[gonna just silently contemplate those rules for a minute]

Quite true, isn't it? But we'll need to choose between the pair of us as well...

Yes, we do.

[hm]

Death in games is not permanent. I would rather fight than simply be deleted, but if we fail I could. . . how is it said? 'Take one for the team.'

Put you up to the block, you mean? It hardly seems fair that way.

It wouldn't be any more or less fair for it to be you. This game is not kind, but the rules are straightforward enough.

I understand... I won't stop you if that's what you want.

It's necessary, if one of us is to survive should we fail.

Which is why we should avoid failure.

The best chance we have is to decide quickly and attempt to come up with some manner of sacrifice.

[nods]

Only half of the sacrifices will be accepted, so we need to ensure ours is sufficient.

What do we have? Some odds and ends and our own bodies?

There is that. Perhaps they would also take offers of negative effects, such as blindness or inability to speak.

Only one way to find out if that's good enough, I suppose!

If we both make an offer, it may increase our chances. Do you have a preference for yours?

I know which would bother me more, though I think that could pass it for more valuable.

Considering the last two games, that does seem likely. I think I'll offer my sight. . . and a favor to each of the echoes running this game, for good measure.

[maybe old fashioned bribery will help too??]

Oh, that's a lovely idea! As for myself, my voice is easy enough to offer, though harder to imagine losing. Just think of it, unable to communicate with others! How would anyone get anything accomplished? Hand gestures only go so far, and only when one has hands with which to give them.
