Castle Game: BARiTONES

[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!)

...Popular unit who never dies, huh.

Hm. I guess if everyone thinks that way, they'll think it's safe to steal from them.

Or they gave all of theirs away.

[... is anyone stupid enough to do that?]

Uh, this is the team that apparently went hard all the way to the end and got us killed last time.

...And we didn't wreck them?

I just tried to? Someone here veto'd them.

Yeah, but that's what I'm questioning. It's totally got shades of "don't be mean to the murderers".

...They'd be the best choice to steal from if they're really popular enough, too. Can we re-evaluate? Like, if enough people send them a bunch to protect them this round that could boost us enough that it doesn't matter who steals from
us next round.

So who are we going for this round?

Other gift magnets. LiliS, HSS. ⭐ZRAEL again I guess but I don't know if people like them enough to send them anything? Aren't they like, crazy badmen or something?

...

sensitIV is all huge jerks and I'm still mad at Nya and Lucy and they won't find out about this if we don't tell them so I'd be okay with them too.

Mm. . . yeah, someone might rush in to save them. This place is full of people who like to play hero, after all.

I don't want to hit Sensitiv. Not yet.

...regardless, clearly we can target someone else for the next round, or even the same people. We seem to be alright.

Aaaand then the dogpile, yep. It checks out.

Wild City's probably in trouble by that logic, or everyone'll come swingin' round the other way.

Anyone who's obviously playing hard is.

At least we're on the low end of that. Not that it makes us much less of a target, since those who've got higher numbers than us probably got help last round, but who knows if that'll keep up now that the first have hit the floor...

Stealin' again, right? Any preferences?

Obviously. We'll die with only five.

I don't care, as long as we avoid Avante, Future, and Sensitiv.

[nods]

Okay. I'm cool with those limits.

That seems kinda messed up? People here suuuck.

Think we should slow down a bit this round? Otherwise we're gonna end up looking like a piñata like WILD CITY is right now.

We'll be a popular target no matter what, won't we?

We weren't this round. I'm thinking people won't think about us until we're sitting high, but you all know how people play better than I do.

Well! Who would you have considered popular this round? Pep pep? They may have given their materials away.

If pep!pep! is really as popular as Koko says, they'll like, totally get a bunch of people rushing to save them or fix their mistake or whatever. If we steal from them, we profit from that. Plus, they like killed us before apparently? If I'm gonna ruin other people to live I'd like it to be people who should be ruined and not people who just kinda suck.

Other than that, I'd go for Heart or LiliS. We should be aiming for gift magnets.

I really don't have any preference for what units we target, but Rye would likely object to Pep pep.

Yeah, I heard. HSS is like, probably our best best then. Don't care about the other two besides preferring sensitIV for "stabbed me and stole from me" reasons.

HSS, Lilis, aaand... Taisho. How does that sound?
