Castle Game: Taisho Roman Revolution

[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?

We were stolen from, as expected. I strongly suspect pep!pep! gifted all of their materials to others. Wild City could not have achieved that number without gifts, stealing alone ought not have gotten them that much.

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

Of course they stole from us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

Yes, as we knew they would.

More importantly, Okami, who do you suspect Wild City would prioritize the safety of?

[ He seems pretty focused on the map, as if looking at it as a game board and game board alone will make him forget there are people within each castle ]

[furrytailprince]

Avante. Silver's brother.

1/2

[ then, after looking up and reminding himself Kaguya and Rei are both present: ]

We ought to take one unit from avante.

[sunflowering]

No. I disagree.

[ Butting in here... ]

We've... been doing better relationship wise with them. I don't think... we should take from Avante.

[syncintohell]

We have been over this before. Regardless of the unit we choose, there is someone on this unit who will object to it. Look at how many of us there are here, Kaguya! Any unit you name, someone here will object to!

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

... They barely have anything. Why not Bad End? Their position is more viable.

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

Because if we take from a unit that is gifted, we shall also get more units to save our castle. Should this work, we will have to take from less units over all in the final round. Read the first sentence of the fourth rule.

[ididntsaybanana]

Well . . . shit.

[furrytailprince]

We know we are not well liked.

[ididntsaybanana]

Fuck it and fuck my honor, let's steal to survive.

[artisticliberty]

That is quite a number for Wild City... they will more than likely be the targets of theft from this round on.

[syncintohell]

We ought not focus on them, but who they are likely to gift. They are one of the few units in a position to do so, now, along with Bad End.

[sunflowering]

But what just happened with Pep... this... they're going to definitely die at this rate. Is it even possible for them to make things up?

[ It's the one unit she cares the absolutely most about outside of their own... ]

[bloodyrose]

Depends if anyone will gift them this time. They'll otherwise need to steal.

[He gets this concern.]

[sunflowering]

Nova-chan, Wednesday-chan, and Cobalt...

[bloodyrose]

We just need to keep it together.

[syncintohell]

I would suspect not. The dearth of points they have indicates they gifted everything. If they get more points, I suspect they will only continue to gift them away. It looks as though they have chosen to save others, at the cost of themselves.

[sunflowering]

[Swallowing thickly, hands clenching.]

Those... stupid idiots.

[artisticliberty]

If they do, it may be the unit they were assigned for Talon's protection plan. But we can only speculate on that.

pep pep and Lilis seem likely targets for gifts, since they have the lowest points.

[syncintohell]

Would Bad End or Wild City truly extend a hand to pep pep? They seem to intentionally putting themselves into an unwinnable situation. I cannot believe they were stolen from three times within the first turn— they are not a unit with that many enemies.

Lilis, I believe, is more likely.

[artisticliberty]

I think you are right, that they intentionally gave their points away.

[seeing how distressed rei and kaguya are...]

What are we going to do this round?
