Library, Sunday 11/20

Raven was hoping for another quiet shift today so she could sneak out to the auditions at the Boards. She wasn't sure what she could offer since Azarath had no winter holidays, but she was spending some time looking for holiday songs from Earth online.

It did serve to distract her from worrying about Jono (though she couldn't wait to see his face when she gave him back his belongings). And from worrying about Bobby, since she had finally gotten Warren's message. She called Bobby and left him a voicemail, hoping this was some sort of mistake.

Basic Strategy, Monday, Period 4

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

There was a sentence on the whiteboard as the students filed into the classroom, and a handout sitting on each desk.

"If you know both yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without jeopardy." - Sun Tzu

Once everyone was seated, Tyrion started to talk. "If you know both yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without jeopardy," he read. "That is from The Art of War, by an ancient Chinese strategist named Sun Tzu. It's well regarded in this world. but all worlds have their books on how to fight a battle - mine certainly does -- and all of them have some good and some bad in them. "

He gestured to the whiteboard. "Many of them say something like that, too. And why do so many of them say that? Because it's true. You need to know your resources -- your men, your weapons, your strategy, your weak points -- but if you don't know those of your enemy, all of the accounting is for nothing."

"Your job this week is to discuss strategies you personally could use to get that information. Your enemy's certainly not going to wander up to your field tent and say" -- he affected an even posher accent than his own -- '"Hello, we'll attack from the North at three with a cavalry charge, I hope we're done by the time it gets dark because our commander's night vision is for shite.' So it requires a bit more cunning. Don't just tell me you'll dispatch spies or steal documents; tell me how, for whatever enemy you want to define. Starting with" -- he pointed randomly -- "you."
