Aha, you're not wrong! But don't you think they have targets painted all over them?

If we go for them and get blocked, we risk literally anyone else going down. Someone from Pep-Pep, getting on Wild City's bad side. . .or even being forced to eat Maki herself.

I don't think you'd want that.

Re: DISCUSS

[afailedmurder]

Of course I don't want it. But a redirected attack is something we'll be able to explain and justify later. We can't say that if we attack people intentionally. Besides which, everyone will be thinking along the same lines; at least some of them will try to attack somewhere unpredictable, which means we risk being redirected no matter where we target.

It's a risk I am willing to take. Statistically speaking, the odds I'll end up eating Maki are significantly lower than the odds that I'll drive her mad if we abstain.

Re: DISCUSS

[neigh_sayer]

As surprisingly tactically sound as that is, I don't want to justify myself, and make Zrael think even less of us than they do now.

I'll go with it if the others agree, but I'll also present another possibility. If you think going for a team none of us cares about is a good option, what about the opposite? Which is to say. . .

Re: DISCUSS

[neigh_sayer]

Bad End would be the perfect target. They wouldn't even be mad about it, and you know it.

Re: DISCUSS

[afailedmurder]

...No, I don't suppose I can argue otherwise with a straight face.

I would still prefer to attack ZRAEL.

Re: DISCUSS

[neigh_sayer]

Then a tie breaker!

Heeeey, brothers! Who to pick?

Someone from Zrael, who no one here has any attachment to, and all we stand to gain is further targeting from them in the future! But it's a higher risk of getting blocked and sent to a random person

Or Bad End! A team we're definitely closer to, but we could talk it out afterwards. The choice is yours!

[liftoft]

The second one.

Re: DISCUSS

[holdhandsandsing]

I have no "preference", so I would be fine with going with "C's" pick.

[so bad end for him I guess]

[honoraria]

[stop making J make decisions]

Zrael.

[neigh_sayer]

So three for Bad End, two for Zrael. That's democracy for you.

So who's going down?

[ nudges gently with an elbow ]

Hey, if you're mad at us I wanna hear about that too, y'know?

[afailedmurder]

I am slightly upset that someone who has absolutely no knowledge of any of these people has been granted a vote.

[liftoft]

Yeah, that's fair. I am part of your unit now though and to tell you the truth, I woulda voted that way even if I knew 'em. Bad shit happens, but what's important is what you do about it afterwards. If these people are our friends, then we'll just have to talk to them.

[holdhandsandsing]

...Let's pick one "randomly", maybe?

[neigh_sayer]

Random, random, random!

[WHO COULD IT BE???]

well he is holding the phone, so. Still holding it up, N runs his finger down the list in a way so that he can't see where he's pointing. Not that he knows any of these guys anyway]

Re: DISCUSS

[afailedmurder]

We can't be friends with every team and I don't want to be friends with jibbering maniacs. We already leave Wild City alone for your and B's sake.

Re: DISCUSS

[neigh_sayer]

I didn't say I wanted to be friends, I said I don't want us to be targets.

Re: DISCUSS

[afailedmurder]

No, you just have us going after the one team who least deserves it from us.

[JESUS CHRIST C I FINALLY MADE UP WITH BOSS]

Re: DISCUSS

[neigh_sayer]

Do they. . .?

So the other teams who have suffered, or get targeted all the time deserve it more? What about the people on their teams who don't deserve it? What about the people who will come after us outside of a game? Like Zrael. B isn't even here, but do you think that'll stop them from holding a grudge and going after him?

I'm picking Bad End because we trust them. If they're smart, they'll do the same. Maybe not us, but another team they know won't freak out. Isn't this what you wanted us to do with that flowers game. . .?

Well, too late now. You can put all the blame on me, I don't mind.

Re: DISCUSS

[afailedmurder]

There are plenty of rational teams that wouldn't hold a grudge against us. Pep pep or Heart Soldier Senshi come to mind. But we can't have that, can we? You can argue logic and strategy all day, but it's obvious you just want to make sure it's not your or B's pretty little friends getting attacked, so I don't see the need to debate this further.

And don't worry. I will.
