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.))

[points to the grid, tracing the rows with his finger]

But if you figure out even one fox team, you can mark out all of the other teams on that same row and column that aren't foxes. That narrows the pool much more easily.

Ah, I guess that's true, isn't it...?

So, got any idea yet?

Not a single one, but the game's just getting started.

What about you? Is Carnelian a fox team?

We're not, and I don't have a clue either.

Is Coral...?

Nope. Unless you count my name, but that won't help you.

... Well, it is a reason as good as any to vote.

I'd be terrible if I voted on my own father, wouldn't I?

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'd disown you.

That would really break my heart, you know...

Then no hard feelings if I do end up voting you, okay?
blackjacked: (You say good-bye I say helloooo)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
It won't be a vote that helps you, but sure. It's just a game.
