I must admit, this song challenge is pissing me off. >< The whole thing has been a disaster. I have no idea how it came to be like this, but it has nothing to do with me. I suggested a techno song to make it simple for everybody but somehow the song got kidnapped and we've come up with these insanely complicated lyrics in a 4 minute song. Don't think I don't have my eye on those people. I only wished I had saved that giant chat (it was on AIM b/c gaim wasn't working so it wasn't logged) so I could check back whose idea this trainwreck was.


Techno: simple, repetitive, loop that sounds good. Honestly, is it that hard to make a techno beat? It's a lot easier than creating the tune to "I Will Survive" instrument-by-instrument via online postings of music. Come on! Who the hell's idea was that?


I know there is a deadline that must be met (thanks Andy for lecturing us on that fact every three minutes), but if only we worked from the start of the challenge with that chat on Monday like I wanted we would have a passable piece of music by now. Creating a piece of crap like this is bound to end up as is just disgraceful. Seriously, this is the last time I ask for advice and not just push my way through.


There was just no way I was going to attempt to "sing" Gloria Gaynor to this monstrosity of music. No way, no how. I've explained my reasons on the board, in private conversations, and even in public chat. I don't give a fuck if that means you think I'm the Mole (in fact, that's probably a good thing!). I have more than four quarters within arms reach I'm not using that I'll feel free to send to the winner if we fail this.


Still trying to salvage this mess, I downloaded like five text-to-voice programs and fed the song through them. After an hour of hassle I managed to figure out how to convert it to a .wave file and upload it onto the Internet (that in itself took a half hour). Now I've been on GAIM for two hours looking for somebody, anybody to get online so we can get everything together and make sure it works. Nobody in sight.


Maybe I'm just being bitchy. But with two moles (decoy might as well be a freaking second mole) they're really fucking this up. The only positive I see is that I am forced NOT to select my top mole candidate and only answer them - they could be the decoy. So at least the format of this prevents me from being overconfident and making me lose. Thanks for the help Travis. :-)

My entry for a logo may hit you like a hurricane of symbolism so it might take a little bit to pick your self up and appreciate how deep it is. =)

Also, it works well as an advertisement because it gets your attention and is quite simple. Plus it gets the message across.

I'm beginning to become better friends with some people. I'm glad, because while I do like to focus on the game we're playing (admittedly, the main reason we are talking to each other), it doesn't hurt to have friendly conversations and just relax.

Relaxing is good. The paranoia has risen exponetially lately. More challenges, more sabotages, more chit chat about the game. This nominations thing is really starting to get to me... it brings a whole level of fear into the game. I do not want to be nominated, obviously. The options are dwindling down though... eight people. two exempt. one mole.

That's THREE out of FIVE people nominated. Well, Mr. Mole could be nominated but somehow I doubt that'd be any skin off his back. Shit. I'm scared of going home so early. It'd be like my worst nightmare two nights in a row. There's no way I'm letting myself go out first after the inactives this time. Don't want to sound desperate there, but I'm willing to pretty much do whatever it takes. I didn't wait another freaking year to be given another golden opportunity to play this awesome game just to fuck it all up again.

I'm coming to get you Mole. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Frankly, Bartley and Ty do not deserve the effort of even typing this sentence to "remember" their execution. Good riddance, deadbeats.

part the second

First challenge results posted. We did alright... got about half the money. It's not good enough though. =/ I blame myself for some of it... though I did try my hardest on everything. Nobody would give me advice for sutra. =( Could it be possible MOLE ACTIVITY in the works?!?! Or maybe my pathetically low score was MOLISH BEHAVIOUR?!? Could this all be a MOLEY DISTRACTION to lead your investigations away from MOLETASTIC CONCLUSIONS?!?

You decide.

Anyway, things are fun and I've gotten to talk to a few people. I haven't gotten to know too many people yet but I hope that'll change... assuming I don't get executed. ><


As for nominations... I'll say it right out there: I think we should nominate Bartley and/or Ty. They're rubbish for the game. Either one of them I doubt will turn in a quiz since they've been MIA. So I think everyone will be safe (although, dear mole, that is not an invitation to nominate me regardless ^^).


There I go talking to myself again. =) I'll add more as it happens. Later!


PS: Holy shootcakes I can't believe I missed the word MOLEICIOUS (sp?). Kim Coles ftw!

Sup all! Again, welcome to Sam's wonderful world of ugly omc blogs. Maybe I'll fix it the look and templates and stuff later. I'm so excited about the other parts of the game (to-sutra rocks!) I'm definitely having a blast right now. So far, I've only talked to a few people but it looks like the majority of people are pretty cool. The only exceptions would be Bartley and maybe Ty... the game started four days ago and I haven't seen them online. He should know better, knowing how awesome Travis' games are and how annoying inactive players can be. Everyone else has put so much into the game already, and these people who committed through all the pre-game stuff aren't even committing themselves to the game. =(


Maybe they both won a surprise cruise across the Pacific Ocean or something and will be back next month. -_-


Other than that, I'm just getting to know people and starting my detective work. ^_~ Last time I got executed in like 9th, 8th, or 7th place... I don't really remember which exactly it was so bad I've blocked that memory from my subconscious. =) Expect another equally stunning performance this time around. ^^


For now, I've got to try again with to-sutra and see how high a score I can get. And talk to some more peoples on YIM. Keep logging on whenever you can peoples! Each and every time you log on = hard cash monies. Well, for one of us anyway. =) All for one, one for all!
