Speech Comm
At the front of the classrom she stands, looking well rested and as professional as ever...except that she's wearing a man's button down shirt and a tie...with a denim skirt.

leeadama and caroline_todd are the only students enrolled in this class. Today is devoted to a discussion of whether to continue with only 2 students, or if they can transfer into 201.
301
*When you enter there are two paper cups on your desk. They both have the same amount of a clear, odorless liquid. On the board is written: DO NOT DRINK FROM THE CUPS!!!*
I had this unit planned long before the events of the weekend, and I think it is particularly fitting that it's happening now. This weekend was an excellent bonding experience...you know, like paintball war games but with...*blinks*...moving on.
Ok, trust.
Trust effects the manner and efficiency of communication. But what does that mean? In the traditional sender/message/receiver paradigm, in order for the message to be conveyed clearly there is a level of trust that is required between the sender and receiver. This is why advertisers use *uses air quotes* doctors in ads for pain medication. This is why used car salesmen talk about cutting a deal. A level of trust makes..and this relates to last week...trust helps facilitate influence and persuasion.
Ok, so the trust game. In front of you are two cups. You may ask me 5 questions to decide which one to drink and which one to dump. If you trust me now, you will believe what I say, if you don't, you won't. Either way, Dr. House has been made aware of this game and is standing by.
Fire away.
((ooc:each player ask in a new thread please. It'll help keep the confusion to a minimum...like how the Tick's interviews went. You know.))

301: Rory
"Is one of the two cups unsafe to drink?" she asks, realizing that it hasn't been said that one cup is actually poisoned or anything.

Re: 301: Rory
"Is the liquid in one cup going to affect me in a way that could be perceived as negatively?"

What do you think?
Re: 301: Rory
Re: 301: Rory
Aha...good. Statements don't count, and yet still elicit a response.
Would I lie to you Rory?
Yes.
Re: 301: Rory
"How old are you, Professor?" she finally asks.
Re: 301: Rory
No.
Re: 301: Rory
"All right. Should I drink from the cup on the left, or the right?"
Re: 301: Rory
"Should I drink from the right cup?"
Re: 301: Rory
No.

Re: 301: Rory
Rory considers the two cups, and nods. "Okay. I'm going infer from the way you looked at the cups earlier that I shouldn't drink either cup, and I trust that."
