GM Game: future is now

[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. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[asonoficeandfire]

... I would not propose playing the Murder card.

[why did we get that take it away]

[justpure]

[Medusa is fiddling with his hair, trying not to think of his scalp.]

A-agreed. The cards that will do the least damage are the loss of balance, the heavy fagitude, and the minor negative trait amplification.

But... Where to play them?

[arealeyeopener]

SensitIV and Taisho and Pep are our targets this round.

[justpure]

Pep?

Are you considering this from a strategic standpoint? Because even if we don't factor in our alliances for a moment, that unit is still running low on points.

[resonantblue]

We have been alternating between three of six units every round, based on our preferences for the other units.

This has been considered, but if this is your concern it can be considered, too.

[justpure]

Hm... That makes sense... Though I feel we may need to look at the other units in our rotation for this round.

[resonantblue]

[unnnnnnsure, but listening is important, esp since she offered, so she keeps her face Serious Business]

Go on. What would you do?

[justpure]

I would... [He thought of the brother in 10IV and the connections in other units...] I would replace Pep!Pep! with LiliS, since they have more points to spare.

[arealeyeopener]

We can't, we hit them last round.

[justpure]

Ah... Yes.

[Someone was too itchy to pay attention... Probably still itchy, but distraction helps.]

Though I don't see why we must hit three entirely different units every round, if we are anonymous and don't play something too intense on the repeats.

[arealeyeopener]

That's the rules of the game, we're not allowed.

[arealeyeopener]

I don't care if they're running low on points. Rather make sure everyone's important people are safe.

[asonoficeandfire]

...

[it's logical, but :(]

[nohalation]

[headpat headpat]

It is okay to speak if you want to.

[asonoficeandfire]

No... I know we have very few units to choose from. It's unavoidable, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't think pep is trying to throw. But on the other hand, I know they have enough survivor's guilt that they probably don't want others to sacrifice themselves for them.

And with us in the lead, we have to be careful. We don't have to play cruelly, but we shouldn't leave ourselves open either.

[arealeyeopener]

No one knows how we're staying in the lead so.

[shrugs]

Doesn't matter what we play if people are making up their own story. But we'll all feel better if we don't go too far.

And the game might keep going until someone hits zero or under or something so....

[asonoficeandfire]

And anyone who hits zero will probably have something bad happen to them, if this is the same as similar games...

[screenedcomments]

[absentmindedly massaging her throat because ouch but also looking pensive again]

Taisho... [wondering if it's too late to add to her list of units she doesn't want to hit]

[arealeyeopener]

Yeah?

[screenedcomments]

Ah! I didn't realize I was speaking aloud...

Nothing, it's just... I met a friend from home who's on Taisho in between rounds... All the other people from my world are on units we're already sparing, and I don't know if it makes sense or is fair to ask to add onto our already long list now that the game's in progress and our strategy is established. [she's also thinking about what Intensity said to her about needing to let go of the naivety of wanting to save everyone although this is taking that statement a fair bit out of its original context]

[arealeyeopener]

Yeah, that's pretty hard. I don't have any units I'm protecting to trade in for Taisho. I think Alcheme is one of our lower priority units but its also one of Duality's so you'd have to ask him? I know Zrael and HSS are pretty nonnegotiable at this point. And 10IV since it has Intensity's brother.

[screenedcomments]

It sounds like we have to just stick with our current plan. I can't ask Duality or anyone else to make a trade for my own interests... There will be time to renegotiate for future games, but let's just get through this for now. Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything...

[arealeyeopener]

Better to know than not. We'll see what we can arrange for the future. And we can stick to low hits on Taisho.

Sounds like people wanna shake things up anyway?

[screenedcomments]

[nods] Low hits sound good, better than nothing.
