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?

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

[neverbeentogeorgia]

Or gain the attention of those that are.

[ Lucifel.... ]

I'd be down with hitting Wild City or Azrael. ... Most of the units, actually.

[ he. doesn't have too too many strong connections, obvs. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Wild City is a bad idea. I'm willing to hit Zrael, though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

I'd be okay with Azrael.

Re: DISCUSSION

[motorcycle_noises]

I'm fond of several of them myself.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

They helped out a couple of times, when they didn't have to. That's worth something.

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

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Very well. I'm not going to push on a unit. I don't care. As far as I'm concerned all of them are on the table from my point of view --- well, except Lilis. Alliance and all.

I'd really like to see us come out of this one with no injuries.

Re: DISCUSSION

[justfuckingtryit]

We'll see what we can do. I think you're a little optimistic, though.

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]

No to AlcheME.

Re: DISCUSSION

[criminaljustice]

Taisho is an "I'd rather not but in a pinch, maybe yes" from me. I have a boyfriend there.

[yes yes he knows. him and Taishos. always a problem.]

--I mean, I have a boyfriend on AlcheME, too, but we've done the murder thing more often.

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

[motorcycle_noises]

I'd prefer not to hit them unless we know for a fact they're doing okay.

Re: DISCUSSION

[searingedgelord]

Why not both?

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