Castle Game: ☆ZRAEL

[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!)

Whoa, WILD CITY went all in...

[carnivorouscarnival]

How the fuck do you even get that high in round one??

Re: DISCUSSION

[avestan]

Either somebody gifted to them or they got lucky with who they stole from. Or maybe both?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

...Apparently. And what is pep!pep! doing...?

[shakes her head]

We have to steal more this time. This time BARiTONES, LiLiS and Taisho?

Re: DISCUSSION

[avestan]

Why LiliS? Wouldn't it make sense to steal from someone who has more points?

Re: DISCUSSION

[carnivorouscarnival]

Not really, right? Like I said before, people are more likely to send them sympathy gifts. And more likely to steal from the top contenders, thinking they've got the points to spare.

Re: DISCUSSION

[avestan]

Right, right. Makes sense.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah, we have a lot more chance of getting two by stealing from them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[avestan]

Then let's do that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stakesthesame]

[ uhhHHHHHHHH ]

-- oh crud, uh.

Re: DISCUSSION

[avestan]

I wonder who stole from us. It must've been two, right? BARiTONES and one other.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stakesthesame]

I... have no idea. Avante's low too...

Re: DISCUSSION

[avestan]

...We can't really afford to worry about the other units right now. Let's just look out for ourselves.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stakesthesame]

... yeah. So-- three, this time...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[avestan]

Yeah. Maki's suggestions are good by me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stakesthesame]

...

[ hesitates, just for a moment. ]

Yeah. Yeah, those are good.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ gives her a slight reassuring nudge ]

Hey, it's too early to freak out. The results being public like this means there's no predicting what'll happen next—for better or for worse.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stakesthesame]

[ leans against, a little .-. ]

... we're still pretty expendable, looks like.

I don't trust none of them, right now.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ puts an arm around her, as best he can with the extreme height difference ]

Two units stole from us, and one was basically a given... That's about how I was expecting we'd do. Nothing we can't recover from, not yet.

Re: DISCUSSION

[stakesthesame]

Here's hoping, anyway.

... just wish we knew what was gonna happen to the losers.
