Well, that's reassuring then. No real chance for wordplay there.
WIDTTY?
In general, yes.
"Maximum point penalties" would involve inflicting Severe Consequences (read: break arms/legs), as they deduct some 25 points from those peoples' scores, or something like that. But I don't think we want to do that, since we'd lose 200 points; plus you say to use Moderate Consequences later. Maybe clarify this?
Pankurashun has already been summoned. I think the plan was to summon Pangaya, Panashe, and Pandojuru?
If we're giving them Banshees/Earbusters we should be giving them Banshee Slayers, so that they aren't hurt from the attack.
Doigama should also have that (?), honestly.
This should go after the Strategy section.
Suggestion: Use explosives to trigger traps safely?
To be clear: You aren't advocating destroying the documents we're sent to retrieve, only those in other groups.
This should really go at the top, during the 2 hours we get for prep.
It seems we're imagining it differently. My vision: We effortlessly break their squads and their spirits with our overwhelming power, bind them and take their possessions. We say that this will happen again overmorrow, and that there's little they could do to prevent it. We say that their word-halves are in the Seventh Path, and could not be retrieved without our permission. We say that, if and only if they [insert deal here] next round, we will be merciful and return them.
I'm not sure that "fetching a proctor" is such an obvious action, given that we're technically going against the event's spirit and that Mist hates us. Would the team think about them as assets?
Fetch a proctor if one of the Blue Teams is involved. If it's purely Red Teams... I'm not sure either. Try to get them to scatter with enormous
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Do the penalties for crippling injuries stack? For example, if Hazou and Keiko are at a site and Hazou cripples Shin, does Keiko receive -50 points for being onsite and another -50 for being Hazou's teammate?
HDK
something something Hazou asks a proctor something something please be a loophole
Proctors not answering anything more mate.
That seems to be the collective assumption, yes.
Hmm. I think if the experiment with incentivizing short plans actually hurts our efficiency, we should adjust the incentives, not make plans less comprehensive. "Is that actually a superior choice in-universe?" is all that should matter.
I was thinking more along the lines of "activate when about to engage, deactivate when done"? We're not using them 24/7 and we really should give our teammates protection.
I was hoping that we could do something like "see room, explode room, clear room, repeat".
The one where we're at is 1 mile away, the others are ~5 miles away.
Ignoring short plan for reasons of the bonus XP , just dealing with Round 1 is going to be quite a large plan. There's a lot to account for and we don't have any wiggle room to fuck up anymore.
For the record, the loophole is this: If penalties for critical injuries stack, we can exploit this by gathering all our beaten-up foes in one place, then leave it. Have one fall guy (Doigama, Katō) stay behind. Once we've gotten far enough away (so that we don't trigger the "onsite") penalty, the fall guy starts breaking limbs. Our team loses -50 points for being the fall guy's teammate, but everybody else loses -100 points (-50 for being onsite, -50 for being the injured party's teammate).
You are assuming that it doesn't stack in our direction?
Sure, 5 separate penalties of -50 due to being the fall guy's teammate. But everyone who's onsite (read: everyone but us) gets -50 for being onsite, and the teammates of each injured person gets another -50 for being that poor sob's teammate.
This seems like extra complexity that we don't need to add though? The gains are pretty marginal.
Let's save time: the Severe consequences rules are there because the Exams are supposed to be a place where villages can come together and compete without TOO much danger. Deliberately savaging your opponents and then telling the proctors "ha ha this is to our benefit because rules lawyer!" is not going to work out well for you. The penalties are intended to cover the case where you accidentally injure someone, and there are no circumstances under which deliberately crippling a person would be a good thing for you, especially if they are already a prisoner. Keiko and Noburi will tell you this in the update.
All of the facilities are roughly 5 miles from the city gate. You don't know their arrangement to each other. It's reasonable to assume that your proctor has brought you to your own facility, since doing otherwise would scream of bias.
