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.))

I see. Does this really count as a mystery, though?

In my book, it does. There aren't guesses involved once you talk to enough people.

Hypothetically. It depends on how good people are at hiding, and without much at stake, they might be very good at it.

I guess... it's not like they're lying about anything big.

Right, unless someone's really desperate for a memory.

You think that would make them more nervous or something?
uneulogized: (gotta love them shoulder wounds.)

Trickier, probably.

They'll be playing smarter.

How do you play this game smarter?

... Heh, you just do, don't worry about it.

Hey, come on, I have to figure this out too! Give me a hint!

Some guys are gonna lead other guys, and be really bad at it. The smart ones will only do that to get a reaction.

And the ones who have something to play for, who have to keep it underwraps? They'll be careful about leading at all. They have to be neutral.

Is that why you're pushing at Ruby, then? To get a reaction?
