That's the easiest decision down, any strong feelings on the rest of them?

Re: DISCUSSION

Target the punishments toward people we think they'd affect the most?

Re: DISCUSSION

[moonlit_knight]

Aiming to send a message?

Re: DISCUSSION

[chirpchirpmfer]

It's just tactics. You use your hand where it's most effective.

Re: DISCUSSION

[moonlit_knight]

Effective at what, exactly? What's your goal?

Re: DISCUSSION

[chirpchirpmfer]

To win?

Re: DISCUSSION

[moonlit_knight]

Obviously. But we could accomplish that by playing the cards randomly. Stacking punishments on one person we don't like or rewards on one person we do. So when you say 'effective', what do you mean?

Re: DISCUSSION

[chirpchirpmfer]

I mean matching punishments to people who'd be most affected by them! Like you cast a slow spell on the fastest characters so it brings the overall speed down, right? There's no point casting slow on someone average unless they're the healer, or on the slowest person.

Re: DISCUSSION

[moonlit_knight]

You do that to give yourself an advantage in your fight. What's the benefit we're getting by doing that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[chirpchirpmfer]

What if right after this is when we have that fight to the death?

Re: DISCUSSION

[moonlit_knight]

If it's immediately after then we might do ourselves a favour, but if this is long term we're making our opponents feel personally attacked in ways they may remember for the next trial.

I'm not against it, I just want to make sure we're not painting a bigger target on our back then necessary.

Re: DISCUSSION

[chirpchirpmfer]

Mnnngh, that's reasonable, but I don't think it's unreasonable for us to toss this card on that guy in this circumstance. Who'd reward that kinda attitude?
