So its like Clue? What was the point of the first round of questions?

Edit: I think this game is too confusing/too much work/completely underspecified... am I allowed to resign?

The first quiz is basically for what people's hunches are, nothing more, nothing less.

If you really want to resign then you may do so but It'll be much more fun if you don't.

Hope you carry on playing.

I think you should extend the deadline a little bit, especially if people are confused.

stigant, it IS hard to tell who the mole is at this point. It's like that in the real TV show, too. Getting booted this early would be mostly bad luck. I'd recommend you keep playing - as the game goes on, you'll get more and more ideas about who might be the Mole.

Also, since there has been little in the way of "game" so far, I'd also recommend some social engineering. Nobody said this game has to stay within the confines of challenges and quizzes given by the host. Since everyone already knows this, I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that I PM'd everyone else asking if they were the Mole. Now, I'm not saying that I suddenly know who it is, but those responses (or lack thereof) are little tidbits of information that might come in handy at some point.

And stigant, if it's not clear how this works - we're not voting anyone off by guessing that they're the mole. The person who gets the least amount of correct answers on each quiz is eliminated from the game. So it's in your best interest to get as many questions right as possible.

I'd also ask to have more than one challenge before doing the quiz, just like on the TV show.

For the record, the scores of the quizzes should never be mentioned, because eventually, especially in the later rounds, the mole can be determined by logical deduction.

Notice I didn't add the mole to the list and their info will never be given out, well done on PMing everyone. Good tactic.

I just wanted to get down to 10 people fairly quickly.

For those who haven't answered the quiz you have until Local Time:03-03-2005 at 06:00 PM

Le Force, It's probably better for me to do this early in the game than later, so I'm gonna let you know that I'm pulling out. It's just that, like I said in the Survivor thread, I'm going to be gone for a good part of March, and I won't be able to play without slowing you guys down, which I don't want to do. Thanks for letting me play in the first place though, this is sure to be a fun game.

Thanks,

Round 2

Just to let you know guys, the next challenge is upon us, you have until Local Time:03-14-2005 at 05:00 PM to design the hardest hold you can, please PM me with your entries. Every hold submitted wins £500 but only if I can't solve it. Please make them interesting as I will be offering the team £500 for every hold that is interesting to me. I hate hack and slash but love a good puzzle. Go for it!

I need some more details:

1) You give 500 if you cannot solve it. Right?
2) You give another 500 if you find it interesting (very subjective). Right?
3) Can I submit more than one hold?
4) Can I submit a hold made by someone else?

1) Yes
2) Yes (this is so you are discouraged from just submitting hack and slash)
3) No
4) No

Please also submit victory demos for all levels. The holds must be possible.

I still don't get all this "mole" idea. I mean, ok, we got individual challenges, how does the mole come into all that? How can he spoil things for the team if everyone is sitting in their cubicles designing holds or whatnot?

PS: By "PM me with your entries" you don't really mean sending you the raw data via PM, right?

Maybe it would be good to give anybody his own founds and remove the "Mole". Then the game would be great and competetive and not such complex.

Soz, post them on here then and the mole will be able to screw the next challenges up.

To be honest, I find this challenge very insulting.
Do you imply that my last official hold wasn't hard or interesting enough?

You know what? If you finish my last official hold "City of Queens" (and prove it), I will give you +2 rank points.

For more details please read the City of Queens thread.

This is also my submission.

-- Tim

PS. I do want to make a new hold, but making a good one takes time, and I only release a hold when it's finished. That means, definitely not this week.

Round 2 Redone

Chinese Whispers

I will PM the top person in this list:

egg egg
Maurog
gamer_extreme_101
Hix
Wackhead_uk
Schik
Tim
TripleM
MeckMeck GRE

with a message, each of you must then PM the message to the next person in the list. MeckMeck GRE, you must post the message that you get on the forum. If it's the same as the original message then you win £10000.

The catch, this must all be done before Local Time:03-11-2005 at 05:00 PM

Good Luck

Guys,

The game is about finding out who is the mole so I encourage you to help each other in working out who is the mole by discussing it on this thread.
