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.))

. . . No? Why a second opinion?
existentiallychallenged: (3 2 add. Means 5.)

There's something about that cat that just makes everything sound suspicious.
existentiallychallenged: (Are you trying to go to jail?)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
...Uh... yeah. A little?

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. What do you remember?

He lied to me around the time we first met, but it was mostly just annoying... I think he lives with someone else I know?

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Then I guess that explains why it's hard to trust him.
existentiallychallenged: (Well... it's just God.)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Have you had problems with him?
tsunbender: (pic#3266032)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
—No. I meant for you.

I like him.
existentiallychallenged: (The dog kicked the little girl.)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... Yeah.

He probably doesn't have anything to lie about if he has amnesia anyway!

Unless he's a fox.

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
. . . I think I would know if he was.
existentiallychallenged: (Potatoes don't eat steak.)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hence the second opinion!
tsunbender: (pic#3265658)

[personal profile] tsunbender 2012-10-21 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Right. I hope that helped.
existentiallychallenged: (life's too long for you to get it wrong)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
...I'll ask Wing, but I probably won't vote for you.

[a bit surprised despite everything]

Thanks.

It's mostly guessing anyway, and you seem kinda trustworthy...

[people trusting him is a big deal]

I know, but I still appreciate it.

[...thumbs up]

No problem, man.
