VANARA VS ALECTRYON

[soulping]

[You are whisked away to a small, dark crypt. Torches flicker on the cobweb-covered walls and a mysterious stone altar stands in the center of the room. There are two holes carved into the top of the altar: one is empty, and in the other stands a rod with a team-colored flag attached. Lined up in front of the flag are guns for every member of your team, but you all know instinctively that they're harmless. Hanging on the wall behind the altar is a parchment with the instructions of the game.]

CEMETERY

[soulping]

[Venture outside of your crypts and you'll be back in the cemetery: still dark, still creepy, still covered in thick fog. Your opponent's base is across the graveyard from yours. Go get those flags!

Map
-Green squares and statues in rows are graves.
-Large green diamonds in opposite corners are crypts. Vanara is on top left, Alectryon is on bottom right.
-Grey rectangles are mausoleums. There are five and they are all open to enter.]

[ Glancing over the rules. ]

This doesn't sound too difficult...

[(unsure)

takes one of those guns...]

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

Protect our flag and grab theirs, huh? What's the plan?

[hatebound]

[also takes one]

It would seem this is another one of these 'sneaking' games. . .

[>:\]

[allergictostairs]

...are you good at "sneaking".

[at least we're both tiny enough to duck behind graves?]

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

[ Thinking... ]

...We lose if our flag is on their altar, right? But not if it's just in their crypt?

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

Seems like it.

[fires his gun at a cobweb, just to test the sucker out]

[hatebound]

[unfortunately his helmet adds like an extra foot of easily spotted headfins]

I would rather face my opponents. But if we need to be discreet to win this game, then I will try.

[or he can just shoot the other team in the face a lot, whatever]

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

What if one of us hides the flag on our person - like in my bra, or something - and then goes to steal their flag? And the other one of us just hides out of sight so they can't be shot.

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

Is that really okay? It doesn't seem like it'll hurt...

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

It doesn't sound like it's against the rules, so it should be fine.

[allergictostairs]

[welp]

Uh, well, I guess we could just try and shoot 'em all first if that would be easier...

[ambush?? that's sneaky right]

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

I can stay here? They'll be coming, after all. Maybe I can...

[Defeat them? Stop them? Fearfully snipe them from the shadows?]

...slow them down a little?

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

If we both get shot three times, we're out of the game. If the flag's not here, you don't need to guard it, so it might be better for you to avoid being shot entirely since I'll probably be shot plenty.

[hatebound]

[hmm]

We could either wait for them to arrive here, or take our flag with us to try and ambush them.

[allergictostairs]

Yeah... either way would work, I guess?

[as long as they stick together they'll have decent firepower, right?? enough to overwhelm the other guys if they come one at a time... assuming there aren't too many]

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

Oh... okay. If you think I'll be a liability, I can hide.

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

...That's not what I meant. I mean, we can switch positions if you want to be the one with the flag down your pants, that's not the issue. It's more a concern of making sure we don't set ourselves up for failure.

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

Maybe I could take the flag and you could do the sneaking?

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

[ Shrugging. ]

Sure, go ahead, I don't really care either way. Hide the flag somewhere safe, and then go loot their place for their flag. I'll hide away so you can have time.

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[murimurimuri]

Right! I'll hide it somewhere good!

Re: ALECTRYON CRYPT

[notsuperman]

Good luck.
