Castle Game: avante en garde

[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!)

Mm, so if we're starting at zero, and we had 3 materials each round, we'd be at 9, which would be... not catastrophic, but.

I suppose it depends on how many people really want to win.

I figured we'd just avoid dying...

[ But Griffin seems fine with it so maybe not?? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

...we'll do our best not to let you die, yes.

It's— You don't...

I-If everyone wants to protect other teams, that's...


[ slow breath ]

I don't need anyone to change how they play for me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

We don't like to go after others, mostly. But, it's the responsibility of a unit to protect their own. I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

I can handle getting knocked around. If no one wants to steal, I'm not gonna make them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Mm. Well, I think that's how we're feeling as a group, more or less.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

...So everyone's just worrying about everyone else?

Re: DISCUSSION

[softlyfalling]

Perhaps so. That, and not wanting to escalate too early, I suppose.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

Yeah... I think Harpy's got the right idea there.
