future is now

When the game starts, you find something grabbing onto your ankle and dragging you under the ballpit until you find yourself sitting on a disco floor platform with your team. It is only being held up by eleven balloons.

You make decisions on a cool arcade machine where you can SELECT A TEAM'S BALLOON. If a character is blind or has no hands or smth, you can assume things can be read to you and you can automatically pick through your speech. Thanks, Alexa.

If you look over the platform, you can see a lot of sparkling rainbow spikes below.

No indication of how other units are doing...

Guess we're in the dark. How are we going to play this round?

So we won't know what our actions do until someone actually dies.

Yeah. So can't worry too much. We have no way of knowing.

All we know is who we managed to hit. So we need to choose new units now.

Right. Intensity seems to know who he wants to hit.

Aah, we'll need to choose someone regardless.

And I guess next round two more.

Yes.

Not entirely in the dark. We were only selected once. If the majority of the teams played two or three balloons, I'd expect more, so maybe people are playing lightly... well, or we just weren't most people's first, second or third choice of enemy.

That's not a bad place to be. But people will get more desperate later.

Yes, if we really fall in most people's "neutral" band, we might be significantly worse off this round.

But next round people will know they're probably killing someone so they might rein themselves back in.

Also AlcheME! and pep!pep! didn't block. Or at least they didn't block our attempt.

I see no reason to not keep with this strategy to ensure we're above the 50% line in comparison to other units.
