Castle Game: Heart Soldier Senshi

[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?

ROUND TWO

[idolpro]

[As everyone's decisions are made, the castle models on the map change. The current castle levels are:

LiliS - level 1
sensitIV - level 3
pep!pep! - level 0
Taisho Roman Revolution - level 2
BAD END=DEAD END - level 6
future is now - level 5
WILD CITY - level 8
☆ZRAEL - level 2
Heart Soldier Senshi - level 4
AlcheME! - level 3
avante en garde - level 2
BARiTONES - level 5

WILD CITY has mid-size castle with rough stone walls. Their courtyard is full of wooden buildings.

BAD END=DEAD END, future is now, Heart Soldier Senshi, & BARiTONES have small castles with wooden walls. Their courtyards are full of shacks.

LiliS, sensitIV, pep!pep!, Taisho Roman Revolution, ☆ZRAEL, AlcheME!, & avante en garde have tiny, crumbling wooden castles. Their courtyards have no walls, and consist only of tents.

Your castle is level 4. Outside, the citizens are terrified. They're very quiet, aside from the sobbing:

Surely, we're done for. Why does it have to end like this?!]

[ Just taking a moment to stare at the results in HORROR, SORRY. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

[ ....Oh no. ]

Earth to King?

[ She knows what that look is forrrr.... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Thinking back on what Cobalt and Yugi said after the last bad game... ]

... I wouldn't be surprised if pep!pep! has chosen to give all of their bundles away each round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

[ ... a one armed hug for King. ]

That's a little worrisome.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Thanks Prim... just kind deflates in her hold. ]

I could still be wrong, but -

Maybe that's just what they decided they would rather live with.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

[ Prim is here!! To support!! ]

Then for the sake of things...I hope you are wrong.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

[ Welp, ]

...King.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Internal screaming continues ]

...

It figures.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

Breathe, King. It's still early. Things could turn around. We can give Pep!Pep! at least one of ours, surely.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Will it matter if they're deliberately suicide running this game!!!

Which he does not actually say. ]

... I know.

We can at least try.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey. We can send something their way. Still round one, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Yeah. Yyyeah.]

...maybe we oughtta give some out, this round.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

Agreed.

[ Internal Wheezing at Pep and LiLiS. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

[I mean, also avante? He is pretty worried about avante, tbh.]

So who's getting what?

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

[ WHY ARE ALL OUR FAVES ON THE SHIT LIST. Taisho too!! ]

Good question. We need to get King back in the right headspace...

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah.

I mean, pep's pretty well-liked, yeah? If we give em something, other teams probly will, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

If we're going to give out, then we'll have to steal from someone else too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

Mm, but we can't steal and gift in the same round. So we might have to take our chances.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

We could attempt to steal three this round and give them to someone else the next round. ... Either way, though, it seems doubtful we're going to make it to 10 at the end.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

Or we could gift this round, see where we stand, and then steal?

[ Probably a bad idea. But. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ King is definitely. having a panic attack. ]

... I would be okay with that, especially if we prioritize Lilis and Pep!Pep! Are we able to send a unit more than one bundle at a time?

[ checking the rules... ]

DECISION

[idolpro]

[You have 3 bundles of materials with which to build up your castle. Your options are:

• Use your own materials, remaining neutral.


• Gift some your materials to another unit.


• Steal from another unit.

You may gift some or all of your materials, and may divide your gifts between more than one unit. You may steal from up to three units per round. You may not gift and steal in the same round. Any materials in your possession at the end of the round will be used to improve your castle's defense level.

The enemy will arrive after 2 rounds.]

Re: DECISION

[mapsio]

Avante- 1 bundle
