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.

If it's like that, I would rather use a reflect card on a martyr than an attacker. Someone still gets hurt either way, but at least it would be someone who is expecting it.

But it won't protect anyone…

Re: discussion

Reflecting an attacker's card doesn't protect anyone either. It only changes the target.

Re: discussion

Protectin' people isn't about hurtin' nobody. There's no way nobody's gonna get hurt if someone's decidin' to attack, huh? 'Specially in a game where you gotta. I don't mind hurtin' people who decided to hurt someone else, 'cause they chose attackin' in the first place. And I don't mind gettin' hurt myself if that's what it means. If you just try doin' nothin', that's all you're doin': nothin'. That's gotta be a choice, too.

I don't mind hurting myself and I will respect the decision of someone else to be the martyr, but I do mind attacking an attacker. Choosing to protect themselves aggressively doesn't make them more or less deserving of being hurt.

But it's not something that needs to be argued. I'll go with what you and Thorn and the other decide.

It's not about deservin' to be hurt, huh? It's a game. It's real good if nobody gets hurt at all, but that's not how it works. But I don't mind punchin' back at people who are punchin' me, right? And sometimes that's the way you gotta be effecty. That's all. Games aren't always real nice, dunno if this one is or not yet.

Yeah, guess Thorn's got a real strong idea of what he wants to do… That's fine…

Re: discussion

I'll hit someone if they're punching me, but if they're hitting someone else because they have to, I would rather sit back and let them sort it out themselves. It's like that.
