Hello, gentlemen! ♥

Oh?

Think about it. We're probably the only pair that would really care about getting broken up.

[doctorquincy.livejournal.com]

. . . That's true.

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

Anyway, it's not for no apparent reason. It's so we can win.

[doctorquincy.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

Heh.

*stretches out on the couch*

So let's talk strategy.

[. . . sits at the desk]

All right.

*we could trade?*

The clue's still not out, but unless we want to go deliberately looking for a wolf team it might not make much difference. There might be a couple of advantages to trying that though. Finding some wolves would give us a potential ally (and it'd be too early in the game for them to backstab us efficiently), it would keep the sheep from realizing that there's somebody who can pick them off, and we might be able to solve the issue with that split team before it becomes a problem.

But we could also just start gunning for the weakest teams and worry about the rest as it comes. If we manage to break up a team, they won't get a chance to find out who did it and we'll still be pretty safe under the radar.

[doctorquincy.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't they find out who we are, though? Or it would be too late by that point.

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

The only learn who we are if they stick together. Which is why if there's a team we think are wolves but we're wrong and they're strong, we're in trouble.

Well, after going through the post earlier, Kyon-san told the Shepherd he didn't trust Kira-san and he might as well take their name off. Also, Kira-san told Azula-san that if he gets eaten tonight, Suzumiya-san is a wolf. . . . Something to do with jealousy. Of course, all of it could just be talk, but.

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

No, they'd definitely be easiest to push out. We could probably manipulate anybody who had issues with the "exercise," we'd just have to ask the right questions. But I think we could ask those two anything and they'd break up.

Like, "how does it feel to be put in a collar against your will?"

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

Was that deliberate, Shepherd-san?

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

Well, I did assign roles after watching the pre-game, didn't I~?

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

That's true. And what did you see?

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

I wonder. :)

As a reminder, I would like you two to have your questions prepared and your team selected promptly by 1:15AM—I will tell you which team has been ousted and which has been eaten before the questioning begins. The questioning posts will, unfortunately, not be open to you at this present time—I may open them one round later, perhaps~

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

No, I wonder.

1:15- okay. Not saying we'd do this, but what happens if the team we pick is the team that winds up going out?

And I'd like to see them eventually...

The ousting ends at 1AM, so I'll let you know who's out of the game for the evening before I start with our . . . appointments. ♥ If you had intended to choose somebody who ended up having been eaten, or the like, I do hope you'll have a backup in mind so there's no last-minute scrambling, hmm?

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

Backup. Can do.

*texting? texting*

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

Shepherd-san, are our three questions all these people get asked? Or is it our three questions and then the big one: do you trust your partner?

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

The latter. ♥

[u-jerk.livejournal.com]

Hmm, that's harder. And do we ask them individually, or together. I mean, can we aim our questions at one member of the team specifically?

[cfuw-shepherd.livejournal.com]

Yes.

And you may choose individually-directed questions.
