previously on The Mole

The players' loyalty to the team was tested as the lure of exemptions prevented them from earning maximum points. After some tough negotiations Jermaink, Brix Bond and JamaineTrevett emerged with the first exemptions of the game. After three challenges the team stands on 11,000 points.

In the end Baron Samendi would regret his team's inability to recruit a defector within the time allowed, and was eliminated.

11 constestants remain. One of them is The Mole.

CHALLENGE 004

This week Pictionary meets Chinese Whispers and you will be divided into three groups as follows :

A.
Qwerty
Jermaink
JamaineTrevett
SnakeEyes

B.
Athena007
Brix Bond
Moonraker

C.
Grantbowler
Astros
Bond111
Johnboy007

Each group will be sent an object from within the James Bond universe. They will then have to figure out a way to draw it (preferably in mspaint or other simple program) as simply as possible and do so.

Once this is done the group will need to make a list of instructions on how to draw the object without actually saying what the object is. The instructions should comprise of how to draw the object from simple geometric shapes. Anything more specific may be deemed unacceptable.

The instructions will be sent to me and passed on to the next group (A to B..B to C..C to A) who will need to draw the object from the previous groups instructions. Once finished the drawing may be posted in this thread for the final group to decipher.

If that final group can decipher what object the drawing depicts the team will receive 5,000 points making a maximum of 15,000 points possible this round.

I have included a diagram in the FAQ thread of how this will work for team B as an example if you are at all confused.


A final offer and warning to prevent cheating. If any player can produce evidence of cheating by any group then the chain involved will be cancelled and a potential 5,000 points lost. The said player will receive an exemption from this challenge.

You have four days.

Best of luck,

[Qwerty]

Drawing...

[SnakeEyes]

So we must describe well enough to draw, draw well enough to understand and understand well enough to earn points.

Once again a totaly possible challenge

[mattbowyer]

This challenge comes courtesy of the Australian series of The Mole.

They got 10,000. I think you'll get 5,000.

[Athena007]

Drawing! Purrrrfect I'm good at this!

[Qwerty]

Drawing! Purrrrfect I'm good at this!

The trick is getting everyone else to understand it.

I believe this was on the US Mole too.

[SnakeEyes]

So, lets get together as our mini teams and start some describing.

[Qwerty]

Looks like we're up first. Who'll be drawing the actual object on their computer?

Still need Jermain and Jamaine to check this out also.

[mattbowyer]

Looks like we're up first.

Qwerty EACH group has an object, you're all doing this in unison.

[Qwerty]

Yes indeed, I just meant, A goes to B, etc..

[mattbowyer]

Status : no instructions yet received.

[SnakeEyes]

I'm not even sure half these people understand the challenge...

[Athena007]

No communication on my team yet... at leas it hasn't gotten to me. Just a heads up to my team, you'll have to PM me for this challenge, I have a busy week... but I'll help out where I can.

[Qwerty]

Does everyone understand this?

[Athena007]

I do!

• Have someone on your team DRAW your item
• Share this picture with your team
• Together write instructions on how to draw the item
  [aka: (1) draw a rectangle (2) draw a star in the middle of the rectangle]
• Send the instructions to Matt

[Qwerty]

Most of the people I know seem to get it too, as well as I. But not one sent in yet?

[Astros]

Team C is practically finished.

[Qwerty]

Got word from the others, think this is going okay. Need some updates from Matt.

[Athena007]

Brix Bond, Moonraker... have we gotten anywhere?

[mattbowyer]

Groups A. and C. have submitted instructions, which will now be passed on to groups B. and A. respectively.

[Qwerty]

Aww, come on B.

[jermaink]

Who submitted team A's??

[SnakeEyes]

Less than amazing team work here.

I suspect qwerty, or jamaine.

It wasn't me!

[EDIT] - I just drew team C's object. Unless it's the visual representation of WTF, I think i'm out of ideas

[Qwerty]

Jamaine looks like.

[jermaink]

I'm at a loss with team C's instructions as well.

And whoever sent in team A's instructions, send them to me.

I just spent some time on writing instructions for nothing

[Qwerty]

Still though, we then need Team B.

[mattbowyer]

[Athena007]

I have the feeling I'm going to have to do everything for team B... and I don't have time.

[SnakeEyes]

Maybe the rest of team B have some disruptive intentions of their own?

Some interesting PMs are apparently circulating.
