Castle Game: LiliS

[idolpro]

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?]


(Rules & questions are here. Cleo is your gamerunner!)

You want to win. We are down to one with six coming to us. If anyone is gifting, they're doing it this round before they have to steal heavily in the next to save their own skin.

Yeah I do, and I know we're in danger, and that pep!pep! is in just as bad a spot as us. I'm fine with WILD CITY and BARiTONES or future is now, but not pep, John.

Then, you don't want to win; you want to get everything without anyone having to suffer. You've been here enough to realize that's not how it works here.

I'm not stupid. People are going to die because of what we do this round and next.

[ eyes narrow, anger building in the pit of her stomach though she doesn't give proper voice to it. ]

There's no other unit I want to avoid this time, and next round there won't be any I want to avoid at all. Literally, all I'm asking is not pep this one time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[theyregooddogs]

We have the most to gain from them. We don't have a choice.

Re: DISCUSSION

[phoni]

Of course we have a choice!

Re: DISCUSSION

[theyregooddogs]

Not when you want to win.

[ as gently as she can ]

It is cruel, yes.
But we owe a responsibility to the people of this castle, and to ourselves, to choose the soundest strategic choice.

The only way to receive more than one point from theft is to target a unit we can be sure will receive donations.

Re: DISCUSSION

[phoni]

I'm not going to nod and agree to do to them what's happened to us, strategy or not.
