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!)

We come back from the dead anyway, so is it that big a difference?

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

Don't always come back. Not for free, anyways.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Wait, really? Then what's the cost on that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

Depends on the person. C lost a head. Hurricane lost a heart.

...Guess it's something to look forward to after we crash and burn.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

You're saying that like you're expecting us to eat shit.

How d'you wanna play it? For real.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

We're going to eat shit. Sorry, should've transferred off earlier...or at least picked your least favorite outfit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Damn. I liked this jacket.

...Gold's down with staying neutral for now. That sound okay t'you?

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

...Whatever.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

...

I mean, if people really fuck us over, there's still two more rounds to play Moonboy's way and make up for it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

Or get even further in the hole.

...Probably be time to strip down, at least.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

People'd really pile on to a unit that's already low on points? They know what'd happen to'em...

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

Gotta pick somebody. May as well be the one they don't care about.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Right. And we're the team with newbies no one would care about.

[HUFF.]

...Any chance ZRAEL or WILD CITY might help?

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

...Think of it this way, knights're supposed to stand alone. It's noble or some such bullshit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Uh, yeah that's bullshit. We're not real knights.

Re: DISCUSSION

[unbr8kable]

We're not real popular, either. Thought a dreamer like you might like hearing it the first way better.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

I...guess if we come back...

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

...I mean, I think we should, anyway. But I guess it might not be in one piece...

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

We might not be in one piece just getting injured either.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

'Permanent corruption's what I'm really worried about. I really don't like the sound of getting fucked by that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

... We just gotta stay above 3 for that. Can't be that hard.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

I don't think we've made that many enemies...

Re: DISCUSSION

[dienamite]

I dunno anything about enemies... I just know we're on good terms with half the teams.

Dunno how much that'll spare us in this game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Well, we'll try t'not have you die in your very first game.

If we get fucked, next round we're shooting for 7.
