Instructions: I have heard of the games before, wolves and sheep. They didn't seem much fun. This time, it is just a game and perhaps something much quicker. How does this sound—I've picked four teams to be my special foxes. It is their job to work together and stay hidden. The rest of you against them (do I have to call you anything, since you're just normal?) will try to find them within the next three hours.

But to make things more fair, there will be a clue. You see all the teams arranged just so? In each row and each column, there will be only one fox team. That helps, doesn't it? I think it should.

When your team thinks it knows who's a fox, place a vote on them. You have one vote per team, per row. If you have not voted when time runs out, then I won't be able to score you for whether you were right or not...

Foxes will receive points for every team who doesn't vote for them and a large bonus if no fox teams are considered the most suspicious, so it's to their benefit to work together.

The rest of you will get points for guessing right and a large bonus if you get all four teams right.

On the other hand...

There might be some bonuses for other things as well—but it's more fun if you don't know everything, right?

It is a game, so it should be fun.

ETA: Absent teams MAY be foxes, or may not be.))

Are you alright...?
blackjacked: ([kid] judging you more than slightly)

[waves a hand]

'M fine. This set up just brings up bad memories.

[waves a hand and forces the tension away, pulling up a smile]

S'okay. Let's just play, all right?
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you look like that.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[He nods slowly]

Um... Yeah...
blackjacked: ([kid] chillin' like a villain)

It's actually pretty easy to figure out, too. The grid we're given makes it a simple logic game.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry i love you.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... still need the clues, right?
blackjacked: (Poof poof poof)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-20 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
The grid is the clue. The rest. . . well. That's up to us.
squirreledaway: (I'm... ///)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... I guess that makes it difficult if you have teams that aren't there that are foxes.
blackjacked: (Tinkering with magic icon)

[scanning the crowds] Which teams are missing?
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry it's the end.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Iolite and Tiger's Eye, it looks like.
blackjacked: (Un deux trois...)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[nods]

. . . so. Is Peridot a fox team?
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I look like Lelouch here.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[shakes his head]

No, not unless we're supposed to find out later.
blackjacked: (Maybe we can share the shiny?)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think you're supposed to, unless Kitsune is playing with a weird set of rules.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry we don't need so many knives.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Iolite's here now, but Tiger's Eye is still missing, so it's going to be hard to find it on our row, I think. If the foxes are anyone not them, it'd be easy to point to them.
blackjacked: (Maybe we can share the shiny?)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
It still could be them, too.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I look like Lelouch here.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[HE SIGHS.]

I kind of wish I wasn't playing alone.
blackjacked: cybuddy @ LJ (Oh hullo)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Games like this are easier to play with a teammate.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I can't.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm...

Hey, what do you think of Vincent's vote? Even though he's my teammate's brother... I don't actually know him that well.
blackjacked: (THINKING FAIS)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Haa. . . neither do I. I've never talked to the guy before now.

But I think he's up to something.
