@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Did Kagome gave us enough 5SB to account for the gold we took out in event 3?

I'd guess that its for the extra versatility and the possibility of jutsu combos, though I do agree with you that only ninjutsu specialists would get maximum benefit from this; after all, Kakashi is famous for having Jutsu from all five elements

[X] Action Plan: Retroactive Partying
- Run plan through Keiko/Noburi.
- Maintain OPSEC (handsigns/Air Dome).
- Don't jeopardize Round 2.
- Stick together.
- To enemies:
- Run them through Earbuster (Mild Consequence).
- Empty enemy Wakahisa barrels.
- Analyse combat capabilities, build profiles:
- VD-check affinities.
- Study equipment/physique.
- Get ISC's input (securely).
- Put stolen word-halves in Seventh Path.
- Dab perfume on them + equipment.
- Re-drain some prisoners to refresh unconsciousness near end of round.
- Priority targets: Wakahisa, social specs, intelligence bloodlines, Team Kurenai...
- Collaborate with ISC to determine priority targets.
- Pangolins:
- Maybe unsummoning some (Pandojuru, Pangaya), reducing chakra drain.
- Summon Paneru: Case locations + brainstorm suitable R2 defenses.
- Possibly requisition materials (for defenses). Pay with 5SB/gold (keep OPSEC in mind).
- Deliver prisoners to ISC.
- Pretend to "honor ransom terms" (story for eavesdropping proctor).
- Talk with ISC: UNDER AIR DOME/IN CODE to avoid proctor suspicion of conspiracy.
- Confirm details to keep story straight.
- Brainstorm: How do we help make anti-Gōketsu alliance?
- Should we act super-confident or 'try' to undermine alliance?
- Threaten to burn word halves so they'll fight us (?).
- Strongly suggest steering STR to assault in two groups: through "safe" aboveground path + underground.
- Intent: Limit attack vectors to those we can counter.
- Would seem advantageous to STR: Avoids sealmaster's prepared ground.
- R2 prep:
- Brainstorm plausible attacks/defenses.
- Chop up + seal logs for Pandamonium to throw.
- Case locations with Pangolins for: tunneling defenses, Pangolin counterattack/ambush vectors, effective defensive artillery fire....
- See if we can get some Pangolin paint (for 5SB).
- Make seals as time permits (LBF, Goo Bombs, 5SB...).
- Test implosion seal anti-underground effectiveness/nonlethality (use clones).
- Don't drink if possible, we have work to do during the 'break' day.
- Socialize!
- Jiraiya calls the shots.
- Teammates:
- Want to stay in touch.
- Worked really well as a team.
- (Subtly) Mention value of working relationship with Hokage's children.
- Jiraiya:
- Comment on growing legend, subtly discuss how to leverage (build/maintain reputation).
- Ask if he wants us to remove Team Kurenai from tournament (goad Kiba?).
- If Hana comes, maybe tell a story (OPSEC-sanitized).

For tomorrow, actually.
Sure.
Oh, he sent some explosives, too, because he's Kagome and why would you put *brownies* in a care package when you could put explosives? Coincidentally, he sent the exact number that you expended in this round. The fact that this means I don't have to figure out how many that was and then update your character sheets has nothing to do with anything.

Don't forget that we can start moving Hazou to grow as a person by having him talk about his feelings with those around him that he trusts. Please add these items; making an effort to be emotionally mature and remain friends with Akane. Much the same way that we built the habit of dispelling I would like to start that process now.

- Yes.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Are the proctors using the same locations for round 2 as staging grounds? I ask this because it's suggested but not outright stated.
We're going to a strip club with Jiraiya. What are the odds Hazou will talk about Akane?
@faflec I assume the plan should include our objectives for the rest day as well. That means Hazou should make seals (?), with Keiko and Noburi taunting our opponents to enact Shikamaru's plan.

Hazou will either become a melancholy drunk and spew out how horrible he feels about everything, or clam up and refuse to think about Akane at all.

Naturally.
My plan as-is is meant to cover from <when we finished winning R1> to <the morning after Jiraiya's party>. Which should still leave us ~12 hours before the next round in this Event.
Please let me know if it doesn't seem like this, I too do not want a misinterpretation to fuck us.

5SB should be on that list of seals.
Possibly use ratios instead of ordinal priorities. Does 4-2-1 sound right?
Do you want to ask about the order of people waking up?

This was already confirmed to be done. No need to waste words on it.
Hazou would be better positioned to determine which seals he should be making more of, based on him knowing the state of his loadout and the strategies being discussed with the group.

Could we please get a confirmation as to where next update is going to end?

I don't think we need confirmation that it ends at a specific time so much as we want confirmation that it ends by a specific time.

This cuts out a pile of things in the ISC spot where Im telling Shikamaru to precommit to tactical maneuvers instead of us going in blind.
Edit: Also loses specification on tbe seals.

Yeah, I wanted to talk about that...why are we mutually precommiting to these tactical maneuvers? Especially the underground one, when we have implosion seals to counter underground approaches but are making an argument for not using them.

Not immediately relevant, but of note for R2:
We need a contingency if one of our prisoners planned for the case they got captured and has a surprise ready. We can't relax and let our guard down.
While providing ISC with pangolins for their assault on other bases improves our force projection (act according to Keiko's wishes, not ISC's), seals should be limited to the essentials. No macerators, PMYF, ... for Shikamaru to evaluate and develop counters for the tournament.
OPSEC against ISC is just as important as with anyone else.

@faflec your plan seems to be lacking in social shenanigans. Think we should conspire with Shikamaru on how we want to get people to react plus game plan an attack. Also should probably talk to Jiraiya about advice on how to present ourselves to best leverage our growing legend. We also should probably invest in creating a long term relationship with the rest of our round 1 team
- Location
- Yes.
I am not good at social shenanigans and so did not include them in the hopes that people would be willing to make detailed suggestions. Your suggestions are good (discuss how we contribute to the R2 attack; presentation with Jiraiya; cultivate relationships with Red Team One), but I'm not so comfortable with writing just that, would rather have some detail before adding.

Because we want the enemy to come along pre-arranged vectors of attack that we can counter as opposed to them doing whatever and us being unable to stack the deck defenses wise besides generally?
If we know exactly where they will be coming from this is an enormous tactical boon.
Having half tunnel in does two things:
1) Splits them up
2) Wastes Earth teams chakra.
As Panashe has demonstrated she can trivially detect anyone loudly tunneling toward us underground in a group of ~10 people. Have Paneru set up some defenses to slow them down and we can trivially take out a group of 10 people in a tunnel: one earbuster thrown in from above does the trick.( Mook Teammate #4 can do it.)
