GM - Tiger's Eye

[dramatispersonae]

The room is like any other room, really—a cabin with a door, and windows, and beds. But the fireplace never gets warm, and the beds are hard, and the air is cold.

(Is it familiar, this place? It's hard to tell . . .)

On the table there is food—water, and dry bread, and there is a pot of stew that always stays warm, and full, and smells delicious.

There are also five cards, waiting for your decision.

I don't give a shit! They didn't have to hurt us either--guess what fucking happened! The only ones they're lookin' out for is themselves and the ones we gotta look after is ourselves. They ain't gonna give us points back, nobosy's that fuckin' generous, an' they're gonna keep hittin' us no matter what we do. Fuck 'em!

Re: DISCUSSION

They're giving them the chance, you don't know that no one's going to take it! Give it one more round! Just one!

Re: DISCUSSION

[karlsefni]

No. I already gave 'em a round. I said we'll see what happens this round, and see what happened. I'm not havin' this shit happen again!

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

No one could have given us anything in the first round, they didn't have enough points!

Re: DISCUSSION

[karlsefni]

They didn't have to play that card though! Guess what - no one's gonna make a pointless gesture like that! Not unless they just wanted to get someone hurt. An' if they do want to transfer points, it ain't goin' to us.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

How do you know that? You can't know something like that if you don't even give them a chance!

Re: DISCUSSION

[karlsefni]

How do you know they won't just hit us again!? They did that on the first fuckin' round when we said we wouldn't 'cuz we ain't throwin' the first punch! They did it once and they're gonna do it again an' if you think 'm gonna watch my teammates die then fuck yourself!

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

I don't want to see you die, Leif! I don't want to see anyone die because of this stupid game!

Re: DISCUSSION

[karlsefni]

Great! So we agree.

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

If we agree then we're not playing three cards!

Re: DISCUSSION

[karlsefni]

No, the point of playing three cards is so we don't see our teammates die!

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

It only takes us two cards to get out from being under, one card if we play it right!

Re: DISCUSSION

[karlsefni]

But it leaves us to round 3, and if we don't get hit this round we're gonna get hit the next round because there's seventeen teams and they all want to protect someone!

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

If they want to protect someone then they'll choose to protect! We can protect ourselves with only hitting one team so why wouldn't we do that?!

Re: DISCUSSION

[karlsefni]

Because we did that the first round! And in the first round we were hit by four other teams with 29 damn points and now we're in the negatives! Why the hell else!?

Re: DISCUSSION

[yourewaitingforagate]

They're not going to hit us again! Not that hard—!

Re: DISCUSSION

[karlsefni]

And if they do?
