It's simply the truth. What would I have to gain by pretending to be strong when I have nothing to back it up with? It would be simply a mask to hide my fear behind, one that would crumble as soon as I am forced to participate. I would like to think I am at least more honest than that.

[(Anonymous)]

There's a lot of things to gain. There's no chance you'll improve or do any better than you expect unless you act like there's a chance. And bluffing can be a strategy that could save your life by itself.

[(Anonymous)]

That is sound advice, and I thank you for it. :) At the same time, I fear I do not have it in me to be able to lie like that, at the very least at this moment. It may indeed change as time goes on, but there is no other way but wait and see.

To tell the truth I am not too scared of losing my life, as it appears we cannot truly die here, but I did receive a lecture on the effects my death might have on those who love me. On the other hand, I do not know how much such allegiances would mean in a game.

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the time games are picking the best of bad choices. That doesn't mean the choice doesn't matter, and it doesn't mean people aren't still upset about the result.

And just because it hasn't been permanent so far doesn't mean you should take death lightly even yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

But if I prioritize myself, that means taking the death of others lightly, or at the very least more lightly than my own. I cannot do that.

[(Anonymous)]

Why not?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know. I just know that I cannot. 'In the bones', I think the phrase is?

[(Anonymous)]

That's stupid. You're the one person who should prioritize yourself over everyone else.

[(Anonymous)]

What do you mean? Simply because I am myself?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes.

[(Anonymous)]

Why? What makes me more special than others?

[(Anonymous)]

To you? You're yourself. Why should you prioritize anyone else?

[(Anonymous)]

I think it makes me happy. I like people.

[(Anonymous)]

You can like people and still defend yourself. The people who like you would probably prefer it.

[(Anonymous)]

To me there is a difference between defending myself and killing someone for it. I would do my best to incapacitate them, maybe. Or run away.

You are correct on the second count, however. A friend was quite indignant with me for suggesting I would sacrifice myself.

[(Anonymous)]

That tends to be the usual reaction.

[(Anonymous)]

Am I different, then? I would certainly be saddened to see someone I love die, but I feel like I would respect their choice. It is their life, after all, and I have no claim to it.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, some people are that way. I may spend most of my time with people who are too stubborn for that.

[(Anonymous)]

I've gathered many people here are like that. :) My friends called my views naive several times, but I do not mind. Is it bad to be naive?

[(Anonymous)]

It sounds like a lot of your friends are Baritones, so probably most of them aren't into that, anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. Are they the only unit with such views?

[(Anonymous)]

No. But they tend to be on that side of things.

[(Anonymous)]

Can you tell me what the others are like?

[(Anonymous)]

I can tell you what I think. But I'd rather not here.

[(Anonymous)]

We could meet up somewhere?
