf win, and get internal cred. Getting docked points over a single event in a field we don't specialize in isn't ammo against us politically, and if anything our many examples of being unfairly treated work in our favour.

Isn't the event being cancelled the perfect outcome for us? The problem before was with people getting hurt/killed, which had serious political ramifications both internal and external.

We can't get negative points for a cancelled event! Also all DQed people can't name us as ninja, so we save those negative points too if they can't take the ballot. What other source of negative points is there?
Hm, now that I think of it, since
I don't suppose Shikamaru would be willing to just share his information with us?

I mean I think people assume we're going to get -∞ conditional on the event not being cancelled.

Sooo you were agreeing with me? Maybe I misunderstood your intent behind your reply.
Also getting correctly identified by all ninja is only like -200 points, I think? We get identified by ~150 contestants for -300 pts, we name 250 ninjas for net 150 * 2 - 100 * 2 = 100 points. Which is significant but not -∞.

Maybe not -30k bad, but we're definitely losing at present. If we don't table flip, we need something pretty good to actually win. A trick to sort ninja from civilians would be useful, but this nets us at most 100 points (not guessing as ninja the 50 civs) over baseline.

I doubt many people are far above +100 points though. That implies a lot of secret role/ village background knowledge.
Thoooough given that Akane (!) knows the exact identity of some random guy, maybe not that unlikely??

We can just break up with her and be done with this drama. There are plenty better opportunities for us.
we can go back to VHitM, learn it ourselves, then use them as practice

Kinda sad about not punching Ino in the face. Well that can still happen, so let's hope for the tournament.
@Velorien ,@eaglejarl ,@OliWhail , you guys are amazing GM's. Not sure if insane, masochistic or both though. Thanks for everything anyway.

Thanks. A bit of both, most likely. Certainly not thrilled about having to do this retcon, but there was no other valid option.
You have not left yet. What you told him was that you were going to spray them with an alcoholic mist.
Thank you.
Note that the food is inside and everyone is currently outside.
If you ask, the others will tell you that they would be surprised if people started randomly punching when they can see that there's no serious danger. The exception to this is if they're drunk or their judgement is otherwise impaired. In that case, all bets are off.
You can't actually see it right now, but to save time I'll just tell you that the crowd density is about the same.

Hmm... I was pretty confident I did a physics post on Fire-log macerators back before we got to Leaf (probably around Spring of 2017), and I wanted to check it, because... uh... reasons. Anyone (@faflec ) remember where it might be, or if someone else did the math? My normal indexing doesn't seem to cover it (starting stuff with "Radvic's Analysis of <x>" and making a post with > 500 words).
