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!)

[ 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!

[sunflowering]

I don't care! The one unit I had wanted to save doesn't have a chance at survival now. We're trying to get along better with Avante,I don't want to ruin that if it can be prevented!

[syncintohell]

It will not ruin anything! Their unit and our unit have not agreed to a ceasefire! If you wish for one, then we can negotiate that afterwards!

[ This is easy for him to argue, because regardless of how much there is between him and Tsukinaga— Leo is not the whole of avante. He can still remember there are those there that he does not care to spare, when they have not been kind to his friend. ]

[sunflowering]

Shu! There are other units that we could still target outside of them! Why not Azrael? Targetting Avante after they came over to visit due to some of their trust in you leaves the worst taste in my mouth!

[syncintohell]

Because I also have someone I am close to on ☆zrael! You ask me to exchange the life of one precious to me for another? No matter what I choose I am turning my back on someone whom I should not! If I must, at the very least let it do some good in the process!

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.

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

If Avante is not gifted, you will endanger the person who saved your life...

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

[ closing his eyes and inhaling

then opening them again ]

I will. As I did last time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

We have other options. We can take from Baritones. Or even Zrael. People are just as likely to gift Zrael. Maybe moreso.

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

Fox has also suggested BARiTONES. But who, precisely, is in a position in which they can afford to gift ☆zrael that would also do so? And bear in mind I also owe Requiem a great deal. There is no good choice to be made!

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

Heart Soldier would.

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

They are not in a position to do so. With only four points of their own, if they plan to survive, they too must be considering theft this round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[furrytailprince]

You are certain survival is their priority?
