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?

[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... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

I think so. We could send two to Pep Pep and one to LiLis?

[ Also rule checking. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

...I, uh. Avante's sitting at 2, which isn't a whole lot better.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

[ 8(!! Hurricane.... ]

Or we can split it one to each. Including Avante. So...them, Pep, and LiLis.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

...

[ Knowing full well this isn't sufficient for any of them, but is also the best they can do: ]

I can agree to this.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

[ This is some BS decision we are being made to make!! ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

I'd... like that.

If everyone's okay with it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

I'm fine with it as well. As long as everyone else is.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

Actually, it's not a bad idea to gift first, then steal. It would depend on how much we trust our luck and predicting skills, though.

If we steal first and end up with a high value, a lot of units would just gun for us because we have more, if they're not thinking about stealing from units that are likely to get gifts.

...So one way we can do is to give some of what we have now, and then bet on stealing from units that we think will also get gifts the next to try and keep ourselves not-dead.

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

I can agree to this... but I expect others will be playing the same and then fighting for survival in the last round.

There's no guarantee we can steal without dooming who we steal from.

[ Which he can live with but there ARE Hurricanes in the room... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

That's just how stealing goes.

The other thing is...and honestly I want to give something to pep and Lilis, so I'm not going to stop anyone, but...

Say, how much faith in humanity do we all have here?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlekeeper]

Do you really need to ask?

[ MINIMAL. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crossmyheartandhope]

...most people here are okay.

We hit some rough spots, but. Considering what we all been through, could be worse.

Re: DISCUSSION

[inspiteful]

...Well then, I feel I can say that while I agree with giving gifts out, then we should brace ourselves for our gifts getting stolen. 'Cause I can't say no one isn't thinking of stealing from units who are likely to receive gifts from units that may be thinking like us.

Just...yeah, we can do it and I don't think any of us will regret it, I just don't want us to be surprised if ends up meaning little else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mapsio]

I can agree to that as well. We just...really need to be all on the same page for the last round.

[ Because. Balloon game v2.0 does not need to happen. ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ BOY....

Let's hope that it doesn't get that bad. ]

... As long as we have dice, surely that will keep the arguments at minimum...
