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.))

That's exactly what I think. Though it's gonna be difficult with some of the no-shows.
blackjacked: (Peeeeering)

We'll have to rely on everyone here to figure them out.
uneulogized: (yeeeeep. that's a flying saucer.)

If people share. It might be more useful if there was a bigger arena to play in.
blackjacked: (-- oh you mean the shiny is over there?)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Why a bigger arena?
uneulogized: (THE GREAT JASON TODD.)

[personal profile] uneulogized 2012-10-21 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
One-on-ones. Easier to share perspectives.
blackjacked: (Yeah totally not safe)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds more like you're trying to make it a smaller arena.
uneulogized: (y'all come back now.)

Well, I prefer to duck away when I talk to someone. This way, everyone's gonna see what you're doing, who you're talking to, how you're acting.
blackjacked: ([kid] :O)

When you say it like that, calling it a bigger arena makes more sense. There isn't much privacy here, but I'm sure you could find someplace.
uneulogized: (they don't know what a clitoris is?)

[personal profile] uneulogized 2012-10-21 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. If I had someone to trust.
blackjacked: (Un deux trois...)

[personal profile] blackjacked 2012-10-21 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

This game isn't a matter of trust.
uneulogized: (wasn't expecting strawberries either.)

If I cross off everyone on a list except for one fox, that helps. Then I can share observations with the other guys on that list.
