Kidnap some civilians, then throw them in the general area of the chakra beasts. Works 100% of the time.

Hold up if this is the spirit of the plan would this instead work:
Not the most time-efficient way: we should throw ourselves at them instead!

@faflec I dont really see Jellos concerns as super concerning: this is not binding on our end. Just serves to narrow the space of possible enemy actions.(Which is MORE beneficial to us even if we did hard precommit by the way, since we just set up above paths to be turned into killzones at the drop of a hat.)
Your next edit is fine.

Ain't no rule that we can't bring extra people into the event area.
Just saying.

Perhaps something closer to:
- Analyse combat capabilities:
- VD check elemental affinities.
- Consider equipment, physique.
- Shikamaru & Keiko: build full profiles using all available information.
Maybe at least scout out what chakra beasts live there? Perhaps we could make use of some of them (or their parts), one way or another.

Noburi will also suggest running everyone through an Earbuster, so you can assume that everyone who wasn't on your team or ISC's team will have the Mild Consequence "Partial Hearing Loss". (Turns out most people still have a reasonable degree of hearing after getting a ruptured eardrum.)
I'll check.
It's up to@Velorien how much time he wants to cover in this update.

I'm gonna change it if that's fine; I don't wanna make people precommit to using strategies that we don't want to counter-precommit to.
something something get the Hokage involved something something WW4
This seems reasonable. But I'd point out that Shikamaru would be able to predict that we got affinity information from VD, which is an OPSEC breach. Will not add that part.
This is still super-time consuming, given that we didn't appear to have encountered any chakra beasts in the area (and it's supposed to be an old training ground, so there probably aren't any around anyway. I don't think it's a good use of our time.

As per EJs comment: Earbuster everyone?

Is it a safe assumption that Partial Hearing Loss would provide a penalty to initiative given that it would directly impact awareness?
- Location
- Yes.
Yeah, saw that as I posted my thing. Added.

I like it. GMs have ruled that it's a Mild consequence and acceptable in the rules of the Exam, and we need every initiative advantage we can get.

Noburi: "I mean, we aren't monsters,"
Well said. Only Noburi is a monster, clearly. Kabuto-sensei would be proud.

It's funny you mention that actually, because now that I'm thinking about it, I can't actually think of one RPG system where initiative isn't a god-tier stat to ahve.

I'm inclined to disagree with that. Shikamaru has an opportunity to shape STR's strategy into one specifically vulnerable to our strategy. It's a massive advantage; we shouldn't squander it just because we think we may come up with a better one.
Maybe agree on some signals we could send during the break day, which would mean that strategy has changed (and detailing natures of these changes?).
Fair enough.
Awesome! Maiming unconscious prisoners, woo! Too bad we weren't able to have Gomi experiment on them.

That did come out a little blunter than I'd intended.
Hazo does needs to get better about thinking of people in more than functional terms, it's true. On the other hand we the hivemind are trying to change the world for the better. To do that we can't really afford to stop thinking about how people can help us with various problems. That's not to say that we shouldn't still treat people well, doing our best to ensure their feelings of happiness, belonging and self-actualization of their own goals. We should do that too, because it helps build bonds and it's the right thing to do.

- Yes.
Alright, some minor changes:
I'm iffy on predetermined signals, we aren't likely to meet with them during the break and throwing up explosives during the 2hr time is...risky. I'll think on this.
- Re-added the seal list to be focused on making LBF/Goo Bombs/5SB. If you have thoguhts on this, ping me.
- Moved the re-drain section up, and otherwise clarified it.
Right, but me writing "steer ISC to using these tactics" should have the same effect, right?

...Is this true with respect to substitution?Just remember. An unconscious target is always considered willing.

ISC or STR? But yes, seems fine.

I'm against this. We are at or over the limit of socially acceptable harm. Also I don't want to hurt these teenagers more than we already have.
I am willing to replace slit heels with ruptured eardrums, but never both to the same person.
I still prefer slit heels. If we blow the eardrums of 50 teenagers, how many will suffer permanent hearing loss? Right now we have the respect of every Kage. I think this jeopardizes that.
- Location
- Yes.
ISC, since they are leading STR and we're trying to convince them to steer them to using the tactics. Talking to STR makes it sound like we're telling Shin to do these things
If we were good at keeping this sort of thing on the down low we would never have gotten caught in the tunnel during the Fourth Event. Possible, but....
But the...QMs...suggested it?
I dunno. I'm keeping it for now, but am willing to be convinced. For the record, I still think we're fine in terms of socially acceptable harm.
