[dramatispersonae]

On the table are a 16 red stones, 8 blue stones, and a 2 black stones. There are also indentations around the edge of the table, each one marked in the color of one of the teams.]

Instructions

[Jabberwock's voice echoes through the room]

Heroesss, the rulesss are ssssimple. The red stones are pointssss of attack that you mussst play againssst another team . . . or more if you ssso choosssse. The blue ssstoness are points of defensssse that you may play on othersss. They may not be played on yourselvesss. The black ssstoness are usssed to sssteal defenssse from another team. One ssstone is worth half the pointsss of defenssse they have accumulated. With both ssstones you will take all of the pointsss. However, if two teamsss thieve from the sssame target, the defenssse will be divided between them.

All red ssstones musssst be played, but it isss your choiccce how many of blue and black to play. When you have decccided, put the ssstones into the depressssion marked for your chosssen team or teamsss.

+Red stones are points of attack! You must play all of these stones.

+Blue stones are defense! You may choose to play only some or none of these stones, and you may not play them on your own team.

+Black stones are stealing! 1 stone steals half the defense points from the team it's played on. Both stones together steal all the points. You may choose to play none of these stones.
++++However if two teams steal from the same target, the points are divided. ie: X steals 100% of points from Z, but Y steals 100% too! They both get 50%. Or if X steals 100% and Y steals 50%, both get 50%.

+If there are further questions for Jabberwock, please ping Yayoi in IRC.

Oh Fuck.

Re: Discussion

[mythlology]

-- all sixteen red against ourselves, right?

Re: Discussion

[toolate]

--Are you stupid?

Re: Discussion

[mythlology]

Yeah. I am. But Burn and I won this guy's game last time by hacking ourselves to pieces.

Re: Discussion

[gravitysrainbow]

It says we have to play them against another team.

Re: Discussion

[mythlology]

[ Jerky head shake. ]

We've gotta try.

Re: Discussion

[lightmyfire]

Just chill out for five seconds and let's think.

Re: Discussion

[toolate]

. . . Tch.

Re: Discussion

[lightmyfire]

Shit, we haven't had a game like this in a long time.

Re: Discussion

[toolate]

[ugh ugh ugh]

. . . Then it's talking about actual injury, I'm guessing.

Re: Discussion

[lightmyfire]

I'm betting on it. He doesn't seem like a nice guy.

Re: Discussion

[bigbosshard]

[grunt, and lighting up.]

Sounds like there's going to be some hard feelings.

Re: Discussion

[toolate]

[who are you hiss hiss]

Who cares? It's just a game. We just have to pick another team. Anyway, it's not like he said they'd know who attacked them.

Re: Discussion

[bigbosshard]

[Seems pretty fired up for someone saying "who cares?"]

Yeah, you can do that. Think you'll keep or use the black ones?

Re: Discussion

[toolate]

Probably use. ... I don't think Citrine is that popular of a team that we can afford to hope someone else will cover us.

Re: Discussion

[gravitysrainbow]

[stranger!!!!!!]

... There shouldn't be. People understand how games work, don't they?

Re: Discussion

[bigbosshard]

Some do, some don't. I'll go with whatever you kids want to do.

Re: Discussion

[gravitysrainbow]

... All right.

Decision

Re: Decision

[toolate]

[4 red stones each on Carnelian, Tiger's Eye, Sapphire, and Kunzite.

2 blue stones each for Jasper, Heliodor, Ruby, and Emerald.

1 black stone on Tiger's Eye.

... and Kazu ate the other black stone.]

[AND THEN KAZU MADE A TABLEFORT USING YOUR STUPID TABLE JABBERWOCK]

Results

[dramatispersonae]

[A half-eatn bacon strip appears on the table. How ominous—I mean no. You can proceed to endgame.]

[The table sinks into the floor just enough and with enough speed to hit anyone beneath it in the head though. You can scoot out from beneath it after that.]
