AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[ you're ushered into a tiny break room, which is SURPRISINGLY WELL LIT! There's some chairs, a single table, fountain pens and inkwells, and a box of (stale) donuts. ]

TEAM NAME (if made up of multiple teams, choose a new one):

1.) What would you say your skills, as a team are?

2.) How would you define suffering?

3.) How far are you willing to go to achieve victory?

4.) Where do you see yourselves in five years?

5.) What are your team's weaknesses?

6.) What accomplishment are you most proud of?

7.) Tell me about a time you made a mistake.

8.) If you saw another employee stealing from the company, what would you do?

9.) Describe your team.

10.) What motivates you?

11.) What makes you uncomfortable?

12.) Can you say: 'Peter Pepper Picked a Pickled Pepper' and cross-sell a washing machine at the same time?

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!

[soulping]

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[goodbyenurse]

...This is a job interview. The key is to give her the answers she wants.

I know this echo. [:)]

[menially]

[Glances at her questioningly, because that's... actually really insanely helpful. 8|a]

What kind of job goes and asks for tongue twisters...

[goodbyenurse]

The odd kind... [Calculating...]

On a properly made clock, it would be a third of 90 degrees, or 30 degrees.

[menially]

[He's glancing tiredly down the list, a brow raising as his eyes pass #12.]

Team survey, huh...

[goodbyenurse]

7 Is 'We do not have mistakes, we have learning opportunities.'

[unguilded]

Would that count as an answer? She might still want an example of what we see as a 'learning opportunity'.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[unguilded]

For the first question, we can scatter a bunch of our skills and include ones that we all share together. Like, I remember how to fight a little bit, and I know a lot about flying. I'm getting better at chess, so I don't think I'm bad at coming up with a strategy or a path to take if we need to plan something. I'm also not bad at making friends!

Oh, and I think I'm good at taking photographs, too.

With whatever else we answer with this, we can add that we're all brave, and willing to step up to help the team out when we can to lead them through a hard game, or even a game where we just want to win because it's important to us. So, "brave with leadership qualities and the ability to work together no matter what the content of a game is."

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[unguilded]

And let's see...

Suffering is hard to define because it has its own definition, already. But it's ... being hurt. Feeling hurt. Feeling like you have no way out of something you don't want to be in.

For victory ... we want to do all we can in our power to achieve something we want. But I know I don't want to lose who I am along the way, or do anything along the way that I'll really regret when I look back at it.

In five years at least I see myself out of this place. As a team ... maybe we can say "out of here because we won enough to regain our memories and help the people we want to help, and back home to continue doing so"?

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[goodbyenurse]

Bear in mind this is an interview.

In five years I see myself using the skills I have acquired from my work experience to advance my own position in the work force and properly lead others towards doing the same.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[unguilded]

That should be a good answer!

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[unguilded]

And for 10, The people we care about, right. Not only in Kyriakos, but the ones we remember who are relying on us to help them.

Re: INTERVIEW DISCUSSION!

[unguilded]

And for accomplishments... Rotten's game, maybe? Even though we weren't there, the others were really proud of what happened.

TURN-IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN-IN

[unguilded]

1. We're brave with leadership qualities and the ability to work together no matter what the content of a game is. We have cooperation and a realistic approach to things while not overlooking compassion and consideration. Where ome of us fall behind the others are there to pick up the slack so we cover and support each other.

2. Being hurt. Feeling hurt. Feeling like you have no way out of something you don't want to be in. As a result, not being able to contribute to society.

3. We want to do all we can in our power to achieve something we want. But we don't want to lose who we are along the way, or do anything along the way that we'll really regret when we look back at it.

4. In five years we see ourselves using the skills we have acquired from our work experience to advance our own position in the work force and properly lead others towards doing the same.

5. Sometimes the actions of thinking and feeling butt heads when making decisions and coming to a consensus. We still manage to do so in the end, but sometimes it takes a little more of a struggle than necessary.

6. Those of us who were in Rotten's game were proud of working together, not just within themselves, but with others in similar positions to them, to ensure that everybody was safe.

7. We don't have mistakes, we have learning opportunities. Figuring out #14 is an example of this.

8. We'd confront them about it and give them a second chance before reporting them. But we'd keep an eye on them to make sure that they don't betray that second chance.

9. A mix of different characteristics and personalities that blend into an effectual working force.

10. The people we care about. Not only in Kyriakos, but the ones we remember who are relying on us to help them.

11. Dying. Having to hold the fate of someone else's life in our hands. Unnecessary emotional conflict.

12. Yes.

13. Dinner, of course. Featuring all of our favorite dishes.

14. 55 degrees.

15. Belt had. She ... found it moderately enjoyable.

[malthusian]

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

Re: talk to fairy maybe

[goodbyenurse]

Will we be inflicting harm upon other teams in this game?

Re: talk to fairy maybe

[malthusian]

Indirectly, yes. Your performance during training will affect other teams.

Re: talk to fairy maybe

[goodbyenurse]

However, we shall not be directly responsible for hurting them.

ROUND 2

[soulping]

[ Congratulations! You are the CLERKS. You are responsible for record-keeping and budgeting.

Your training scenario is simple -- your current budget is currently too low to afford much in the way of safety equipment and routine maintenance for anything other than the most expensive and hardest to replace equipment. Employees below you are also not receiving livable wages, which is leading to a decrease in the quality of their work. The ENFORCERS are also lacking in proper enforcement equipment. You must decide whether to raise the budget or not, and how much it should cover. ]

[menially]

[Our life is now math.]

Not many options here. Rearrange the budget we have and then see what needs extra funding, maybe?

[goodbyenurse]

How high over out current budget is our actual profit?

We may be able to invest in order to increase performance, and thus profitability.

TURN-IN

[soulping]

Re: TURN-IN

[menially]

The budget will be raised for safety/maintenance and proper enforcer equipment, as well as a small fund for emergency purposes. They want safe workers and good machines, not injured workers and broken equipment.
