The Mole (Pink PT) *Finale!!*

Mon Oct 11, 2004 10:44 pm

Welcome to the Mole (Pink PT). 16 players, working together to earn money for a group pot. But one of those players is a Mole. A double agent hired to frustrate the efforts of the other players and keep money from being added to the pot. Every three days the players will take a quiz with 10 questions about the Mole. Whoever gets the most questions wrong will have to leave the game. The object is simple- be observant, expose the Mole, claim the money. The winner is the one who answers the question- who is the Mole?


The Mole has officially started, please check each page to get a synopse of what has happened so far.

A full list of Mole players:
cap
T.M.W.A.C.H.N.
Ammer
bluehawaii19

Noelle
o_0

Experiment

Kugetsu

1lewysgal
Dag

A full list of Mole rules:
1. There will be no cheating in this game. If I say something is not allowed, and I find out someone broke that rule, I will fine the group pot based on the offence.

2. Coalitions ARE allowed. Feel free to share information with as many people as you want.

3. During challenges, if the group splits up into teams, you are NOT allowed to contact any other team unless I specifically say so.

4. You MUST post on PPT after every challenge and execution. This is probably one of the only ways to get good information about who is the Mole and who isn't.

5. You MUST be present during a challenge. Anyone not present will cost the group 1-5k. If there is any challenge you can not attend for whatever reason, simply PM me to let me know ahead of time and I will excuse you at no cost to the group.

Yep, that happens to me quite a bit too. Yahoo is majorly buggy. :x


Today's challenge was different than normal. 1lewysgal and o_0 were at the chat before I showed up, and cap arrived about 3 minutes after 5. I told the players that they would be competing against each other for this challenge. Each player was to take 10k and play a gambling game, and whoever had the most money after 30 minutes would be the winner. (And if two people lost all their money, the last person with money would be the winner) Since no one picked 1lewysgal as the person they thought was the Mole on the mini-quiz, she got to pick her game first. Each person could play one game, and one game only, and all three had to choose different games. lewys chose Brucey B Slots, cap chose Krawps, and o_0 chose Jubjub Blackjack.

The game started out pretty evenly. Both lewys and cap lost large amounts of money within the first 5 minutes, while o_0 slowly gained money. cap and lewys continued to gain and lose large amounts of money during the next ten minutes, but o_0 pulled into the lead as he made small, constant gains. About 15 minutes in, cap pulled ahead of o_0 as he collected a large high-odds bet. Shortly afterward, lewys became the first casualty as she went broke on the Slots. For the next 15 minutes cap and o_0 traded places multiple times, with cap making and losing large amounts of money, and o_0 continually making small amounts of money.

With about 2 minutes to go, cap hit it big. He got Krawk eyes, and promptly stopped playing. After time was up, both players tallied their money. o_0 ended up with about 24k, while cap ended up with just over 48k. Therefore, cap was the winner.

The players were then informed of the 'twist' in the game. The winner could either choose for me to put the same amount of money they won into the pot, or they could have an exemption. But since cap already had an exemption, I told him that he could either add the 48k to the pot, or he could give someone else an exemption. He chose to add the money to the pot, which brought it all the way up to 200k.

As you can see, the pot was increased substantially with this challenge. ;) I will have the next quiz up for all of you shortly, and I'll also have the time for the next challenge up in a day or two.

In the meantime, I need you all to fill out this mini-quiz again. You cannot choose yourself, but you can choose any of the other players. ;) And, there are no right or wrong answers. :)


1. Who is most likely to cheat?

2. Who would you like to see go next?

3. Who do you like the most?

4. If you couldn't win, who would you like to see win the money?

5. Who is most likely to give advice about neopets?

6. Who do you think is the Mole?

A reminder- everyone has to fill this out. That means I should get 5 mini-quizzes.

Well this was a fun round and not hard on the brain at all!

It was pure luck for most of us 1lews picked to do brucy B slots and lost her money quickly.

o_0 was the smart one and picked jubjub blackjack. That's probably the best chance game to play he doubled his stake and was given the np to begin with!

I picked the game that could give me the most np fast. Krawps is hard to play and really I'm not too good at it. I had a horrible run of luck on playing money on the bligeline often losing 1500 on the first roll of the dice.

I placed my hope in 300np chips and did my best losing and gaining massive amounts of np fast.

o_0 had the best strategy and gained his np slowly. I'll have to play that game more often! I think my high point was around 22,000 and then I lost most of it and time was running low so I got desperate I changed my strategy. My new strategy was putting only chips on the bilgeline and krawk low and hi. I made a stroke of mad luck getting krawk eyes while putting a stake of 1,500 on low. I won TONS of money on a stroke of dumb luck. Chances of me repeating that are not good hehehe

This reminds me of that one EP of The Mole where they played BlackJack or something along those lines. Any connections? Looks like you guys did great on this challenge.

Tue Oct 12, 2004 2:29 pm

Yes, actually, that was my inspiration. :P I got a lot of my ideas from the two Moles, which was a very good thing because I ended up with about 20 different games, and I don't think I could have made up THAT many original games myself. ;)

Tue Oct 12, 2004 4:22 pm

I couldn't make it. My parents had banned me from the computer.

Tue Oct 12, 2004 7:06 pm

No prob, Noelle. I'm sorry to hear about that, though. :( I hope you can make the next challenge. :)

Tue Oct 12, 2004 7:07 pm

0:) Hopefully, I can make it to the next challenge without getting executed. ;-;

Tue Oct 12, 2004 8:30 pm

That IS if you aren't the mole... >.> Hmm... exemption for cap... therefore there's a 1:3 (or 1:4 if Cap is the mole) chance for any of us to go. Hmm... odds aren't good, and I can't say I have any trails or good reasons to think anyone is the mole.

Therefore... randomness + bad odds = execution!!!

Remember that on your next quiz. :D

Crap... there goes me. Hopefully that quiz save me... if not... I still have that shovel...

Tue Oct 12, 2004 9:06 pm

If I'm still here, this may have some effect :p

I don't walk into the door from school until 3:00 Central (the exact time that the challenge starts. Since it may take me a while to get on, is there any way you can bump it up to about 4:30 (not central)? That way I'll get a head start to get ready before the challenge begins.

Tue Oct 12, 2004 9:13 pm

Sure, I can make it 4:30. :) If that's okay with everyone else.

Tue Oct 12, 2004 9:44 pm

Friday at 4 is good.

:P If I'm not executed.

Tue Oct 12, 2004 9:59 pm

I guess. I have a review thingy at noon nst. I may make it out in time. Or I'll be a little later

Tue Oct 12, 2004 10:53 pm

I can push it later, cap. Unless mark and kugetsu have stuff, I doubt they'd object to it being at 5PM EST, rather than 4:30. ;)

Tue Oct 12, 2004 11:07 pm

:) I can probably be there on Friday at 5. :P It's homecoming night, and I was on Homecoming Court, but I kinda demanded a recount and 0:) added a few *coughhundredcough* votes for another candidate. :) So I have no plans. :P

But I might be executed. :( :P If I am, I know who the Mole is. XD
