3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA: WILD CITY

[idolpro]

[ The room you wake up in is barren. The floor, walls, and ceiling are all metal, and the only furnishings are a large television-sized touchscreen monitor and a massive pane of glass cutting through the room, separating Whiskers from the rest of the unit. You can beat against the glass as much as you like, but it won't break. Both the touchscreen monitor and the elevator doors are on the same side of the room as everyone but the hostage.

Once Mukuro finishes his intro spiel, the monitor display switches to a catalogue of pictures of flowers, each with their name, associated meaning, and a checkbox underneath them: ]

Amaryllis (Red&White) - Talkative
Baby's Breath - Purity of Heart
Calla Lily (White) - Maidenly Desire
Camellia (Red) - Perish with grace
Camellia (White) - Waiting
Cherry Blossom - Transience of all things
Foxglove - Insincerity
Hydrangea (Blue) - Heartlessness
Iris - Faithfulness
Lantana - Change of Heart
Marigold - Despair
Morning Glory - Willful promise
Mountain Laurel (Red) - Ambition
Oleander - Caution
Poppy (Red) - Fun-loving
Poppy (White) - Rejoice
Poppy (Yellow) - Success
Tulip (Red) - Fame/Charity/Trust
Yarrow (White) - Conflict

Great. Just peachy.

[zugzwange]

I mean, in the end, it's too obscure for it to matter, right?

[shutthefoxup]

Well, in the last game everyone chose to trust each other, so this should go the same way, right? They'll probably play the same? There was only one team not there for the last game.

[zugzwange]

Rather, sending flowers doesn't even matter because they can't be deciphered. Especially since we don't know who the other teams may be then any relations we may or may not have are also meaningless.

[shutthefoxup]

And they'll vote cautiously because they won't want to hurt anyone they care about and can't be sure who we are or not.

[zugzwange]

. . . that's very optimistic, but I suppose find the best flowers and we can send them over as a sign of good will.

You do know that if we think everyone will play nice then playing mean is better, right?

[shutthefoxup]

Happy, friendly, fuzzy flowers only; whether they describe us or not.

Better in what way? If we all play "nice" everybody wins for now, right?

[zugzwange]

Well, it's not me on the line.

[shutthefoxup]

I guess we should ask him how he wants us to play....but I really do think everyone will trust and if we betray that trust we'll have a LOT of enemies in future games.

[zugzwange]

We were already one of the more popular picks in that other game, but we escaped just fine there.

[shutthefoxup]

We'll be even more "popular" if we play betray. You don't really care one way or the other though, right?
