Each installment of The Mole involves a number of contestants. During each episode, the contestants participate in a number of challenges, each assigned a monetary value. If the contestants, as a team, complete the challenge, that emeralds is added to the final prize for the game. However, one of these contestants has been selected by production to be the Mole; his or her job is to try to prevent the other players from winning challenges without revealing himself or herself to others. The Mole may be told ahead of time of how to do this or what challenges to expect, while at other times the Mole must decide whether to intervene or not. At the end of each episode, the contestants take a quiz regarding the identity of the Mole and his or her involvement in the previous activities. The player who scores the lowest on this quiz, or was slowest to answer in case of a tie, is eliminated from the game. The winner of the game is the one that answers the most questions correctly on the final quiz given when there are only three players remaining (including the Mole), and is awarded the total amount of emeralds won over the course of the game. While success in the challenges is important in order to build up potential winnings, it is also critical to stay in the game by scoring better than opponents on the quiz, usually by attempting to draw their suspicions of the Mole's identity toward oneself. Since the Mole must use subterfuge to misdirect attention from his/her attempts to derail the team, disingenuous attempts to emulate the Mole must be subtle, while still noticeable and suspicious.

Now we will bring this to the Journey to Elysium server. TubaRiver offered to record the episodes and depending on the entrants' timezones, a time for the game will be chosen. Though the game will always take place every week on friday. Now we are looking for enthausiastic candidates (and mole) for our very own version of Who is the Mole, and will be published on the forums for community entertainment.

22 february we will announce the lucky candidates for Who is the Mole at the meeting and starts 1 march. But how can you join? Just fill in the format here: I want to sign up

When you sign up, you get eventually informed about your role, if picked. This role needs to be remained secret under any circumstance, though you may try people to convince that you are a candidate at the game (not outside the game). All the tests will be done with google docs straight after the challenges.

The final prize is not possible to tell, because it depends on how well the candidates do. Though we can say that completing challenges positively will be averaging around 200 emeralds.

We wish you lots of fun competing and/or watching it. Please take your time to fill in the format, because that is your only chance competing. For questions or comments you are free to reply.

1 question/thing: shouldn't there be a reward for the Mole for every challenge that fails? That way the Mole is encouraged to sabotage the challenges. This is like 1-5 (depends what you guys think) emeralds, iron, ...

Another question (for the people who want to watch it): On what youtube channel can we follow these series of awesomness?? Or is there going to be a thread on the forums (I guess there will be)?
