[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.

This's kinda a weird game.

Hello. She tends to run death games.

. . . this got sicker . . .

Re: Discussion

[yourmama]

Uhh… I don't think I've ever played that kind? Guess I wouldn't remember though.

IT'S THE SAME GODDAMN GAME, YOU CRAZY WOMAN!

Re: Discussion

[steampunked]

Strictly this is who to kill, not who to save.

Re: Discussion

Are you new?

Re: Discussion

Oh, yeah, that's a huge difference.

Re: Discussion

[yourmama]

Yeah! I don't remember nothin' before this mornin', but I know I'm a knight, so I'm here to take care of you folk.

Re: Discussion

[tsundead]

All right, let's do the usual pass. I want to protect Coral most. Faith is with Carnelian, Souya is with Turquoise, and Fetch is with Amethyst, so there's that. I also have people I care about on Citrine, but I also know they can handle it as a team. Beyond that I have friends on individual teams but there's not much we can do about that... I don't really want to see the new teams get nailed again, though. Peridot in particular had a hard time last time.

Re: Discussion

[yourmama]

Oww… you don't need to yell.

Re: Discussion

[tsundead]

Well, welcome. I'm Hisoka. [offers a hand] This isn't really the best sort of game to have to start with, but sounds like you're willing to keep your chin up.

Re: Discussion

[steampunked]

Yeah, it is, actually. [examining the setup]

No defense points. And if everyone spreads the marbles out, every single person playing will die.

Re: Discussion

[aberdevine]

[takes a deep breath.]

... yeah, you're right. It's a good reaction on her part to last time.

Re: Discussion

[aberdevine]

No, but it made me feel better.

Re: Discussion

[yourmama]

Uhh, I guess? More names, huh. Least Hisoka's a little different. Sure wish that noisy guy would stop yellin', though.

[takes that hand.]

Re: Discussion

[steampunked]

. . .

What do you want to do?

Re: Discussion

[tsundead]

If everyone gives each team one marble, every team gets 60 damage points -- and we can't survive more than 30.

The only way for anyone to survive is to pile them up on one or a few teams.

Re: Discussion

[aberdevine]

I'm going to say it up front, because there's no point dancing around the issue: there's always the option of putting all of them in our bowl. We'd die, but we wouldn't cause anyone else to. Alternately, we could do that to another team, to minimize losses.

Re: Discussion

[yourmama]

Sure didn't make the rest of us feel better.

Re: Discussion

[steampunked]

Nothing on Iolite for sure. There's a kid on that team who's maybe eleven years old.

Re: Discussion

[tsundead]

Well, that's my real name. Do you have one yet?

He's upset. We died before. Other teams have died before. [shakes hands]
