[ Ranger hums thoughtfully. He wonders if the idea wasn't one that she'd had before. For a joke that was made on the spot, it was fairly well thought out. He doesn't object to it either way. She's not wrong, though - there was only so much one could do with a singular activity, especially one that would take time and effort to prepare. He takes in her ideas and slight reactions as he rocks back on his heels, adding little notes and additional ideals in his head. He's nodding in agreement by time she gets to people need to be ridiculously stupid about other things, too, though, murder seemed to be the only entertainment venue around here as it was. They might as well add something to cure the sheer boredom brought on by that.
Ah, her style of communication really is refreshing. Direct and to the point. That's just the way he likes it, being a person who looked to resolve issues as swiftly as painlessly as possible. He hated idiots who meandered, or who couldn't easily pick up on new concepts. When she finishes, he gives another approving nod. They were all good ideas. It was the perfect skeleton of an idea, although he would need a little while longer to ponder the concept of stakes. It had been death in the Majority Game, but in that case it had served the distinct purpose of weeding out any participants who were unworthy of reaching the next stage of the game - it was a pruning tactic. There was no need for such a thing in this case, and at any rate it would only serve to complicate matters. There would be far too many complaints.
He rocks a little more, processing everything, before he finally offers his own thoughts: ]
Ahahaha! You're right, people around here do need other things to be ridiculously stupid about. That's not a bad plan. We could probably wrangle something together for other activities. We did attractions back home... You know, really spruced up, interactive versions of the kinds you see at arcades and theme parks. I dunno about all of them, but I think there's a few that could be converted into something that could be useful here pretty easily.
[ Though having to remake all the parts from scratch would be its own kind of hassle. Still, in for a penny, in for a pound, and so long as the correct parts were present he could wrangle something together. If he took out some of the flashier (and more fatal) bits, it'd make it nice and easy. Ranger runs through ideas on which ones might be good, what modifications would need to be made, how much is feasible without being too overt... ]
Not talking about it, not killing each other... Hmmm, I'm not big on cheaters either, ahahaha! Those are probably the only three that're really needed, everything else is just gonna depend and get made up on the spot. I can't say I care if anybody's got a problem with it, but y'know, as long as it's kept low key you shouldn't get too many complaints.
[ He's realistic about that, at least. Things never went quite as intended, and situations were always messy, especially with such limited data on how things would proceed. It was easier to let things go and to pass judgment as needed. Aside from that, word about what was happening would eventually get around (rumors spread fast, no matter how many rules you set,) but that would be something to deal with at such a time as it became a problem.
Still, he's glad that she's approving of the set up thus far. It was a project that he could sink into, and something that Ranger had desperately needed up until this point, and all the better if he could find a person who was willing to coordinate the specifics with him. As a final note, he adds: ]
Are there any classrooms that aren't used often 'round here?
