Castle Game: future is now

[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!)

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.

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

I will have to question their idiocy later.

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

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.
