ShadowLurker Mole!!! A WINNER IS CROWNED!

[Brutal Assassin]

i dont plan on posting in the thread unless i get exemption..

There's always one isn't there....


I'd agree with the dice if it wasn't for this guy. The question now is, do we get $20,000 at the cost of this guy becoming HoH, or not? I'd suggest the first option tbh, since what Xpom is doing doesn't really affect his probability of being the mole or not, he could be honest but deliberatly unhelpful/just wants immunity, or he could be the mole trying to WIFOM us into believing that. Either way, if we want, we can probably eliminate him in the 2nd eviction if we want to anyway, and we get $20,000, which is always good.

How would we evict him, exactly? Am I missing some major rule change from the actual mole?

[Brutal Assassin]

Eteocles is good with numbers

PBug is good with numbers

[Brutal Assassin]

I can do creative.

[Brutal Assassin]

BA is creative

[Brutal Assassin]

Any objections to my putting myself in the numbers group? Seeing as how that's my profession and all...

Taken already. I felt that was teh one the mole could sabotage most so I assigned 2 people I remember as mentioning in the past that they were good with numbers. I thought you were too but wasn't 100%

[Brutal Assassin]

Flameaxe is good at recognizing things
Pie_is_good is good at recognizing things

[Brutal Assassin]

Simulpost. Go ahead and ignore my post.

If perfect is in that group I want

Troj is good at recognizing things.

[Brutal Assassin]

Anticollie is inactive.

You can't do that. The final 7 need to sort that out now.

[Brutal Assassin]

Jathan, Please put Troj there, not BBM. I just wanted BBM and Pie together, in this case just have troj be that spot as I posted.

[Brutal Assassin]

Double posting is allowed.
You may communicate with those in your group outside this thread, just not communicate with anyone not in your group.

So alone...

[Brutal Assassin]

GJ.

[Brutal Assassin]

BBM, what did you guys end up guessing the answers were? Don't get how you could have fucked it up.

[Brutal Assassin]

....

[Brutal Assassin]

Won't give it out since it could be a quiz question.

[Brutal Assassin]

Guys, the link is going to be hidden. I just did a search which would have turned it up otherwise (it turned up Eteo's fakepost). So we're going to have to do a lot of grunt work.

That said, I don't have any post of mine which Jathan could have ever edited (I haven't played in a mafia game for ages).

[Brutal Assassin]

ShadowLurker, can you check your posts as well? I've got a feeling Jathan might have hid it in yours.

[Brutal Assassin]

Clue Please

[Brutal Assassin]

Well, I just searched for any time which one of us has had a "Wink" smiley in a post on the forums ever. Looked through some 100 posts, no link. I don't think it updates the search database when you edit a post though, so meh.

[Brutal Assassin]

I don't think it updates the search database when you edit a post though, so meh.

I thought you said searching for the link turned up my fake post....

Edit:

Edit2: Yes, it does update.

Didn't think of that.

Not sure then. I did check for any case of the word "Wink" (which is used to represent it), and checked the smilies to see if they were a link or not. But a few of the posts oddly did not have the smiley or someone writing out "Wink".

If you guys want to do it for yourself, type "Wink", change it to "Search for All Terms", then at the bottom select to show the results as posts. Then enter our names as the authors. The same can be done for the link.

Maybe someone can go through and try some of the other smileys?

[Brutal Assassin]

Did not check the replacements, since farside has not posted in this thread (Clue #1).

Outside of the players in the game, only Shea, Mith, and SL have posted in this thread. Checked all 3 for winks, nadda.

Ah, missed that.

[Brutal Assassin]

Eh, the only rule we know so far is that we need a bigger pot than the mole, so taking a bunch of money might not be bad afterall (so long as we don't need to pay our debt by the end of the game....).

[Brutal Assassin]

perfect628 is going by car

Eteocles is going by foot.

Xpom Telo is going by foot.

PBuG is going by car

[Brutal Assassin]

Why BA?

Making sure no-one puts themselves alone.

[Brutal Assassin]

Oman? dahill?

I'm on quite a bit, although Oman is on at diff times than me.

[Brutal Assassin]

Makes sense to have us start near the corners so that if we need to travel we know from the getgo.

[Brutal Assassin]

Makes more sense, imho, for the air people to search the bottom right on foot, so they are 1 phase away from the heliport should they need to GTFO.

[Brutal Assassin]

BOAT

Phase 1 - Search F1, G1, G2
Phase 2 - Move FG23

Phase 8 - Move EF56
Phase 9 - Search F5, F6, E6

Phase 11 - Search C6, C7, D6
Phase 12 - Search D7, hope.

FOOT

Phase x - Start DE12
Phase 1 - Search E1, E2
Phase 2 - Search D1, D2

Phase 7 - Search B7
Phase 8 - Move AB78
Phase 9 - Search A8
Phase 10 - Search B8
Phase 11 - Move BC78

Phase x - Start GH45
Phase 1 - Search G4, H4
Phase 2 - Search G5, H5
Phase 3 - Move GH56
Phase 4 - Search G6, H6
Phase 5 - Move GH67
Phase 6 - Search G7, H7

Phase 8 - Search G8, H8
Phase 9 - Move FG78
Phase 10 - Search F7, F8
Phase 11 - Move EF78
Phase 12 - Search E7, E8

Uncovered spaces: A1, C3, C4, C5, D3, D8, H1, H2, H3

Of course, some of these aren't practical since anything happening in the later rounds is pretty much worthless since we won't be able to converge. But this is the max amount of coverage we can get, and ensures the max chances of finding him by phase 5-6 IMHO. And of course, the likelyhood is that we'll find Troj and only a few of my listed phases work, but I felt for completions sake I might as well show all 12 phases.

[Brutal Assassin]

Our best chance is to search green and converge on the middle, and then from there, just move in conjunction onto random squares (without searching) and hope we will hit The Magic Square on accident.

Did you bother mapping it out at all? I basically have us starting in the corners without being nonsensical about it. Also if we start moving around pseudo-randomly there is a chance we'll converge too early and end up just wasting moves by the end (also if the boat runs into anyone at all they are severely limited in effectiveness). It is all about searching as many squares as possible in the shortest amount of time. Heli person also needs to be near a helipad and just doing a cursory search near the helipad on foot.

Also, why would you search green instead of yellow first? If he is in yellow we need to know right away so the boat person can get out and start hoofing it (and if it is in the NE corner the heli is going to have to start hoofing too).

[Brutal Assassin]

FG12 then

Pie, roll a 5 for me <3

[Brutal Assassin]

I uh meant

GH34

[Brutal Assassin]

I am searching: H3, H4, G3

[Brutal Assassin]

Updated map assuming everyone did what they said in thread (Not sure if Jathan was supposed to reveal this or not). Moving to GH34 this turn.

[Brutal Assassin]

Gambling Expert

If we're allowed to assign, I'd like to go ahead and:

Troj will be our math expert

[Brutal Assassin]

Eteocles googles

[Brutal Assassin]

I totally thought it was Pie. I <3 You Pie.

[Brutal Assassin]

[Brutal Assassin]

So I can't just assign the groups on my own this time Jathan?

[Brutal Assassin]

The real solution here is for the mole to step forward so that PEG doesn't need the exemption.

[Brutal Assassin]

I'll

Vote: PEG

because I feel he is smart enough to do the match and realize we are way behind right now and need to catch up to the Mole.

[Brutal Assassin]

PEG's order is probably what he needs to do to get exemption. Don't see why else he'd care about the order.

[Brutal Assassin]

Fine by me. PEG?

[Brutal Assassin]

Eteo plans on trying for the exemption regardless, obviously. He's given no reason to put him near the front.

[Brutal Assassin]

Because him posting an order and demanding we follow it isn't something he'd demand us to do unless he was getting something in return.

Oh yeah, and there was this:

Here's what's up... I feel like taking an exemption right (mostly cause for some weird reason you chose me in the first place srsly....)

mmm k.

Quit Mole trolling.

[Brutal Assassin]

In retrospect, I think I'd like to swap his first 2 choices if there is the chance of his exemption simply being for getting the next person in line to be Anticollie.

Vote: dahill

[Brutal Assassin]

I propose that we start eating babies.

[Brutal Assassin]

Pick BA

Lets go.

[Brutal Assassin]

Take $5000

[Brutal Assassin]

Damn this game is easy....

I know right?

[Brutal Assassin]

Gogogo Flameaxe

[Brutal Assassin]

*Shrug*

Let him be last, knowing that it will be $40,000 for the pot, and let him make that decision over picking him early with the possibility that someone else will take it.

[Brutal Assassin]

try

[Brutal Assassin]

Guys. Who said the word try is that important. Maybe, just maybe, he just has to take it, huh?

That player will then get the choice of helping the pot, or to

get

try

for an exemption.

[Brutal Assassin]

And, really, you didn't take it because you're too lazy? I'd give my left nut for a chance at an exemption, when we had the money to spare.

PLAYER Pot: $102,500
MOLE Pot: $140,000

If someone got the exemption this challenge, we'd be $80,000 in the hole. And the mod has said in the past that we only win if we have more money than the Mole.

[Brutal Assassin]

Pick Flameaxe please people.

[Brutal Assassin]

You just need to pick yourself and pick the money.

[Brutal Assassin]

Hello houseguests. For this challenge, you must exchange a key to the horse for a key to Blackberry's heart

Where exactly would one put a key into a horse?

[Brutal Assassin]

Group 1

BA
PBuG
Eteocles
Scotmany

Best communicator=BA

[Brutal Assassin]

Group 2


pickemgenius
Trojan Horse
Flameaxe
Anticollie

Best communicator....Anticollie

[Brutal Assassin]

Group 3

dahill1
Oman
Blackberry

....I'll let you guys decide communicator <3

[Brutal Assassin]

While anyone may assign the groups, only those inside the group may assign their best communicator!

Fine. Group 1 stands, group 2 can decide their own too <3

[Brutal Assassin]

I am so good at this game

[Brutal Assassin]

I'll take Short but impossible.

[Brutal Assassin]

Are we still waiting on the exemption challenge SL?

Edit: Nevermind, for some reason I thought there was something else we needed to do there.

[Brutal Assassin]

I hate you PEG.

[Brutal Assassin]

Have fun with the toughest quiz ever guys.

[Brutal Assassin]

This is a challenge where one person won't be able to assign everyone.

Boo.

I choose Blackberry as my teammate, and I will be the runner.

[Brutal Assassin]

I think the number is 624, Bob!

[Brutal Assassin]

There are 4 ways to search for him, by foot, by car, by boat, and by air. I will need you guys to divide yourself up into four groups according to this. Each group must have at least 1 person and may have a maximum of

6

people. You have

24

hours to divide yourself up. Anyone may assign anyone, to assign someone, simply post ShadowLurker is going by boat.

SIX to FOUR

http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/276/ ... llead2.png

(Just the 2 is of notice)

[Brutal Assassin]

I choose Blackberry as my teammate, and I will be the runner.

But I don't want to work with Eteocles.

We cannot put the 2 gays together. :/

[Brutal Assassin]

Vote Fig, obv

[Brutal Assassin]

Any other logical statements about which one is the correct fruit? O_o

Only thing I can note is that Banana Bunch is the only plural of the set. The rest are all singular fruits.

But the fig looks disgusting, so I'll vote that for now.

[Brutal Assassin]

Since no-one else has voted Fig and I have a

strong

feeling that Tchea Fruit is wrong:

Vote Banana Bunch

[Brutal Assassin]

We have 2 days to decide...vote people!

[Brutal Assassin]

So, it isn't Durian.

My clue was that it was not tchea fruit (as I suggested before).

Banana Bunch>BB's Fig reasoning.

[Brutal Assassin]

Also worth noting that if fig had an "A" it would spell fag, a common term for cigarettes. And we all know that cigarettes are poison.

[Brutal Assassin]

I think taking the 100% chance of $15K is the better option.

It isn't a 100% chance, and it isn't 15K either. It is technically $0 since we gain nothing on the mole.

So no Tchea and no Durian. Feeling good about Banana Bunch.

[Brutal Assassin]

im prolly voting for fig or strawberry later tonight.... would actually like ALL THE ASSHOLES WHO GOT INFORMATION TO POST IT OK????

Reasoning for fig or strawberry voting? I'm a bit concerned with the amount of people voting shit for no reason.

[Brutal Assassin]

Eteocles voting strawberry is enough for me to not want to vote strawberry.

and between fig and banana bunch the plural matter is still more prevalent than any argument made for Fig.

[Brutal Assassin]

Obviously the people providing incentives to pick certain fruits will get exemptions is certain fruits are picked.

How do you come to that conclusion?

Also, what was your clue? Or were you offered an exemption?

[Brutal Assassin]

Some of you have been given information that could help, while others have been given offers at exemptions.

I interpreted that as everyone having some piece of information.

[Brutal Assassin]

Yeah, greedy bastard.

[Brutal Assassin]

Dun dun dun

Any riddle?

[Brutal Assassin]

Are lateral thinking riddles allowed?

4. Flameaxe

I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?

ANSWER: No.

[Brutal Assassin]

BA's guess did not count as it was not in bold. None of the answers are wise guy answers.

Interestingly, "No" is commonly acknowledged as the "correct" answer to this riddle. Any other solution has some "stretched" logic. I'll let someone else guess the ones that are also considered...

4. No

[Brutal Assassin]

Also,

number 6 is impossible.

Euler proved this.

[Brutal Assassin]

Stunning.

[Brutal Assassin]

I am busy.

I wish to be partners with Troj

What still needs to be done?

[Brutal Assassin]

Did I miss out on something regarding the Prime Number challenge? Or was I not playing in it?

[Brutal Assassin]

Did I miss out on something regarding the Prime Number challenge? Or was I not playing in it?

U MISSED SOMETHING

Was I supposed to get a PM? Dont see anything in thread.

[Brutal Assassin]

Also, I am in LA for the WCG USA Finals (and E For All Expo). Limited access til Monday.

[Brutal Assassin]

Woooo, $40 challenge!

[Brutal Assassin]

Troj for current events sounds good.

[Brutal Assassin]

Back. Won $1000 and a trip to Germany to represent USA in Carom3D for the Grand Finals.

[Brutal Assassin]

I think it is my turn judging by the subject...

Everybody Loves Raymond

Not that sure, but it makes sense TV shows which are more modern would have a higher average nielson due to increased TV ownership. Heck, I'm not even sure Nielson Ratings were in place when some of these shows ran.

[Brutal Assassin]

Oman/SSF/Gorrad should prob quit.

[Brutal Assassin]

Final 5...I'm def not getting rid of my exemption.

[Brutal Assassin]

The Golden Compass

Lots of buzz around it.

[Brutal Assassin]

Who is next?

[Brutal Assassin]

I'll go on.

[Brutal Assassin]

Quit J-dodging.

[Brutal Assassin]

I think it has been longer than two hours, but:

Figured you guys had gotten it in before me. Was fun. Congrats mole.

[Brutal Assassin]

Meh. I thought it was Flameaxe, although I really wanted to go with Troj until I went all Flameaxe Week 5 and stayed in the game. Kind of committed to it then.

Troj seemed like the only guy who was really playing the game. Everyone else was just doing challenges.

I mean, he even asked for an alliance. Who does that?

[Brutal Assassin]

You know, on the Trust game when you basically handed me the exemption I did think for a few minutes about the possibility of you being the mole due to the fact that given my play all game long, you had to have known I would go for the exemption.

Thought the only reason someone would give me an exemption there was if they didn't care and were the mole. Then I forgot about it entirely come next quiz.

[Brutal Assassin]

Meh. I thought it was Flameaxe, although I really wanted to go with Troj until I went all Flameaxe Week 5 and stayed in the game. Kind of committed to it then.

This doesn't count. We were more than an alliance. A brotherhood.
