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 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.

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-20 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

Is that so? Is that all you will say? Come out with it, if it will benefit me!

[personal profile] itsalluseless 2012-10-20 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not a fox, if that's what you're asking
debossy: (it's so great! it's fucking awesome!)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-20 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! Of course I wasn't. I'm no fool. Would you expect a fox to simply tell you they were a fox?

I was asking who among those gathered is a poor liar, so that I may engage them in conversation!

[personal profile] itsalluseless 2012-10-20 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...last time, Sapphire were wolves and ended up revealing themselves to everybody. It wasn't really because they were bad at lying, though...
debossy: (these cakes don't have lava in them!)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-20 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Then it was a deliberate ploy?

They sacrificed themselves in the hopes that it would make the game end faster. It worked, but both they and Ruby got killed.

--I see. Then it was that sort of game. Of course such circumstances won't apply here . . .

Is that all you have, then?

Turquoise is full of bad liars, from what I can tell. You could go interrogate them.

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
We'll see how much your advice is worth!

Good luck.
