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.]

See you on the other side?

[acquest]

Don't bring realism into this fucking yet, let's at least decide who we're sending our "fuck you" attempt to before we assume crash positions.

[remarch]

Teal. Definitely Teal, and what about Byzantium for second?

Our only other option is to low ball and hope everyone wastes theirs in the first round and a second round goes down.

[unquestion]

I'd rather start high. Copper Rose for a third?

[acquest]

. . . March has a fucking point, our hand goddamn sucks, but who the fuck knows what the criteria for a second round is. But if we go high, no fucking objections to that.

[remarch]

We know we're fucked if most of the teams landed a higher number- Eight isn't good enough. But if everyone goes for the maximum, then eight might have a shot when all the nines and tens are gone. It depends on the round numbers.

[acquest]

Right, so, either we hope really fucking hard that no one has the stomach to do anything worse than an amputation, or we are supremely fucked!

[headhuntress]

[just. holds up two fingers.]

[acquest]

Fucked seems to be the consensus!

[unquestion]

Panther-sa... You're agreed, right?

[headhuntress]

[crosses her arms and nods.]

[remarch]

We're all dead, welcome to Celeste!

[headhuntress]

[how am i even supposed to react to that...]

[remarch]

[Embrace the manic despair and gallows humor.]

Has anyone told you that we revive if we die? Not that it won't hurt.

[headhuntress]

[...shakes her helmet.]

[Your robot, which has been still since giving you your cards, abruptly lifts it's free hand over your platter. You have just enough time to realize what is about to happen before it crashes down, crushing you and everyone on your team.]
