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.))

At least it's sort of easy to do even if winning is hard...
knighttoremember: you are only coming through in waves (There is no pain you are receding)

[personal profile] knighttoremember 2012-10-21 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
There's a one-in-four chance of getting it right, I guess, that's a plus.
existentiallychallenged: (LIVE THE DREAM)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
One-in-three, if they're in the same row or column as you!

I see Turquoise is right next to Emerald. How... suspicious.
knighttoremember: (But it was only fantasy)

[personal profile] knighttoremember 2012-10-21 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Is that suspicious?
existentiallychallenged: (boobonic plague)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
...Not any more than Sapphire or Iolite really.
knighttoremember: Remember how she said that (Does anybody here remember)

[personal profile] knighttoremember 2012-10-21 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I don't even see any Iolites around, do you?
knighttoremember: comfortably numb (this is not how I am)

[personal profile] knighttoremember 2012-10-21 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's kind of hard to tell if they're more or less suspicious if they all stayed home.
existentiallychallenged: (The dog kicked the little girl.)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
...If I have to choose between people who are here and people who are gone, I'd rather choose someone who's gone... At least I can't offend them??
knighttoremember: but you may feel a little sick (OK - just a little pinprick)

[personal profile] knighttoremember 2012-10-21 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
That's kind of what I was thinking of doing, really. Then it's not saying to someone 'you seemed really shifty'... or anything.
existentiallychallenged: (the hesitated leader)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I won't tell them if you don't.
knighttoremember: Vera! Vera! (we would meet again)

[personal profile] knighttoremember 2012-10-21 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
My lips are sealed.
existentiallychallenged: (boobonic plague)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Now I just need to... pick three more teams to vote for.
knighttoremember: but I got nowhere to fly to (I've got wild staring eyes)

[personal profile] knighttoremember 2012-10-21 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it narrows things down pretty fast if tehy can't be in the same row and column, right?
existentiallychallenged: (Potatoes don't eat steak.)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... Well, a little. With every person you choose, then it gets easier...
knighttoremember: comfortably numb (this is not how I am)

[personal profile] knighttoremember 2012-10-21 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
But I guess if the first one you pick is wrong, that messes a lot up.
existentiallychallenged: (clams office)

[personal profile] existentiallychallenged 2012-10-21 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah.

[oh shit]

Well--you could guess people from the same row or column... You would just know for sure you wouldn't get them all right?
