The last challenge claimed Athena, though only just, and now its time to sit back, to relax, to gamble.

A little behind schedule, this will be a THREE DAY challenge and its very simple.

An account has been made for you at games.yahoo.com with the following details...

username : cbnmole2
password : bond007

Currently this has $1000 in it and any of you can use it at will over the next three days. Your goal is to get up to $10,000 in the account by the end of the challenge. Any amount between $5,000 and $10,000 will earn you the equivalent in points. For example if you end on $4999 you will get 0points, ending on $7654 will get you 7654points and ending on $25,000 will get you 10,000 points.

Play what you will, share some tips here if you like and best of luck.

The challenge will close exactly three days from the time of this post.

I had a look at the site matt, and cant figure out how the point thing works, is it possible for you to explain, or is it something we have to figure out for ourselves?

How the hell does yahoo games work?

Lets assume I have better things to do (like watch paint dry) and have never been to this site. Instructions!

Not only that, but lets assume that (as this is the mole game here) someone has already changed the password.

Let me guess, it's thunderdome...

Another one of these annoying games :)

The funny thing is, I bet some cretin like dolce changed the password and not even one of our players.

Ahh well, happy 0 points in 3 days and I look forward to the next mole quiz.

Is there blackjack available? If there is, I imagine I can rake in over 50,000 in the first day.

Pity we can only make 10,000 points maximum.

Learnt some lessons from last time, Brendan.

I assume most people know how the site works. Essentially sign in and go play a card game, its all pretty self explanatory. You can't go into minus numbers and can bet $1 at a time until you find your feet.

Also, to get ahead of a forseen problem, I will need whatever the password is three days from now to be delivered to me on time so that I can assess your point score.

Do not lose it and for God sake's don't give it to The Mole.

OK, this all seems easy (used my real yahoo ID to try it out).

$1000 is a lot of cash, I assume it's fake :) (was intending to make a few million and then leave you all to it)

EDIT:

Watching some of these tables makes me wish these suckers were playing no limit at my casino.

What jerkoffs!

Well, Brendan, I have no problem with you not sharing the password, but it does make you responsible for our points, as I would like to play at yahoo as well.

We're the most untrustworthy 2 of the whole game TRS.

Yet I have this feeling we're both the best blackjack players here too...

Pity I didn't get to that PW first: I could have made 10,000 in one afternoon and sat on it for 3 days and hey bingo we get 10,000 points.

Sorta makes me all 'Casino Royale' and the Mole is that fat bast 'The Cypher' and i'm gonna put the 10,000 bullet between his eyes Smersh style!

Well, for now, if the people with the password think they can bring in the points, go for it for now.

Jesus. I just played on it under my own name. I got 9000 and then promptly lost it all from over confidence. Down to 2000 now.

That sounds like my usual game play. I shoulda got up at 9000. (If it had been our points, I would have done).

Where's that friggen Felix and his little extra cash?

Well, I like to have time to make up that little extra.

Like I said, I made 9 grand on my own account. That lucky streak could have been put to use on our points and then, tomorrow, I could have calmly made a grand.

Perhaps the "CBn Mole II : Untrustable" tag won't do your cause many favours here.

We're the most untrustworthy 2 of the whole game TRS.

Yes, and I'm not sure why I'm lumped into that category this time:

Mole Puzzle: MILT-the answer provided be me, was the answer. I also contributed to many other answers that proved to be correct.

SNakeEyes Hunt: I posted a valid caught, yes, it was dumb luck another CBn'r was posting at the same time, but I was after points nonetheless.

Athena: Yes, I did blab for an exemption, and that was greedy.

This is gambling matt.

I never lose. Ever. Even if I was the mole, this was the last challenge and the last 10,000 points needed, I would win it for the sake of blackjack!

It doesn't matter though, I can blame whoever doesn't win it, if we lose and I don't get at least a chance.

Edit:

Sure you don't want me to do it? Nice picture here, i'm sure you can guess who is me.

Come on Brendan you're just being selfish now! You're ruining the whole thing! Just PM the password to the people you know you can trust (like me) and let's start earning those points. Too much time has already been wasted! It was a good idea for you to change the password but not at the expense of time and points. I urge you, please PM me the password so that we can get some money!!

You can get 10000 in about 5 minutes, I did it quite easily.

So I really hope we lose this challenge so that if anything goes wrong again, we can blame the very selfish player.

Actually, If we lose, I say he should eliminated.
