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.))

Enough, I think. She's nice.
performing: (fair words spoke he)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-20 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[nods] That's good to hear.
tsunbender: (pic#3276576)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-20 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. She's just interested in the concept, not . . . hurting people.
performing: (water in the ear)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-20 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Then all that's left is just figuring out her riddle, right?
tsunbender: (pic#3276793)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-20 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[he's still a bit tense, though]

Is Sapphire one of the foxes?
performing: (conveniently dormant psychic powers)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-20 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think so? She'd tell us if we were, right?
performing: (I'M going over HERE)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-20 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it works if you don't even know you're lying ...
tsunbender: (pic#3598643)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-20 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I guess the foxes would know.
performing: (oh.  me?)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-20 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we're not. You're not, are you?
tsunbender: (pic#3266078)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
No, we aren't.
performing: (little alone in the big world)

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

At this point, I sort of think arbitrary guessing might work best.
tsunbender: (pic#3265649)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
It might, but . . . we want to do it properly.
performing: (n?)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
How do you even do it properly ...
tsunbender: (pic#3265701)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Try to find things that look suspicious?
performing: (n?)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
...

I think I'd be bad at this game.
performing: (cherry pie)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[shrugs] I don't know what to do, then.
tsunbender: (pic#3265701)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Random guessing might be a good method.
performing: (yes that makes perfect sense)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe on who's the best cooks? ... or a counting game ...
tsunbender: (pic#3266032)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Counting game?
performing: (the masked avenger)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hickery, pickery, pease, scon.

You count to the end of the rhyme and eliminate whoever's on the end.
tsunbender: (pic#3265658)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

. . . I think we decided on how to vote.
performing: (the masked avenger)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[nods]

We have too, I think. We'll see how right we are in the end.
