3rd Edict [voice] [filtered from The Joker, Carnage, Bullseye, Marisa Coulter, Angelica]

Greetings, everyone.

I am afraid I really cannot speak in support of the current movement towards an offensve against the - HIVE, was it? Although I am sure everyone involved has the best of intentions, I am unsure of the soundness of the strategy. Unless, of course, you are all quite intent to go to war with these people, in which case I would urge you to be sure that you are not acting in haste.

Still, such matters are hardly in my hands to influence.

I saw a mention of chess by a previous poster, but I believe she was not a particularly reputable person, so I did not reply. A shame, I rather enjoy the game. It caused me to wonder, in fact, what games all of you enjoy - there are very many people here from different worlds and times. It would be interesting to see what different games we are all familiar with, and indeed how many games spread across worlds. Many games, such as chess itself, are a form of recreational practise in strategy, after all - something vital to the progress of civilisation. Ah, but I am afraid I have brought up the subject of warfare once more. It seems impossible to avoid at times, given human history and the influence it has upon all our lives.

Still, if I might return to my intended query, what is your favourite game? Board game, card game or otherwise.

Mr. Stark, if I might have a word? I assure you it is purely a business matter I wish to discuss.

I enjoy most games, but I'm especially fond of TRPGs! And all strategy games, really!

[Voice | Same filter]

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

TRPGs? I am not familiar with that term, I think. Could you name an example or explain it further?

[Voice | Same filter]

[shiromadoushi]

Aah, Tabletop Roll Playing Games! If you've heard of Dungeons and Dragons, that's a good example of them!

[lyingbrat.livejournal.com]

My favorite game? I dunno. "Tag" or "hide and seek" or "capture the flag" I suppose.

the filter is totally thanks to Lyra, btw :3

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

Ah, those are good games. I used to play hide and seek with my sister and the other Fremen children.

XD :D

[lyingbrat.livejournal.com]

They're fun. I spent most of my time out of doors, so I never played many board games. Besides, you can only play those with one other person, or maybe a few others, depending on the game.

I'm familiar with quite a few games. Especially strategy games. I couldn't pick a favorite.

[voice]

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you could suggest some of the best, then? I admit, chess is my personal favourite, but I am quite eager to learn of new ones.

[voice]

[spiritofkulelna.livejournal.com]

Chess is certainly a favorite of mine as well. As for others...

Go is interesting. Similar to chess in complexity, although...it's difficult to compare it to much. All about taking territory and blocking out the opponent.

...I suppose Risk would be similar., although with more players.

Tabletop RPGs are always exciting as well.

Of course, what can I do?

I am looking to build a... well, I suppose you could call it both a home and a base of operations, though I have no truly grand plans as such, here in the desert. It suits me better than the City, and I was hoping to make a home away from home, as it were. This would include an enclosure for wildlife, and several other facilities. I was wondering if I might contract Stark Industries to build it for me? I can send you the specifications.

I think that we could take your business, certainly. How soon do you need it?

Games that can result in a great gain + loss.

voice

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

[Sounding amused and interested] Oh? Theoretically, that could be any game - if the players were inclined to wager.

[the-grimheaper.livejournal.com]

The games I play require everyone to put 4ward their best, therefore reach for perfection! [A small laugh]

[emperorshand.livejournal.com]

So you think there's a war brewing, and you're asking about games?

[ Voice ]

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

It seemed an apt time to do so. There won't be much opportunity should it happen, after all.

[text, German, translated forever]

[clockworkaria.livejournal.com]

Games and war are one and the same.

[voice]

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

In many principles, you are correct. It's all a matter of context.

[littleprovolone.livejournal.com]

You... you don't really think it's going to be war, do you??

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

I hope that it is not, but such things have a tendency to escalate quickly.

[satisfiedsigner]

Duel Monsters~ But it only exists in my world; it isn't here.

[voice: translated Japanese forever]

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

That is a shame. There is no comparable game here?

[loltraitorlol.livejournal.com]

Tag...

... at mach 2.5, a few thousand feet above the surface of the planet.

There is no better rush.

[suck-it-irulan.livejournal.com]

Well, now. I doubt I could experience that.

But flying ornithopters has always held a special thrill, as it were.
