The Mole : Episode 3

[KittyMo]

When is our first task?

[Jal]

Tomorrow at 5pm EST.

Speaking of which, how do we want to select people?

[SleepyKrew]

Is the veto thing public? I thought we would each submit votes privately or something

[Faraday]

It'd be kind of useful to know what their veto'ing but in absence of that I'd be okay with Blackberry/reck who I think would both be reasonably level headed and not do something dumb with it.

[Faraday]

Well I guess I don't really think anyone would do anything catastrophically dumb so it's whatever, really.

[JasonWazza]

yeah i'm cool with that, i don't see how much bad can come from the veto.

[Jal]

It said nothing about pming a vote, so I figure public.

I'm pretty whatever. Maybe prolific players. At least if they do something stupid with their veto power, people are more likely to know if that's just them being normally dumbasserific or not.

[KittyMo]

ok I'm not gonna be online til few hrs after the task is posted and Reckberry is fine w me

[Colin Tracey]

Choices for group divisions and such should occur in public.

[JasonWazza]

Choices for group divisions and such should occur in public.

Umm group divisions?

Isn't it just Vetoing 2 people at this point?

(side note, are any of these challenges going to be live?)

1) By "group divisions" I mean things like this where I tell you to pick two people, or divide yourselves into groups or whatever.

2) You're choosing two players with veto power, yes.

3) Haven't decided; there are some that could go either way.

[Blackberry]

We only have a couple of hours left. So just so the host has an official answer...

Ben (Blackberry) & Will (xRECKONERx)

[SleepyKrew]

Yeah them two

[Colin Tracey]

Alright, Ben and Reck will be the veto pair.

(who's Will?)

I'll probably post the Task soon, once I'm happy with how it's written as there's no real reason to wait until 5. If anybody has an issue with that policy let me know.

[Colin Tracey]

(also this not having an avatar thing is SUPER LAME)

Task 1

Signature Items

Welcome to Vienna, players! Your first Task will take place on this walkway outside the Hofburg Palace. Currently the official residence of the President of Austria, this palace has been the seat of government for many empires.

From this point forward, you may not privately communicate with any players except your designated partner, which means that for now the only people who may communicate are Ben and Reck.

Before 5pm Eastern time tomorrow, I require something of every player. Ben and Reck, you must pair up the eight remaining players into four pairs and choose an order for them from one to four. The rest of you have a different task: you must choose one item that you own that you feel best represents you as a person. This could be a favorite shirt, a souvenir from a trip or anything else that you feel represents you. Photograph this item without anything else in the picture to give clues and PM it to me.

For the second part of this Task, the eight pictures will be placed along this walkway. Starting from either end, two pairs will make their way down the path. At each station, you will be shown one of the signature items, along with either a blank slot or a player's name.

The job of the pairs, upon arriving at each station, is to determine whose item they are looking at and place that person's name in the blank area. If their name is already there, you may simply elect to move on. Each pair may only place each person's name down ONCE, so be sure you have thought your choice through.

Once all four pairs have seen all eight stations, the photos will be presented to Ben and Reck, your veto players, who will have the chance to change up to

three

of the group's answers. Once they are confident, the answers will be checked. For each correct answer submitted, the group will earn

$250

for the pot.

The first pair will begin at station #1 and move down the path to station #8. At the same time, the second pair will begin at #8 and move to #1. The pace is determined by how quickly you submit to me; if you are faster than the other group, you will reach them before they reach you. Once one of the first two pairs has finished, the third pair will begin from #1, and once a second pair finishes, the fourth pair will begin from #8. You will not be informed which pair placed the name currently attached to a picture.

You may use this thread to discuss pairings and order, but may not discuss your item choice with anybody else. Once the pairs begin walking the path, this thread will be locked.

[Faraday]

Yo! I be here.

[Faraday]

So, I assume for the 3rd/4th groups that if a name is already there (as all names could be there?) they'd have the option of changing it, or?

[KittyMo]

Good question Faraday. Also could I possibly be paired with peg or BBM?

Yes, that is how it works.

[Faraday]

My preference would be to be paired up with mist, actually.

[Jal]

Who is BBM?

If we're picking partners, I guess I'd prefer either Krewbuns or Jason.

[Faraday]

Flameaxe is BBM.

[Jal]

I was trying to fit it to Blackberry. Well, I guess it figured right by it no way being the two I listed

[Faraday]

I have no preference for order, expect I would like to be an odd number because those are cooler ._. (no srsly!)
