GM Game: LiliS

[ 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. ]

Hss and Sensitiv have both stayed fairly consistently high on points and 10iv always bounces back every other round, which there would be one more round after this for them to bounce back. As far as I know, none of them have many if any close ties to us so they might be likely to hit us.

So if they do hit us, it blocks, and if they don’t hit us, we aren’t beating someone who is already down. Plus the cards we’ll be playing are low-ish.

Don't like that you want to put pressure on another unit to do something for bigger points . . . That aside, sounds reasonable enough.

Re: DISCUSSION

[letgrow]

I don't particularly want to, but....that seems to be the game.

Ah, I'm open to suggestions too?

Re: DISCUSSION

[theyregooddogs]

Mm, no, doesn't matter. Feels off, but I can't pin down what I'm missing in this picture.

[....taps her chin, thinking]

Something about the unit choices? Or the cards?

Re: DISCUSSION

No, the amount of cards. You're really nervous, going after that many people at once. It'll push us high up in points if two of them go through when we're already sitting on a lot of points.

Think you should block from whoever you think poses the greatest threat, leave the other two alone.

30 + 6 should have been 36 but we got 26...so hit with 10 points of loss at least, not counting blocks.

26 + 16 should have been 42, but we wound up with 34...so hit with 8 points of loss at least, not counting blocks.

34 + 11 should have been 45, but we wound up with 33...so hit with 12 points of loss at least, not counting blocks.

We have been hit consistently with an average of 10 points each round, not counting blocks.

If we play 13 points worth of cards, we'll wind up with 36 points. Which yes, is a little high, but we don't know what our last hand will look like. If we skip one of the 4's....we would wind up at 32. I'd play lower cards, but 3 of them if we had a better hand for that.

Re: DISCUSSION

Though their score is high, I am actually a bit concerned about striking Heart Soldier. They are only just recovering from the out of game murder of their youngest.

And I presume that the high-scoring units have been attractive targets to everyone—especially since you just mention “bouncing back” as part of the pattern.

Re: DISCUSSION

[letgrow]

Hss has stayed over 39 points all game despite being an attractive target all game.

So either they’re not as attractive a target as us or they’re playing very hard.

Re: DISCUSSION

Hm.
[ a touch of an unhappy frown, but she nods ]

It sounds as if you've been doing a lot to manage our points, and that it's been working; I don't want to undermine that. I might simply request that we avoid inflicting them with depression, if that's being considered.
