Well shit.

[beforehecheats]

Eloquently said.

[fallinflames]

Guessing at balances is the worst way to do this.

[beforehecheats]

Makes it more difficult. Question is do you want to tinker or bet or both?

I would enjoy at least betting if you don't mind that it could lead to a bit of discomfort.

[fallinflames]

... I'd rather gamble, yeah.

[nods at Chariot and Mithos] Let them figure out what will get them closest and we'll see what we might need to do to get it a little closer?

[beforehecheats]

Personally I was considering the little pink miss and the boy whose been here from the start. If you know them well, then I wouldn't mind betting on them. From the knights I have been acquainted with I hardly know what their deeds from home are or how Three would categorize them as good or bad.

[fallinflames]

That... will be fine. There will be other rounds, and I know almost all of the knights up there.

[beforehecheats]

But do you know their secrets? I think that is what this game is eluding to.

[beforehecheats]

[Round two!]

Not bad at all. Any pairs that catch your interest?

[fallinflames]

Chariot and David. Any catch your eye?

[beforehecheats]

To bet on as well? I do have a feeling that the margin of error will reduce each time.

Hmmm. How about Lloyd and the blonde knight?

[fallinflames]

Flynn? [considers and shrugs] We can help them out too. Do which do you want to put the bet on?

[beforehecheats]

I'd bet on a pair with either Chariot or Mithos. Worked well for us last time. And as for our third weight we can give it to Mithos if he wishes.

[fallinflames]

[nods]

Sounds good. Betting with David and Chariot then, balancing Flynn and Lloyd, and then do what we can for Mithos and Elliot?

[beforehecheats]

Sounds good to me. I'll talk to Flynn and Lloyd if you talk to David and Chariot. Whomever finishes first can talk to the last pair.

[beforehecheats]

And do you have some history with Flynn?

[fallinflames]

Huh?

[beforehecheats]

The way you were considering it. Nothing then.

[fallinflames]

Well... that went well all around.

[beforehecheats]

I think it did. Would you like to bow out of the third?

[fallinflames]

Let's see what the match ups are first.

[beforehecheats]

[Taking a seat on the ground.]

Tell me how they are.

[fallinflames]

Run through your excitement for this one?

[beforehecheats]

Partially, and partially I'd like to see how the knights do without any assistance. I was expecting it to get gradually worse, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

[fallinflames]

It means we're balancing better, which is the goal of her games. We're down to 1 and 3 weights. Apparently we were doing too well for her tastes.
