Anduin and Sapphire Slayers, with an extra tribe member apiece, you must each sit one person out.


Might as well condense everything into one thread. First order of business, who's sitting out? I'm going to be active during this time period, so I think I'll participate.

My gut: me and rag defend. Other attacks someone with 1 HP from Red.

We know Red wont attack Green. There IS a chance Green will help us attack Red now/in the future since Red appears more threatening. There is 0 chance Red will help us attack Green this round/future cuz they already went to war with us.

There is zero chance that Green will attack Red. The object is to eliminate 1 team. All they have to do is eliminate us and they get immunity. Your logic about 'it's blue and green vs. red to the end' is terribly faulty. This challenge isn't about 'sticking it' to Red, it's about not being the first team eliminated.

Maybe now you do the defend/attack each other trick. See if Green can get themselves eliminated.

Decent I guess considering our previous position. Not much more to discuss at this point, it's essentially us vs green. The safest course of action would be to attack one and defend one as a successful elimination would require both teams to completely avoid one player and attack the other. I say we shoot a green with one because that player is essentially a sitting duck already.

I say one attacks green and maybe one shoots the air. It is now Red's call on who wins. They basically have the power.

I am down for whatever the tribe thinks is best. Let me know what move you guys want me to make. I personally think that Shadowfax has some merit in the idea of shoot/defend since it might be all that we can do to protect ourselves.

Red will almost certainly come for us if they're thinking short term.

True, but I think Red's best move here is to do nothing. Let the other tribes duke it out, there HAVE to be some shots fired between the other tribes, and it's illogical for anyone to shoot Red at this point. That being said, I believe Red wants us to lose, so they might just say "fuck it, we have so many points it doesn't matter" and shoot all of us. I'm saying that one person should defend and one should attack because it almost guarantees that at least one person survives. There is no way both tribes guess which member to completely avoid and which member to attack.

Attacking other teammates is just a pointless play. Since the player shooting the teammate is guaranteed to lose a point, it is better to just have one person defend and the other do something else. Worst case scenario, the defender loses one point. Best case, no points lost.

Yeah Gothmog, I think that's what we should do this round myself.

oh, well I thought the shooting teammates was good since it made sure we'd survive to the next round. It's possible that Green attacks all Red, hoping that we defend and cause ourselves to die off. Atleast shooting a teammate means we'll have one more left for the next round.

Just saw the edit. It is now 2v2 instead of 3v2. Still like the one person defend one person shoot green plan. Only ways we can lose is if Green does nothing and Red shoots right (unlikely), if Green shoots right and we pick wrong, (same chance of the opposite happening), or if both Green defend and Red does nothing.

You know what, I can see that potentially working, not going to try to decipher all this wifom because it's just luck at this point and I have terrible luck. Someone else pick, options are:

1. Both attack Green (meh, risky as fuck)
2. One shoot one defend (Unlikely to lose but still a possible loss)
3. Shoot the other (Guaranteed only one person in next round but no other actions can be taken)

Actually, fuck it, let's do it. Radagast, shoot Eomer. Eomer defends.

Yea, that'd be the best move. Guarantees we move on one more round, and maybe green can lose all their points.

Remember that one time I brought up that strategy? Me too.

That strategy at the beginning of the game sucked, but the circumstances now call for it.
