[You find yourself in a medium sized room, large enough for a round table and seven chairs. There are a few things of note on the table:

-12 glass bowls in the colors of the teams. They cannot be moved from the table or broken.
-12 large black marbles
-A platter of cheese squares on tooth picks, Cheddar, Pepperjack, Swiss]


Each marble represents five attack points. Each marble must be placed in a bowl, but you may distribute them however you wish.

Know that no team can hope to survive more than thirty arrows.

Opinions?

Re: Discussion

... The last time everyone targeted the newer teams. This time, though, a lot of them know people from the other teams so it may not go the same way.

Re: Discussion

[murderingthetime]

Does it really matter? If every team plays only one marble on each team then that's sixty points.

Re: Discussion

[failtactical]

She's just making fun of us, at this point.

Re: Discussion

[murderingthetime]

What a terrible sense of humor.

Re: Discussion

[failtactical]

It'll be a massacre no matter what. Even if we try to protect specific teams, if half of the teams play equally, they will die anyway.

Re: Discussion

[stigmateyes]

Yeah, she's not even bothering with defense points.

Re: Discussion

[failtactical]

The closest thing to defense would be to choose between killing a team, or taking a wild guess at their points to calculate the severity of the wounds.

Re: Discussion

[stigmateyes]

No, every team won't do that. We already know that from last item. But that still leaves us with too many points...

Re: Discussion

[murderingthetime]

It seems to be more about who we would rather not kill.

Re: Discussion

[stigmateyes]

The worst for us.

Re: Discussion

What about preserving the most attacked last time?

Re: Discussion

[stigmateyes]

[yeah idek.]

Re: Discussion

...it's just the same thing again.

[First instinct is to stand beside Ryner, but he draws closer to the table instead]

[AFTER MUCH ARGUING AND BEATINGS AND NEARLY SWALLOWING SOME MARBLES... quietly placing 6 in Citrine's bowl, and 6 in Emerald's]


I'm sorry.

5 sprigs of larkspur
5 purple coneflowers
