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"

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought about that. I guess if we beat them to it and declare this dogmatically in the game thread it should work.

But if they're smart they won't stand for it and will declare that they ALSO are doing 10 unless we cooperate in some way. We could just call their bluff and see if they stay on 10 to spite us, or try to work something out.

It also might be the case that nich won't be revealing the winner of this little race until the deadline (so we won't get to know who won and then negotiate the rest).

All in favor of making the post like AJ suggested?

in all likelihood it's not worth the effort, but whatever

Key question: We are in direct competition with the other team, right? The only thing that matters is relative points compared to the other team, not absolute points, correct?

we want to beat the other team and at the same time beat our own mole.

You have to have more points than the other team, your mole, and the other team's mole.

Nich never posted an official scoring system, and I'm still unclear on how often these mole quizzes will come. But, as I understand it, everyone on a given team will ALWAYS have the same number of points. The only way to beat them is to be victorious in the mole quizzes.

right which is why the theory of faking mole works

i mean its not like we can vote off the mole right. and we want people on our team to think we are the mole so they score worse on the quiz then we did
