    • For a moment, you lash out against the incoming swarm of opponents. But there's too many of them. You are like an ant struggling against the tide. It quickly becomes clear that you're fighting a losing battle. All your work will be rendered for nothing.

    There's only one thing you can do. Hit the buzzer and end your turn.

    But that doesn't mean you can't take them down with you.

    Your right hand reaches for the back of your bandanna, only to find your maid headdress instead. Ah. Right. That should work too.

    In an instant, half a dozen spinning headdresses fly from your hand, followed by another half dozen from the other. Their targets: the nearest buzzers.

    The maids ignore the headdresses as they pass by them. You grin maliciously as you watch them seek out the buzzers. Only for the headdresses to all veer off course just before reaching their targets.

    For a moment, you're dumbstruck. And then you realize what just happened. It seems obvious in hindsight. You've been using your bandanna as a projectile for years. The specifics of aiming and throwing it are carved deep into your muscle memory.

    You've been wearing this headdress for about 20 minutes. It's shaped differently and is less aerodynamic.

    A single buzzer sounds: your own, having been close enough that you hit it despite the difference between your bandanna and the headdress.

    Nevertheless, the maids take the sound like a slap in the face. For an instant, they all freeze in place, before collectively turning toward their own buzzers. At which point they let out a collective sigh of relief at the sight of your headdresses lying nearby, but not on, their buzzers.

    Still, it seems like you gave them a bit of a wake-up call, as they swiftly begin retreating to their respective areas. You let out a grunt of frustration as the maids begin cleaning their own areas (and in several cases, looking for their missing trash cans, which Ranma seems to have been collecting while everyone was distracted). Still, there's nothing you can do but wait out the last 30 seconds or so of the contest.

    ...Well, you suppose there is one thing.

    Dignity? is that even a Thing?

    Dignity.

    We're wearing a maid outfit and competing in this competition for the sole purpose of not letting Ranma win it without a fight.

    Dignity is somewhere else. We lost it waaaaaaaay back in the day. Like, during junior high.
     
    ... And that's why deciding to press our buzzer at the same time as theirs to end the competition fairly was a stupid idea.

    Dignity is for people who aren't Ranma 1/2 characters.
     
    Different Stuff(TM) would have happened and we would still be in the competition. Why Did people vote to effectively disqualify ourselves? (Based on how the previous update Ranma and Shampoo were trying so hard to hit our buzzers and we decide to hit everyones buzzers. Oh, and our own as well for the sake of fairness. Can't be cleaning if everyone else is finished.)

    Item the first: We were ahead in cleanliness (hence the mob attacking us), so if everyone got buzzed out then we'd finish ahead in cleanliness.

    Item the second: Points are awarded for speed as well as thoroughness, so an early finish is good as long as the area's actually been cleaned.

    Item the third: If we're the only person still in the competition, we're the only target. The only way for the mob to improve their relative positions is to screw us over.

    Item the fourth: Why are you only bringing up your objections after the update happened? What are you trying to accomplish here? We can't go back and undo it, and the "I told you so" thing doesn't work so well if you did not, in fact, tell us so.
     
    [X] Mention loudly that the red haired maid has a lot of trash.
    -[X] She has been stealing the trashcans!

    No need to disqualify ourselves.

    Just sic them all on him. Just like he did to us.

    Again, we just pressed our buzzer, and everyone just went back to cleaning normally.
    Should have suggested that last update because we have disqualified ourselves while trying to disqualify everyone at the same time and made everyone more immediately focused on their area.

    Setting a Table is my suggestion.
