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.))

[really really tense because there are so many bad feelings with this style of game '-']

[heroinhisowntime]

Tavros? Are you okay?

[pchaaair]

I just, er, don't like this kind of game.

[heroinhisowntime]

It does seem a little random.

[glorious]

[giving you awkward looks...]

[pchaaair]

[...awk...ward...

kind of just... slides away from.]

[glorious]

[...that seems like my queue to not bother Ruby during this game.]

[hovering nearby '-'a]

[pchaaair]

['-'a hi apple

he's loosening up a little now.]

Uh... hi, Apple.

[appleofhiseye]

Hi, Tavros. How are you?

[crusthatecean]

[Oh same.]

Fuck this.

[pchaaair]

At least it's Kitsune. And, not Jabberwock, or Jacobi.

[not that that actually helps a lot]

[crusthatecean]

Do we trust him?

[mythlology]

Hey. No creepy scenery, and she said it was just a game.

[pchaaair]

That doesn't change the fact, that the last game happened. And to Jabberwock, that was just a game, too.

[mythlology]

[ nudge ]

Zuko says she's nice.

[knighttoremember]

... Are you all right?

[pchaaair]

For a definition of it, yeah, I guess. Don't worry.

[knighttoremember]

... If you're sure.

[dormancy]

I wouldn't worry. She seems rather tame, doesn't she?

[pchaaair]

[... eyes suspiciously]

She is.

[dormancy]

[making an open hands gesture]

So, nothing should go wrong . . .

[wouldntkilladragon]

You okay?

[pchaaair]

Er-- yeah, I am fine.

It was just kind of a reaction, because, the last game we had like this, was a bad one.

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Nods.] So that was why. But I think Kitsune means what she says, that it's just a game.
