. . . You can't cook, can you?

Re: ❧ instructions

[andallthekingsmen]

Why would I be able to cook?

[grumblegrumble]

It can't be that hard...

Re: ❧ instructions

[sharksong]

Sorry, I must have missed your "I'm not a cook" sign.

It doesn't look hard when Shinji does it, but I've never tried myself . . .

Re: ❧ instructions

[andallthekingsmen]

I'm a lord, I had people to cook for me.

[ and i think beetles are delicious ]

It can't be too difficult.

Re: ❧ instructions

[sharksong]

Mm. Maybe the meals she wants us to cook won't be hard.

Re: ❧ instructions

[andallthekingsmen]

You just warm it up, and...

[okay even I know this sounds stupid...]

❧ scoring criteria

[dramatispersonae]

1. All team members participating, if not equally, then in some capacity approximating that.
2. Adherence to the requirements in each round. Obviously, taste is a factor.
3. Creativity, originality, and presentation! Do not bore me.
4. Reflection of team spirit or personality.
5. Evidence of new knowledge learned or skills acquired.

Re: ❧ instructions

[sacrifices]

Don't forget creativity.

Re: ❧ scoring criteria

[andallthekingsmen]

Ah! That's better. We can win by working together.

Re: ❧ instructions

[sharksong]

. . . We'll think of something when we see what we have.

Re: ❧ instructions

[sacrifices]

And take it out of the inexhaustible Sterling cupboards.

We might not be much help.

Re: ❧ instructions

[andallthekingsmen]

Let's just focus on the teamwork part.

Re: ❧ instructions

[sacrifices]

Of course.

Re: ❧ instructions

[sacrifices]

"Team spirit and personality" will be difficult with only one team member.

Re: ❧ instructions

[andallthekingsmen]

This is the second time I've been in a game where she was the only one playing. Turquoise's spirit is probably 'lazy'.

Re: ❧ scoring criteria

[sharksong]

Yes . . . but how are we supposed to reflect Turquoise's personality in this? I'm pretty sure it's just "annoyed".

Re: ❧ instructions

[sacrifices]

An empty plate is always an option.

Re: ❧ scoring criteria

[andallthekingsmen]

Lazy and annoyed?

Re: ❧ scoring criteria

[sacrifices]

Tell us more about your team.

Re: ❧ instructions

[andallthekingsmen]

Hah. I don't know if she likes smart asses that much.

Re: ❧ scoring criteria

[sharksong]

Sky and Torrent are always cranky or annoyed about something, and Clue and Storm can be that way too a lot of the time . . . Shinji's usually moping, and Rise . . . Rise is actually pretty normal. An average kind of person.

What about humor?
