As an avid Harry Potter fan, and somebody who thinks that MOR is vastly overrated, the inclusion of that fic here somewhat annoys me.
But I do believe that the idea has some merit. Ravenclaw here, although I do have some Gryffindor tendencies, like cackling with glee at the thought of the pain train plan.

It is no less than two voting cycles away (R1, then break), which means "practically indefinitely far into the future".
And, well, I already posted my reasoning regarding why it's related to R1 specifically.

That's potentially true yes, but I believe around the same time as the warning EJ expressed dismay about trying to fit both rounds and the break in *one* update. To which we suggested something like Velorien write our social bs during the break so that EJ gets the pleasure of writing both combat segments.
So, I think you may be trying too hard to examine it from that lens.

Ah. So the urgency was related to the fact that we need to destroy all teams in R1, because we may not have the opportunity to destroy anyone in R2, which means all R1!Red_Teams will stay undestroyed if we don't attack them in R1? That... could be it.

What else could it be, though? I've read through your compilation very carefully and none of the other options strike me as particularly actionable. For example, there isn't really any preparation we can do against attempts to reduce our point total via Severe Consequences.

Remember kids, FIRST brainstorm individually by the clock to come up with as many ideas as you can. Write them all down as a way to precommit to sharing them. THEN share them, THEN have everyone do another round of brainstorming aimed at modifying or recombining ideas or adding ones that the original ideas inspire. You can in theory repeat this step until nobody has any new ideas to add. FINALLY, get together to collaboratively evaluate how promising each item on the full list of ideas is.

I believe it was:
We were under the assumption Blue Teams could just abandon ship and punch freely throughout the field , but this VERY MUCH violates the simulation aspect of the event.
Thus if our strategy remained unchanged (don't attack red in R1) then we would have only targeted slightly more than half our competition overall (if we attack as blue, say goodbye to 1000 points )This wouldn't get us the score needed for the finals.
If I'm reading that right...

Yeah, it requires manually editing the BBCode -- move the '[/quote]' on the first quote to be after the '[/quote]' on the second one. Sounds like you already knew that, though.
Why do you feel that?
They are not.
Weeks IRL? In game it's 2 days away. Regardless, your strategy in round 1 will have very significant impact on how round 2 plays out.
I really am, yes. :>
Did you mean 'blew up'?

*squints*
Why would that be parsed any differently?
Do you mean move the second "{qUOTe=..}" along with the text to be inside the first one?
EDIT: nvm.Clearly not enough coffee this morning for me...

Somehow I don't think that would be simulating a functioning T&I facility, unless they're even more wild than I thought.

Nah, I no longer feel that. Thank you for an additional clue, though.
Yes, IRL.
Glad to hear it. I enjoyed it as well.

Why, we didn't blow it up ourselves. That dastardly red team did in an attempt to cost us points.
e: I mean, if I was forced to attack a sealmaster on prepared ground I'd just get rid of the prepared ground.

Lets not blow up or fuck around with our facility beyond trying to make it impregnable without altering the physical layout meaningfully.
