Castle Game: Heart Soldier Senshi
[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!)

Re: DISCUSSION
No.
Re: DISCUSSION
... The odds that we're going to die are high, Eclipse. No one is helping Pep!Pep! enough to save them since they're giving away all of theirs. ... Wouldn't it be better if we all escaped the very worst possible outcome...?
Re: DISCUSSION
I'd rather fucking steal, and I don't care if we give one or two, but if we give it all away then we're not even fucking trying any more! How the hell am I supposed to trust any of you when I'm right here and all of you don't even try!
Re: DISCUSSION
Just because they're playing to protect their friends and not themselves doesn't mean we should consign them to the worst possible punishment when there's something we could do about it.
Re: DISCUSSION
Re: DISCUSSION
Does that mean we should never help others?
Re: DISCUSSION
If we don't want to steal, whatever, but we are not sending all our damned bundles to them when we're not looking so great ourselves. One or two, I don't care, just not all of it!
Re: DISCUSSION
And we don't have to give away everything! I want us to live too, I just - I can't do nothing. Even if they're doing this on purpose.
Re: DISCUSSION
Re: DISCUSSION
I have no objections to that.
Re: DISCUSSION
and then lets it go.
SHE'S BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD ON THIS ANGER MANAGEMENT THING.... ]
Pep!Pep! could control how they've been behaving, yes, but--even so, people have been stealing at least one, if not more, from them every time. And we don't know what their mind-set is. They may have given up, thinking they'll die with the worst consequences for sure, so why struggle? Maybe they're fine accepting that, but... that doesn't mean we have to go along with it.
I'm willing to accept Prim's compromise, but--I don't appreciate you accusing us of not even trying when we opted not to send anything and retain all of our property in the first round. We agreed to do what we can to preserve ourselves within a reasonable limit--not to play so hard as to not be able to look at ourselves in the mirror afterward.

Re: DISCUSSION
I just...I think it wouldn't really make them feel all that great if we helped them at our own expense and we ended up dying for it. But maybe that's my own selfishness.
Just... [ He sighs. ] I'm sorry for accusing all of you. I just don't want us to die.
Re: DISCUSSION
No, you're probably right that they wouldn't like it if we died either. Personally, i don't really want to die either, but--it seems we estimated this game incorrectly. Hopefully, we'll both be able to survive... I think that's all any of us want.
Re: DISCUSSION
I don't like it, but... [ He thinks back to the conversations he's had with Cobalt, before. ] I guess there's no way to do this that isn't really just us being selfish.
Re: DISCUSSION
[ Because on the one hand--yes. She would obviously also like to see everyone survive. And she would like King to not be angry with them for not saving Yugi--from himself, even.
... But having seen Eclipse lose his composure like this, and his point--that Pep!Pep! might want to lose--she wonders if this is really the best choice to be making. ]
Re: DISCUSSION
I know you don't want us to fail either, and I haven't forgotten the conversation we all had. So...what if we keep one bundle for ourselves, and two to Pep Pep? If we could....at
least get them out of the lowest tier.
[ fret fret fret. ]
Re: DISCUSSION
It turns out being angry is tiring? ]
...Like...Like I said, I'd be fine with giving one or two. I just...I just don't want to give it all away.
Re: DISCUSSION
I know, I know. [ And the chances of shit going bad this round? High. Even keep one bundle would put them at five, with the off chance no one steals and no one gifts. ]
So we're going to keep one, and the other two we can give. The aim wasn't to...disrupt the entire meeting we had. Just.
[ Pep Pep does not deserve to die and neither do we? ]
Re: DISCUSSION
...you vetoing?
