Hello there, houseguests! Welcome to The Mole! Allow me to briefly explain how the game works and what will be expected of you, as players!
The Concept
There are a total of nine players in the game. You will all be competing together in various challenges to accumulate money into the Pot, which the winner will eventually take. You'll be mingling as a group in the thread, the chatter box, and towards the later part of the game; on messengers (Mumble or AIM).
The goal of the GROUP is to get as much money in the various challenges and tasks as possible. There will be anywhere from 1-3 tasks per round. Any 'money' you take away from the game will grant you special (albeit probably lame) abilities and rewards in later Rebby games.
However, it's not just one big group party. Among the nine of you is a Mole, selected by random draw. The Mole's sole job is to ensure the house ends up with as little money as possible, without giving away their identity.
Each round, the group will partake in a 5-10 question quiz regarding the Mole's identity. The person who scores the lowest on the quiz will be executed from the game. There will be a tiebreaker question on each quiz; in the result of a double tiebreaker, The Mole will ultimately determine who stays and who goes.
This continue until we are left with three houseguests. The final test will give us a Winner, a Runner-Up and the Mole. The Winner and Runner-Up will split the Pot 80/20. The Mole will get money from weekly tasks given to them.
Phases
The game has three phases. All phases go from midnight to midnight, USA Eastern time:
-Downtime: This will typically begin each round. You will be given a small, individual task to complete such as an introduction, or to find a picture...silly things like that so you, as a group, can mingle in the thread and potentially get more information how about which of you is the Mole. In the event of multiple tasks in a round, downtime will split the tasks up.
Challenges: The group tasks will typical require teamwork, but will never require too much effort. They may as simple as a flash game to complete, or they could result in a drawn out conversation about how to solve a problem. I try to avoid doing posting challenges, or live tasks, but sometimes they have to be done in order to move the game along. This phase requires the most effort. Remember, you are working as a group to get the MOST money!
-Quiz Time: I will post a 5-10 question quiz regarding the Mole's identity, and you will PM me your answers within 24 hours. The person who scores the lowest on the quiz is eliminated.
Rules
1. The Mole is technically not allowed to give away their identity, however a common strategy in the past has been to make other people think you are the Mole in order to cause people to do poorly on their quizzes. So, I do not restrain anyone (including the Mole) from saying they're the Mole. But keep in mind...there's only one Mole.
2. You may discuss this game through messenger, private message, or the chatter box (through Chubbs staff discretion). However, you are may NOT discuss quizzes in public. Once the quiz is over, feel free.
3. Please be active. Failure to participate in something (at least posting) results in a strike. Three strikes and you're out. If you have a reason to be out, just let me know ahead of time.
4. Never copy/paste something I say to you (AIM, chat, PM) about the game.
5. Lastly...just try to enjoy yourself. This is the first time in a long time I've hosted this game, and the first time ever here. I understand some people might realize it's not what they expected. You signed up, so just do your best to enjoy yourself with the players until your time in the game is over. I don't like quitters, but if you feel the need, just let me know privately and I'll honor your wishes, no questions asked. Also, on that topic, please have patience with me as I do my best to make this fun, in the hopes we attract a larger player base next time.
