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.

Well, it adds up. Otherwise, there's a whole lot of blind guessing and trying to figure out who's who and then it just really isn't a whole lot of actual fun.
performing: (yes that makes perfect sense)

It's not really a game of tricks if you don't even know what you're faking about.
uneulogized: (vodka tonic? that's great.)

[personal profile] uneulogized 2012-10-21 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

So do you like tricks?
performing: (yes that makes perfect sense)

I like poker, but I don't think that counts much here.
uneulogized: (well well. all right then.)

Isn't a part of poker keeping a straight face, or are you really bad at it?
performing: (the masked avenger)

I'm really good at it, actually. But having said that, I'll warn you that voting on us will end up as a waste.
uneulogized: (y'all come back now.)

Good job following the leading questions, buddy.

That's a shared fact, by the way. We're both tailless.
performing: (could've been worse)

I'm new to this game, but I'm not stupid. More than the game, I'm curious about the persona running it.
uneulogized: (STEAMPUNK? okay no.)

Well, I'm gonna go with "cunning."

As long as she's not like the sort back home ...

What're they like there?
performing: (yes that makes perfect sense)

The sort of people who'd consort with my master ... I don't know how to explain it better.
performing: (conveniently dormant psychic powers)

I'm pretty sure some of them were ...

I dunno, you don't think she's different? There's a guy here talking about her being cute.
performing: (oh.  me?)

She is pretty, I guess ...
