Castle Game: avante en garde

[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!)

They probably figure we will too so it's fine. Or just that they don't care about us either way so it's still fine...

[hhhesitates]

What do you wanna do?
calmthefoxdown: (Yes that's very interesting.)

... I don't like being hurt, and I definitely don't like dying. But I'll take an injury over playing aggressively in this game when we don't need to, and setting us up for getting hit in other games.

Pretty sure we'll get hit in other games too, but...

A game rep still counts for something.

Wild City still hasn't been able to shake theirs, even though they haven't played hard in a long time.
unbr8kable: (really now)

Why would they want to shake it? Being known for protecting yourself sounds like a good rep to me. Maybe it'll scare some people off.
calmthefoxdown: (Yes yes.... no...)

If people think you play hard, wouldn't they have no problems with playing hard against you? Because 'they'd defend themselves anyway'?
unbr8kable: (some things)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2019-06-19 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but...you always know what you gotta do, defend yourself. Don't gotta argue. And even if you lose, at least you fought for it.

If someone starts something, sure. But I don't like being the one to start it.

What about being the one to finish it?
calmthefoxdown: (Yes that's very interesting.)

[personal profile] calmthefoxdown 2019-06-19 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
... Depends on the definition of finishing.
unbr8kable: if there's hell below, we're all gonna go (he said don't worry)

Preferably not the one that ends with us begging Lilith for another chance.
