Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“I thought you said that the more expensive sets did have such things marked though, Autolycus?” Kallithyia asked with some interests. [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Even the ones with markings just have the general numbers--you still have to remember the situational adjustments, so those numbers on the markings are no guarantee for victory if you rely on them overly much."[/SBLOCK]

RA: [sblock]“Are the situational bonus random or as numeric as the rest of the game?” Kallithyia asks more interested in the debate than the actually game, “if so, then they too give a wrong impression of war… War is more random than numerically.” [/sblock]

"Well, as you saw, the bonuses are indeed static for each situation, but that is more of a conceit of the strategy game--of course a true general knows that even the best laid plan will need to change the instant it encounters the random factors of war, but the idea of the game is to at least have a sound strategic basing, I think, assuming away the randomness. So I guess it is more of the basics, but it is still fun, or at least I think so. Did you have fun, Kallithyia?"[/SBLOCK]

RA: [sblock]“I’m not sure if I agree with a game that can end in a tie, it teaches someone not to lose and not how to win,” Kallithyia repeated her honest opinion as she smiled, “but I did have fun till the end.” [/sblock]

"Well, games usually do not end in a tie--I'm sure if we played it again, we'd have a winner, but it does make sense that a practise game ended in a tie since we started out slowly. I think the reason for the tie rule is that if you get down to two commanders, the game may become pointless, based on who the two commanders are--for instance, if it was just Camilla and my Archon, I could have my Archon stand with her back to the edge of the board and you couldn't kill her, and I couldn't kill Camilla without being slain by the goddess."[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“It is possible, even with only one warriors each it is a game of numbers and not skill, as in the warrior’s skill, and chance,” Kallithyia admitted as she pointed to the noble Camilla, “anyhow, I thank you for your entertainment, Autolycus, and I free you from having to entertain me so you can go and get your sleep.”

OOC: Is Kalli tried yet?

[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]
"Yes," Autolycus yawns, "Sorry that I'm so tired...Would you like to meet again for a little while tomorrow?"

(OOC: Kalli is still energetic thanks to her Symbiosis. She'll need perhaps two hours of sleep some time in the next eight hours, but that's it for the day)

RA: [sblock]“No need to apologize, Autolycus, and sure that sounds like fun,” Kallithyia said with a shyly before she offered her bed to him, “I’m not really tried, in fact I felt like getting out of my room for awhile so why don’t you sleep in my bed. It’s got to be far more comfortable than whatever they have you sleeping in.” [/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]
"Are you sure? That's awfully kind of you, Kallithyia--I will gratefully accept," Autolycus replies, "Shall I wait for you to leave before disrobing to my smallclothes for the night?"[/SBLOCK]
