Day 1
OCTOBER 21st, 2019. 8:00 AM
CHALLENGE #1 - Chesapeake Jump
"Hello everybody! My name's Nick, and I'll be your host throughout the game. As you can see, there are 16 of you here. Take a good look around you, because one of you is the Mole. They will secretly be working for me to sabotage the challenges, and prevent you from gaining more money. At the end of two challenges, you will each take a quiz about the Mole. The lowest scorer will be eliminated from the game, If there's a tie, the tied player with the slowest time will be eliminated. Now, that you all know the basic rules, I'm curious as to who you think the Mole currently is, based on first impressions. Behind me, are 16 pens, and pieces of paper. I want you to write a name down, fold the paper into fourths, and then hand the paper to me when you're done."
My name's Phoenix, and I'm going to win the Mole. As I lawyer, I bluff all the time. I can use that to throw suspicion onto myself. - Phoenix
My name's Simon, I think I can win the Mole just based on my dark exterior. Everyone will stick to the same cliche of what the Mole's supposed to be, and I can use that to my advantage. - Simon
My name's Fredrick, and I'm a police officer for the state of Washington. I can read people easily, so I can tell if someone's lying. I got this in the bag. - Fredrick
My name's Oboro, and you might know me from being the first victim on Whodunnit. I never really got a chance to play, so now's my chance. - Oboro
My name's Kagero, and I'm a surgeon at the Medical Center in Aurora. My best friend is Saizo Tomizu, the runner up of Whodunnit. He was so close to winning, so I hope I'll be able to bring home the money that he deserved. - Kagero
After a minute of writing, the players handed in their papers.
"I've calculated the results. Apollo, Charlotte, Lucina, Phoenix, Simon, Trucy, and Vaike, you guys received one vote. Athena, you have two votes. Ike, you have three votes. The most suspected player, with four votes is…...Larry."
"ME?"
"Yes. Since you were the most suspected, I need you to come with me."
I voted Larry, because I went to school with him. He would always cause trouble, so I figured he could use his troublemaking skills to sabotage. - Miles
I decided to cast my vote for Larry. He seems nice, but he also looks a bit shady. - Ike
"So, how does it feel knowing you're the top suspect?"
"I'm not thrilled, but I'll give me some time to figure out who the Mole is."
"Well, I happen to have a special assignment just for you."
"Really? This early?"
"Yep."
I'm excited to take part in this secret mission. I hope I can get an exemption. - Larry
"I hope you're all ready for your first challenge. This challenge is called: Chesapeake Jump." One by one you're all going to jump off the bridge, and attempt to land in the 4x4 target down below."
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
"However, Larry will not be jumping. Instead, he will choose the order that you jump in. For every person that lands successfully, I will add $1,000 to the pot. Before you make your first pick Larry, there is one more rule. Once a player has landed in a square, no one else can land in it. Does everyone understand?"
"Yes!"
"OK. Larry, who's going first?"
"I want Apollo to go first."
I was relieved knowing that I would be the one going first. I had a whole grid to work with, and I just wanted to get it over with. - Apollo
He jumped, and landed in square two.
"YES APOLLO!" they players cheered
"Once you've jumped, swim your way to the boat with the Mole thumbprint!"
At least the production's giving us something, so we don't have to stay in the water. - Fredrick
"Who's next?"
"Next up is Athena."
I'm ready to show the Mole what I've got. I've faced so much in my life, a simple jump is nothing. - Athena
She jumped, and landed in square eleven.
"Charlotte, can you go next?"
Larry just said that in weird, romantic way. I don't know if he's trying to flirt with me, or trying to throw me off. - Charlotte
The players cheered as they saw her hand in square four.
"Fredrick."
"Yes sir."
He immediately jumped, and barely hit square one.
Fredrick didn't even look where he was jumping. That's kind of weird. - Vaike
"Ike."
I noticed he was calling out our names in alphabetical order. He had millions of ways to ordering us, and he does THAT? - Lucina
"CANNONBALL!" he yelled while landing in square ten
"Kagero."
The players watched her land in square seven.
"Lucina."
The players watched her jump, and they thought she was going to land outside the target. Luckily, she managed to make most of her body go into square nine.
She almost missed an easy jump. That's a red flag for me, but luckily she ended up making it. - Oboro
"Maya."
Everything's going smooth, then it's my turn to jump.
She is seen barely missing square sixteen.
And I completely blew it. Now, everyone's going to suspect me. That's not what I wanted to happen! - Maya
Maya, or anyone else that fails today, is off my radar. There's no way the Mole would sabotage this early. - Trucy
"Miciah."
If I want to survive, I need to throw suspicion onto myself. I followed what Maya did, but with a different square. - Miciah
"NOOOOOO!" she screamed after she barely missed square thirteen
Miciah did the same thing I did, just at another square. That's a little fishy. - Maya
"Miles."
"Alright, I'm going for fourteen."
"Don't run and jump like I did." Ike warned "Or else, you'll land in ten."
"OK!"
Miles, followed his advice, but barely missed fourteen. Instead, he landed at the edge of ten.
I thought I had it at right angle. I guess I was off a little bit. - Miles
He didn't run, but he still landed in ten? That's a little strange. - Ike
"Oboro."
"I'm ready."
The players watched her land in square three.
"Phoenix."
I'm doing the twelve, fifteen, sixteen area."
"Move a little over to the right." Athena explained "You'll land in eleven if you make the jump like that."
"Like this?"
"Yeah. Now, you're good."
If Athena's wrong about this, she'll easily be my main suspect. - Phoenix
Athena ended up being right when he landed in square twelve.
"Simon."
My strategy is to be completely Mole-ish during the challenges. I'll look like the prime suspect, and they'll get executed. - Simon
Simon aimed at thirteen, but ran too far, and ended up hitting square nine.
"What was that?" Ike asked
"What was what?" Simon asked back
"You purposely ran up to make sure you hit nine."
"That's not true. I was going for thirteen."
"OK. Let's go with that."
Simon's starting to tick me off already. He purposely lost us $1,000 on an easy jump. I know others also lost us money with their jumps, but he made it way too obvious. - Ike
For now, Simon's off my radar. I know he can throw people off with his psychology background, so he'll want to make himself look like the Mole. - Athena
"Trucy."
"She jumped, and landed in square six."
Why did Trucy land in six? The bottom row is still in play. - Miciah
I wanted to attempt to make one of the harder jumps. I figured people would suspect me as a challenge thrower. - Trucy
"I guess I'm up." Vaike sighed
"Just so you know Vaike, the pot will stand at $11,000 if you make it."
"I'm not sure if I can make it."
"Don't worry." Larry encouraged. "You'll be fine."
Vaike took a steady breath, and jumped. The players thought he would make it, but he landed in square eleven.
"With that, the pot stands at $10,000. But, the challenge isn't over yet. Larry, you have a chance to go double or nothing. If you land in square 5, 13, 14, 15, or 16, you'll double the ten thousand to make it twenty. If you miss, you lose all the money you've won. Would you like to take the chance?"
"No." he said without hesitation
"OK. Let's raise the offer. Triple or nothing."
"Don't do it Larry!" Phoenix yelled
"We can't afford to lose it all." Miles added in
"Why not?" Miciah disputed "It's $30,000."
"And, the bottom row will be an easy target." Simon pointed out
"If none of us made it in the bottom, what makes you think he'll be able to?" Ike questioned
"Because he seen us all jump, he knows what not to do." Athena counted
"How do you know that?" Charlotte asked
"It's simple psychology. Once someone sees another person making a mistake, they know not to do it."
"Well, you're wrong in some cases." Fredrick testified "I've dealt with criminals, and gangs, all my life. If a gang member is put in jail, that only increases the gangs violence rate-"
"But he's not in a gang though." Trucy interjected
"Can we just focus on making a decision?" Kagero groaned
"How can we do that? We're pretty much divided." Apollo noted
"Larry has the final call, I say we just let him make the final call, and we respect it." Vaike suggested
"Which is what we could have done in the first place." Ike pointed out "But Simon started all this."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're creating chaos, cause you're the Mole."
Wow. An accusation was thrown out already. I didn't think we'd have tension this early. - Charlotte
I'm relieved to know my plan is working Ike's going down. - Simon
Anyone who makes fun of my friends is going to pay. I don't care if they're the Mole, or not. - Athena
"OK. I'm raising the pot one more time. Triple, and an exemption, or nothing."
"DEAL!"
Larry sure turned his thinking around when the exemption was offered. That just shows I can't trust him. - Lucina
I can't blame him for accepting the offer. If it was me, I would've done the same thing. - Vaike
"Larry! Go for the bottom row!"
"Don't jump too far!"
"But don't go too short either!"
"Thanks for the advice guys. OK, let's do this."
The players watched him take his jump, and sighed as he barely miss number fourteen.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
"COME ON!"
"GOOD JOB LARRY!"
Everyone's all upset at me now, and I also don't get an exemption. This day can't get any worse. - Larry
I tried to tell him not to do it, but he didn't listen like always. - Miles
"Sadly, you guys earned no money for this task. Was this bad luck, miscommunication, or the work of the Mole? That's up to you to decide."
I seen a few suspicious things, but I don't think any of it is from the Mole. - Kagero
For now, I think the Mole wants to seem like a team player. They might do a subtle sabotage, but that's it. - Apollo
