Since the TV show finished tonight here (how could it be Petrina, how, how) I think we could do our own version here.

The premise : one CBN member is made 'the Mole' whilst the job of everyone else participating on the forums is to find out who he or she is. The Mole is given a challenge each week that they will have to complete within the forums. Perhaps to sway a thread in a certain direction, annoy a certain wing of people and the like. We will need at least ten contestants. Nine genuine. One will be the Mole.

This challenge is also made known to the whole forums who have the entire next week to answer a questionairre about who the Mole is. Contestants will have to know who the Mole is but also know the mole well enough to come out the victor. The tactic of pretending to be the Mole will also emerge, making choosing the Mole all the more difficult.

At the end of each week once all of the questionairres are in ONE of the participants will be eliminated. He or she who scored lowest in the questionairre. The next challenge will be issued, as well as the next questionairre and it will begin again.

After ten weeks the game will be down to the final three - one will win, one will lose and one will be the Mole. The winner will help design their own personalised avatar that nobody else on CBN can have. A truly one of a kind prize thanks to Mr. Asterix!

Please register as a participant here, the more people who join the more fun it will be. Private message me if you are interested in being . . . the Mole.

Best of luck, the games begin soon...

Sounds pretty cool to me. Count me in.

I don't think you mentioned how many contestants there are to begin with, though.

Hmmmm....

Given that the challenge might involve annoying people...not just directly, but by trying to sway opinions...I'd say we have to be very careful with this.

But that is just my opinion.

Not sure this is really possible... what sort of challenges does it involve? What will the threads be about?

Too true Xen, I can assure you everything would be very well thought out. You should join in and police a little if necessary.

Thanks for joining. If we can get ten or more we can do it...three down so far...no Mole as yet...

Have you also considered there are people in different time zones here and that Sunday night may be Monday morning for someone else?

I hope this can happen, the prize is awesome but we need at least two more before it can work...as well as more applications to be..the mole.

Feel free to go recruiting, I'm happy to do it once we have the numbers.

Excellent, I cannot wait for this to begin. Took long enough to get enough people didn't it? Should be lots of fun when it gets underway though.
