Well if the teams agree on who gets to 'win' the low vote count (and the losing team piles on a few extra votes), then the mole can't force a tie (which would cause both teams to lose 3 rods, meaning the moles effectively gain 3).

This little part of the challenge is effectively all players vs all moles, so long as the players agree to cooperate and not make the obvious/stubborn/stupid play of trying to win the 2 rods for themselves outright.

looks like 2 votes away. what we need to do is lock in 10, then freeze and post in the game thread "HEY OTHER TEAM WE GOT 10 AND ARE FREEZING, IF YOU END UP WITH 10 YOU WILL -3"

task 1 the mole probably had to fit in

but on this one, i would think the mole would not want us to get the 5 rods so i doubt the mole is one of the 8 people that have voted me

[/ QUOTE ]no way this works. what will they do, get 11 to give us the points? we are both going to end up with 10 unless the mole messes one of them up.

what is more important, having more rods than the other team, or having more rods absolutely? (more than the mole?)

if there was value in having more rods absolutely, then yes, they might go 11 and give us the extra
