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.))

That's pretty hasty of you, isn't it?
glorious: (smug)

The only reason to place a vote on Sapphire would be if you were a fox. If you're not, then a vote on Sapphire wouldn't offer you any points.

I figured that out. But you know I hadn't even accused you of anything yet. You took all the fun out of it.
glorious: (wary)

...Ah, I apologize. I thought that was what you had meant.
followtheblackrabbit: (Good servant. Obey master.)

If it's an accusation it's got to sound like one! Like "You there! I see your devious ways you craft fox!"
glorious: A field of white flowers in bloom (pride)

If you'd like, we can pretend I said nothing at all and you can declare it at me if I do anything suspicious.

Jumping to the defensive was pretty suspicious though.

Maybe I meant it that time.
glorious: (intrigue)

That definitely is the action of someone under duress...I can't deny that.
followtheblackrabbit: (Hello world hope you're listening)

We'll just have to see how it turns out for you.
glorious: Van with his eyes closed, looking amused (chuckle)

We'll see.
