Hi PokeBeach. This is Bippa here with a brand new game for you to play. The game is the Mole, based off of a TV show where contestants aim to win prize money. This is a new game in the Game Corner, so they will be a few hiccups along the way, so forgive me in advance for that.

Rules
In the game, one person is the Mole, a person designed to sabatoge the game and make the prize money as little as possible. The rest of the contestants are to figure out who the mole is. At the end of each episode, the contestants do quizzes based on who they think the mole is, with the quiz consisting of 10 questions. The lowest scoring player is eliminated. The mole will never be eliminated, even if they are figured out.

Rules of the Forum version
  1. No communication with Players at all, whether in IMs or PMs.
  2. No Spam, which includes posting if you want to be in the game.
  3. No admitting that you are the Mole
  4. Complete challenges on time; tough love if you don't
  5. If you are eliminated, no posting in thread. If you do, you will be banned from future seasons that I host.
  6. You must have a PokeBeach account to play. No siblings, cousins, parents, etc can play.

Topics it would help to get knowledge on
  • Pokemon (specifically Black and White)
  • PokeBeach and its Forums
  • Other Nintendo games
  • The TV show "The Mole"

Game Schedule
Sunday: 1st Challenge Starts
Wednesday: 1st Challenge Ends/2nd Challenge Starts
Friday: 2nd Challenge Ends/Quiz is issued
Saturday: Quiz is due

What the challenges could be
  • Knowledge tests
  • Answering brain puzzlers
  • Designing Pokemon
  • Interviewing a PokeBeach member (make sure to ask for permission first)
  • Drawing Pictures
  • And much more

Contestant List (max 13)

Outro

RE: The Mole - Sign up Now - Game Starts on the 3rd

I've got a question that's been asked numerous times, so I thought I'd answer it here publicly.

Q, How similar is this game to Murder, and/or Werewolf?
A, Mole and Werewolf have no similarities. No one is voted for, and there is little discussion on who you think the mole is; just discussion on the challenges.
Mole and Murder have no similarities. Mole is not played in a IC/OoC style, and again, no one is voted for. The quiz aspect, along with challenges, ensure that the Mole and Murder aren't synonymous.

So if you're not going to sign-up because you think this game is just a rehash of Murder/Werewolf, you're mistaken.

Bippa has told me to post so he does not have to triple post. It looks like a mere four spots remain for those still wanting to play.
 
RE: The Mole - Sign up Now - Game Starts on the 3rd

Thanks Joey.

Theoretically, we CAN start now. But I know the game will be better if we can get the remaining 3 contestants. So spread the word; I know this will be a fun game.

Also, I am asking contestants to post in the game thread please. Tell us about if you've watched the TV show, what you hope will happen, and anything else. Your input can shape this game.
 
RE: The Mole - Sign up Now - Game Starts on the 3rd

Never watched the show.

But it looks interesting and new.
 
RE: The Mole - Sign up Now - Game Starts on the 3rd

Same as guy never watched the show.

Looks fun threw so I'm giving it a try.
 
RE: The Mole - Sign up Now - Game Starts on the 3rd

Perfect, I get to explain the game (not sarcasm)

Basically, I will pick a contestant to be the Mole. The mole does not directly interfere with the game, and does not kill people. Rather, they try to do poorly in challenges. For example, on a knowledge quiz on Pokemon games, the Mole would try to get all the answers wrong, which means that the prize money is lower. The Mole is never eliminated or killed.

During Challenges, you will have 2 days to complete it. If you perform well, more prize money will be awarded. I will update the prize money total after each challenge. Challenge results will not be posted to protect the Mole's identity.

The quiz will be posted on Friday, and contestants will have Friday and Saturday to answer complete them. Quizzes will always consist of 10 multiple choice questions. For example, if contestants did a 3 paragraph essay on an attack of my choosing, one question could be "what attack did the Mole write an essay on?". The questions will always pertain to the mole.

After I collect the quiz answers, I will post each members name in green or red. If your name is in green, you are still in the game. If your name is in red, you are eliminated because you got the lowest score on the quiz. If you don't hand in your answers, you will receive a score of zero. If there is a tie, the person who earned the least amount of prize money (I will know this because it will be saved on my CPU) will be eliminated. If there is still a tie, I'll use a RNG. Again, the Mole cannot be eliminated.

Need more clarification?
 
RE: The Mole - Sign up Now - Game Starts on the 3rd

Hey. I'm going to close sign-ups now, seeing as we have 13 contestants.

So, with the remaining time, we're going to do a practice challenge. Here it is:

Which of the following animals has not had a Pokemon to resemble them? For each contestant that picks the right answer, $100 will be added to the prize money.
A) Tapir
B) Pumpkin
C) Dolphin
D) Yorkshire Terrier

Of course, it won't be this easy. In quiz based challenges, there will be about 5 questions. You would PM me your answers, and I'd reply with your score. The mole will NOT see your answers.

So, let's practice. PM me your answer to the question above.
 
RE: The Mole - Game Starts on the 3rd - Practice Challenge in Post 9

Game starts NOW!!!!

Your first challenge will be a simple one. You must construct a 3 paragraph essay on a Generation 5 Pokemon of your choice. Include PokeDex entries, how to obtain the Pokemon, useful attacks, its origion, anything really.

You will earn $500 for each essay that is perfect and outstanding. Each essay will lose $10 for each grammar mistake, $20 for each spelling mistake and $50 for missing something I think is important.

The deadline is Tuesday night, giving you all of today, Monday and Tuesday to work on this challenge. The mole has been PMed.
 
RE: The Mole - It has begun - Challenge #1 in Post 10

Yep. PM the essays, but I will need you to post the Pokemon you did your essay on.
