Jaina, there's no way for us to be accountable for the other team's choices. We need to look at this from what we're doing and we alone.

And if we're looking only at what we're doing, do we do as little damage to each team, or badly hurt one team?

Have you changed your mind from earlier, Spitfire?

Re: Discussion

I haven't made up my mind. There's a difference. Neji made a good point, Jasper is likely to get a defense from others because they're new. They'll only take eight stones total from us since they would be halved by the blue stones also being put on them. I think that's likely better odds than we're going to see ourselves.

...I didn't realize what's likely to be brought against us makes a particular option on our side relatively better.

Re: Discussion

I can't control what others do to us. We know we're not a well favored team.

There is no way for our actions not to hurt someone. All we can do is play our stones to the best of our ability.

Re: Discussion

Then things like "it's better odds than we're going to see ourselves" doesn't have a place in this discussion.

Spitfire, I'm aware that we're going to hurt someone, no matter what we choose. I'm not going to be petty if we target one team -- but I can't agree with that logic, either.
