day three

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day three 34 players remaining. There are no clocks in your dorm room to help you mark the passing of time, but at a certain point, in the early hours of the morning, a cheerful chime tune plays over the loudspeaker. Whether you're awake or asleep, the door to your dorm room is now unlocked. You'll have about a forty five minutes, in which you can get ready or grab some breakfast, before the door that allows you into the park unlocks. By this time, you may or may not have noticed that one of your number is missing. The chimes play again, to announce that the park is open, and the rides and music begin to come back to life as a voice plays over the loudspeaker. "Rise and shine! Let's have a lot of fun and look for the bodies, too!" You will have until 4 PM to explore the park and talk amongst yourselves. Somewhere in the park, you'll find the bodies of Dipper Pines and Mahiru Koizumi. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on September 30.

[ Mysterion looks kind of furious. ]

...You're a coward. Some leader you are, willing to let so many die to just spare a few. Your change of heart isn't going to make anyone automatically trust you.

Tell me, then, what you would do. Describe to me a strategy with any respectable chance of preserving more than twenty lives. Explain to me how you would heroically uncover every VIP and protect every Guest.

One death in two will carry with it the death of an unannounced partner. Whoever wins, open war between the Guests and the VIPs will invariably end in most of us dying. If the VIPs had been forced against their will to kill, then they could have used their conversions to save their partners, and ended this with a minimum of bloodshed.

Everything I do, I do with the hope of this ending with the greatest number of survivors. So yes, I would have preferred to make sacrifices for total certainty than gamble with people's lives.

So you're still a coward. I don't have a strategy. I don't even need to tell you one; having one wouldn't discredit my assessment of you.

I'd rather die knowing I tried to do the right thing than to have willingly sacrificed people who did nothing to deserve it. Maybe everyone's not as pragmatic as you. Maybe that's a fault. But I can't stand by what you're saying.

You must understand, though - you cannot choose to not sacrifice anyone. Whether you chose to fight the VIPs or arrange for their victory, many would die before the game ended. This was never a choice between whether or not to sacrifice, but a choice of which kind of sacrifice you believed to be less painful.

Of course, it's all moot now. Now that the enemy has shown their true colors, there is no option other than total war.

I guess.

What they're doing... They're picking off people who are too loud and potentially too useful.
