Well that sucks. At least we finally got word that it doesn't work

@faflec, could you include 5SB on the list of seals? I don't think it counts as abusing OOC knowledge, since any event that might involve defending a building would benefit from 5sb. If it helps, the post where I talk about sinking and flooding the other forts was written before I had the OOC knowledge.

Man, fuck Akane. It's not like we will ever win her back, and even if we could we shouldn't; from both a rationalist munchkin perspective and a Hazou happiness perspective. Who cares if we make her feel like we're treating her as a resource? She is a resource.

The point of releasing the event information like that was so that we could have a plan for the event ready for eaglejarl's update so he could write punching, right? If so, our plans should cover more than the preparation for the event.

I don't see how that would work?
We can't IC plan for something that hasn't happened yet. Hazou doesn't know the rules yet.
ALSO if we do, this plan is going to be MASSIVE and we have less than 24 hours to do it with the new info.
- Location
- Yes.
Sure.
The point Akane was making was that we treat everyone like a resource. And reality aside, the fact is that we aren't going to be able to Uplift the world if we keep doing that. So why not do it now, when the effective costs (minus some seals that we could easily make in the next ~24hr or so) are so little?
We know that because the QMs let us see that. Jiraiya knows it. Kagome knows it. Does Hazou know it? I don't think so. We have no reason to believe Kagome gave any of his seals to Jiraiya, except maybe Skywalkers. Which are another level of no-no.

Fair point.
Implosion seals are quite lethal outside of training ones, which I don't think are more valuable than training explosives for that purpose.
@faflec, we should ask DQed Leaf teams to donate some chakra to Noburi so he and everyone else has a full tank.
This isn't strictly necessary to be in the plan. Hazou would probably blurt it out anyways, so probably not a good idea.
I'd rather we not do this. It's a waste of time, and if we didn't piss anyone off simply because we didn't get caught, then we're adding risk.

Not too big for a big Pangolin to carry around though

If we have them on hand we can decide during the event whether or not to do this.
Why do you think this will be a waste of time? We have 24 hours.

Adding 5sb to total slaughter
This presumes a Pangolin would be willing to carry one around for six hours. And said pangolin would need to be resummoned after those six hours.
It's time that could be used for other things. Making seal blanks, talking with people from the minor villages and building rapport, etc.
And we don't need copies if we're going to share with teams we're part of - we'll simply have the originals on hand and can show them during the prep period. (@faflec)

The idea is that the plan will encompass both the planning and the start of the event. Hazou doesn't know IC what the event is but once he gets there he'll get part 2 of the plan and start going through with it.
(For reference, eaglejarl wanted to start the event this update anyways, and was only balked by the fact that we couldn't plan for the event like we ordinarily would. Now we have all the details so we can make our plan for the event)

You have a decent working knowledge of Mist apothecaries, and can get anything a civilian doctor would use. More advanced chemicals only used by medic-nin are not impossible, but less likely to be available from civilian shops.
Probably not unless you inflict excessive injuries or otherwise give them a good excuse to be unfair to you.
HDK.
Making overpowered weapons for no particular reason in Hazō's spare time? Out of character? Ahhahahahahaha. (My phone has an autocorrect entry for "ahhahahahahaha". This is the life I dreamt of as a kid.)

What IV said. If we don't plan for the event, then that's very poor play on our part, because we have information for planning we otherwise wouldn't.
Like existing?
I knew our characterization of him would come in handy!

Grumble grumble grumble. @Oneiros , I'm leaning more and more towards total slaughter. If you could please add some contingency that says something along the lines of "prioritize disengagement if ever facing enemy groups larger than 3 ninja" or something similar there's a very good chance I'll throw in my vote.
- Location
- Yes.
I express concern with this. Giving too much chakra (>5%) gives us Consequences, and the chakra bleeds out over hours anyway. I dunno what rate that is, but still.
Still adding, just voicing my hesitation over its value.
This is...pretty true. Deleting.
I notice @MMKII disagrees so I'm going to leave it in and ask other potential voters their opinion.

You misunderstand my intent.
Round 1:
If we are BLUE and Mist stacks RED with people from the dossier then we distribute the dossier to EVERY blue team, via courier in the 2 hour prep time. We do this so that BLUE has an aspect advantage over RED, so the top scorers have to bleed harder for any potential victory.
We won't be able to just go up and chitchat with them necessarily as we please, they're at different towers.
Likewise if we are RED and Mist stacks BLUE, we won't have time to debrief ALL Red teams to give them an aspect bonus.

How can we plan for the event if we don't know what team we're going to end up saddled with?
I still think it's a horribly unnecessary risk to ourselves. Pangolin only ambushes would be better. And that's provided it's even to our benefit to remove other players before the event, which is uncertain.
Note - other teams are incentivized to attack our courier, unless it's a Pangolin I guess. But that tells everyone who it was that released the info.

I mean, there's a reason eaglejarl gave us an extra hundred words. Use it.
