Survivors and Moles, welcome to the second challenge.

Before we begin, some housekeeping.

Currently four of you believe you are The Mole.

The first challenge has been a test to see who would be the best Mole. All applications to be The Mole were accepted and so for a quarter of you the first challenge was a chance to show your stuff. The fact that it succeeded when four of you were trying to sabotage it is not the most promising of signs.

Still, one of you was above the rest and has been sent a Private Message informing him/her that they are still The Mole. The other three are now just regular contestants - consider your first week an eye into how The Mole thinks as well as a free pass into round two.

Congratulations to The Mole, and on with Challenge Two.

Oh bug... I should have sabotaged the last round more...

[Qwerty]

Ha! This game has taken a very interesting turn indeed, I eagerly await this next challange.

[Brix Bond]

Yes, something stank in that last round and it wasn't the unwanted Tommy Hilfiger I got for Christmas. So 4 thought they were the mole? I don't suppose the other 3 would like to speak up and admit to having applied to be the mole?

[PacoScaramanga]

I applied, but since I was not re-accepted I don't feel i can justify dedicating the time and lose the sleep for the game.

CHALLENGE TWO

[trs007]

Oh bug... I should have sabotaged the last round more...

Oh, really??????

[mattbowyer]

Each of you has now been sent your clue for the above crossword. There are 15 contestants, and 15 words. That part should be pretty simple but the hard part comes in fitting them all into the grid above.

If this can be done the team will receive 15,000 points. You have four days to complete the puzzle and any one of you may ask for the answer to your own question. You will be told the answer for 1,000 points, and it's position on the grid for an additional 1,000 points.

Best of luck,

mb

OK. Time to take charge.

Everyone post your word, or possbile words, or if you don't know, then your clue. Lets get to it.

[PacoScaramanga]

OK i'll admit it i'm addicted to the game........I cant give it up. I can't take it without a mole comp!

[mattbowyer]

Paco has decided to rejoin the game and thus some of you will now have different clues for this challenge. I am sending you all out new ones shortly.

Disregard the ones you received first please.

[Athena007]

ok TEAM work people. As Fraternal said... let's all work together on this one... posting our clue and what we possiblly think the answer could be etc. If it comes down to it each person can always ask Matt for their answer to their own clue.

[Fraternal]

It won't have to come down to that, I don't think. I am very good at these types of things. The only problem would be the ammount of possible answers, for example, the old clue I had, had 5 possible answer. But I shouldn't think that wopuld be too much of a problem.

[PacoScaramanga]

My Clue is Henchman

[PacoScaramanga]

Also, they're all 4-letters, lots of cruciforms, and incidentally many join at the second letter

Perhaps Paco's the mole... pulling out of the game to distract us from the fact that he's the mole. And then talking to Matt about how to play the game... hum...

[PacoScaramanga]

I think mine is probably Jaws. All of the henchmen with 4 letter names have both first and last, or a Mr. in front.

[mattbowyer]

Perhaps Paco's the mole... pulling out of the game to distract us from the fact that he's the mole. And then talking to Matt about how to play the game... hum...

why didn't I think of this...

[Fraternal]

Or it could be Wint or Kidd, it may be the last name of the henchman or henchwomen, like Bunt etc.

[Fraternal]

And my answer is an easy one. 'Bond'.

[Athena007]

my clue: Third word of Bond book title

has a few possible answers...
From Russian WITH Love
For Your EYES Only
You Only LIVE Twice
The Man FROM Barbarossa
The Man WITH the Red Tattoo

[Fraternal]

If you are counting the novelizatons, you culd also have Kill and Dies.

[Bond111]

4 letter words, eh?

Where's Bondian when we need him?

As of yet I haven't recieved a second clue, but the answer to my first one, I believe, is "Bond".

[Fraternal]

What was the clue to your first one?

[Xenobia]

Mine is Bond book title.

Period.

It's gotta be drno

The question is, where does it go?

-- Xenobia

[brendan007]

My clue -
Second part of henchman's name
i gather half of us have clues, half of us have answers, so the quicker everyone can post their bit the easier this will be

[mattbowyer]

i gather half of us have clues, half of us have answers

[Athena007]

No... we ALL have clues... we have to figure out the answers and figure out how they'll fit together in the graph.

[mattbowyer]

Many of you have very complex questions and very simple minds.

I'd listen to Fraternal and do a bit of team work.
