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?


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

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?

[syncintohell]

[ He's gotten up to put his hand on Kaguya's shoulder, so he's noticed their distress, but

He's at a loss for what to do about it. Answering Fox is easier, for all that they're still making an awful choice. ]

Theft, if we wish to survive. And with the points we have lost already, it is best we chose are targets strategically.

[ididntsaybanana]

People will most likely gun for the ones who have the most points.

[syncintohell]

That is immaterial in the strategy of this war. We need to figure out who will be gifted this round, not who will be targeted.

[ididntsaybanana]

So who's popular enough to warrant stealing from?

[syncintohell]

I do not think, with the rest of the game as it is, popularity is the correct concern.

[ididntsaybanana]

Most likely not to be bussed, then.

[syncintohell]

Baron, look again at the first sentence of the fourth rule. We specifically need to target those that will be gifted.

[ididntsaybanana]

Shit, I misunderstood that.

[syncintohell]

It is no matter. We have made our decision.

[artisticliberty]

... very well. I'll agree to it.

I do not wish to further our odds with Baritones, but it may be worth considering.

[syncintohell]

. . . provided the other two units we target are avante and LiliS, I will not quarrel with that choice.

[artisticliberty]

[grimaces]

If your hunch about Lilis is incorrect, we will owe them a great deal.

[syncintohell]

If I am wrong, then we will protect them in the next game. After this, I will purchase the ability and write up the contract if I must. I swear this to you.

[artisticliberty]

You may have a difficult time convincing the others to agree to it.

But I will, at the very least.

[syncintohell]

If the others do not agree, then I do not have the right to force them. But I, at the very least, will lend my aid in arguing for their protection.

[artisticliberty]

This won't absolve us of any decisions we make. But... our hands are tied no matter what.

[syncintohell]

No matter what, we will have blood on our hands if we wish to survive. I have not forgotten.

If we have points to give in the final round, through some miracle, shall we attempt to make certain their punishment is at least not quite so harsh?

[artisticliberty]

If it will make a difference, yes.

[syncintohell]

Very well. I will lend you my voice for this, in the next round.

[sunflowering]

. . . If we have to pull, I'd rather it be Baritones, in the end.
