Mystery Method - "So how do you all know each other?" | mysterymethod's Blog

"So how do you all know each other?"



The line "So how do you all know each other?" is a rather crucial one. (If the set is a boy/girl two-set, try asking "So how long have you guys been together?") Because this question is a piece that must occur in every set, it is said to be a waypoint in the game.

It's a harmless, reasonable, sociable question. It generates conversation and provides the venusian artist with oodles of useful information. For example, if the set consists of two girls, and you ask, "So how do you guys know each other?" It's possible that one of them will say, "Oh, she's my boyfriend's sister."



The important information isn't the existence of a boyfriend. If your game is tight, girls will cheat on their boyfriends at the drop of a hat. Rather, the important information is that she is probably not going to cheat on her boyfriend in front of his sister, who is standing right here.

"So how do you all know each other?" might also reveal that the group consists of coworkers,



or that the guy you thought was a threat was actually your target's brother. (Lucky you were doing Mystery Method and befriended him in the first place.)
