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.]

Explain it to the others, Leo.

Re: Discussion

[witheyesofgold]

I'll do my best effort.

Re: Discussion

[doubleminded]

Ha! No wonder Teir likes you.

Re: Discussion

[witheyesofgold]

[wait what]

... You're not Teir...

[hhhalf a question, half a statement]

Re: Discussion

[doubleminded]

No. I'm not.

Re: Discussion

[witheyesofgold]

Then...?

Re: Discussion

[doubleminded]

Does it matter if you think we're all going to die? No.

Re: Discussion

[witheyesofgold]

It does. I don't plan on staying dead.

Re: Discussion

[doubleminded]

Then you can call me Qamar!

Re: Discussion

[witheyesofgold]

[goshhh]

What does it mean?

Re: Discussion

[doubleminded]

[snorts.]

There's a game going on, Leo. Pay attention to that. If you can help keep us alive, I'll tell you. If not, you'll have to figure it out on your own.

Re: Discussion

[witheyesofgold]

Yes, yes. I'm working on it. Do you know anyone on the new teams?

Re: Discussion

[doubleminded]

Are you asking whether Teir cares about anyone?

Re: Discussion

[witheyesofgold]

No, I'm asking if you know how strong they are, in terms of alliances.

Re: Discussion

[doubleminded]

Oh, you're smart. No, I don't know of any alliances.

Re: Discussion

[witheyesofgold]

We're trying to figure out whether they will get more protection for being new, or if people will prioritize their friends on other teams.

Re: Discussion

[doubleminded]

Ha! Different teams will do it differently, but the smart teams will save themselves.
