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.

((Reply directly to this post for discussion!

ETA: Absent teams MAY be foxes, or may not be.))

Well, you... kinda have to know who's a terrible liar, though...

And thanks.
wouldntkilladragon: (Sup)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-20 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Not if they're just that bad.

Welcome.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I can't.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-20 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... Well, that might not even work either... Tiger's Eye is in our group, and I haven't seen anyone from the team yet...
wouldntkilladragon: (Sketching time)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-20 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be a problem...
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry starshine. The moon says hello)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It makes it more difficult, at least.
wouldntkilladragon: (Well maybe if we....)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
So it takes figuring out if the other team besides yours isn't a fox. Unless you are the fox, then you know.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry for the wistful gaze.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
And only one per row or column.
wouldntkilladragon: (Read up)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Nods.] Just figuring out one for sure can help a lot.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry you embarrassed yourself.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
So... who do you guys think would be the foxes on our columns?
wouldntkilladragon: (....huh)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
...not sure yet. I know who it's not, but who it is, is still hard.
squirreledaway: (Huh? I'm sorry.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, who do you think it isn't?
wouldntkilladragon: (Deh da da we're dead)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I know it's not Heliodor.

Unless foxes aren't being told they're foxes, in which case this really is just talk and guess.
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry I can't.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
So, you think it might be Carnelian, Tiger's Eye, or Peridot?
wouldntkilladragon: (So there was this noodle...)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
That would be what process of elimination says.
wouldntkilladragon: (Examining something new)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
So what about Peridot?
squirreledaway: (I'm sorry this is awkward.)

[personal profile] squirreledaway 2012-10-21 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know just yet. I think Jasper kind of seems suspicious? But it could just be the personality of the.. bird...
wouldntkilladragon: (Welp!)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
He is kind of...spirited.
