Which option is punch everyone but leave ISC conscious?

Also why are you guys are assuming that people like Kato won't get destroyed next round without us to protect them?
 
Wait guys quick question: We have clarified that documents can only be turned in by their corresponding Red Team pair, not any Red Team pair in general, right?
 
ALRIGHT BOYS FUCK THIS SHIT TIME TO PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH

Note: Will let ISC keep word-halves. something something be nice something something punching in Kagome.

[X] Action Plan: Be Zabuza

OK!
NB: The main difference here is that Keiko is summoning more and more Pangolins. I still feel that we should continue ramping up our Pangolin count, since Pangolins are faster than ninja and should be capable of chasing fleeing ninjas.

Alright there's more changes than that now.

Word Count: 570

[X] Action Plan: Zabuza the Pangolin

Prep: Consider talking in Air Dome for OPSEC/protection.
  • Word-halves:
    • Teammates deserve a share, but possessing people's word-halves will be dangerous after this round.
    • State that we intend to publicize possession of the word-halves we've taken.
    • Trade (real) explosives for letting us take word-halves.
  • Friendly participants: We want to let some people keep their word-halves (ISC); do others have similar wishes?
    • Max: 1 Friendly/teammate.
    • Confront Doigama if he doesn't mention his Wolf compatriot.
  • Chakra:
    • May need teammates' chakra for Summoning.
      • Point out seals as proof of good intentions.
    • Check allies' reserves:
      • Pretense: Familiarizing to ease future transfers.
      • NB: Kato's reserves. If lied, confront + consider drain-KO & medic delivery if team agrees. Don't listen to excuses.
  • Debrief allies on dossiers & general facility layout.
    • Be vague about Leaf teams.
  • Carrot and Stick:
    • If Teammates seem to be uncooperative or suspicious note how flexible we are with taking everyones interests into account.
    • Subtly drop hints regarding value of having good working relationships the Hokage's children.
    • Keiko pointedly reminds them that betrayal is unwise, slyly asks Pankurashun what Pangolins do to traitors (Intimidate).
  • Distribute seals:
    • Explosives: Encourage liberal use.
      • Training tags for people.
      • Weapon:2 for demolitions.
    • Oxygen Mask: Protect from Doigama's poison.
    • Earmuff seals: Banshees.
  • Suggested Summons:
    • Pankurashun.
    • Pandajouru/Pangaya (bring out before combat starts).
    • Panashe (may delay until after defeating designated Blue Team).
    • Other Combat Pangolins (as chakra costs allow).
  • Roles:
    • Scouting/Interference: Panashe, Doigama, Kato.
    • Support/Ranged: Keiko, Noburi, Gomi.
    • Assault: Everyone else.
Strategy:
  • General:
    • Scout ahead. Prioritize quickly obtaining broad view of situation and avoiding capture.
    • Overscrew enemies:
      • Put Red Teams in cells. DON'T make them Blue prisoners (either don't restrain them, or prevent their ability to talk).
        • Escort a (restrained, chakra-drained) Red Team member to submit their documents before bringing them to a cell.
      • Give Moderate Consequences (ideally chakra drain).
      • Steal word-halves.
    • Keiko: Intimidate captured top teams, stop them from attacking us R2.
      • NB: Figure out balance between too many people attacking us R2 and not enough people attacking us R2.
  • Breach our designated Blue facility first. Recover key/documents. Clear/mostly clear site.
  • Afterwards:
    • Take enemies' chakra, redistribute amongst ourselves.
    • Dab some perfume on enemies (imperceptible to them, easy for Pangolins to track now and in Round 2).
    • Scout other sites.
    • Everyone goes to deliver documents to proctor station.
  • Repeat for other sites.
    • Prioritize softer targets & Red Teams (harder to pin down).
Combat: Shock & Awe.
  • Use overwhelming force.
  • Keiko: Open with thrown Goo Bombs/Banshees.
    • Ideally use in open spaces.
    • If in buildings: May throw into enemy-filled rooms.
  • Assault: Engage stunned/immobilized enemies. Pangolins lead.
    • Hazou: Use Pangolin pepper Macerators, but avoid friendly fire.
  • Interference/Support: Throw explosives/Firelog Macerators to distract/intimidate (and also give Gomi light for Genjutsu).
  • Support/Interference: Watch for retreats/reinforcements.
  • For buildings: Breach everywhere simultaneously, clear by room.
    • Focus enemies, check traps afterwards.
  • Chase fleeing enemies. Don't chase individuals if hard to track.
    • Be careful they don't lead us into traps/ambush.
Contingencies:
  • Enemy teams blatantly violate rules? Fetch proctors.
  • Doigama/Kato: Maintain OPSEC regarding missing-nin activities/Leaf politics. Track seal use if they cheat on returns.
  • Non-top team candidates surrender? Accept. Do everything as normal, but leave word-halves.
  • If turning in our documents removes us from this round:
    • Keep documents with us (e.g., Seventh Path) and continue rampage; turn in documents after rampage is ended.
    • When escorting other Reds to turn in documents, make sure they're not a top team.

My plan is to buy out Kato and have him betray his Blue Team anyway so
 
I googled the issue1​, and I think our best bet in regards to making Reds mute is to inject their tongues with something that will make them swell. Noburi likely could come up with something.

Problem: it's pretty, well, evil. We'll attack people, stick them in cells, injure them, psychologically terrorize them, then inject them with some bioweapon on top of that. What kind of message does this send? I don't think it would be good for Jiraiya politically, either.
1. "HOW TO MAKE A PERSON MUTE". I'm sure I'm not about to be arrested.​

I suppose I could write a contingency should we ask a proctor.

That reminds me, where was that list? @MMKII? I'm lazy :p

Um. Having trouble napping, so I'll just throw this out there for everyone else: Can someone look over this list and make sure @faflec and @huhYeahGoodPoint's plans have contingencies?

This list?

TBH I think we'd be best off just using Pangolin Authority (tm) to spare ISC. It'd be kind of shitty to use their signal to pinpoint them and then just KO them if they did that.
 
huhYeahGoodPoint said:
Okay. If we turn in literally every document, and the proctors don't count any except our own, can we make the tournament?

Blue would take -225 to our 185 (410 adv)

They might get 185 to our 50, or 35 to our -100, either way (275 adv)

If even one Blue crushes round 2, and we don't get any prisoners, that blue team and our round one allies likely go on to the finals (15 people) I presume they would stack a super team blue against a weak team red to ensure this.

Why are we not taking their word-halves, by the way? We need every advantage we can get here. If they surrender, their reward is not getting punched.

fiiiiine we won't punch them.

Also... JSYK, any techniques or seals we use in this event, everyone will know about for round 2 (and the tournament).

Fair, but we can't really afford to hold back without gambling our odds of reaching the tournament.

And, well, winning the tournament isn't really necessary, just by getting in we strut our stuff pretty well.
 
Alright. Barring discovering mission-critical information in the final hours of voting, I will be restricting this plan to cosmetic issues only.

I think that the proctors will choose to be slightly lenient on us claiming literally every document; in the real world mission this mission is supposed to simulate, of course you get further accolades for taking more classified documents, rather than it only counting for foreign villages. If nothing else, Jiraiya and the Minor Village kages can get some concessions for Mist's recognition that their Chunin Exam does not even remotely simulate the challenges of being Chunin.


huhYeahGoodPoint said:
Taking into account the feedback that's been given so far, here's Be Kakashi again. Best guess, the plan's around 380 words.

[X] Action Plan: Be Kakashi

Outline

Maximize point differential between our squad and everybody else by knockout and word-half seizure.

Prep
  • Convincing squadmates:
    • This strategy will get every single one of us into the tournament while also largely avoiding serious harm; overwhelming force is nice like that.
    • That said, cooperation is a favor to us, no matter how much it might also benefit you.
    • On the other hand, we cannot afford sudden but inevitable betrayals on our best chance at getting this whole squad to the tournament.
  • Word-halves
    • We'll publicly announce our squad has them during the break.
      • Too hard to hide we took them.
    • Will trade for full-strength explosive tags; they deserve something for their efforts.
    • Will not protect them if they refuse trade.
  • Designate friendlies
    • Will not knockout, intimidate, and steal word-halfs from friendlies, but will otherwise destroy their score and drain chakra as needed. Will require description.
      • Designate ISC.
      • If Doigama does not suggest Wolf compatriot, press.
  • Seal distribution
    • Do not want back:
      • Training tag
      • Weapon:2 for demolitions
      • Oxygen Mask Seal
      • Earmuff Seals
    • Will want unused back:
      • Goo Bombs
      • Banshees
  • Chakra redistribution
    • Suggest permitting Noburi to measure and redistribute as necessary
      • Chakra levels may be uneven after first event
      • Transfer method is strange the first few times
      • If intent is questioned, point out donated seals as collateral.
      • If Kato lied about reserves, press. If explanation is not sufficiently good, drain and leave with medics.
  • Brief squadmates on high-level opposition and facility layout.
    • Reveal bare minimum about Leaf teams.
Strategy:
  • Always scout ahead, prioritizing broad situation and avoiding capture.
  • Enemies:
    • Seize documents
    • Locked up
    • Terrified
    • Overdrained to moderate physical consequences
    • Have word-halfs taken
    • Dabbed with perfume behind ears.
  • Siege our Blue facility first
  • During redistribution, signal ISC and prioritize scouting other sites. Deliver documents in force.
  • Prioritize teams based on Keiko's calculations to maintain rampage
  • Redistribute and repeat after clearing site.
  • Do not revisit sites unless to drop off prisoners or insufficient point differential.
Combat Tactics: Shock and Awe
  • Open field:
    • Explosions to distract, intimidate
    • Area-disabling seals to weaken targets
    • Attack with overwhelming physical force
    • Infiltrators watch for retreating enemies and reinforcements
    • Chase fleeing enemies but don't waste time and chakra.
  • Siege
    • Breach from multiple directions simultaneously
    • Clear room by room, scout with tags
    • Seize key and documents
Contingencies
  • Enemy team blatant rule violation: fetch proctor.
  • Maintain OPSEC on pre-Leaf experiences.
  • Watch Doigama/Kato seal usages.

It's too late for your too-late comment as well:
  • If proctors won't be on-site all the time, how are they going to enforce the rules about severe injuries and about simulating T&I facilities?
  • If a Red Team turns in documents from another facility, who receives the points? Nobody? This Red Team? The Red Team assigned to that facility? Does the corresponding Blue Team lose points?
  • Are Blue Teams allowed to leave their T&I facilities? If yes, how far could they go?
  • Can Blue Teams send chakra constructs (clones, summons) to scout the territory around their facilities?
  • If a contestant withdraws to a medic, do they lose any points for that? Could they still gain positive points? Could they still lose points?
  • Can one of us climb a tree right now, to try and spot our facility?
  • If someone suffers a lasting injury this round, will they receive a penalty for this injury at the end of the next round as well?
  • For Blue Teams, does putting Red Team members into unconsciousness count as restraining them?
I added a few more, and deleted some very risky ones (one was a snarky comment about her leg, and another was about weather).
