Ah . . . what I would give . . . no, what you will give? Your choices will determine that, so let us play a simple card game. But first, choose your stance.e.

I guess we know what it meant now.

Re: discussion

[seems extremely pleased]

I should've known, honestly. Let's just ignore it. It's none of our business, anyway.

Re: discussion

[ smiling ]

We can focus on the game now. So, what teams, and what card?

Re: discussion

[blackjacked]

We predict which teams chose 'martyr' and 'attack' and play the 'weaken' and 'nullify' cards on them, obviously. I know Carnelian and Jasper tend to play games like this to win, and neither of 'em are particularly self-sacrificing. Sapphire and the knights, on the other hand, probably chose 'martyr.'

[folds his arms and lets out a thoughtful hum]

The reflect card, on the other hand, poses a different problem.

Re: discussion

[devilishfiend]

In that case, we should definitely use nullify on a martyr team, and weaken on an attacker.

If we use reflect on a team we think chose advisor, then there wouldn't be any damage to begin with, right?

Re: discussion

[blackjacked]

Right. But then we'd be nullifying whatever good they might do. So I think we should play reflect on a team that's likely to have either weaken or nullify played on 'em by another adviser team.

[idly toys with the cards in his hand as he thinks]

Carnelian is known to play hard, so let's play reflect on them, assuming another team will either weaken or nullify their attack. Jasper can get our weaken card. . .

And either the knights or Sapphire can get nullify.

Re: discussion

[devilishfiend]

If it's fine with you, I'd like to play nullify on Sapphire, then.

Re: discussion

[blackjacked]

[wide grin]

Heh, yeah. I was leaning more towards Sapphire myself.

Any particular order we should play them in?

Re: discussion

[devilishfiend]

It's hard to say. It's likely our first card will effect the team we pick's first card, the second's second and the third's second. So we should try to guess our teams orders as well...

Re: discussion

[blackjacked]

[ha. . .]

I don't think we can predict that well. If we guessed their roles correctly, we'd negate some damage, no matter what round they played their heavier cards in.

Carnelian first, Jasper second, and Sapphire third?

Re: discussion

[devilishfiend]

Sounds good to me.

It definitely could have been worse.

Re: discussion

Now I'm sad we didn't pick Coral, though... I could have found out your dirtiest secrets.

Just how many dirty secrets are you hiding from me!? Maybe a wife and a kid...? How scandalous!

What about you, Mr. Lizard?

Absolutely no way.
