Barghest

[soulping]

[You enter a room made entirely of thick glass and patterned porcelain. Fluffy pillows and beanbags are scattered across the floor, providing plenty of comfortable places to sit, but they probably don't make up for what's on the ceiling (spears of jagged glass, steaming kettles of some boiling liquid), or the view through the floor (a long, long drop down into a pit, wherein weapons glint, sharp and business-ends pointed up towards you).

A round table stands in the middle of the room. Upon it stands six vases, each one the color of one team, and a scattering of gems in three different colors: obsidian, sapphire, and crystals.]

Uwa...this is weird.

Instructions

[soulping]

Today's game is a simple one, my darlings. Who will you save? Who will you sacrifice?

You'll find twelve obsidian gems; these are your attacks. All of these must be played.
Six sapphire gems; each one will negate one attack.
Two crystals. Should you play one against a team that has chosen to attack yours, half of their total attack will be reflected back against them.

Deposit your gemstones in the vases whenever you're ready, but be warned—once played, they cannot be taken back.

Your goal is to be the least attacked or the most defended, dear hearts!

(OOC: This will be a one-round game! Please try to have your decisions in by 9PM EST.))

Uwa...

But I don't wanna hurt anyone...

...But if I don't, they're gonna hurt my team...

Re: Discussion

[recode]

. . . this is your definition of a game?

Re: Discussion

[criticalbark]

The other games weren't like this...

Re: Discussion

[recode]

Hmh. Regardless, I'm not letting you get yourself hurt. Which teams are you friendly with? Which teams do you dislike?

Re: Discussion

[criticalbark]

I'm friends with everyone, silly!

We should just use all our protect-y thingies on ourselves!

Re: Discussion

[recode]

Then what should we do about the attacks?

Re: Discussion

[criticalbark]

Ummm...

We should just choose randomly! That way it's fair!

Re: Discussion

[recode]

There are twelve of them though. . . how about this? We'll place two on each team, except ours. Then we'll place two randomly.

Re: Discussion

[criticalbark]

Okay!

Re: Discussion

[recode]

As for the last ones - well, there's a definite chance that regardless of who we choose, they'll choose us. So it doesn't matter.

Re: Discussion

[criticalbark]

I don't think Takshaka would hurt us, or the yellow team! I'm really good friends with both of them!

Re: Discussion

[recode]

Then we'll avoid putting any additional stones on either of them. That leaves - the red, dark blue and light blue teams.

. . . Let's put stones on the blue teams.

Re: Discussion

[criticalbark]

Okay!

[. . . where did that door come from?! It leads back to the Garden, and you're allowed to leave unscathed.]

Yay! Nothing bad happened!
