Tiny Chat People

Some Discord thoughts amongst multiple people that I tried to sum up, correct me where I'm wrong:

"Secret diplomacy" plan of getting everyone allied is popular.
Basically, we convince Rein and Macaron, who seem to both want peace anyway? Ally Marzu to gain alliance with Grind, then ally with Macaron or Rein. Boom-- all 5 people are in an alliance and Wax has no team to go to but the biggest one.

Benefits:
- If it works, we just win. And no cats die.
- If it fails, but we go along with the 'subvert cats to go rogue' plan, this makes for some good street cred. We'd be the god who risked everything to try to save them, and the other gods would be the ones who refused to ally because of their own personal problems.

Flaws:
- This probably isn't the kind of adventure where this works.
- Allying Marzu is probably much easier said than done.
- If it fails, there's no going back. Getting cold feet midway through because we discover we're horribly misguided is not really feasible.
- If it fails, we might just get caught in an alliance we're really not fond of. Possibly against Wax.
- Even if there's some way to twist it so that cats like us more, Grind at the very least is going to hate us with absolutely no reservations. Grind probably already does but there won't be any doubt after this.

Wax ending up on an opposing team in an actual war in any scenario seems super super bad. Wax is going to be fucking good at this game. Wax probably already spawned the max number of TCPs and is gearing up for war. If we're going head-to-head with anyone, Wax on our side is a massive boon.

Trying the secret diplomacy plan might just make things very bad. I know the knife was really created in jest, like 'haha how about this dumb idea', and this plan isn't held in as much humor-- but it's still something that can go TERRIBLY wrong.

That doesn't stop me from liking it, but because I'm superbly indecisive, it makes me afraid to actually throw a vote towards doing it. Besides, we can't even think about doing it until we're sure everyone is at max TCPs, if I remember right. (Wax probably isn't wasting any time with this.)
