week 4 - trial

week four trial



[At 9 AM precisely, the old grandfather clock chimes once again, and the doors to the drawing room are opened. They will remain open until everyone has come inside, after which they will shut behind them. It is not possible to leave on your own, although perhaps if you have a specific purpose the hostess will allow you to go, as long as you are accompanied by a partner.

The room is set up comfortably, with several tables by the fireplace set out to assist with the trial. The Hostess will also remain in a seat near the fireplace, next to the scales on the mantle. At lunch, the doors will open to bring in a large meal on an automatically rolling buffet, and at 3 PM, tea and finger sandwiches will be served. You'll be able to enjoy the trial in comfort, of course, but the information cards set out on tables will not allow you to forget your true purpose here.

At 7 PM, the trial will adjourn for the day. Players will be escorted by the Hostess to the ballroom, where dinner and wine will be served until 10 PM, at which point players will be required to return to their wings in groups with their wingmates and will be locked in their bedrooms until 8:30 AM the following morning.]

I was imagining an offer like a fifty-fifty split. One million Earth dollars can be halved fairly easily, can't it. Both parties assume the risk and reward but only one has to go through with the act.

Huh, I'd actually buy that - people can do some pretty crazy stuff for money.

Too bad that was last week's deadweight reward. Unless they carry through week after week, the million dollars should be taken off the board this week - the list said that the reward this time would be the whole changing a moment in your past bee-ess, and that doesn't really sound like something you can split fifty-fifty to me.

That carries over, but the gamewide incentive is for an item - who's to say you couldn't split a golden apple in half?

[humanic]

Good point. I guess we'll have to see what the items in the cabinets for our suspects are then. At least this incentive should be easier to prove than the past few weeks.
