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 would depend on the game. I don't care much for playing seriously when the game itself is already a waste of time. Though memories are important, of course.

Could just be that you don't want to play 'cause you don't have to.

Technically, I don't really have to play any game unless my life is on the line, you know.
uneulogized: (aw! you wanna romance me.)

True, but you'd agree that foxes have it a lot easier, don't you?

Not really. It's much easier to act suspicious than to slide under the radar, especially if you're not used to it. And most people aren't used to it.

Not to mention that many of the teams listed have close relationships with other teams, so for people with a lot of connections, it'd be hard to avoid suspicious all together.

I would say only a fool would think it's easier.
uneulogized: (gotta love them shoulder wounds.)

I'm not a fool, though.

We'll have to see about that, Heliodor.
