Byzantium

Rules:
-Each team is dealt a hand of four cards. Each card has a point value between 1 and 10 and an attack.

-Each team will pick one card to play, and their first, second, and third choice of which team for the card to be played on.

-There is a 12 point limit on what cards will actually be accepted. Cards with higher values will be accepted first. After 12, the only cards that will be accepted are one with a matching point value. (e.g. if the highest card submitted is an 8, it will be accepted. If the next highest card submitted is a 7, and three 7s are submitted, all 7s will be accepted, but nothing lower than a 7 will be accepted).

-Only cards which are accepted will have their attacks carried out.

-Teams that have their cards accepted are protected from the attacks of other teams. If a team's first choice is protected, the card goes to their second choice.

-Teams whose cards go through also will not have to participate in the possible second round, should the game require one.



[You find that once the robot has moved away you cannot see or hear the other teams.

Your robot hands you four large, heavy stock cardboard cards, each with a point value and attack on it. You also get a black card, and a sharpie to write your choices on.]

But that was the last time. It's not always the case. There have been previous instances of post-game healing.

[just going to sort of not mention that those were in cases of death and once it caused the whole place to corrupt into a horrible rust pile]

This particular portrait was far from kind in its last appearance.

But we still can't risk it! If--I'll take responsibility for the decision, so...!

If these are our cards, imagine what is left to other teams.

That's the thing, isn't it. Because the most we've got is 8 points, which ain't a whole goddamn lot to fend off whatever is going to be played against us. And I'm pretty fucking sure that we are going to be targeted by other teams.

I'm not willing to let Byz go down without a fight.

And you will not fight alone.

Eight is pretty high when the maximum is ten...

If any two teams play higher cards, ours will not be accepted at all.

Celeste is almost definitely going to play their highest card. If we are targeted by them, then we are completely fucked if they have over eight.

I'm pretty sure we're in shit standings with a bunch of teams. I don't know how else to protect us if we don't play that card.

Nor I.

Speaking of Celeste, it is my suggestion that they are our first choice.

Agreed.

What other teams have issues with us? We aren't exactly team social grace so I honestly haven't the slightest fucking clue where we stand with people.

I do not know for certain... I know better which teams will not choose us, for their own reasons.

[if I could get away with headpets I would do that now]

Not turning against them is a help.

[sighs heavily]

Only a small one. I can't actually rely on Copper Rose or Saffron to not bus us despite my brother and best friend being on them. Not that I'm going to allow us to harm them but...

[personal profile] chastitybeltisland 2013-02-23 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yet we do not need to choose either of their teams.

[personal profile] brokenstrings 2013-02-23 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
I know. But if they target us?

... We cannot afford to deal in those what-ifs.
