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.))

Hmph! It seems troublesome.

Really? I find it much more intriguing than any of the other games I've participated in thus far.

Then you did finally manage to attend one? Last I spoke to you, you had not.

Yes, I've taken part in a couple now, though they were both of the rather... frivolous sort of game, I thought.

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-20 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Was one of them by any chance related to rolling dice?

Interior decoration for one and color symbolism for the other.
debossy: (it's so great! it's fucking awesome!)

Ah, the flowers. I did not make that game, but I was told my team performed admirably.

It was a game that seemed to favor those with a flourishing sense of creativity and generosity.

Then it is lucky that Saya and Swift were those who attended it.

Are you the only representative of your team present?

[personal profile] bluevalse 2012-10-20 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It was myself and Haruki, but we're both more inclined toward the logical and factual path.
debossy: (That Shot)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
I meant currently.

[personal profile] bluevalse 2012-10-21 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
My apologies. It appears to be just myself, yes.

I am the only representative of Jasper as well. The turnout is low in general; that will change the atmosphere.

There are some advantages to having a low turnout; while it may be more difficult to catch someone slipping, it is easier to keep an eye on every team.
debossy: (a Japanese romance)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
That's so. Though I would presume it would be easier to slip if one was alone.

The pressure of performing admirably for your team can prove to be either a motivator or a reason for failure. It does vary.
debossy: (I'm so 3008)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
I was thinking more of the possibility of lone fools representing their teams and having no one to guide them.

[personal profile] bluevalse 2012-10-21 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
... I had hoped such a thing would not happen, but now that you have mentioned it...
debossy: (it's so great! it's fucking awesome!)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
If it does, I can only hope they are foxes.

If only we could be so fortunate.
