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.))

[ silent for a moment, just looking at him when he realizes he's serious ]

... I'm really not used to being called nice.
wouldntkilladragon: (Examining something new)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[To be fair, my bar for 'nice' is extremely low.]

[Shrugs.] You've been helpful to me. And you and Ed were...some sort of comrades, if not friends.
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2216018)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Friends. We're good friends.

But he'll be the first to tell you I'm a jerk.
wouldntkilladragon: (Sup)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
When do friends not do that?

But good to know.

[Even if I know you traumatized my teammate, probably.]

[ HE'S EXPERIENCED WORSE TRAUMA, WHATEVER!! ]

Really though, it would have been easier if he'd been the one playing for Heliodor.
wouldntkilladragon: (Read up)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[TRUE ENOUGH, but I don't know that yet. Watching your friend go through that would be terrible.]

Why's that?
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2216411)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I know Ed much better than you and that other weird guy. So I'd be able to tell if he was lying.
wouldntkilladragon: (And I think your imagination is safer)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
True. Though none of us are very good.
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2216097)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like I have any way to know that.

But you seem an honest enough guy.
wouldntkilladragon: (Super smooth here)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
It's a pattern we've noticed, but fair enough.

I try. [No, I'm full of avoidance and omissions. Though I'm obvious, so...]
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2215955)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Trying is good enough, I'd say.
wouldntkilladragon: (Hold that pose....)

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

So, are you a fox? Never did directly ask.
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2287310)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Stealing my strategy now...?

I'm not.
wouldntkilladragon: (Read up)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Never hurts to ask point blank. People might react.

[Nods.]
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2216411)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ laughing at that ]

You're sharper than I thought.
wouldntkilladragon: (Well uh this is awkward)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
People do seem to think so.
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2216411)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say it's a good quality. If it's unexpected, you can use it to your advantage.
wouldntkilladragon: (....huh)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
People don't seem...that surprised? I think.

[He's usually more surprised.]
thankyouverymooch: (pic#2216097)

[personal profile] thankyouverymooch 2012-10-21 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, either way, good luck with the game, Ed's teammate.
wouldntkilladragon: (Sup)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.
