Very interesting developments from quite a bit of you, and yet, it seems like I'm the only one (along with Qwerty and Q-zar) actually trying to catch SnakeEyes. I even went so far as to log in "hidden" so he wouldn't see me on the boards.

TWO of you get help from an outsider and ignore it???????????

All this has done, aside from losing points, is make the Mole quiz difficult since practically everyone is acting like the Mole.

Thats cheating. I want to play this game, not have someone from outside the game do it all for me. If i wanted to play a easy game where every move is decided for me, id go play Nightfire on playstation :) .

Three.

She also sent me a PM about his signature, but at that time I was sleeping and everything was already revealed when I got up.
And like brendan007, I call it cheating, and I want to play this game fair.
As I already said, I'm getting very annoyed at her meddling in the game like she owns the place, especially when she starts bothering me in private with it.
I say the biggest failure in this challenge has been the lack of participation by the contestants. Only a couple of us were hunting SnakeEyes, the rest seem to have vanished from the game :)

Oh dear...

Personally I find Dolce's interference quite amusing, in a game where you engineer so many surprises its nice to be in that position myself.

As much as I admire your strict adherence to the ethos of this game I am amazed none of you acted on her information. This would almost certainly come under the "no rules" banner.

Best of luck with the rest of this challenge. Currently none of the required posts have been made by SnakeEyes and he has 15:03 left to do so.

That's right.

Now you have to catch me in:

Bond 21 forums.
General discussion forums.

The word 'bond' can appear in any other forum now without being a legitamate catch.

So don't waste time catching this message :)

Exactly what do you mean by that?

I have found 2 of the posts by SnakeEyes today, he still has to make 1 more, there are only a few hours left for him to do so.

Congratulations Qwerty, it would appear you've achieved the impossible.

10,000 points to the team, bringing the tally to 26,000points. You have passed the half way point.

I'm glad I don't have to fill in a Mole Quiz this week, there is reason to suspect everyone after this challenge.

The Mole quiz will be published shortly.

This is all thanks to a PM that Fraternal sent me, he sorta reminded me that points outweighs the exemption. One that I don't need.

Still, I cost you lot 10,000 points, so I bet the mole is happy also. Well, I know they are.

What's the total now? It has to be over 25,000 surely.

Ahh it is 26,000 :)

"The second post by SnakeEyes was the tricky one."

But i'll bet you just clicked on my name and got the thing that tells you where I last clicked to get that.

For the people with a brain, the tools are all there making this challenge almost impossible for me. Fraternal seemed to think it was the other way round for some reason...

How many rounds are we aiming for here matt? Cos we're over half way to the glory of 50,000 and seem to have a long time left to make the next lot.

Can we fail?

Edit:

BTW, do I get my halo now? I want it on my results screen :)

MOLE QUIZ FOUR

This has been the biggest challenge yet and provided reason to suspect almost everybody. From telling the team to give up, to non participation, feigned attempts at assistance, wasting 'caught' posts, the wavering loyalties of SnakeEyes, red herrings, "help" from non-players and some almost inexplicably missed opportunities this challenge has provided more to chew on than any I have ever seen in this game. The Mole's work is clear but identity not.

As always, 24 hours.

Best of luck.

I haven't watched any TV show for years.

So it better be a really old bill. (old bill, hahaha etc)

Seriously: I haven't seen the bill for yonks, so no I don't remember.

Unless you're gonna devise some point grabbing corruption and also some 4 at a time eliminations.

"The British are naturally catious...maybe if another agent were, eliminated?"

Yeah i'd love to see 2 at a time go from now on.
