[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack

You're wearing raggedy/a regular/fancy versions of your uniform/servant uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME%, in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh. Don't you remember something about that, actually?

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

Thank you.

Re: ROUND 2

[devilmightcare]

No problem.

You got a preference for how we wanna play this out?

Re: ROUND 2

[backstory]

I'm incredibly angry right now but I am also unsure if we can make it outside of this game with how low we already are. Unless it resets?

[ Nnngg ]

I do not want to stoop to the level of others. And furthermore, at least we...can heal. The other units who are getting hit right now do not have that luxury. So even if we switch tactics, it will hurt those who have been playing kindly.

Re: ROUND 2

[devilmightcare]

Yeah -- m'not happy either. But the idea of playing along with the game the way the others have been doing ...

That doesn't sit well with me either.

. . . I understand that frustration and feeling.

[ He sighs. ]

I'm annoyed. At the same time, I know that others are trying to protect their unitmates and live as well. So it is hard to hate someone for wanting to survive, too. Even if every unit plays kindly, there will be the same amount of casualties each round.

[ nods ]

I think, at this point -- I'd rather we start with the downvotes. At least give us a fighting chance.

Re: ROUND 2

[backstory]

I will not argue with the rest of the unit on this. After all, you have all suffered-

[ As he stands here in just a jacket ]

So it is only right that you have a say in changing tactics.
