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?

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

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Then Lilis will be the first we give to once we've hit 10 or if it looks like they need help.

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

....I can agree to that. We should decide what units to steal from, then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Now you are asking the interesting question.

Do you want the spite answer? Or the answer where we try to steal with from those most likely to already be safe?

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

Why not go crazy, let's hear both.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

For spite, I'd say Wild City, but that would probably be political suicide. Who do you hate, Tatsuya?

As far as the winning streak in earlier games pep!pep! comes out the best. sensitIV also tends to keep their head above water more than most.

And with either option, I'd rather avoid any permanency for any unit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

I don't want to touch pep!pep!

Re: DISCUSSION

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Agreed. I'm not wild on hitting SensitIV, either. At least some of them actually give half a shit about us. Seeing as that doesn't seem to be a popular opinion, it's probably better if we didn't endanger that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

I'll agree with that. So far, some of them aren't completely shitty. Don't exactly want to scare them away.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Even if we do, they are the most likely to come out just fine.

When it comes to pep!pep! is anything less than no damage acceptable?

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

I'd rather keep it to none.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

In that case, we shouldn't be aiming for units that will likely give away theirs.

[so Heart Soldier Senshi is out]

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

So is what I'm hearing.

No to Lilis, pep, sensitiv, baritones, heart solider, wild city.

Yes to Azrael

No comment on avante, taisho, and alcheme. Oh, and Future is Now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

I also want to avoid permanency for anyone. ...You already know my biases for who I don't want to touch, but as for hate... I don't really hate anyone, honestly. But if I had to pick the team I care least about, it's Zrael or Baritones.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

... I've been working on a potential connection with Baritones, but I did tell them I can't guarantee being able to prevent playing on them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I'm actually getting fond of Baritones, myself.

But in general I have no strong preferences. I'm even fine with hitting sensitIV and alcheME. I want us to survive as well as we can.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Why not both?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

A husband after my own heart. I gave Tatusya my answer.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, okay. Sounds fair.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Do you have anyone you don't want to hit?

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

[She shrugs]

Hitting Wild City seems like a bad idea all things considered.

[You know what she's talking about, Nine]

And I like to avoid Pep pep. Other than that I don't care.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollwithdisadvantage]

It would be a political nightmare. I agree which is why I'm not pushing on that particular subject.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Okay. Makes sense.
