Sleeping Dragon has painstakingly arranged an array of stones in a field in the shape of a labyrinth. The whole of it is laid out before you, and none of the rocks is tall enough to even begin to hide the kin who built it and is standing now in the center.
"You are welcome to walk here and meet me in the center," he tells you, his voice smooth. "But as always, the journey is more important than the destination. We will talk along the way. I will have questions for you."
Mechanics for Intelligence Game
This game is a little different, in that it will reach out-of-character as well. Specifically, it will feature a combination of OOC challenges which give passwords to unlock IC prompts.
Every Monday and Friday, a new OOC challenge will go up. There are a variety, ranging from simple riddles, to random trivia, to fiendish ciphers. All told, there will be 8 of these challenges. Each challenge will have a matching IC prompt for your tribe to mull over and discuss. HOWEVER, each prompt is password-protected! The challenge key will provide the password when solved, so that you can go to the lock page and unlock the prompt.
Each completed challenge should be PMed to the Matope Puzzles account. Points will be awarded to each tribe/team based on speed:
3 points for the first team to complete the challenge.
2 points for all teams to complete the challenge within the next 24 hours.
1 point for all other teams who complete the challenge at any time after that.
After that, you can complete the prompts at your own pace, until the end of the event, PMing as completed. Bonus points may be awarded to particularly compelling responses.

Rules for Intelligence Game
OOC Challenges:
- * Your tribe earns points when the completed challenge form is PMed to the Matope Puzzles mule. We will go by the time stamp on the PM for scoring purposes, and you MUST include your tribe's name in the subject line or the content of the PM.
* Do not post completed challenge forms anywhere in forums!
* All teams should be 3- 5 players, you can only be in one team, and you can only have one team per tribe.
* Please don't give answers away for free! Hint, if you'd like, but keep it vague.
* We will try to keep up to date on checking PM's but please understand that 3- and 2-point notifications might not always be prompt. You will earn the points you deserve based on time stamp.
IC Prompts:
- * Please create a thread in this subforum for your tribe/team, and list the participants in the first post.
* Post all your IC responses in that thread - they are meant to be discussed among tribe members, so you are definitely encouraged to RP it out!
