PLOTTING POST 2.0: ELECTRIC KILLING BOOGALOO

By popular demand and also to make things easier for everyone concerned, here is a second plotting post whereby all Holy Grail War participants can plot out how and when they want to kill each other! If you'd like to have your character kill or be killed during the event, please use this space to plot to your heart's content.

As a reminder, when the time comes to actually start a thread where a death will happen, please inform either Meg or myself so that we can keep everyone else up to date with events. Happy plotting!

All right, I'm not sure where in this thread to comment so I'll reply here again, haha. So far, my understanding of the plan is for Erwin to make his sudden surprise attack, possibly/probably with an ally attacking another safe house at the same time, then withdraw, then for the Shingekis to group/regroup and go after him? (And I am perfectly up for alterations to this plan.)

He would likely try to strike as quickly and mercilessly as possible. He also might send Link alone and avoid putting himself in physical danger initially, utilizing his Servant's strength as a shield.

But first I want to see what ideas Link's player has, of course!

Fox, my experience is that usually a tagline of THE PLAN THUS FAR etc. in the comment title helps grab attention.

Also since the discussion seems to be focusing on killing Erwin, if he sends Link solo then we'd need to know how one is connecting Link w/ being Erin's servant (UNLESS I have missed this information and people already know. It is probable.)

THE PLAN THUS FAR BY WHICH I MEAN MY PREVIOUS COMMENT IS THE PLAN

[humanwelfare]

OH yes, I'm sure they can figure out Link is Erwin's Servant any number of ways--if nothing else, Hange is suspicious that something seems odd about Erwin following their conversation and would be observing him or asking others to, so I am 100% sure she knows, at least.

That sounds good to me! Ideally, once any of the shingekis finds out Link (and by extension, Erwin) is behind the attack, they would go over their opinions and ultimately decide that something needed to be done. (I mentioned dividing the team into distract Link+kill Erwin, but any suggestions are a-ok!)

They'll want to talk first, of course, and I can volunteer Jean for that since his Agility is very high, and he can Disengage if things get too dicey. Once words fail, then they'd initiate a full attack? Whatever works for everyone, really!

Organization wise, splitting the thread might be a really good idea - managing the action can get really difficult and confusing. I'll link you to how we ended up organizing Davesprite's send off, because we're finding that breaking stuff down into do-able chunks where there's only two or three people tagging per thread helps with getting things done faster and know who is supposed to do what

[honestguy]

hmmm yeah we'll probably wind up having to do something like that once we iron out more details. I'm willing to wait on Pam to see what her stance is on Mikasa's involvement, but getting something started like this would be amazing and organized and wow you guys *o*

[gordianknots]

I borrowed the structuring from a friend of mine when we did a much smaller scale grail war (seven players total). I figured with a much bigger community and everyone being everywhere at once, it was still pretty relevant.

A lot of ironing out details pretty much spells out thread order too, which is useful as fuck.

[humanwelfare]

YES I would love for Jean and Erwin to talk, especially since, as you said, their opposing views are very interesting, and it would be awesome to do something with that.

Dividing up also seems like a good idea, strategically as well as making for greater ease of threading--Link is a strong Servant but Erwin is an ordinary squishy human--and I really want a 3DMG fight...

[honestguy]

IT'D BE GREAT especially once Jean loses his patience with sticking to his rank, he'll just disagree with Erwin so much

That's what I was thinking, too. A 3DMG fight would be amazing, especially since that's Jean's "rider" ability so unfortunately you're going up against magically-enhanced 3DMG, Erwin, it might not be totally fair but it'll be awesome
