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.))

Oh. Oh, there was a similar game but with murder. That explains a lot.
glorious: (silence)

[personal profile] glorious 2012-10-20 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[...nods, relaxing.]

That's why some people are especially...tense. I know you weren't there for it, but please be mindful of them as well.
grownabulge: (well then)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-20 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm following now. My bad.
glorious: (interest)

[personal profile] glorious 2012-10-21 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
...Thank you for being understanding of the situation.
grownabulge: (fuck sunlight)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-21 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be ticked off too if I'd been there.
glorious: (drug)

[nods]

I try not to complain about boredom in games. It usually doesn't take much to make them deadly, and the Personae are fond of stealing ideas from each other.
grownabulge: (sod that)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-21 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Not looking forward to a deadly game. Pretty sure I'd end up as a pile of dust.
glorious: (hrm?)

[personal profile] glorious 2012-10-21 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
...A pile of dust?
grownabulge: (fresh manloaf sandwich)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-21 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Vampire thing.
glorious: (drug)

[personal profile] glorious 2012-10-21 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...That would explain why it happened in that last game...
grownabulge: (graves are comfy!)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-21 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
... huh. Tiger's Eye?
glorious: (interest)

[personal profile] glorious 2012-10-21 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
...One of the knights actually. It didn't happen with Tiger's Eye's vampire for some reason.
grownabulge: (what's that?)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-21 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
... Mopey? I'll have to ask him how much it hurt.
glorious: (lack)

[personal profile] glorious 2012-10-21 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
...I would strongly suggest not doing so.
grownabulge: (sod that)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-21 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, he's used to it.
glorious: (interest)

[personal profile] glorious 2012-10-21 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
If you insist...I would prefer not to give him more reason to mope, if it can avoided.
grownabulge: (all the way up)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
But then he'd mope for no reason.
glorious: (drug)

[personal profile] glorious 2012-10-21 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
...And he'd be able to recover from that.
grownabulge: (sod that)

[personal profile] grownabulge 2012-10-21 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
He'd be able to recover anyway.
