[ A long, slow sigh ]

I think what you've described is the exact conflict Heart Soldier is currently facing as well.

I wish I had useful advice to give, but - I don't know how much of a satisfying conclusion we manage to reach.

What were things like for you guys?

... Terrible.

I wanted us to at least play hard enough to survive, but Hurricane couldn't agree. He wanted to pick only one balloon each round. But I was certain that would get us killed.

After we argued ourselves to a resolution there - we had to actually pick the teams we were willing to hit. But among all of us, we have connections on every single team here, except Baritones.

I'm sure you can imagine how things went as a result.

I can, since we have connections on even Baritones.

How do you feel about the result?
puzzlekeeper: the famous words of that good snake who doesn't want to get stepped on, the noble slithering bastard i relate to most ("don't tread of me")

Angry.

When it came down to my connections or my team's, I allowed it to be mine. And they died as a result.

I wish I hadn't done it.

[That is definitely The Mood]

[quiet and nonjudgemental:]

What would you have done instead? Sacrificed someone else's loved ones? Or stopped fighting so hard to live?
puzzlekeeper: (62)

I don't know.

I want my team to stop sacrificing themselves. I'm tired of seeing them hurt. But I don't want to force them to hurt their loved ones, either.

That's why I made the choice I did, but...

I don't think there's actually any good solution. Someone will always be hurt, no matter what.

Yeah.

I knew it was going to be hard, no matter the outcome. But I hoped we could at least play in a way we didn't regret.

In the end, I felt we were forced into a situation where playing without regrets became impossible -- forced not just by the game rules, but by my own unitmates.

We need to talk about what happened, but I'm taking a moment to calm down and get my thoughts in order, first.
