ALECTRYON

[There is a desk in the room in Alectryon green. On it are several sheets of paper, a pencil, eraser and a book on Rain Forests. It seems the area you have been given in the game is a Rain Forest.

What kind of trap will you design?]

Are we only allowed to make one trap? Or can we make multiple to increase the chances of success?

Re: QUESTIONS

[personal profile] inthenude 2014-07-12 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hm... I'll allow up to five. I don't have enough energy for any more than that.

Probably best, so we can save face and keep people from targeting us further.

[ looks... honestly a bit surprised by that ]

There is that, but... uh, why would we be targeted?

Nobody cares whether we live or die. Makes us the easy target.

[ Shrugging it off. ]

I wouldn't put too much stock in that, because until they actually do anything it's all just talk. Everyone will claim not to hurt a fly, after all. There's just only so many who will live up to it.

I trust Swoop.

[ but she won't push the subject for now, instead tapping a finger against the book ]

He said we can have five traps?

Re: DISCUSSION

Up to five, yeah, which means we should use the full amount.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have one of the five as a somewhat-obvious trap, so that people feel lulled into a false sense of security once they go past it. Not too obvious, though, since that'll make it pretty obvious what our plan is.

Obvious, huh... Vines that turn into constricting snakes when touched, pit traps, net traps...

Nets and vines, huh...we could have one of those classic "step-in-the-circle-and-wind-up-upside-down" traps half-hidden, maybe...

Snakes aren't bad, either, but I'd be worried that they wouldn't seem to serve the purpose of knocking out teams. They might realize that there's another part to it.

Depending on the size of them, they could do a halfway decent job of hindering progress. Either way, it could startle people or make them nervous.

We would have to hope that everyone has severe ophidiophobia, preventing them from moving on. Seems risky at best.

Re: DISCUSSION

You're right.

A cage trap instead, then? A row of them could be set up to completely halt progress.

They'd need to be well-disguised, but that could work.

The canopy in rainforests seems to be thick, that could hide them well enough.

Hmm, and... instead of vines that turn to snakes, vines that tie people to the trees instead? It would keep them from continuing.

Are there any limits on the traps we can use?

Find anything?

They can't exceed your area. Outside of that you can do whatever you want.
