CARNELIAN

[ When you step into the room, you'll find it dimly lit once more, with a spotlight over a simple wooden table with chairs around it. On the table are three cards, one with a single word on it, one with a short phrase, and one with the rules. You can also hear Peter's voice, though you can't see him. ]

You can't just be strong and brave to be a good adventurer, you know. You must also be very clever. I'm so very clever that I can get other people to say exactly what I want them to say all the time. But I must know if any of you are as clever as I am. To make it much easier for you, I will give you a word and a phrase that you must get other people to say to you. Every person you trick will get you points and you'll get more points for phrases!

… Oh, and no cheating! If another team figures out your word or phrase and tells it to me, they'll steal one of your end points! Oh, oh, and let's make a bet if you think you are the most clever! If you tell me the name of one specific person you can trick into saying your word or phrase, then I'll give you double the points for it! But if you fail, you'll lose points. Won't that be most interesting?

Game Start

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

1) Your goal is to trick a person/multiple persons on another team into saying your word/phrase to you.
2) You cannot say your word or exact phrase to another team, but you can try to prompt another team indirectly into saying your phrase.
3) Your character cannot remain silent during the game. If they try not to say anything, they'll feel compelled to respond instead.
4) If your team figures out another team's word and/or phrase, they can submit it under "TURN IN" to steal up to two points from that team! (One for the word, one for the phrase)
5) You can also make a bet with Peter Pan. Under "THE BET," you can submit the name of a specific person (1 per teammate ie 3 teammates, 3 targets) you are confident in being able to trick into saying your word and/or phrase. If you succeed, you'll earn double points. If you fail, you'll lose points equal to the original value of the points. A team cannot all pick the same target.
6) Once you've succeeded in tricking someone into saying your word/phrase, submit the thread to "TURN IN"

Card 1: "magic"
Card 2: "what's wrong with you?"

[ TALKING TO PEOPLE I DON'T LIKE??? ]

I'm fairly sure you can get people to say "what's wrong with you" quite easily.

[ That isn't funny and I won't reward you by reacting to it. ]

[it's super funny and you love me]

Hahah! No need to make such a sour face.

I am making the face you deserve.

Hey now, it's going to work to our advantage. I think I can get people to say that too, with a little work... But I'm not as certain.

I don't know about magic, but I'll try my best at it, too. Anyway! Think you can make someone in particular say those things?

No.

Ah, that's too bad.

I advise against it.

I wasn't saying we should do it. If none of us is certain they have a easy enough target, it's a pointless risk.

[ Nod. ]

Then we're finished here.

If we work hard, we should be able to get enough points.

You just be yourself.

[ Sigh. ]

If you speak with someone on one team, speak with all of them and compare how they steer the conversation.

Ordering me around already?

But it's a good strategy, so I don't mind.

Order is my nature.

That's not surprising.

This seems easy.

Well, we have to be careful about not letting people find out what our words are, but I think we can do it.

Magic...

Beatrice would probably say it, though I don't know how to make it not obvious that's what I'd want her to say.

"Probably" isn't good enough. If we're not certain our target will definitely say it, it's a pointless risk. Especially if she could pick up on you trying to make her say it.

Maybe we should try to guess other people's sayings to help them? Then they'll be less wary of trying not to say our sayings.

Hah? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

If we figure out what they want us to say and we say it anyway, we'll just be giving them points. I don't think they'll be less wary of us at all.

[ Nod. ]

Sure they will! We help them, they help us.

Potentially it could give everyone really high points to which the persona might give everyone memories. Or at least it might give us enough points than other uncooperative teams.

Why would they? We're competing against one another, not having fun together. Frankly speaking, this is more than just poor strategy— it's relying on other people being nice and cooperative. And that's the farthest thing from clever.

It was just an idea.

If you guess what want you to say, make sure not to say it no matter what and turn it in. And try to be careful with out word and phrase, too.

Let's stick to playing the game how it's meant to be played.

Good luck.

No one will be that obvious when they will lose points for our discovery of their word.

...hm, you might be right.

Name your target here. You must pick a target before beginning play!

[ no bet ]

[Ryner says magic.]

Iolite - Ring. Emerald - morning.
