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.]

Oh, you're gonna order me around now, huh?

The answer's "no", though that should've gone without saying.

Calling your threat is me ordering you around?

If you wouldn't go with either plan, what would you suggest?

Re: Discussion

[uroboric]

"Calling it" suggests it was a veiled threat. I think it was pretty clear to everyone exactly what I meant.

I mean the part where you expect me to do it later and then just get revenge after the fact. That's against the whole point. . . what the fuck do I want with revenge? What's that gonna accomplish?

I wanna protect the things I wanna protect. You can't save everyone, so let's save the ones that matter to us the most. What's so wrong with that?

Re: Discussion

We can't control whether any of the other teams target the ones you want to protect. What I'm suggesting is minimizing the damage to everyone -- the idea is to keep from laying too much on anyone.

This is a situation where we can't really save anyone. But we can try damage control.

Re: Discussion

I can control whether or not I damage the things I'm supposed to protect.

You're outvoted, so just deal with it and move on already.

Re: Discussion

[sticksofthejedi]

Am I outvoted? That's fairly black and white -- the compromise you and Spitfire have been talking about is a good middle ground.

Re: Discussion

[uroboric]

Oh? I'm talking about the same thing with both of you, though, you know. Maybe you oughta stop ignoring everything I say to you and substituting it with whatever you've decided I mean.

Alright, maybe I'm not listening well enough.

Re: Discussion

[u-u-unexpected reaction]

. . .What? That's it?

Re: Discussion

[sticksofthejedi]

That's it. I choose to exempt no teams for myself. I won't argue against the rest of you picking whoever you feel you should.
