RULES

[soulping]

This game will be two rounds, and the first is just answering the questions! The second will be performing your job based on your answers. Both rounds will last one hour, and the winners will be the ones with the best performance in their job or the most amusing or sensible (to Nafuna) answers on their interview.

For the interview round, you are to answer all questions as a team. If your group is made up of members of multiple teams, then that counts as your single team for this game!

INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[swordedpast]

These are some weird questions.

[for some reason, he has a piece of bread in his hair.]

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[takewing]

Let's not answer those ones. ... Why do you have bread in your hair?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[swordedpast]

I have what in my hair?

[Reaching up and--]

Huh.

I have no idea.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[takewing]

[pfffft]

Was somebody throwing it at you?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[takewing]

. . . Some of these questions are in vary poor taste. I propose that we decline to answer those ones.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[swordedpast]

[Draws an angry face next to question #15. 😠]

I agree.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[takewing]

[giving #2 a dirty look, as well.]

Very well, then. Let's start by marking off the questions we're not answering.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[barrette]

Some of these questions are...

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[takewing]

Ridiculous.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[barrette]

Definitely. Number 15 is the worst.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[experiencepoints]

...

I think we found another idiot Echo.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[takewing]

Hooray.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[experiencepoints]

I vote we answer number two with 'filling out questionnaires'.

TURN-IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN-IN

[swordedpast]

TEAM NAME: Takshaka

1.) What would you say your skills, as a team are? Looking cool in capes and being kind to cute animals.
2.) How would you define suffering? Filling out questionnaires.
3.) How far are you willing to go to achieve victory? That depends. Do you prefer feet and inches, or meters and centimeters?
4.) Where do you see yourselves in five years? Surrounded by small cute creatures, possibly on the moon. But since there is no moon here, we have no idea.
5.) What are your team's weaknesses? We are too kind to small animuls.
6.) What accomplishment are you most proud of? The angry face we've drawn for you. It's a work of art, isn't it?
7.) Tell me about a time you made a mistake. We made a spelling error on question #5.
8.) If you saw another employee stealing from the company, what would you do? Make them share.
9.) Describe your team. Purple and caped.
10.) What motivates you? Cool capes.
11.) What makes you uncomfortable? Discomfort.
12.) Can you say: 'Peter Pepper Picked a Pickled Pepper' and cross-sell a washing machine at the same time? No, we'd be too upset thinking about how you're supposed to pickle other things than peppers.
13.) If I came to your house for dinner, what would you prepare for us? Something better than water and stale bread.
14.) Calculate the angle of two clock hands when time is 11:50. Clock hands do not have an "angle." They approach every situation objectively and without schemes for their own benefit. Because they are clock hands.
15.) Has a member of your team ever killed another living creature? Did they enjoy it? [angry face] 😠

[ if you have questions, Nafuna's just hanging around the room, too. ]

ROUND 2

[soulping]

[ Congratulations! You are the MINERS. You are responsible for mining coal, the lifeblood of our economy.

Your training scenario is simple -- your team has broken into a cavern that you can tell is absolutely lined with coal. However, the entrance is too small for any of you to get in. Do you use your picks to slowly and gruelingly expand the entrance, expend dynamite to blast an entrance, or leave it be? ]

Re: ROUND 2

[takewing]

. . . She already thinks she can force us to work for her without our consent. I'm not sure I'd like to encourage this behaviour by playing along.

Re: ROUND 2

[swordedpast]

Mmm. I've spoken to her before and I don't care for her viewpoints on these matters.

Re: ROUND 2

[takewing]

Likewise. That was a conversation I was happy to walk away from.

Quite like this game, incidentally.

Re: ROUND 2

[experiencepoints]

Is the Echo going to provide us with dynamite if we answer that? I can think of some good uses for it.

TURN-IN

Re: TURN-IN

[Takshaka leaves the mine and goes for a walk to try to find seeds and plants that can be grown in the dark, hoping to turn the cavern into an underground garden.]
