GM Game: LiliS

[idolpro]

[ The door shuts behind you, leaving you in a copy of this room. Upon one of the fancy tables is your card for the round, along with slots for each unit for you to go slide in your choices.

You can come and go as you will, but once you have left the room, you cannot speak of anything that transpires within: not your choices, not your discussion, not your alliances.

Do your best, idol-tachi. ]

[SNAGGING THE VIOLENT ONES and making them disappear up his sleeve for the moment. Out of sight out of mind.]

We can go on shopping trips for the other guy if we play the 4 points one! I guess.

Re: DISCUSSION

[letgrow]

I would be willing to run all their errands.

Re: DISCUSSION

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

We can all run their errands together! Then it's like they have a personal delivery service for three days instead of losing out.

Re: DISCUSSION

[letgrow]

Mmm....I don’t want Azalea to have to hurt on her first game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

I don't you to have to hurt, either. So yeah let's just play the not so bad one?

[It almost certainly won't be enough to keep them afloat, and there's no telling how bad their hands will be later. But for now...]

Re: DISCUSSION

[letgrow]

I don't want you to hurt either. I don't want any of Lilis to hurt...

Should we...play the two too? We can play up to three cards...

Re: DISCUSSION

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

...I guess it'd be good to play both, yeah. A sore throat isn't so bad.

[So they hopefully don't end up so low they have no chance of digging themselves back out if they decide they want to struggle later.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[letgrow]

Cards....cards under five aren't so bad, right? I'll take responsibility. If anyone is mad at us for playing them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

We'll take it together, 'cause we're in this together. Let's play the sore throat and the conbini ban. You can make 'em tea and I'll run deliveries, no problem.

Do you have any preferences on which unit we pick? I know we're not supposed to touch Bad End.

Re: DISCUSSION

[letgrow]

Selfishly....I'd prefer not to hit Pep or Alcheme. I want to speak for our friends that aren't here right now either...Amaranth has Cardigan on Avante. And John has Silver on Wild City. Lavender seems close with Mars on HSS. Is there anyone you wish to protect if at all possible?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

No. I mean, obviously I would like to protect everyone if possible, but y'know.

Sooo that leaves us with... sensitIV, BARiTONES, Taisho Roman Revolution, future is now, and ☆ZRAEL? Oh, and Dance Macabre, YOU-kai, and sea.Di.

Re: DISCUSSION

[letgrow]

The new teams...I feel like everyone is going to dogpile on them. Since they don't have anyone they want to protect on those teams.

Mmm......Taisho and Zrael maybe?

Re: DISCUSSION

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Yeah, and we don't know how long they're going to be here so it's harder to make it up to them.

Taisho and ☆ZRAEL are fine with me.

[endurism]

[bye violent cards won't miss you]

It does seem like our best option... more of an inconvenience than something horrifying, but the most optimal point value.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Right. We can un-inconvenience it, even, so it's not bad at all.

[endurism]

I agree. Certainly nothing anyone could be too upset over.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Yeah...

Oh, for the record, apparently we're buddy-buddy with Bad End, so don't target them even if you end up alone, 'kay? [...] Just for future reference and not because I think you're going to end up alone here!

[endurism]

If I end up--

[Oh. Hm. Bad.

A long, long pause where she just staaaares at him.

And then:]

Fine. I won't. Are there any other unit relations I should know?

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Like how it's just us three right now! And no, that's the only biggie that I know of. Maybe if one of the grown-ups pop in we can ask.

[endurism]

[Staaaare.]

Fine. I'll remember that, though... I don't know that that brings us much closer to deciding on a unit to use this card on.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

One down is better than none! We can just pick at random if we have to.

[endurism]

We can't just pick at random.

We can certainly do better than that, can't we? We're determined to play this game as kindly as possible, and that is fair, but it is still a game. What's the purpose of a game if not to be played tactically?

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Isn't it quicker to just pick and move on if none of us have preferences? That's a big if, though, since maybe the others have Opinions. I've got none, for the record.

[endurism]

Quicker, yes, but the actual unit we decide on should depend on our goals. Is there a unit that is more likely to receive more cards? Would we want to pile on our own to that unit in an attempt to confirm that there will be a "loser" with fewer points than us?

Would we rather attempt to pick a unit that is unlikely to receive many cards, to even out the points?

[O...overthinking it, maybe.]

These things do matter in a situation like this.

Not to mention that rule about cards cancelling out, though it would likely be nearly impossible to predict what unit will use a card on us... unless you know of any prior grudges.

[oddeyesphantomdragon]

Like I said, picking at random is only "if we have to". I agree with you, but I also can't add any opinions of substance since I haven't played in enough bad games yet to know this kinda stuff.
