Farewell

[Diane]

I'm actually tearing up here. I totally loved this game but for the slowness of it.

There was such an awesome group of people here and I loved so much about this game. The dynamics here meshed so well that I decided to never sign off of the game...unless my computer crashed. LOL

I am sure I played it so wrong that no one would ever suspect me of being the Mole. I guess the fact that some of them knew who I was and figured that I couldnt be the Mole 2 games in a row made it that much harder. I grappled with the idea of doing it again but didnt want the restrictions that I had in the 1st game. Too bad I didnt do it! I wouldve rocked that role this game!

Quinton you made the game very mysterious for me. I had no clue who you were or what your intentions were. Therefore I was suspicious of you always.

Pam your never being here for the challenges made me think you werent the mole so much that I then thought it was so obvious you were trying to mess it up so reverse psychology would suggest you were in fact the mole.

Olivia I never totally trusted you enough to think you were not the mole. I had fun with you vying for Ace's attention! lol

Daniel I think you totally understand this game better than anyone else here. You think like I do and I found you fascinating. I totally respected you for sticking up for yourself when people were pointing fingers at you for messing up the challenge and calling you out. That was a turning point in this game that made people really start to understand how it is played. Bravo for you!

Bain...Bain! LOL You have been one of my main suspects since the very 1st mission, along with Blayze and Bae. LOL I wont be shocked if you are the Mole since the other B's are now gone.

Jyll, my best girlfriend. You made this game super special. If you were truly giving me a glimpse of yourself with that whole onine diet thing, someday I may take you up on that offer. Looking forward to more fun when this is over!

Ace my The Mole love. LOL you made this game truly special for me and Im really going to miss Ace. Im looking forward to seeing who you are but I dont think we could ever recapture what Ace and Diane were developing, if ya know what I mean. Ace will always remain my #1 ORG love!

I can not WAIT to meet you all in the reunion.


Jeff, great group of people you assembled. If there is 1 criticism I could make it is to contact Leslie in SEG China and find out info on the Mole game she is playing. Hers is LIGHTNING fast and she complains it moves way too fast. Maybe you and that host can compare notes to find a great middle ground because I really did think this moved too slow. You lost at least 2 people for sure that I know of because of the pace...Blayze and Kai.

When you are finally reading this we are in the reunion so....................................................................................


Surprise! Did you know it would be me? LOL

I may need some input on speed cause even with games where I give 24 hours for everything, people complain about pace and time I have between challenges and stuff. I like to give at least 24 hours notice, but when I'm giving it at 11 at night, I don't want the challenge to be that late the next night, so I make it the next day. I don't want to get rid of my 24 hour notices cause I know I hate playing in games where the host doesn't give enough warning. However, comparing my pace with the pace of many other hosts I see around, my pace has actually been on par with others lately. I'm playing in a game that has a much, much slower pace than this and watching others that have slow paces as well (hosted by people who complained that this game moved too slow :.

So, if players have suggestions on how to move quicker, than I'm open for them. However, I have a life and can't be here one minute after things are due, so that's not a viable option for me. I've been thinking about instituting a rule about challenges ending early if someone has already completed it (like in a Survivor game), but then players get upset that they didn't even have a chance to attempt it.

There are many things I think of doing to speed up the pace of my games, but I always run into the problems with each of those ideas and as a host, I try to find what's most fair and will make the most people happy, cause you can't make everyone happy.

As for Kai and Blayze. Yeah, Blayze pretty much quit, but Kai still attempted the Quizzes and still played the game. I didn't lose her, she just lost.

[Diane]

It wasnt meant to hurt you Jeff it was a suggestion only from what people have been saying to me. I totally agree about the 24 hr notice and with this game that should be enough....If people cant make it to the mission, then they look "moley" so its all good anyways. lol

Maybe 24 hr notice then the mission with 24 hr to complete unless its super hard, then you post the results 24 hrs later or whenever u can do them and along with the results a 24 hr notice of when the next thing is. Like everything is a 24 hr limit.

Of course you have a life I wasnt implying that you should drop everything to do this but with a set time of when things should be done, at least everyone has an idea. Then you are free to be flexible to accomodate life.

Ya know what I mean? Jeff I would never tell you what to do, just try to help if I can.

Hey and regarding Kai, she sure did complain a lot and said she was just gonna stop....I alerted her when the quizzes were up so she would at least come back and try. And she did, and ya, she did poorly....but so did I! HA

[Daniel]

Wow! I never thought Diane also thought the same way as me.

I too also thought the game was "too slow". It was one reason (the reason?) why I did that suicide quiz in Quiz #5 (and future quizzes) and put all my answers as Jyll. Back then I wouldn't have cared if I get eliminated or not. But when I lasted until the Final 5 or 6 then I thought I was on to something! lol. (So I gotta thank Jeff for making the game a bit slow? lol)

And what I mean by "slow" is that you give us 48 hours to do the quiz/mission, but the results are posted like 24 to 48 hours after the deadline. I know you have a life but why not schedule the due date on a time where you are sure you would/can be online?

(then again I can play at work and work schedule is predictable so I might actually not play ORGs if I can't access them at work and can only go online at home, meaning I sometime get lazy going online at home LOL. Not that you are lazy.)

PS: I noticed in one of your post here that you haven't played the Mole game yet... want me to host the next season?! So that you can play!

[Jefferson Cooper]

You can feel free to host Season 3 because I won't have time for it anytime soon (it'd be at least a few months away if I did it). However, I won't have the time to play in it, either. Maybe some other time cause I know you're a great host.

[Daniel]

If I say sorry I hurt your feelings, will you change your mind?

[Bain]

I think I posted something in my confessional about the people complaining this game is too slow to check out mine (Survivor: Disneyland) that took 7 months, or PMd it to you or something, because I didn't want to give away who I was at the time.LOL

[Jyll]

It was slow...the other was too fast...

The other host had live challenges on YIM and I found that to be exilerating! I loved that about the game...just didn't like them having 4 a week!!!

I was actually planning an AIM Survivor game, but not many people showed interest. Then again, I planned for the whole game to be done in about 3 days.

That could work if, like, we don't eat and sleep, right?

[Jefferson Cooper]

Actually, it was planned to take 2-3 hours a night with several rounds happenning within a matter of those couple hours.
