Castle Game: future is now

[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!)

[Medusa has been hanging in the back for some time, like an observer. and not the victim of a player who was late to the game rip

He is considering their options now that they have chosen to steal... But from whom? He doesn't want to seem like he's a fool, but he does want to contribute.]

I suppose... We could steal one from Tashio Roman Empire... Hm.

[resonantblue]

No objections. Taisho was on my mind as well.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I also have no objections.

...

Did they do something to upset you, Medusa?

[justpure]

No, nothing to make me look down on them as a whole.

[Shu is an outlier and should not be counted.]

I was simply trying to pick a unit who wouldn't be affected as much.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Shu is a national treasure!]

What makes you say that? I'm curious.

Haven't really gotten a feel for their newer arrivals.

[justpure]

[National treasure shouldn't call you a heathen for voicing an unpopular opinion.]

Newer arrivals?

[Slight headtilt.] Sorry, I wasn't aware of them.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You wouldn't. Since you're one of the newest people here.

[justpure]

... That does make sense.

Anyhow, I was speaking purely from a strategic perspective, not a personal one.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And I'm asking why you think they wouldn't be as affected as much since Taisho does not have a great track record.

[justpure]

... Ah.

I... Was not aware of that.

[He feels he made a mistake... No, the others agreed.]

I suppose in this round, the choice was completely random. Aside from the units we've chosen to spare, of course.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Random is fine.

Some of our previous members used to chose through dice, after all.

[justpure]

[He nods.]

I'll wait for the others to voice their opinions...

[... He turns to speak with Silence.]

This must be one of the crueler games, yes?

[resonantblue]

Absolutely.

Remember: continue voicing your opinions and supplying your input. We are all equals. As Intensity has told me before, we all need to decide together and work together.

[justpure]

[Another nod.] I shall do my best to help everyone here.
