Does anyone remember what level of consequences Banshees inflict?
And the other Blue teams, if possible. Even just destroying their documents would prevent their side from scoring 50 points.
Also, suicide bomber clones are a legit tactic here for us.
No, only the target documents.

Earbusters function at 150dB, enough to rupture eardrums. Which would be...Moderate? Severe? It wouldn't be Mild, recovery time is measured in weeks...
Eh, I think that one would be hard to argue to the other villages. This is actually case where game mechanics are fighting simulation a bit. Fate only lets you have one moderate consequence slot, but there's no reason you can't have both a sprained ankle and a concussion in-universe.

Wait. .. the documents have to be our documents. But do the red prisoners have to be our red team?
- Location
- Yes.

I'd presume they'd lose points for being in a cell, regardless of which cell it is. Whether or not we'd gain points is uncertain, but keeping prisoners conscious is dangerous.

It is quite risky to go all out on the first round. If we just start steamrolling entire teams we will get ganked by multiple teams the second round (especially if we're on defense the second round). My proposal is that we should play the first round relatively by the books and then unleash hell in the second round.

Also a consideration for meddling with other zones, if proctors show up and block the way then we need to make sure not to hurt them. I expect after the first round the proctors will start doing that if they don't from the get go.

Depends on proctor judgement, so probably yes. Dragging red team members over from other sites would also be a huge pain. I'd say inflicting consequences and tanking them that way should be enough.

But if they are inside a cell at rounds end they get 0 positive points, but lose all points they should lose anyway.

I think we can't get 5x9x10 = 450 points that way, if that's what you're asking. Maximum point rewards are explicitly stated, so I fear we wouldn't be able to go above them by abusing this loophole.
Or maybe we can. But HDK, I think.
...unless we MAKE cells with MEW.

Dragging other red team members into cells is absolutely worth it since it removes any possible gains they could get for that round.
This ensures they will get a net decrease in points from having members of (their) red team in a cell at rounds end

So I'm 100% on board with the current idea of attacking other teams. However I think we still need to cull the ranks of top teams to make it more manageable. Any one who we eliminate now is one less competitor that we have to eliminate in the event itself

Okay, so I think it actually doesn't matter where we start:
Round 1: Play this honestly (adhere to the spirit of the event). Try to flawless victory vs all teams of the other color and then set up the battlefield for the next round. We can't just troll everyone of our color because we have to work with those assholes next round.
Round 2: Tableflip Central: here is where, regardless of what color we are, the optimal strategy is to beat the living snot out of all other teams of our color and every team of the opposing color. Of course specific strategy with respect to that changes depending on if we are blue or red this round

No we don't? They're mixing up the squads between rounds so we know they aren't in our group in the second.

When I say our Team in round one I'm referring to {All teams who are our color}.
The set of possible teammates for round 2 is the same set as this one.

I thought beating the snot out of people wasn't viable because we get negative points for all the injuries?
- Location
- Yes.
Ah, that make more sense. Yet I still feel that we should screw over all the other squads for the simple reason that we have to make everyone else lose hard, even if we're red side (making people score negative points is so critical).
Only for Severe injuries.

No.
The scoring is done in individual Teams.
So if we are Blue Team 3 that round, we do not do anything but assist Blue Team 3.
However we are free to mercilessly destroy Blue Team 2 or Red Team 1-4
Also on board with culling top teams pre-event.
Let the blood flow.
