week 3 ( monday );

[reidentify]

[Meeting in the longhouse is a go! Lief clears his throat, as a part of him wonders how he keeps ending up in this situation, but:]

Thank you all for gathering here. These past few weeks have been difficult, but I pray that none of us fall into despair. Now, more than ever, we need to keep our spirits up and put an end to this twisted game.

Vriska and Kirigiri have asked that we take advantage of our time now to discuss our next course of action, without an immediate deadline constraining us, driving us to ill temper. As we have struggled with how we should approach the trial, perhaps we should focus on the roles—the ones with the purpose to kill.

In particular, what sort of people would the Chiefs place in such a role? Not necessarily who would kill, normally, but who would be the Chiefs' "ideal" candidates. That is what we wish to figure out.

... Of course, we may not come to a complete agreement. But perhaps we will walk away from this with a better idea of how to go on from here, if nothing else.

[ooc: basically, a mingle post to discuss stuff! top-level and hijack away, etc.]

I wouldn't trust anything those two said. [But he doesn't trust anybody anyway...] We'd all probably only get answers out of them if we kill someone.

That's what the game is about, right? Why wouldn't they give us answers for murder? They'd think it was a fair trade.

[zerotohiro]

Depending on how the murder was done. Since this is about entertainment for them, they probably have some kind of standard we don't even know about. But I don't know. They seem to be more willing to answer questions in the trials if we're on the right track. There has to be another way besides just murdering people.

What else would be entertaining in a game about trust?

[boxedcrook]

How should I know? I don't make up games like this!

Watching us run around like headless chickens would be entertaining enough! One of them seems to get a kick out of it anyway. He said the "theme" for one of the weeks was "bonds."

The hell does that mean?

[zerotohiro]

I'm pretty sure he meant the whole game was about bonds and not just a week. If anything, it just means the theme is supposed to be what we model ourselves after. So...we're supposed to bond? It'd make sense with the partners thing.

Also I don't think we have to run games like this to start thinking like them. Think we know enough to guess by now.
