[ Suddenly you find yourself on top of a large, team-colored tower -- the ones in the center of the lake, to be precise. Inspecting closer you’ll find that the tower is actually made of removable blocks: large, brittle candy blocks.

Looking around you, all of the other teams’ towers are visible to you, in a circle around the wide lake. But although you can make out the number of blocks in each tower and which team they belong to, it is impossible to yell between towers. Huh.

On top of your platform is a set of three objects on a table, with a sign that says “Eat one and win!”: a Jawbreaker, some Peanut Brittle, and a small cup of Whipped Cream.

There are no handrails or edges, and if you peer over the side, you can see that your tower is standing in a lake made of jello. . . ]

ROUND 1

[soulping]

ITEMS:

JAWBREAKER: cause two random blocks to be shaken out of an enemy’s tower, and a 1 in 3 chance of them losing a random block the next turn (roll a 3 on a d3)
WHIPPED CREAM: become disoriented, losing the ability to decide what blocks you pick for one round. Effects stack if multiples are played on the same team; does not affect special attacks.
PEANUT BRITTLE: removes two blocks of your choosing from an enemy’s tower.

[. . . I have no idea what kind of game this is, also why is everything candy]

Re: Discussion

[science_genius_girl]

Maybe it's like... reverse Tetris?

Re: Discussion

[lucciola]

[at least I have sort of an idea to what tetris is]

It certainly looks like something akin to that.

[ hello, it is Baby's First Game and I am very confused. ]

What—

Re: Discussion

[foulhussy]

What the shit is Tetris or any of this stuff?

Re: Discussion

[lucciola]

Tetris is a game where you build up with blocks, and try to made them fit together to make a row that will disappear.

Re: Discussion

[foulhussy]

Oh. Weird. Well, we gotta go on the attack, too.

Re: Discussion

[science_genius_girl]

Right, now we're trying to get rid of blocks people already have built up.

Re: Discussion

[lucciola]

[nods]

It seems we need to pull blocks from our own tower each turn, for four turns. But we have only three candies supplied... do we want to use them instantly or wait?

Re: Discussion

[foulhussy]

I feel like people will probably use them in the last round.

Re: Discussion

[science_genius_girl]

We should wait at least once.

In the meantime, where should we start removing our own blocks? I think it might be better to start in the middle than the bottom.

Re: Discussion

[lucciola]

Yes. The supporting pillars are usually at the edges, so it would be wise to pull from the middle.

[ confused cat rubs at his head a little in embarrassment, because this is going to be awkward. ]

Ah, sorry, but what team is this? I'm new, so...

Re: Discussion

[foulhussy]

Our name's hard to say, so just call us Omelettes.

Re: Discussion

[lucciola]

[I can be helpful]

Ometotchtli. But yes, it is easier to say Omelettes. Or... ah, bunnies, I suppose.

Re: Discussion

[science_genius_girl]

I'm Omen. This is my first game, so I apologize.

It's nice to meet you, Castling.
