ROUND 1 - RUBY

[dramatispersonae]

[ Once everyone is through the door it swings shut behind you. You find yourself in a narrow room, about two people across and eight people deep. On the back of the door is a stylized sun with six rays of light spiraling out of the center. In the center of the sun is a pair of lips and they begin speaking: ]

Each team is in a room like this. You will choose which teams to attack and which teams to defend. Tell me when you have reached your decision.

You have fifteen "points" to attack with. You may use these in bundles of five or more.

You have five "points" to defend with. You may use these in either two and three or all five at once.

You may not defend or attack yourself. And you may not decline to play.

(ooc: CHOOSE WHICH TEAM(S) TO ATTACK AND WHICH TEAM(S) TO DEFEND.

You can attack in any combination of points that adds up to 15 as long as the smallest amount you use is 5. (So, for instance you can attack Team A for 15 points. Or attack Team A for 8 and Team B for 7. Or attack Team D for all 15)

You can defend in either all 5 points to one team, or 2 points to one team and 3 to another. (Defend Team Z for 5 or defend Team Y for 2 and Team F for 3).

[heliokleptic]

What do you think happens if we just don't pick?

[unfortunateson]

That would be declining to play.

Re: YOUR FINAL ANSWER

[righthandsmoke]

Five attack points each on Kunzite, Citrine, and Tiger's Eye. Two defense points on Citrine, and three on Peridot.

RESULTS

[dramatispersonae]

Other teams dealt you 15 points of damage and 5 points of defense. That means you were assigned 10 points of damage.

[ there's a quiet click and no skewers! Instead two long serrated edge saw blades cross through the room. They're easy enough to avoid -- at least two of your party should be able to escape unscathed. However for the rest they will probably get some scratches or long gashes. ]
