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?

The same could be send of Bad End. They could either be targetted or gift their resources this round.

I think we should go after someone middling like SensitIV.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I agree.

[resonantblue]

No objections. They are on our list.

[asonoficeandfire]

That's all right with me.

[justpure]

I only have one question about this arrangement.

Suppose more than three units target SensitIV. What then?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I would assume it means one of the units doesn't steal a resource. Though the rules aren't clear about how that is decided.

[justpure]

[assume Medusa said 4 instead of 3]

They aren't... I don't know if whoever made this game thought of that route.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[In my head, I read it as 4, so we're on the same wavelength]

Of course they did. It adds a layer of strategy. Is there a point in stealing if you don't get anything.

[justpure]

No, not at all.

[nohalation]

Okay.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Sees Bad End drop down to 4.

Great, that means than they are in second place]

Any changes to how we do this?

[resonantblue]

[—!]

No changes. Silence is still confident with this choice.

[nohalation]

I'm okay...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

We should steal two. Maybe Taisho again...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That concerned about us getting targeted?

[A pause]

And I assume you mean one from each.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Yes, one from each.

[justpure]

Tashio is at level two, they would realize someone is stealing their supplies if we kept stealing from them.

If we do steal two, it should be one from two units.

[resonantblue]

Even if they realize someone is stealing their supplies, there is nothing they can do about it. Let them realize it.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

They obviously already know they're being stolen from. There's no way for them to tell it's the same unit more than once.

[justpure]

Ku ku ku...

Someone must have miscounted...

At any rate, I still think Wild City is a viable option.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Wild City is still a stupid option.

[justpure]

Hm...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's on our second tier avoid list. We exhaust our other options first.

[justpure]

Very well, then.

[asonoficeandfire]

I would prefer if we didn't target Wild City.
