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.))

So definitely not a fox?
debossy: (dude are you bangin' a website?)

If you are asking if I am a fox in this game, I am not, but what I am is disappointed in these misguided attempts to gather information! Do not simply ask people so bluntly! Do you and Carnelian truly hope to gather any useful information in that manner?

[huffs a little to himself] However . . .
debossy: (I like long walks on my private beach)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[irritated] I cannot help but admit that I have hardly gathered anything useful myself thus far.
wouldntkilladragon: (Well maybe if we....)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
It can be pretty hard.
debossy: (who needs the Elite Four)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
This is why I require my subordinates!
debossy: (I'm so 3008)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
To delegate the gathering of information to them, obviously.
wouldntkilladragon: (Well let me think....)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
More people would make it easier to gather it.
debossy: (all drinking and merry in a factory)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
As I said, yes. I am only one bird and can only speak to so many of you.
wouldntkilladragon: (And I think your imagination is safer)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
It does take a lot of energy.
debossy: ("Salut" my ass Yuuya)

[personal profile] debossy 2012-10-21 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Your teammate claims Sterling is suspicious. Do you agree?
wouldntkilladragon: (Welp!)

[personal profile] wouldntkilladragon 2012-10-21 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
He is pretty good at spotting things that are susupicious...
