Oh and before I go....
Private Confessional #7
Mole, I think your alias identity is 'Blaise'. I have said on my mainblog that I plan to go all out on my main suspect this round, but Ihavent made up my mind yet. I really want to take the risk, so manythings point to it being 07, but...would I stick my game life on it?Maybe.
If the mole is Brian or Jill, well done, I still think theres anoutside chance it could be you two, but, my suspicions still lie onBlaise.
If the mole is Elise, I dont care.
Anyways, Blaise, if you did just take ten dollars away, then you arejust, I dunno, I cannot think of a word to describe it. I think yousaw the only opportunity you had to lower the pot and took it withboth arms. Maybe you paniced that we had finally figured out a way todo well, who knows.Maybe you just want glory in having a low pot.Well, let me tell you mister, I managed to get OMC5's pot down to13/50, only one person picked me as the mole in the end, and that wasthe hosts fault not my own. So....yeah, I want to stay in this game,to win 26 dollars, no make that 27. If I can do that I'd be happy.
I am starting to revert back to my old ways, I used to think the molewas pathetic, then I gave them credit, and now I think its stupidagain. Theres no praise for doing what you did. Even if the mole isBrian or Elise, who did nothing for the challenge, I still rate themoles performance as pathetic the entire game, due to hiding behindthe teams stupidity rather then making bold moves and taking chancesas I did.
STUPID PAUL MOMENT #Yeah that last post was embarrassingly wrong, but ah wells: Forgetting that becoming 'fixated' on one idea and refusing to look around and see whats actually being going on, is really really dumb. I was so hooked on the idea that it was Blaise I didnt just look back, not even a glance.
Private Confessional #6
She is a bad player (assuming she is a bad player, if shes the mole,then shes even worse, I'll get onto that later) because she isallowing me to really mess with her thoughts and I find it hillarioushow she honestly thinks that she is right in her beliefs. I may not bepopular with the group myself, but man is she disliked :P
If Elise is the mole, shes bad because she is giving herself moreattention then she would like, its not a good double bluff, because myreasoning for why I feel she is not the mole has nothing to do withher outbursts....so if she believes that she is doing a good job by making a fuss and that she has used it to turn me off her scent, then she is so mistaken its funny.
Anyways, I will have to go out on a limb, and say the mole isnt her.Similarily Breaux is gone from suspicion.That means that my top three consist of Jill, Brian and Blaise.
Now then, just because they are the top three does not mean I suspectthem equally, in fact my suspicions lie 60% Blaise, 30% Brian and 10%Jill. Jill has always been up there, I cannot pin anything on herreally, and so if she is the mole shes doing a brilliant job.Brian....he has put some money in the pot, but he has also taken itaway, if he is a player and isnt trying to look like the mole then hejust happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Blaise, if you are the mole and you are reading this, I want to tellyou youve been on my (game) mind quite some time. You never reallyseemed to be doing much but recently if I really look at it, youveprevented a lot of money from going in. Similarily I do wonder how youknew about my obsession with looking for clues when really in my maintalking to other players I dont say that much about clues or even mythoughts on what others are doing, so either you are a really goodguesser or you gave yourself away!! I feel that in the box game youopened it not to add money to the pot but to prevent anymore fromgoing in there, similarily your words were obscure and had words thatwere very similar that any normal person selecting words would nothave done. I seriously wonder what happened and if you are the mole itmakes perfect sense.
Anyways in my brief talk to the mole as an entity I would like to say;"I think as of recently youve been doing a great job, the teamwork ofthe group has really improved and yet you found a way to splinter us,you have respect from me, a former mole myself :P"
(Host please remove the above if it turns out the mole has no idea whoI am or my past)
STUPID MOLE MOMENT #I've lost count: Disregarding Elise based purely on my quiz scores. For those unaware Elises 'anger' and 'bitcheness' didnt make me think she wasn't the mole, I had made up my mind she wasnt the mole long before that. The reason I choose her to take my 'anger' out on (which was ALSO fake by the way as shown above) was because she was the one person I thought wasnt the mole, so I could shake her up and try to make her screw up on the quiz. Opps.
Private Confessional #5
My top three suspects now consists of two new entrants. It is withshame that I must announce Jills drop down to 4th and no longer a topthree-er. The top three in no real particular order are now Blaise,Brian and Ginger. Both the two B's performed very shiftly in the Mafiachallenge and so when I look back...I wonder just how much of thechallenge the team actually won.
Let us assume that Blaise is the mole, and let us go to the final fiveround of voting. Blaise couldnt vote for me even though Elise did orit would look so moley, similarily because he left it so late hecouldnt really keep up with his plan to remove Breaux, all in all hehad no choice but to follow through and kill a mafia. Then again atthe final three, he wanted Breaux gone, but Brian made the error ofvoting for Blaise. Now, Blaise couldnt possibly vote for Breaux orregardless of anything the challenge is lost, so he had to vote forBrian. He looked like the man of the match but if he is the mole, hewas trapped with no way out and had to look the hero.
Let us assume that Brian is the mole. He approached me early onknowing full well that he could choose the two mafia. He told me thatwe should form a temporary truce and only vote for each other if wewere absolutely sure and some other meaningless words. I agreed but ared signal went up. Only to be further exascerbated with therevelation that the other mole was Elise and that the investigator wasBreaux. If he could pick a fellow mafia someone to steal the limelightoff him would be her and no-one would think they could work together.He probably had either a complex plan to keep her in or one thatinvolves her dying so he could move forward and ensure two dollars goaway. Regardless, I think his actions were quite suspicious and so Iwant to at least look at him, looking at previous challenge resultsmay suggest he is a player but who knows.
I also want to point out I am terrible with these clues, assuming youare giving them out. The only thing that I might have seen is that thelogo, the main OMC6 one looks a bit different, even though the pictureis called the same I swear Ive never seen those two lines coming outof the S in sabotage that look like a clock at 10 (dun dun dunnnn) Imnot sure, Im not even going to consider it anything and just assumethere arent any clues, but if there are, man are they sneaky.
STUPID MOLE MOMENTS #5 through 10567498: The Mafia Challenge. Screwed me right up that one did.
Private Confessional #4
Mitch, its just he does mole act after mole act and its getting to the point where I don't know what to think. If he isn't the mole and he wants people to think he is (he is doing a very good job I must say) does he not realise that by screwing up every challenge he only ends up getting 0 dollars himself? Am I missing something or is it really as stupid as that?? Who knows. Mitch has kept a lot of money out of the pot, especially with the live challenge despite what people think about him being the hero. More on that challenge later.
Jill, I cannot see her doing anything wrong, its just, urgh I dunno, I guess shes still too nice, eventually I know I'm going to drop her from my list but for another round at least, I'll put her down. Good job if you are the mole Jill because I know youre doing stuff but I cannot see what. Grrrr.
Ginger, again, I dont really see how she could be the mole other then everything. Let me explain that statement. If you look at it from one angle, she could absolutely be the mole and doing a great job of it, however on the other hand viewed in a different light and theres no way it could be her, it doesnt and wouldnt make sense. So heres my dilemma, just because she is capable of being the mole, is she? Maybe. I'm not suuuuure.
I really, really really dont know how I am here in this game still other then my maths skills when it comes to quizzes. Eventually though I bet everyone else will figure out who the mole is and I will be gone, but untill then I will carry on trying my best. I have no idea if I will stay or go, if anyone thinks I am the mole....in fact I am more clueless then Player15. (Yay my first Player15 joke in weeks :P)
Back onto the challenges and such, here is an observation of mine, all the money Brian has famously put into the pot, really, has been obvious answers. Someone else has given the answer somewhere and they are about to type it in themselves when all of a sudden he answers it and looks the hero. This has happened thrice now on memory so....who knows....just a random fact for the mole to fling about if they want to fling (and of course meaning they aren't Brian themselves)
Ok, small talk with the mole now....
Hi!!! How are you???Its been like ages since weve talked and Ive got soooooo much to tell you's!!Wanna like...start screwing up challenges instead of letting others doing it and claiming you were a puppet master behind it?? Becoz....I bet that'll be what youre thinking...am I right???? :P:P:P:P
Ok, now I'm done talking to the childish/teenagish mole that has got some major confidence issues (:P) its time to say this, I really dont know who the mole is, but, I dont really tend to find out any time soon, Ive gone an entire game without finding out who the mole is, so I am not totally panicing yet. Cyall if I'm gone.
STUPID PAUL MOMENT #4: I rule out Brian this round, and yet he some how pops up again later on...Why? I never look back at my old confessionals or anything, I didnt make notes or anything similar, I really should have in retrospect.
Private Confessional #3
Mitch has been screwing these challenges up, and I hope he gets thepenalty for missing that challenge. He didnt participate at the giventime so deserves a -1. However a lot of people has been looking hisway as of this round, and, I am not liking it one bit. If he is themole, then they will be getting extra points for no reason. I reallyhope Mitch is not the mole, because if he is, he doesnt deserve to be,and if he is essentially caught, then...I will be sad. I do honestlyhope I'm wrong.
Like Mitch, I hope I am wrong with Ginger too. However she has beencausing a lot of slip ups and doing things which causes others toscrew up with no-one looking at her. If it is her, she is doing a semidecent job, but heres the thing, I just don't get this vibe thatanything is wrong. It just doesnt make sense and I dont feel like Ive'caught the mole' so....urgh.
With Jill, the only reason I am naming her is not due to any mistakesshe has made but instead I just feel something is off about her. Ihavent really been paying attention to anything she has done so forall I know....she could have been losing us loads.
Now, as I said earlier, I just don't feel as if I am on the righttrack, something feels off. I dont know what it is, but somethingtells me the mole is someone like Blaise or even Breaux. I am justdisregarding the three B's (those and Brian) and its dumb to do it Iknow.
I would like to remain optimistic about this execution, but, I am notentirely sure....this round has really made me rethink things, if Ireally think about it, the mole probably isnt one of mysuspects....would the host really pick one of those three? Really?I...just dont know....
My strategy though remains the same, work out the best way todistribute answers on the quiz whilst maximising scores on my maintargets (Decision Mathematics is a reasonably strong area of mine).However in game time and challenges, make it look as if I am doingnothing, whilst putting money in the pot....
As for my one-to-one talk with the mole, unfortunately my thoughtsremain the same. Even if you were a normal player I feel like wewouldnt have had that much extra in the pot. Not saying you areredundant, but...I wont be too surprised when its finally revealed whoyou are....unless you are Beth, in which case I will be genuinelyshocked.
If I'm gone, I'm gone.....none the wiser as to the identity of themole, but Ive certainly had fun, so...I will be giving this quiz myall....wish me luck :D
STUPID PAUL MOMENT #3: Knowing my suspects arent the mole and keeping them the same, yes, I'm smart.
Private Confessional #2
*NOW HOST, THIS IS THE BIT WHERE YOU BECOME THE EDITOR, I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE MOLE KNOWS WHO I ACTUALY AM OR IF THEY KNOW MY PAST, OR IF THEY EVEN READ THIS AT ALL, I TRUST IN YOUR EDITORIAL SKILLS, GOODLUCK*
I've been a mole, firsthand, straight up, I know what to do, and my manipulation skills are very good. I socialise and therefore can get away with anything. I'm not sure if its your strategy but....you are not making the most of this game, half the players aren't talkative? Use that. Half the players don't perform a challenge properly? Use that. I have not heard a single person fling mud around yet, and either its very unfortunate casting or this is youre golden opportunity, fling like theres no tomorrow. FLING BOY!!!(or girl)!!!!
BUT
Saying that, I still don't know who you are, and if things go the way they are, I don't think I ever will. Goodluck (honestly) should I be eliminated, and at least you say you got me. I want to reaffirm though that making people think its me is very easy, I know how to make people think its me while adding money in there. A fair few people have crossed me off their lists and that is perfect, but I assure you that should I make it further, I will be back on there at the top, and not to be removed :P So yeah, thats incentive enough for you to want me to stay :P
STUPID PAUL MOMENT #2: Even considering that Mitch might be the mole.
Private Confessional #1
Suspects:N/A - but if you forced me to name people; Brian, Kyle, Jill, Mitch, Elise with the last two doing significant damage in the last challenge from what I can see.
STUPID PAUL MOMENT #1: I noted that Elise did damage in that round, and yet thought nothing of it. Ever.

Post Twenty :P
-No, I did not send Elise any porn site links at all. As Jill put it, I am not that immature, if anything I hope thats a lie Elise conjured up as her role as the mole to try and do...something, I dont know, but regardless if she was sent links, it was not from me.
-I didnt care at all about the money in this game, the persona/alias I played did have a stick up his arse, and although yes that is slightly like me (because I like to win) I really didnt mind when Blaise and Jill drained the pot, or when Elise, Blaise and Mitch lost a dollar.
-The strategy I had at the beginning was to lose money and be suspicious, but the thing is I didnt think anyone had caught on (little did I know both Blaise and Jill took a second glance at me, urgh) and by the round which has the mafia game in it, I changed my strategy to win win win. If I had known people were looking at me, I would have screwed up more.
-Money Money was me being a retard, I didnt do that on purpose.

Public Confessional 7
Before getting on to the depressing stuff, lets first talk about the challenges....oh no wait, sorry....
Anyways....
The first challenge was just terrible. I knew a challenge was coming up like this, in fact I predicted it on this very blog, but still knowing it will happen, and actually seeing it happen is something completly different. Paying ten dollars, and in Blaises case, twenty to get an exemption, wow, only for a truely hard core backstabber. Our pot is looking very pathetic, and its not funny.
Whichever players make it through this execution, even if it is Elise and not me (which obviously in my opinion is the worst outcome :P) I will whole heartedly congratulate. Obviously if Im gone I cannot do it straight away but I will at the reunion. Well done for making it to the f4, without needing to drain ten dollars out of the pot (obviously Blaise will not recieve the same type of congratulations but ah wells :P)
The second challenge was just terrible. I knew a challenge was coming up like this, but I wont reveal how I knew :P That can wait. But I knew, I didnt know exactly but I guessed to within a very accurate degree. That being said, yes I could have performed much better in my part, ideally I would have liked to have been the animator or the actor, but, unfortunately I just was not able to do it, from the a practical or technological point of view. Some peoples excuses though about the email thing is a load of rubbish and lies that can seen through....why? You could have used a site to upload any type of file you require and then provided the link for us on the forum, alternatively you could have sent things through PM etc. There are other things that you could have done, and dont say you couldnt have thought of them, hosting sites are very popular....
So then people, especially say Brian, I want to give you hope, and a lot of it. My odds of being eliminated this round, form my point of view are 3/4 not 1/4. I plan to go all out on one player this round, if I'm right, yay. If I'm wrong, I wish you guys all the best, you obviously deserve to be in the game more then I do.

Reaction to Execution #6
Only joking of course but grrrr yet another person that I knew wasn't the mole is gone and I am left with an open book of suspects. Actually, I tell a lie, on the quiz I put a very large number of questions on one person and I am still here. Unless Breaux got it completly completly wrong, then....I think I might be onto someone. I know a few of you are probably already on the right track, but, let me have my moment here :P
Breaux you added money into the pot, you were a great team player, you helped keep morale up, all in all, you were (at least in my opinion) one of the most important cogs in our (albeit poor) money making machine and the mole is laughing right about now. Well played, I applaud you :D
So yeah, this quiz does tell me a bit, either everyone is on the wrong track, or I lucked out, or I am onto the mole...one in three chance I guess :P.

Six people, one of whom is a mole. One of whom knew both of these challenges, and their answers and how to sabotage the games. We won, as a team, quite a bit of money, true my contribution towards the very end of the second one needs apologising for, I feel my performance and that of the entire teams was one of the best the entire game.
I'm not some power struggling guy, I will willingly follow the directions of any player that wants to take charge. I am glad that Brian just sorted us out there and then and we had a plan going into the Bingo challenge. I feel that is why we won those two dollars.
As for the box challenge I found it interesting. We all speculated and such, lets admit it, we all thought there was an exemption in play, and it seemed small in having 25 cents or an exemption. When it was opened and we tripled our money....its like....yay :D
Lastly we have the luck challenge. The challenge that nobody could possibly know how to win on and Travis seems to think is fair to say is worth a fifth of our entire challenge prize money. Luck is luck is luck, and it was nasty that we had to see twenty dollars go down the pee hole. Elise, tell me what the hell you were thinking? I am going to look at it from a third persons point of view. Someone came up with a way to make almost two dollars guarenteed, but, you didnt like that person. You decided to spite them and do the babyish thing and follow along blaming them for your imminent mistake. Not only that you had an alternative. You didnt have to bet. If you didnt want to follow along with someone elses idea, thats fine, they didnt ask you to, it was just a suggestion, however you had another option, not bet anything and get almost a dollar.
Now after that, I feel like it is almost ugly and hypocritic in what I want to apologise for. I want to explain my double money issue. Yes I forgot you couldn't use money as a clue. Someone incorrectly answered paperwork to that and I decided to move onto the next clue. This time it was paperwork and I couldnt think of a clue, so instead I thought by repeating the last clue someone would tweak on and say paperwork again. It just so happens I forgot that you cannot say money and that lead to me looking both mole like and a complete retard. We could have made seven if it wasn't for that, and thats a dollar down to which I apologise.

Reaction to Execution #5
Your elimination actually changes a lot, I now feel I am down to only two real suspects, despite being at five last round. I feel like I am moving in the right direction but I wont be too confident because Ive been wrong about the mole thus far :P
I cannot wait to see who you are, I have actually a fair few guesses to your identity, but, I know you will prove me wrong and be a basket of surprises. Good luck in all you do :)
I now wish to take this opportunity to apologise to the group. This week starting from earlier today is the biggest week that has occurred in my real life thus far. It is with regret that I must become less active then I would otherwise like to be. I will try my best to be at the challenges and stuff but I cannot guarentee it. This will hurt me more then the team so I know you guys wont feel too down about it. The host was aware that this eventuality would occur should I make it this far into the game. I guess he wished I was executed :P

Never did I think, that I would witness the fabled fourth outcome, good teamwork and good performance. Somehow even through the mess that was Spies Like Us, we came through. Yes our votes was eratic and yes people were shouting ideas left right and centre but heres the thing, it never seemed out of place, for a mafia game it was quite timid and thankfully everyone listened, I mean even Elise and I somehow got along. This is not a quib at the two mafia, this is a shout out to the team, I actually think we did well.
Although it wasn't the best outcome for the two mafia, it was great for everyone else, money in the pot and no exemptions in play. (We even got MB's :))
Now, I have no idea the outcome of the Story Time challenge but I think we have done quite well, from talking to my fellow writers I think we conveyed our message accurately :) Time will tell but I dont see a reason why we cannot earn big this challenge too.
It is time people. Time to air some very dirty laundry. I will adress two people and they should by now know who they are. Bliase and Elise (Ive only just realised they share four letters in their name! dun dun dun). Ok.
Blaise, you played a blinder in that challenge, I might have said a few ideas but you were the one that got this rolling and did the work. I congratulate you very highly for the mafia game. I did message you after that saying I owe you an apology but it may not be for what you think. To me, if you had just stuck money in the pot, I dont think I would have forgiven you, what did it for me was the way which you presented yourself and your commitment to helping the team advance. There was no reason to not join up with Elise and kick me out the very first round, no reason to not kick me out the second, in fact you were the one to approach me and made the mini alliance for that challenge that we did. You also got this team to focus and provided a way to move on and so...I owe you an apology. Everyone is allowed a period of selfiness, in fact who am I to tell anyone how to play the game. You understand my point of view about the four dollars versus three thing but I also understand and respect yours, you fought back in your blog but you did so without rash badmouthing.
It is with very strained reluctance that I must move onto my good old friend Elise. Elise, I dont think you have spoken to me enough to realise I am quite blunt. I am quite opiniated and I certainly have no problems with airing them. You and I now differ in our opinions, I believe that I say those things to try and get the group to find its faults and move on, you believe Im a complete a**hole. I also could not know if you are telling the truth about whether everyone else in the game dislikes me and thinks that I screw the pot up etc etc, whatever, I dont mind, if the other players think that I'd hope they would come up to me and say that. What I would like from you is to understand that my last blog was not intended the way you took it. I look back and see it was slightly (and whether you choose to believe this) and unintentionally nasty, however I feel you took it way out of proportion and got very defensive about your actions and the way my tone sounded. To me to start questioning everything about a post aside its main content is a bit 'grasping at straws' but I am saying this not because I want an argument but because I want the opposite. If you are going around trying to get other people to say bad things about me, it will only cause disharmony in the group and lets face it, thats bad. I apologise for the way that you took the posts meaning I did not mean to insult you in the slightest, but I do not apologise for the post, no matter how much you defend yourself Elise the move you made was not the correct one for the pot. If you want to throw this back at me (and I must admit I did laugh a little at your last blog entry :P) do so. I plan not on continuing this. Regarding a snide remark you made though, I do not have the impression that I am some deity of this game and I determine what is right and what is wrong. I also dont believe myself to be the definitive on how to play the game, if I choose however to have my blog posts with a negative tone is it your place to question?

WOOOOOT!
Ok, gloating, smugness and gladness finished with. I wont lie, not that I do but (:P) man am I glad Mitch is gone, he has been up and down on my suspect list and I never quite knew if he was a really pathetic player or an incredibly ingenius mole. I will admit he did kind of have me running around wondering if it was him or not, but now, its over and he is not the mole.
He screwed up challenge after challenge despite people thinking he was the hero of some of them...errr...no. He was intelligent but somehow he just felt it best to do something adverse to the pot and I for one am glad with it being over with. Now with one less mole pretender running around the rest of us trying to add money to the pot can do so in peace.
Mitch, you were smart. You were funny. People liked you and I did too, but the second you and I turn into game mode I think you just played it worse. Not only that but you practically self-executed yourself. To save yourself from a -2 you had to narrow your suspects down quite a bit I imagine and I guess a mistake did you in.
I cannot wait for the finale to see who you are and find out what your strategy was and even who you thought the mole was. Goodluck in all you do (with sincerity this time :) )

Public Confessional 4
Where to start? I seriously cannot make up my mind! Lets do it in chronological order shall we?
The live challenge was more mean then anything else. The host putting the highest figure second, I should have seen it coming to be perfectly honest, I do blame myself for not hitting stop. I wouldnt have been able to justify myself if I had, because no doubt the host wouldn't have given the rest of the list away, so screwed either way really. I was tempted to do it twice more times at 2.50 and at 0.75 but, I didnt feel it was my place to hit stop if everyone had thought there'd be a huge number on the way.
The second part of the live challenge was very comical. We had two apprent masters of the English language completly screw up the second word, and yes, I am blaming them. Defend themselves all they like the RSTNLE tactic is not as great as everyone thinks because DUH of course the host would think around that. The host was very generous to let us have another go, and get the extra dollar, that was in my opinion the highlight of the challenge, but not the night.
I am still bitter about the quadi or whatever thing, but Ive since been informed that something to do with translations and plurals or whatever actually renders quadis or whatever redundant in the language etc etc, basically yeah I admit it, it wasn't real :P
Then four of us had a little chat which was a highlight I must admit.
Ok, so then it was onto the long term challenge, which, was obvious in what it will be. Friend or foe was the most obvious challenge and that is exactly why I dreaded being partnered with Elise. Now, up to this point, I have had no qualms (THAT IS A WORD :P) with her yet I knew before the host finished explaining the rules that she would hit betray. So I thought it be best to explain to her the advantages to saying trust. Did I think I got through to her? No. Did I? No. However....here is the greatest thing! Two other people hit betray, one expected. One, not so much. I think it was foolish for one of the trustee's to say what they did when they knew the partner would say betray but what do I know?
Here is the thing I've been itching to say all through this post:
You better hope I get executed this round.
If I should not get executed, Elise, Mitch and Blaise, I am telling you now, if there is ever a chance for you guys to get an exemption which I can prevent....I will do so with all my might. There will almost certainly be an exemption or bust challenge and when that happens, should I be in, you will not get that. Mole, whoever you are, take advantage of this, I dare you, but I warned everyone in that chat (awww Blaise wasn't there, tough) that this might happen.
Now, I have no real personal issues with any of you three, I can work with you in challenges and I will talk to you with no hidden agendas or snide remarks. I think no ill of you and I hope you will believe me, but I also ask for your belief in the exmption issue, I'm being serious.

Reaction to Execution #3
Why is it always the case that the second I finally conclude that a person is not the mole, they go and get themselves executed. Why? Urgh. Now, before any of you start laughing at me for thinking Beth was the mole, I am referring to Kyle here. I was never sure about Kyle and he was always on my suspect list, not high mind you, but I always just didnt know what was going on his head, because I know he was one very smart guy. The second though that I saw he got a -3 this quiz, I couldnt believe it, because I knew right there that he had just self-executed, and if memory serves he got a penalty for the exact same offense last round. Kyle, we never really spoke, but you certainly had me under wraps for the short time you were in the game, well played.
Beth on the other hand, I managed to score 0 for you on the second quiz and 1 for you on the third, so, I can say with some confidence that you werent the mole. I also didnt speak to you at all really, we had two conversations I believe so, I never got a feel for you, which makes you "interesting". What I mean by that is, I always wondered what you were thinking, who were you suspecting, could you have been suspecting me? Were you suspecting the people I was? Did you tie for last place with me? Were you just not active enough to get a feel for the players or had you secretly got the game under wraps....etc etc etc. I am quite peeved you left because you werent the mole and so thats one less suspect on my list, true everyone didnt suspect you, but it mean you had one more person to choose from then me :P
Both players I wish you the best in the future, you did play very well, and even though you went on the third execution, you really did make it quite far. Well done. :D
Public Confessional 3.2
You know.....a few people have started calling players out on things they have done....I have never done it before believing there be no advantage to myself, however....this pot is stupidly low...if our teamwork does not improve, I will call names, AND....if you dont think I am doing well enough, feel free to name me as well....I dont care what it takes, our teamwork needs to improve.....

Public Confessional 3.1
The activity of this game surprises me that we are all on and such, I think it makes things so much more interesting. We are really getting into the swing of things and I know everyones names, numbers, speech patterns etc etc.....Even the occassional private joke and mole discussion session....really, its game on.
So it is with all this comradery, with all this joy from winning four dollars that it is left for me to remind everyone JUST HOW BADLY WE PERFORMED IN THAT CHALLENGE! Now - let us not forget, this challenge was a very tough one and getting four dollars is more then anyone could have predicted, its just - we kinda....well....lucked out.
There was no teamwork at all, even getting everyone to say a number was hard enough. Maybe you thought that person was the mole, or bad at expressing themselves? Hello? There were three pictures per monument! We lost a lot of time due to peoples pride and stubborness and wanting to do things their way right then and there. Too often is this the case, and it really needs to stop.
If before it felt like I was telling people off in my blog posts, I wasnt, I just wanted to say things and I do so bluntly. Now, however, I am telling you off, and I'm telling myself off too. Everyone speaking and coming up with ideas is fine. However, arguing that your idea is the only one that we are allowed to do, is not. Stopping the flow of the challenge to have an argument because your pride (remember we are ALIAS' here!!) wont allow it, also is wrong. I am not promoting myself as someone that is always right or always a team player, what I am saying though is that we spent 10 minutes getting the first monument pictures described to us, and we made most of our money in the last few minutes.
We haven't got to the betrayal or lying challenges yet where we could lose all money gained in one swift blow by someone. They are when we shout and yell, not yet. We need this pot to be as large as possible now so that when they come, we have something to be proud of.

Reaction to Execution #2
Anyways, obviously, down to 9 suspects, and I have already removed three people, so I'm down to six. I think that unless I have gotten really lucky, the mole should be one of those people.
Back on topic, Richard, I liked our few conversations, we didn't speak much but at the same time you were still playing hard and strong and so, I really am glad to have played against you. Brandon, we spoke once, and it wasn't for that long, however, you got very good reviews from others shall we say, my regret is that we didn't speak more. Well played too. (Oh and, really nice blog :P)

Public Confessional 2
I think these challenges are exactly as they say on the tin, challenging. We really have had some tough ones and it shows in our pot. I don't think that the mole has actually done a 'good' job, to be honest, I think if at best theyve done 'mediocore' and the reason is because of the toughness of the challenges, subtlety is just....meh. Theres so much to say, and so many things that could of happened the mole cant say 'oooh I did this and that and got away with it' its more like 'oh I did this but even if I hadnt we still wouldnt have won but I want to make it look like I sabotaged.'
Yes. I am insulting the mole.
Reason? I think that its my turn to go, I wont be negative, if anything I will remain very positive and hopeful...but realistically it will probably be me. If it is, I want to get in my little quip on the mole.
BACK TO THE CHALLENGE! Man I get so sidetracked sometimes, if I talk to you and I go off on a tangent, just slap me or something I dont know. I think that the team gave it a very good shot, and despite the well, I wont lie, numerous errors, on the whole we worked as a team, we got things together from the get go AND we didnt fall into the most obvious traps of running out of 'goes' by all posting all 10 of our posts too early or whatever. I think we can be proud of this and, really due to the almost impossibility of this challenge, am quite a bit bummed that we didnt get like some of the money possible, a clear all or nothing is not realistic.
I will say it now though, the mole was at work, (despite how little they needed to do) there was multiple errors here and there and I'm not blaming anyone, because the errors can really be traced back to pretty much anyone. I just feel that again, some things that certain people are saying are falling on deaf ears. Yes weve got the teamwork issue sorted, great. Now all we need is everyone understanding everyones views. Yes I admit that I try to make my opinions as vocal and as known as possible, but I do it to help not hinder. I do believe it was a very VERY big mistake to post blogs that were created early September for all I we know they posted that in good faith, but, not realising the danger it could cause despite warnings is a bit disheartening.
Goodluck all :D

Reaction to Execution #1
I kind of thought after the way I distributed my answers that I could probably survive, but, it unfortunately provides no answers as to who the mole actually is....funny that :(
Goodbye Cheri and Ellery, you will be missed, hope I don't join you any time soon.

Public Confessional 1.2
Anyways, the challenge itself, come on guys, that was poor. In every sense, to some people I said it was all just a misunderstanding and such but lets be slightly more honest, no-one wanted to come together and make a solid plan. The one we had about picking three numbers each was very flawed because we didnt make sure we had every tape covered. Not only that but it left quite a few of us without tapes to do, so I ended up just picking five random ones and listening to them, just in case, only one of which was used to answer a question.
The real problem? Too many chiefs and not enough indians, I admit at first trying to press an idea of getting us to say roughly what each tape is about but, after a while it just seems that everyone wanted the flawed idea...which is fine...BUT...we have to all agree on it.
So, the solution was planning, something we need to do beforehand AND have everyone agree on it, if people dont understand, SOMEONE EXPLAIN and have everyone get what each person should do. It sounds so basic, but....simplicity is usually the best.
So anyways, we all expect to get the shiv this round, and I am no exception, I am almost certain it will be knowing my luck, because thats all it will be, luck. Should I go and not speak to anyone else beforehand, cyas, nice talking. :P

Public Confessional 1.1
On that note let me start with this, the vast majority of people I have spoken to are nice, friendly and want to play this game. I enjoy the chats I have, even though we all have to look at 'cheat sheets' to remember peoples names. However I get the impression that some people aren't quite into it, or even some aren't even here. I am sure they have a good reason, don't get me wrong, but they contributed to a huge loss of money.
lol......sorry I am slowly turning this into a rant on my thoughts on the first challenge, forgive me. Quite a few people didn't make the most of this challenge, it was meant to get us talking, and a few 'talkative' people who say they could only talk to a few people, I know for a fact have talked to over 6 people, AND, we only needed 3 AIM conversations and the other 3 could come from the messageboard. The thing is, I cannot blame the individuals, not really....us as a collective failed for not posting as many responses on the forum, which was by far the easiest medium. There is no reason why we couldnt have got at least 10 of them done, and no it doesnt make you people look like the mole...
Even though we are all sharing our information, I'm not entirely sure what there is in that. People lie in this game, players and the mole. Everyone is going to be double, treble, quadruple bluffing everyone, especially when it comes to a 50:50 answer. You cannot expect to get the answer you want really...however, it does post a very easy way to check on someones credibility, but I wont say how, not here anyways :P
Thats about it for now....unfortunate start, but heres to more in the furture :)

Response #7: A pig. (NOOOOOOOOO - Not that theres anything wrong with a pig of course)
From: Richard (player02)
omc6player12 (00:34:33): sorry that I am not too responsive, I am writing up my report atm
omc6player02 (00:35:16): not a problem
omc6player12 (00:36:01): actually....Ive got like six different opinions on what it is, could you possibly look at mine, and see if you can cast a deciding vote? lol
omc6player12 (00:36:09): http://omc6player12.blogspot.com/
omc6player12 (00:36:12): would be much appreciated

omc6player02 (00:36:41): i think it looks like a pig
omc6player12 (00:37:11): hmmmm ok, seven different opinions, ah wells....thanks
So there you have it....we had a seven way tie for what it is, however the challenge never said we needed a definitive answer, soooo, we shall leave the blot, to be forever known as a alien and pig orgy scene that is dancing with a cute monster about to take some aspirin at the bottom of the sea.
