eris would rob a bank and then hire a PI to go after one of the journalists in a national local newspaper, blackmail them if they dont put out some type of amber alert for terrorism when it's actually false. that would cause each person who's hiding to leave their current spot and flee town, therefore he could trace them and inevitably plant bombs into their cars as they take bathroom breaks

sachy is the one of the best villains here, she could look at anybody and turn them into an ice cube. it's almost winter here in the US so that would mean at least 24 hours, do whatever u want, melt the ice and burn them alive in the process.

"going on the offensive" would not be done in a silly way. My protector, for instance, could be the go-between.

Psh we're coordinated too.

In all seriousness though you'd be fine. You'd need to drop off the face of the earth and start a quiet life in some town under a fake name. Any of eris/me/lucid could help you do that given enough motivation so pick any of them and don't do something silly like poke your nose out to "go on the offensive" and you're likely fine unless there exists a way to lead back to you which is largely based on chance.

Of course the 9 of us would just spend our days bribing/threatening people to get access to whatever information we think you might've left pointing to your next location and whether or not that succeeds would depend on a lot of things and you can't assure either outcome considering the attackers in theory have a lot of resources if motivated.

but it really starts to get circular and could end up a semi-stalemate, a battle of luck/precautions/resources, or just a look-no-matter-what-you're-doomed-by-the-numbers match, hence

i picture the game being set in a hunger games style arena rather than the real world


would be more fun to discuss

but i don't know any of these people so just, eris for skills and companionship or lucid because he's a medic

Arcbell says

Actually, wait. We'd all just try to live very healthy, active lives and get regular checkups. Chances are one of us will live to see the day you die.


assuming this is even allowed

then at some point i'd have eris, or my chosen protector, use that time to do that whole 'offensive' thing. You can say "if you went on the offensive, we'd outnumber you" but there's the matter of coordination which you can't take for granted. Also, i'd be able to live my life healthily too, depending on my level of paranoia about your plan. (Chances are still that 1 of you would outlive me assuming you were all devoted purely to living as long as possible for that cause and assuming some of you are below 30.)

In the meantime, the OP says you need to "kill," so you might lose if you let me die of natural causes

Actually we wouldn't do anything. Nope, we'd just let you hide. We wouldn't even try to find you.

The 9 of us would just continue to live normal, modest lives for about 40 years, doing our best to raise our net worth. At which point we'd all pool our capitol and put out a very large bounty on your head. What's an old 59 or howevermany years old you'd be granny gonna do against hitmen?

I'd probably sacrifice abc because it'd be most believable.


what's there to believe or disbelieve why would it matter if u thought the person who committed the crime was a terrorist? If anything abc would be the most likely to frame a child for such a thing. they'd look at his records of gamethrowing/cheating/whatever on mafia websites and go "geez, this guy's a total sociopath. he probably did this just to frame someone."

if you're forced into a game like this and made aware of it, you would hide yourself before anything else too. i'm not the only one.

Sincerely says

like i know it's easy to find out where you are just normally i'm not THAT ignorant


Well, for starters, if I was an attacker against you Sincerely in this game, and if you live in the states (I don't know if you do) I'd sacrifice one of my attackers to commit some act of terrorism and fail and plant evidence on themselves incriminating you in it. This would get you on the no fly list if nothing else. Now you're stuck in the states.

The rest of us (8) would work from there.

eris came back as a member of the undead i.e. is nigh invincible i.e. is objectively the best choice because the last thing u want is for ur enemies to pick off ur protector

eris killed himself. what's the point in choosing a corpse defend you, unless you plan on using maybe his thigh bone as a club. or if he was cremated you could use the ashes like pocket sand.

the correct answer to this thread is "doesn't matter, as long as lucid's on the other side, his incompetence will save you"
