You are a group of Players, working together and individually to obtain the most points possible throughout a series of tests and challenges. Among you is a Mole, tasked with sabotaging the group's point-making efforts.

The game will be played in two phases.

The Challenge phase will see a different challenge (either as part of a team, or individually) that is able to earn you points throughout the day. The more points you have, the better your odds of winning the game are.

The Elimination Phase will have the players submit a list of all other players in the order of likeliness of being the Mole. The player who has the Mole the lowest in their list (and, in the result of a tie, the lowest point total from the previous day's challenge) is Executed and eliminated from the game.

The Mole, of course, will score perfect on each Elimination phase, and thus automatically make it to the Finals, regardless of whether or not his/her identity is known.

The object of the game for the Players is to survive to the Finals where, during the last Elimination Phase, they will cast a single vote for who they think the Mole is. Correctly identifying the Mole contributes a significant number of points to your score. Having the most points at this point will win you the game.

The object of the game for the Mole is to remain undetected, and deflect suspicion on to others, while simultaneously trying to sabotage challenges and prevent players and teams from earning points. The Mole earns points just as the players but may also earn points in secret for completing special tasks. At the end of the Finals voting stage, the Mole receives significant points for each player that didn't vote for him/her. Having the most points at the end of the game will win it for the Mole.

The Winner is decided after the Finals voting phase as the Player with the most points.

What you need to know to play:
-The Mole will be randed and sent a special PM prior to the start of the game.
-No major time commitment needed. Most (but not all) phases has a 24 hour cycle, fitting any time zone.
-Each challenge will have its own thread, as many will be welcome to the general public as well.
-Team challenges can be discussed with your team over PM or skype unless otherwise specified.
-Individual challenges may not be discussed outside its particular game thread.

I am looking for at least 12 players, but may take more.

Expected to take ~2 weeks. May start as early as next week.

I never watched the TV show. With no spoilers, recommend any of the seasons? should just start with s1?

Can't speak for the TV show, but season 1 of the POG game was the birthplace of LOL TEAM 2.

Sounds fun

will suck, but in

haven't watched the show ever, but I've been recommended the Dutch version of it

in to LOL TEAM TWO

Hello Friends,

As a fan of anything Anderson Cooper does, it would be an honor to participate in this game. I am in.

-O

how much time is not much? I only ask because it sounds like fun, but I'm a terrible WW participant due to job constraints, and I'm going to Vegas in June which might also distract.

Most challenges should only require you to pop in to 2+2 your regular amount, maybe a few mins or up to an hour over the course of a day or two

Then I'm in.

Never seen the show but vaguely recall it. I'm in.

In to skin the mole alive

Hello housenuts,

I recommend seasons 1 and 2. The show went downhill after Anderson Cooper left the show.

-O

Fwiw: I have exactly no idea what I'm doing. Never seen the show.
Sorry to my team mates in advance.

Will be voting you as 1.mole every vote and no Zanya to protect you this time

#neverforgetsurvivor2014

Oh yeah that was fun

I'm trying to move away from doing a generic "Quiz about the Mole" from previous years as it doesn't really work well in the forum version. As the OP states the idea now is to do a Mole Likeliness ranking which I thought worked well in theory but I now realize could be exploitable because anyone who survives the execution will know with varying levels of certainty who is not likely to be the Mole.

Anyone have any thoughts of how to tweak or change the elimination system to better fit POG?

One idea could be to allow the Mole to tamper with 1 person's list every execution.
