Castle Game: BAD END=DEAD END

[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!)

ROUND ONE

[idolpro]

[As of now, each nation's castle bears the same shape: a tiny, crumbling wooden castle, with an unwalled courtyard full of tents. Above each one hovers the number 0.]

.....This.... is going to go badly.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

... well, this officially sucks.

[fuck our lives, really]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya sighs as well. ]

Let's start off giving one to Lilis. We're... probably going to have to steal at some point though if we don't want to end up....

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

Yeah, no shit.

[Folds his arms; he's leaning up against the wall.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya sighs softly. ]

Well, at least we stand a slight chance of being able to protect ourselves.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

Maybe — maybe not. We've got that alliance we need to watch out for now, too.

If we want to keep it longer than one game, we'd better send something their way.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I would like to put it out there that I would like to steal three every round until we hit 10. Then we can gift to our heart's content.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Want to go hard, huh?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I'm not feeling particularly charitable, no.

But it is a unit decision, and I will respect the outcome.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

I'm fine with it as long as we honor our deal with Lilis.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

Only objection I have is keeping LiliS in mind.

Maybe gift them with ours in the last round if it doesn't look like we'll manage to get out unscathed.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I'm fine with that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

What about LiliS?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

They can be our second concern.

But let's see if we can't save ourselves first, shall we? Seeing as we are notoriously bad at that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

Pretty sure we're fucked no matter what. Least if we gift them something, it can't get stolen from us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Who do you want to target, then? Assuming that LiliS is off the table.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

That depends. Does the unit want to do it out of spite, or try to minimize the damage by selecting the units that will probably fair the best with gifts.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

Oh, for fuck's sake.

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ still reading these rules, but ]

Yeah, that's about right.

[justfuckingtryit]

So, how're we doing this?

DECISION

[idolpro]

[You have 3 bundles of materials with which to build up your castle. Your options are:

• Use your own materials, remaining neutral.


• Gift some your materials to another unit.


• Steal from another unit.

You may gift some or all of your materials, and may divide your gifts between more than one unit. You may steal from up to three units per round. You may not gift and steal in the same round. Any materials in your possession at the end of the round will be used to improve your castle's defense level.

The enemy will arrive after 3 rounds.]
