[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

[ cool this is an excellent first game to ever have ]

. . . . No matter how I look at these tiles, they're all. . .

This is... bad...

[bevoted]

... ... .... .... I don't know how much I believe all of this. But the clock is ticking, and the best way to protect ourselves is to play the highest piece, I think.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[forgottenmercy]

...extremely bad. [violence is one thing. clean, fast death. but this is not that.]

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[rollwillpowercheck]

That's--

[takes a deep breath. ok. okokok.]

In terms of strategy, yes. After all, we can... reattach... it later. But I don't...

[sancrimony]

. . . Uhm . . . I think it is unfair to charge healing prices to a unit that we've hurt . . .

[ this is absolutely the priority conversation that should be happening here ]

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[artificialinelegance]

Thanks, I hate it!

[ guess who turned her emotions back on just in time, ]

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[artificialinelegance]

I'm gonna shit. Really, we gotta do this?

[rollwillpowercheck]

[gives a jerky nod]

... I was just thinking the same thing.

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, agreed.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

You don't want to hurt the other teams. [ understanding. ... honestly, it's still hard to fully process this. ]

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[sancrimony]

Ah -

[ opening his mouth to protest at first, before closing his mouth. then, he speaks again, slowly ]

. . . Mathematically, so long as we're in the higher bracket it would work the best. Anything that is . . . mm . . .

Anything higher than a five will give us a higher likelihood of being accepted than not.

[bevoted]

I don't care about charging prices if the alternative is anyone on this team getting hurt.

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[sancrimony]

. . . I wonder if we can expect this kind of trend. . .

Re: Round 1 Discussion

[sancrimony]

. . . Technically, we could abstain.
