[The awning shades you from the sun, but it doesn't protect you from the eyes and ears of other teams. Under your awning you find a small table on which there are three weights of different sizes. Discuss what you will with your teams here.]

[uneulogized]

So, we can get out of this unscathed, if we're all fine with losing.

[restorefromsave]

We seem to have no problems winning in general. I don't mind throwing a game for safety.

[Scanning the knights for Kazuki though.]

[uneulogized]

The other option is we go on knowledge and bet according to that. Throw the other guy off and win. I think we could safely do that.

[restorefromsave]

[No Kazuki so whatever screw empathy for strangers.]

Betting seems the least desirable option. Unless you can say you know them very well. Perhaps after the first round, but even then I'd rather just take the loss.

[uneulogized]

We can take a read on it and hope the pairings remain the same from round to round. Either way, I know one half of a lot of the groupings, so that'll help us one way or another.

[team_mom]

[nods!]

There's no reason to gamble. I don't like to see the knights hurt, but... if we do our best to place our weights carefully, that should be enough. What an awful game...

[uneulogized]

Yeah, we can also see how likely it is our weights screw things over.

[team_mom]

Yes. We should discuss with the knights what they think they need in order to balance, since guessing blindly would be just as likely to get someone hurt.

[alternating]

Yeah! They should have a better idea than us.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Safety is better than winning.

[uneulogized]

Do we sit it out entirely?

[wouldntkilladragon]

...I want to help the knights. They get put on the chopping block enough as is. If we can balance them, we should. Carefully.

We may want to forgo betting at all. Us getting hurt can mess with a lot of knights.

[uneulogized]

People will bet, though. Probably.

Do you know enough of the knights well enough to balance them?

[alternating]

Being safe is best, but we should try to help the knights so they don't get hurt.

[wouldntkilladragon]

We can help without needing to bet. So we can stay safe, but still help.

[alternating]

Yeah. I don't think we should bet at all, especially if we can help with the weights we've got instead.

[ironicusername]

I'm down for playing damage control.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Lost a weight, huh.]

So, we wanna try anything?

[restorefromsave]

Our assistance with weights might be of more use now if you wished to offer. But it won't gain us anything.

[wouldntkilladragon]

It doesn't need to gain us anything. More about helping them at this point.

[restorefromsave]

I've no objection.

[uneulogized]

Minus a weight. We might be needed. Any pairings you think you can be knowledgeable about?

[wouldntkilladragon]

Only pairing I know both parties are Estelle and Steve, but they're likely to be pretty close.

[team_mom]

We should lend our weights to anyone that needs them... With one missing, it might be harder for the teams to cover everyone this time.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Nods.] So we'll look for people who seem to be having trouble.
