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.))

Perhaps it is an appeal to only the few, rather than the many.

Probably 'cause it takes thinking.

Of a different sort, anyway. I've no mind for creativity, but this game I do think I may do much better at.
uneulogized: (angsty loner guy: take one.)

How are you doing so far?

I've yet to pursue information, but I suppose now is as good a time to start as any. You are a member of Heliodor, correct? Whom in your column would you vote for?
uneulogized: (well well. all right then.)

[personal profile] uneulogized 2012-10-21 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Sapphire or Jasper.

May I inquire as to why?
uneulogized: (gotta love them shoulder wounds.)

I've been talking to a knight on Sterling. He was trying to work a line of questioning to see how I'd react, but he was really bad at it. That kind of work wouldn't exist if it wasn't for that.

I see. Thank you for your information.
