[The interior of your team cabin is far warmer than the winter outside. Each cabin is outfitted with enough beds for all present, and a table laden with food. Thick, juicy meats. Fatty broths. Congealed blood sausages. The sort of food that gets you through a harsh winter. The sort of food that makes you fat and tasty.

There is something here only for the wolf cabins, a trap door leading to a hidden basement where you can talk in absolute secrecy with the other wolf team.]

- You’re a wolf! You have a hidden post to talk to the other wolf team HERE. The goal of the wolves is to get all the sheep killed while not being suspected.

- You have your very own team voting account (Journal name:

teamepona / Password: T3@mep0na) that you need to use for voting! This is so any member of the team can change the team’s vote. Just like the sheep, you get to place one vote.

- You can use this private team post to talk with your team for the entire time you’re alive.

- The first post is a “day” post that will go up in the main community. This post is a mingle for all currently alive teams to talk to each other, discuss, accuse, strategize, etc. In public.

- It also has a “Which team is the most suspicious?” poll. Each team gets to place one vote in this poll. The two teams with the most votes by 6pm will be facing off in the dusk execution post, and one of them will die.

- Use your special team account to vote. Who your team voted on is hidden to everyone else, so feel free to lie about your actions.

- Voting will be frozen at 6pm sharp. Failure to vote may lead to votes being randomly placed by the Yaksinis, and voting ties will be solved with coinflips.

You may notice these posts are put up with my ‘March’ journal. Don’t pay attention to that, I just needed the paid polls feature.

- Then a “dusk post” happens in the main community with another poll. This poll has only two teams: The two teams that were voted most suspicious in the day post.

- In this poll, teams will be choosing who lives and who dies. The team with the most votes will be executed by the Yaksinis. Like the “day” poll, you have to use your custom team account to vote.

- Voting is public! Everyone will be able to see which team you voted on, and vice versa.

- But if you’re one of the teams up for execution, you can’t vote. Your job is to convince people not to kill you.

- If your team is executed, you won’t be able to participate further in the game, and you’ll be sent to an afterlife post to hang out with the other dead teams until the game is over!

When “Night” happens, there won’t be a public post. Instead, you’ll find a comment on your SHARED WOLF POST titled ‘Night’.

You have until 11pm EST to decide with the other wolf team (or alone, if the other wolf team isn’t available) which sheep will be killed. Once you’ve told Yaksinis your choice, she will execute them in private, and they will be immediately taken out of play. If a sheep team isn’t selected, Yaksinis will choose randomly.

Need something OOCly clarified, player to player? Go ahead and ask here, I'll get to you ASAP!

[If you require the Yaksinis, in all her terrible glory, just shout. But be careful... She's very hungry.]

[this. this is going to go badly. he takes one look at the food and then ignores it, crossing to a corner to think instead.]

[. . . ah.

s. sort of. swaying a bit, color draining from his face]

[turns to look at him, but doesn't say anything. not just yet.]

[bii-bii-biii—the flame you are looking at is currently unavailable. please wait for him to remember how to breathe.]

[... he moves, walking over to Flame and taking him by the shoulders to steer him over to a bed, maneuvering him down to sit.]

I'll handle this. Calm down.

[I GUESS I'M SITTING. . . . DOWN. . . .]

M-Mister Blade. . . [what are we going to do we have to kill four other teams here or we're going to die we need to kill half the teams here or we're going to die and probably another team is going to die]

If you don't want to have to make these choices, you can leave it to me.

. . . I—I—. . .

We're going to do the best we can in the circumstances. All right?

[. . . . nods]

M. . . mmm.

[puts his hand on Flame's head briefly, before removing it.]

But we may ask for your opinion on some things, as well. In order to make the best decision possible.

[he's saying 'we', but he's not kidding himself. no one's going to be on board with this, or be able to come to a decision completely rationally.]

[nods again, th. though looking conflicted, and he opens his mouth to speak—but any sort of attempt at words fails and he just. . .gapes for a moment.]

. . . I—[bbbbreathe] . . . . o, okay.

[but what decisions are the best decisions we are going to die and if not us we are going to kill four teams]

Hey!

W-What the heck kind of game is this!?

Edited 2014-02-21 14:52 (UTC)

I don't know...

... ... Yes?

[yes, which is why he's deciding to take the entire load on himself]

Good. Take some deep breaths.

Don't call it a game.
