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.))

An unfortunate wrench in our strategy.

It seems like we'll have to think of something else.

Really, there's not much to go on right now.

At this point, no ...

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-20 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll just get it out of the way and say Carnelian isn't one of them.

Not as far as I know at least.
performing: (yes that makes perfect sense)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-20 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I assume we'd be told if we were, and Sapphire hasn't been.

It doesn't look like asking is giving many results either.
performing: (could've been worse)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I don't imagine most people would go for "hey, tell me whether you are or not."

It's worth a shot if you ask me.

[deadpan] Hello, I'm Red from Sapphire, and I'm not a fox.

I'll believe your sincere words.

[ laughing and then clearing his throat ]

I, Ling Yao, 12th son of the Emperor of Xing and member of Carnelian, give you my word I'm not a fox either.

Sounds dramatic enough?
performing: (yes that makes perfect sense)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should pose, too. If you're the son of an Emperor for real.

Hey now, it's not nice to doubt a prince like that. Of course I really am.
performing: (the masked avenger)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
In that case, maybe a dramatic pose would help.

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really sure about what kind of dramatic pose I should make, though...
performing: (yes that makes perfect sense)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
...

Maybe you should get a cape.
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2303031)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think that'd help at all.
performing: (I'M going over HERE)

[personal profile] performing 2012-10-21 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
But then all you'd need is a good breeze to look dramatic.
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2303104)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, when you put it that way...

I'll let you know if I quest for it.

I'll await the day, your highness.
