FORESIGHT=DEAD END

[idolpro]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in prison.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your team uniform 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.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you? Well, some of you just died of alcohol poisoning, actually.

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

...the person who called it on the downvotes is right. We can't lose at this point. It's time to do damage control.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

Yeah... I think I've been burned too many times by that kind of move to not be wary...

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

Let's see the results, at least.

If we're high enough, we can ease back some.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

[... yeah, that's never how it goes]

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

[Well, fuck]

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

I dunno why we're ever surprised, honestly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

You'd think would fucking learn.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

Hope springs eternal for some reason.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

Hope's godsdamn stupid.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

The results from last round haven't been announced yet. I wouldn't bet on anything until we see those-- especially since we didn't play as hard last round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

...mm. Yeah, I guess we'd better wait to see them, first.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

[looks at those results.]

Yeah, no.

We can definitely still lose. And we stupidly took on more risk this round anyway.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

...fuck.

You'd think I'd have learned by now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

... I just didn't want to think too hard about how fucked Avante got. There were a few I think coulda been Nero.

But-- it is what is. He said he was ok with anything as long as it wasn't mental.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

They're doing better this round, though, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

They're still losing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

...yeah. They've got a shot to turn it around, though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mind_blown]

They can manage it themselves.

I'dve rathered we kept playing hard.

And not send up more than one person every time.

[christ he's sick of teenagers.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Losing is always a possibility.

And honestly I kind of want to downvote that one for the attitude.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

Don't like the tone?

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Not even a little.

[especially with the score we just got, ok. She will happily downvote everyone, thanks]

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

...fuck.

Should have known.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. It’d be nice if we could rely on that kind of lead, but we can’t. And we put ourselves more at risk this time, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

I can see the numbers. Thanks.

[she shrugs. She wasn’t trying to be particularly harsh, but she’s just super jaded]
