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.))

Well, at least I'm in good company ... as far as 'not having any idea how to play this game' goes.

Honestly, the most you can do, is try to figure out who is suspicious, and then vote.

It's a bit of a problem when I don't know how people act normally... I guess if anyone cracks from the pressure and starts screaming we'll know it's them, though.

"Oh, no, please don't pick me, because I am definitely not a wolf, so, ignore what I am saying, because I am obviously not suspicious at all."

I don't think, there will actually be that much pressure though.
knighttoremember: comfortably numb (this is not how I am)

Is it wolf? I thought it was foxes.

. . . Oh. Yeah. It is foxes this time.

It was wolf in the last one, that was kind of like this.
