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.

At least we get a better clue this time...

This time?

The clues in the wolves and sheep game were kind of different.

I was not a part of that game. Then it wasn't based on arbitrary suspicions and spatial logic? That would be an improvement.

No, that one was only based on arbitrary suspicions. At least this time there's some kind of logic to it.

That logic will make it easier to trip up entirely. I must catch a fox in a blatant lie to succeed!

Some of the people here are pretty bad liars. It might be easier than you think.

What was the clue last time? Hard to imagine something less helpful.

Each round, we were given the names of three teams. One of them was guaranteed to be wolves, the other two sheep. All it did was make people suspect the wrong teams.
