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?

Danger round?

[also Taisho what...]

Re: DISCUSSION

[same feel]

The round before we are attacked. Is it just me, or... is this an expected turn of events?

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

It is.

Re: DISCUSSION

[resonantblue]

And why is pep!pep! giving everything away?

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

It seems that's how they decided to play.

Re: DISCUSSION

[resonantblue]

Do they hate themselves?

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

I don't know, but they're being reckless. Heart Soldier Senshi will probably gift them points, but if no one else does, both of those teams will end up with very few points overall. We don't know what the consequences are, only that it's worse the lower you get.

Re: DISCUSSION

[resonantblue]

[nods]

It is far too reckless.

[hm]

...I wonder who on pep!pep! is playing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

Mm... they're all sort of that kind of person, I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[resonantblue]

Someone who thinks little of themself?

Because that is one person I am thinking of, and if they are all like that, I am extremely concerned.

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

No, self sacrificing. It doesn't particularly mean they think poorly of themselves. They put others before themselves. I can understand the mindset, but in this situation...

Re: DISCUSSION

[resonantblue]

What could anyone gain from doing that to themselves?

They are not even watching out for each other.

If I were to submit future is now to that... I would still be watching those I care about die.

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

Yes. In this case, it's just reckless.

Re: DISCUSSION

[resonantblue]

I will have to question their idiocy later.

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

That could be an idea. If they'll listen is another thing, though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[resonantblue]

Sometimes the point is not to make someone change their way of thinking, but to instead force them to spend their time listening to what you have to say.





Though it would be nice if they would listen to a sensible suggestion.

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

Not a lot of people are sensible in these kind of games.

Re: DISCUSSION

[resonantblue]

...

[HUFFS!!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

[pretty much, yes]
