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!)

Going neutral? Mmn...

I guess if we get really fucked over, we could try to make a desperate grab on the next two rounds.

[calmthefoxdown]

Mm, in games like this, winning isn't really the objective for me. Surviving is, even if I have to heal myself by the end of it. As long as I don't have to die.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Fair enough. We're aiming for a 7, then.

[calmthefoxdown]

Mm, okay.

Is there anyone who wants to play differently?

[gigadevilbreaker]

Well, I don't care as long as we get above a 3.

But I can't really tell what Nemesis wants. Or Moonboy, for that matter.

[calmthefoxdown]

... Nemesis usually likes to play aggressively, in my experience.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Ah. That's why she's so sure we're gonna get fucked over with this strategy.

There's always the option to go aggressive if we've really found ourselves in a hole after round one, right?

[calmthefoxdown]

Mm, if we need to, I wouldn't object to playing to survive. I just don't see any need to go over 8, myself.

[gigadevilbreaker]

I hear injuries builds character, or some shit like that.

[calmthefoxdown]

I'm overdue for a lot more character than I have right now.
