GM Game: WILD CITY

[ 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. ]

What would you define as hard in this game? Only violent cards? Any cards above a certain point level?

There are many variables in this one, and we need to be clear on what we are willing to do to protect ourselves.

The Mahjong game was really similar to this. Instead of cards, it was tiles with numbers.

....again, this is just my experience from really early on in the game. I know a lot of people have rotated out. And I don't want you guys to worry or take my experience on as yours. Maybe everyone will play hugely different this time since its different people, but...

Every single unit except Avante chose us as within their top three to hit with a card. And Gold even told Avante it was okay to hit us if they needed to.

Most of the cards that got played on us were pretty low. Felt bad to basically have to whole community put us in their "top three" to hit though.

And then Cardigan hosted a live calling out everyone that played higher tiles. We played had played a higher tile, so I stepped forward. It's kind of where the whole "Wild City protects Wild City" thing came from.

We can play 1 to 3 cards, right?

It's either... go very soft, with one low level card... or like you said.

I know better than to take what happened weeks before I arrived as what is likely to happen now.

The...overall atmosphere afterwards, however, may be relevant with the new teams that have arrived. The reaction of such a large number of new arrivals to...this.

We should be cautious outside of the tower during and after this game.

If we only play our lightest card each round, we are at high odds of ending up in debt.

If everyone did that, this game probably wouldn't go that badly.

The general atmosphere I got was "It's okay to play 3 cards a turn as long as they're all five or under".

The huge wild cards are the new teams. Since they haven't had any time to bond with the older teams, there's no way of knowing who they'll hit. A lot of teams will probably try to hit the new teams with their higher cards, but there's a huge chance of that canceling out.

If we could do any planning with other units then perhaps we could make an attempt, but they are not going to permit us to even discuss it.

The new teams throw off all my other predictions too. I could attempt to work out who was more likely to hit us if they weren't here, but now...

I don't know what to expect. This first round is almost a complete unknown.

FiN probably won't hit us? At the very least because it would look bad from a PR standpoint?

Zrael may especially try to hit us if God is playing.

Taisho, Zrael and Bit tend to play hard defensively, so I have no doubt they'll try to hit us.

We can't hit SensitIV for sure because of our alliance and so they probably won't try to hit us either. Unless it's just the newbies playing and they somehow haven't been told of the alliance yet.

—Did we tell Ribbit about the alliance yet? I made sure he had points for abilities the other day, but I never got as far as discussing our relationships with other units.

Nn, I got him a winter coat because his clothes were kinda light. I took him on a tour, but I didn't get to alliances either yet. Luckily we're here in case he shows up, but that's why I don't doubt it would be possible for new SensitIV's to not know either.

I think the way to go would be first deciding our bare minimum "do not hits". Just reaffirm everyone's "Just One".
iamverybadass: (Found a clue)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] iamverybadass 2019-11-22 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...I agree. We can decide how to play once we know what our limits are.

Mine is obvious—I refuse to risk one of our cards hitting my brother. I can discuss cards that would not injure or alter his mind if we are backed into a corner, but I would prefer not to have to.

Mm, mine too. Obviously I don't want us to hit Gold.

And we can't hit SensitIv because of the alliance.
