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!

[onebullet]

[ After reading down the questions. ]

... what the hell sort of interview is this?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[untamedwing]

The kind an echo does.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

[ Rolls her eyes. ]

Well, if this is all there is to this 'game', I shouldn't complain.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[andallbite]

[staring at the questions, too]

Beats me. Is there a point to this?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

Probably not. At least we don't have to kill anyone.

So, tell me. Can you say... [ consults questions ] Peter pepper picked a pickled pepper and cross-sell me a washing machine?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[carptricks]

. . .

Do we have to answer honestly?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[onebullet]

I hope not. I don't like the idea of telling this Echo our team's weaknesses.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[untamedwing]

[I am working with another team.]

[Jiiiii.]

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[andallbite]

[but hey, look who's here!]

... So, what do you think of these questions?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[untamedwing]

I don't understand the point to most of them, but if that is what they want. [Shrugs.]

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[carptricks]

Yo!

ROUND 2

[soulping]

[ Congratulations! You are the ADVERTISERS . You are responsible for getting the name of the company and its products out there!

Your training scenario is simple -- there's a product that no one is buying -- it's a car-mounted flamethrower that exists for the purpose of decreasing violent traffic crime...but people aren't entirely good with the idea of shooting fire from the underbelly of their vehicle. Come up with a slogan, jingle, or other form of advertisement that assuages their fears! ]

Re: ROUND 2

[untamedwing]

[You know, I'm violent by nature, but even I wonder at the effectiveness of this tactic.]

[Whatever.]

The first step is for it to look appealing. If people are to have this on their car, it must look attractive.

Re: ROUND 2

[carptricks]

Paint it neon green. That way it sticks out in a crowded traffic jam.

Re: ROUND 2

[andallbite]

So how do you make a—"car" look appealing?

[obviously has no idea what the heck that is]

Re: ROUND 2

[andallbite]

...

[I have absolutely no idea what any of that means]

Re: ROUND 2

[carptricks]

You look a little lost.

TURN-IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN-IN

[untamedwing]

Item Name: Destruct-O-Crime
Jingle: "Tired of car violence all of the time?
Just plow right through it with Destruct-o-Crime ♥"
Appearance: The flamethrower will be sleek, compact, and the color to match the color. However, there is some customization options to have the general frame flow well with the type of car. Low to the ground cars are thinner, vans are bulkier, etc.
Advertising Campaign: Jingle, showing off how attractive the product is, and statistics on those hurt in car crimes versus those hurt by the Destruct-O-Crime. Numbers are totally skewed may be slightly tweaked in favor of the Destruct-O-Crime.
