TOPIC | The Games That Gods Play
1 2
It's a well-known fact that Shadow dragons love games. I believe the word used by FR on the World Map is "enthralled". Of course, this would also include Shadowbinder. Since she is THE Shadow Dragon. So! Today's topic is... What games does Shadowbinder play with the other members of the pantheon? More importantly, who wins? (As always, let me know your own thoughts/answer!) My Answer: [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=earth rune size=1][/center] I see calm games of Go, Shogi, or even Karuta being played between Earthshaker and Shadowbinder. Shadowbinder always wins, because she cheats quite flagrantly. Earthshaker is quite aware of her cheating, but lets her... He's just glad someone came to visit him. [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=water rune size=1][/center] Between these two, the game would have to have a lot of rogue-like aspects that are out of either players control... And maybe with a bit of a horror/lovecraft element. A game that is sort of like Betrayal at House on the Hill. It's actually 50/50 on the win ratio. [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=fire rune size=1][/center] They played Risk once. Shadowbinder won (actually honestly for once). Flamecaller flipped the table, called Shadowbinder a cheater, and left. They haven't played a game since. [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=wind rune size=1][/center] It's a confusing game, a sort of a combination of all games of all natures... You see, Windsinger loves a good story, and Shadowbinder loves a good trick. What better game is there for these two to play then with the lives of actual dragons? Also why Pinkerlockes happen. And it is traditionally deity-like. No one and everyone wins. [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=ice rune size=1][/center] Icewarden refuses to play because he knows Shadowbinder cheats. That... doesn't mean he isn't interested in games... He actually does want to! Just... Not her. [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=lightning rune size=1][/center] Now, I know what you are thinking... Stuffy old Stormcatcher? Playing games? No way... But I assure you, he does. Strategy deck-building games. His deck is OP, and guarantees him wins within 10 turns. Shadowbinder won't play him. [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=plague rune size=1][/center] Plaguebringer loves those competitive adaptive-type strategy games. So stuff like Evolution, and of course Pandemic. Shadowbinder usually wins, but Plaguebringer doesn't mind... She says the sessions give her new ideas. [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=nature rune size=1][/center] Gladekeeper also likes competitive adaptive-type strategy games.... She's just doesn't want to admit it. So she got into deck-building games instead. She likes Mystic Vale. And she actually wins a lot. [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=arcane rune size=1][/center] What? Games? I don't have time for that! My work is not even close to being done. Okay, fine, one game... Wait, I lost? I demand a rematch! [center][emoji=shadow rune size=1]vs.[emoji=light rune size=1][/center] They've been playing the same match of Glimmer and Gloom for ages. And it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon.

This seems 99% accurate. That other 1%? Tidelord. That would just be Shadowmama playing solitaire in Tidelord's empty hall. Or room, or throne, whatever it is the deities reside in.
