Team Post: Turquoise

[dramatispersonae]

[The room you step into is bare and depressing. Gray, damp stone walls, a dusty and worn table, a few candles providing dim light . . . There is, at least, a meager spread of bread, cheese, and meat laid out on the table. A pitcher of water and a few glasses are set upon it as well.]

[Most notworthy as you enter the room, however, is the sudden implicit understanding of the rules of the game:

1. There are 13 teams, and 3 among them are "wolves". That is, 3 specific teams will be choosing another team to "eat" each night. The team that is selected to be eaten will be killed.
2. Each day, every team must participate in the poll to decide who among them is the most suspicious; the most likely to be one of the wolf teams that is eating someone each night.
3. The two teams chosen as the most suspicious each day will be put up together in a poll for everyone to discuss and vote on. Teams are to vote for who they believe to be the most suspicious between the two, and the team selected as the most suspicious will be executed.
4. Any attempt to save those being put to death will be severely punished.
5. Although the ultimate goal is to find the 3 "wolf" teams, that is not the only way to win memories. This particular rule is left somewhat vague, but there is the impression that Jacobi and Jabberwock will be considering other factors as well . . .

You also are aware of the fact that your team is are sheep]

. . .two ways to be killed. Great.

[medpacksapunch]

...Great... so we not only have to look out for people targeting us, but we have to be likeable and non-suspicious too, huh?

[screwthatnoise]

At least Echo is familiar with the mechanics of this game.

[screwthatnoise]

It's difficult, but doable. Last time, when Turquoise were wolves, we had to worry about lying, too.

[medpacksapunch]

--Oh, this has happened before? Well... at least you know what you're doing, then.

And I don't have anything against lying, especially to keep ourselves alive, but at least we don't have to worry about that...

[standbyrival]

This was ran before?

[standbyrival]

Define likeable.

[medpacksapunch]

Well... it goes along with not being "suspicious", kind of. I mean obviously you can be innocent and unlikeable but... if people already don't like you, they're going to look for more reasons to, or not mind so much if they have to suspect you.

Nobody wants to suspect people who are their friends though, right?

But um... you just keep on being yourself. I'm pretty sure if you changed now it'd be the most suspicious so... just leave the friend making to me, right?

[screwthatnoise]

Back in Beauty's realm. Only Echo and Storm participated.

[screwthatnoise]

Long before your time.

Yes... It was difficult. Everyone was suspicious. It was amusing how they scrambled though.

[medpacksapunch]

I see. Well... we'll do what we can.

[standbyrival]

How difficult was it?

[screwthatnoise]

...somewhat difficult. Turquoise were wolves during that game. It made a difference.

[standbyrival]

[snorts]

You don't have to worry about that. If people are going to get so desperate to find nonexistent reasons to suspect someone, they're the ones in trouble. But even if you were to find a lot of allies, it means squat if the wolves actually "eat" us.

[screwthatnoise]

That's all we can do. Observe, observe, observe.

[standbyrival]

You wouldn't have had to worry about getting picked at night. . .tch.

Well, whatever. We'll figure something out.

[medpacksapunch]

You're good at that, and Torrent and I can help, so we'll be okay.

[medpacksapunch]

Of course they're going to be desperate, especially if they don't have any other reasons to suspect anyone.

Either way... if we can get people on our side we'll be better off for it.

[screwthatnoise]

Echo remembers her strategy as a wolf. That will help us.

For instance, as wolves we removed any of the teams who were too close on our trail. If they were on top of the game, they were in our way.

However, we kept the teams that the others found suspicious—for our benefit.

It won't help us, but that's how the wolves will most likely work.

[standbyrival]

Even if they're on our side, that doesn't mean they can be trusted. Who are you trying to win over?

[screwthatnoise]

Yes. We should have no problem.

[also telling Paul about previous WOLF TACTICS!!]

[medpacksapunch]

I know that. But having the connections can't hurt us. We're sheep, anyway.

And nobody in particular. But I'm going to talk to the people I know...

[standbyrival]

It helps a bit. Basically, being too aggressive is like asking to be killed.

[medpacksapunch]

[sob team turq is already thinking like wolves it's like we overlooked the YOU'RE SHEEP part]

Right. I know we wont.

[screwthatnoise]

[IGNORE THE CONTRADICTION IN THAT LAST COMMENT...]

[nods]

Being too idle made you suspicious to sheep.
