IRIS

[You find yourself standing on a wooden platform suspended from the ceiling of a stone dungeon lit by many torches. The platform is held up by 11 woolen threads in your color, and it sways precariously with every movement you make. It doesn’t seem very sturdy at all. . . though in addition to those 11 strings, there are 11 more attached to the side of the platform, one in each other team color. They’re within easy reach.

If you peer over the edge of your platform, you’ll be able to see the floor of the dungeon, though it might not necessarily give you comfort. Dozens of iron, pointy spikes are embedded into the ground, the sharp ends facing up. If you fall, it won’t be a pleasant trip down.

You can also see the other teams suspended on similar platforms around you. They’re far enough away that they probably can’t hear you talking on your own platform, but if you yell, you might be able to communicate. . .]

We won't be able to predict other people's movements and protect ourselves accordingly, but we can try to minimize the damage to other teams.

[pauses, thinking their options over, before speaking]

The best way to protect ourselves requires harming the most amount of teams.

Ruthlessness might not be necessary. My suggestion is to spread out the damage.

If we're being targeted on the first round, we can make sure to keep inflicting damage to the teams that have the lowest amount of string left in an attempt to protect ourselves.

Our team may look like an easy target to anybody outside of your connections.

[squares his shoulders, and nods]

Right.

Still, we need to cut at least two strings this round.
