TURQUOISE

[Entering your team-appropriate room, you'll find that it's rather sparsely decorated, all told. There are benches on the sides of the room, enough room for everyone to sit comfortably at least, and there's a small table in the center with another basket of flowers on it.

What's probably more interesting, however, is a chart on the far wall, which lists all of the teams, as well as the number 3 next to each of them.

The white rabbit from earlier comes in through a small hole in the back wall and looks at everyone.]

Hi! I'm Peter Cottontail. I wanted to meet everybunny and get to know you a little, so I thought we'd play a game. Okay?

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Each round, you will be paired with another team, and each team will have the following option: Give, or Take. You can't talk to the other team when making this decision. However, the chart on the wall will update after each round with pair-ups, decisions, and final point totals.

If both teams choose Give, both teams get 2 points.

If one team chooses Give and the other chooses Take, the Give team loses 2 points and the Take team gains 3 points.

If both teams choose Take, both teams' point totals remain unchanged.

Oh, and um, if you have negative points, you don't have any to Give, so you can only Take.

The game ends after five rounds, or once at least one team gets to 9 points, whichever comes first.

You are paired with Emerald!

Wouldn't it be best to just "take" the entire game...? There's no penalty for it..

But that's not very nice...

But taking has no penalty, and Emerald will realize this. They will probably take, too.

I know it isn't that nice, but it seems like a way to not lose points.

But then we don't get points either.

...

I think...

...

[math............]

But we also don't lose points.

Correct. It is better to add points or remain stable than it is to risk losing them.

Oh. Okay, if you say so.

[i am confused]

Mm.

[ nodding! ]

I don't want to go into negative points.

[just. glances at toki for a moment.]

Then we have decided to take.

[doo dee doo dee doo...(unsure)]

Okay. Should I tell the bunny?

[this time it is not just a quick glance]

Wave. There are no repercussions to taking. Nobody will get hurt and if anyone's feelings are hurt by this action they are mistaken.
