Emailed to Travis
First of all, thank you so much for hosting this game. I hope it continues to be good as this last episode was (me leaving this episode just made it tons better :-p).
I think I did a pretty good job despite being executed today. I thought it was a good run and I made it this far! I outlasted some of the more active players and I was able to contribute to my own pot and to the team's pot as well. I think I should have fooled a few people early on too. I don't have many regrets.
I really don't have a strong clue on who the mole is now (and Brian should be laughing on every private confessional I wrote!). If I were to take a wild guess, it could be Blaise, but a lot of them have me fooled for a pretty long time!
Oh well, everything will be revealed in due time and I should be there for the finale (just throw me an email!). Thanks and good luck finishing this awesome game.

Confessional Five
MOST AMAZING EPISODE EVAH!
Yes it was. After the worst series of games last episode, Travis bites us in the ass (who says biting can't be a metaphor for something good!). We take 4 dollars into the pot, and five of us get two molebucks for the bonus Mafia challenge! How cool is that! Granted, there were some players who really tried to mess us up in the Humpty Dumpty challenge, but it was all good since Blaise did a good job at trying to figure out everything!
And since we are all happy and will most probably be not bitching this episode, I will leave you all with a quick but useful web tip, this time for making those weird pop ups and ads to go away!
- 1. Download Firefox. If you don't have it, you should be missing like, one-half of your life! Seriously! If you have Firefox 2, you should know that the you should click the link to get Firefox 3! It's the same coolness with less memory leaks!
- 2. Install Adblock Plus! Not only it automatically blocks bad ads, you can actually block images/flash stuff manually that you do not like too much!
- 3. Restart Firefox when you are prompted to do so!

Confessional Five - Moley Mitch... NOT
This is really a shocker. Like, I was so sure Mitch was the mole. He probably thought like he really knew who the mole was but he was so wrong I guess! I won't be missing Mitch as a player. I mean, like he really messed this whole thing up a couple of times just to look like the mole! He was just a bad player! I don't think of him as careless or something. I think it was more like he couldn't get his scheduling straight! Like his confessionals are always there, but they are always a few hours late! Or maybe, his oversubscription to porn and spam got to him eventually and he just decided to quit! Those penis enlargement ads and inheritance claims should have filled his inbox and drove him nuts! Still, I like him as a person. He was really fun to talk to! But with a pot like this, I guess we can do away with having a fun person to talk to rather than having him just mess up and take money from the pot! And his penalties probably saved me from another execution!
Speaking of execution, I'm like down to three (four if THAT person starts acting weird again!) suspects right now and I think that I should be getting somewhere with the way people are acting during challenges. I probably need an exemption... badly.
Also, I have to mention! I really hated Elise early game for being Beth-like and Fifteen-like with boring confessionals and I have to admit I was wrong. Way to go girl! Make them pay! Let's show them girl power the next mission! <3

I Want An Exemption
Anybody wondering why there aren't any exemptions offered lately? Am I like being naive for thinking that there will be more of them in this game? I thought like, there are going to be less exemptions but like we only had one pair of exemptions in the last three weeks and like only a few of us actually got the chance to compete for the exemptions. I mean, if we had an exemption challenge, wouldn't that makes things more exciting! Not only that, getting one might actually help me in this game! Especially if I have like three or maybe five suspects running around trying to look moley! I hope the next challenge will help me in figuring out who it really is.
Exemption, give Ginger a warm hug!

Confessional Four
This is totally fabulous! I'm still like totally shocked that I'm still here. I thought I really messed up that quiz! I have like, four suspects and I had to like spread my answers as much as I can again and I guess I'm just lucky that Kyle got those penalties. I don't really care that much... the important thing is that I'm still here! And, I'm halfway though this game! Kyle was as sneaky as he can be the entire game and it is a shock to see him get executed! I was kinda sure he was the mole after surviving a -2 on the quiz! And now, he could have saved me from execution!
On that note, it's like everybody want to look like the mole! Like, I'm not going to post some fake confessional that says I'm the mole! I mean, it's ridiculous. Would the mole really make a fake confessional with fake mole clues or a fake claim of what she thinks as the mole? I just find it a total waste of time and space! I'd rather post something useful and entertaining! As for me, I'd rather not do that! I find it insulting to the mole! If I was the mole, I'd be REALLY angry. Like, somebody wants to do take credit for all the crap I'm doing? That's like... violating my personal space!
I actually like, have an idea! Since we are actually low on the pot, why don't we all try to be nice for a change and be actually honest for one episode! I mean, then the mole would be like the only one lying and sabotaging. Then, we'd all know who the mole is! If we know who the mole is, then we can keep him from doing all the crap he was supposed to do, and we actually get to play for a bigger pot! Doesn't everybody want that? Paul on that idea got it right:
"We haven't got to the betrayal or lying challenges yet where we could lose all money gained in one swift blow by someone. They are when we shout and yell, not yet. We need this pot to be as large as possible now so that when they come, we have something to be proud of."
Oh I forgot to say something nice about Beth:
You were a total waste of space and I find that you didn't deserve to be here. Your confessionals sucked and was a more boring read than the Yellow Pages... in Chinese. You never added anything to the pot and you never gave us anything exciting to talk about. With your existence, I feel sorry for the likes of Brandon, Cheri and Richard who were 101% into the game and 1000% more into the game than you were. You were a waste of space for this fabulous and well prepared game. Share a bed with Fifteen. I'm not going to be a hypocrite -- I'm SO glad you are gone.
Bye Beth!

Moley Mitch
Yes. Perfect proof why I think Kyle is glib about his analysis of discarding Mitch as the mole (which makes him as moley as Mitch is! Trying to distract everybody on who he really is!). Check out the following screenshot:
What happened:
Elise and Mitch are both runners. All the others have posted for the second round of running except Elise and Mitch.
I saw Elise and Mitch online at the same time.
Elise posts the fourth RUN. Mitch apparently just wonders around the board, not bothering to post his fifth RUN for me to post the third hack. In this screenie, notice that Mitch was logged out AFTER Elise posted (then logged out after) the fourth run, meaning he had time to actually post the RUN, but of course, being the sneaky mole that he is, he chose not to. (Check out the Active Users in the Past 24 Hours part of the screenie.)
Why am I doing this?
First, because I want my pot to go up. I don't want the stupid mole to be doing stupid things trying to mess this whole thing up. I want to pressure the mole into actually contributing to the pot. After all, the mole wants to do everything sneakily and if people guess him on the quiz, or his pot would be reduced to nothing! I think the mole also doesn't want to be detected this early and with this kind of 'inquisition' I'm sure the mole would actually try to behave for a couple more episodes! I encourage the others to do the same! <3

Confessional Three - The Dead and Departed
Ok, I'm going to be a little serious for the first time in one of my confessional thingies so please be patient if thing's aren't as exciting as they are!
Ready...
Set...
and go...!
To Breaux: I'm sorry about your Grandfather, who passed away September 4, 2008. I'm sure that he was a good man of honor and integrity and was a person you really looked up to. You have grown to be a fine, intelligent, hot and sexy young man and I'm sure he is proud of you. I pray that he be guiding you as you go through this journey.
To Kyle: I'm sorry about Alexis. I know it has been a tough decision for your girlfriend and you are saddened by the loss of an important part of your life. I'm sure he has gone to a better place and you will regain your composure to stop yourself from putting up obviously false analysis of who the mole is in your blog for this game.
To Richard: You were a fine competitor. You really tried to help us a lot in the One Hit Bloggers Mission and we all appreciate the effort you have put into it, and the whole game. We will miss you.
To Brandon: You were another one of my favorite people in the game. I thank you for giving it your all (your blog was the best among the rest! Edit: The new executed layout is HOT!) and trying your hardest in every mission we had. I'm sure you will be successful in other parts of your life.
Now let's us stop for a few moments of silence for the dead and departed...
...
...
wait for it...
MOLERIFFIC!

Confessional Two - Sixty Effing Cents
Ok, so Mission 2.1 blew over our faces. So much for clicking "Next Blog" endlessly... I really liked the challenge and I thought it was pretty much doable. I know I screwed up a few times but I didn't think that it was THAT easy to sabotage the whole thing...! I mean, one mistake?! C'mon... I thought Travis was going to be nicer than that! I don't think that we were judged fair in that mission. I think that eventhough Mitch screwed up, we should take into account all the other valid posts and if those good posts somehow count up to 100, then we should get our three dollars!
Kyle is the sexiest Mole alive.
Anyway, some of you are wondering how I made that floating thumbprint! Kinda neat, eh? Well it's pretty easy! By using the magical powers of CSS, we will make your blog prettier! If you want to add a blog wallpaper and you do not want it following you around as you scroll, then follow these steps!
- 1. Upload your image to Imageshack. Take note of the URL of the wallpaper. (If you have a direct link to your wallpaper, then that can work fine too!)
- 2. Go to your Blogger Dashboard.
- 3. Click the Layout link.
- 4. Click the Edit HTML tab.
- 5. [EXTRA STEP] For safety purposes, backup your current template. To do this, click the Download Full Template link. Save the XML file in a safe place.
- 6. Find the following text in the Edit Template section. Press CTRL+F to make your life easier! (Don't worry if it is not exactly like this, just find something similar in that huge chunk of text!)
body {
background-color: $bgcolor;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font: $bodyfont;
color: $textcolor;
} - 7. Once you find that chunk of text, replace it with these:
body {
background-color: $bgcolor;
background-image: url(http://URLTOTHEWALLPEPER.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font: $bodyfont;
color: $textcolor;
} - 8. Click the pretty orange Save Template Button to see the effects!
- 9. [EXTRA STEP] Don't forget, if you screw up at any time, you have a backup of your old template!
Don't forget to change the http://URLTOTHEWALLPAPER.jpg to the URL that you took note of in Step 1!
Mission 2.3 - Comic Remix
My webcomic was inspired by Rich Burlew's Dungeons and Dragons parody called Order of the Stick.
I really want to win this challenge! I was so sure that nothing was going into the pot so I had to make sure something goes into MY pot. So I gave it my all!
The comic shows me, Jill, Elise, Brian, Kyle, Richard and Mitch played by OOTS characters.
Summary: Elise wants to KILL Jill and Ginger because they 'mistakenly' sabotaged her entry for the Best Pastry Mission. Ginger and Jill then seek Brian for help.
Travis says:
1st: Player 05: $3 -- Maybe this is how I should do the episode recaps from now on.
Again thank you so much! I hope everybody enjoyed my comic!

Confessional Two
I can't believe I'm still here. I really can't. I really thought the penalty would get me executed but apparently it didn't! Now I'm ready to show what I'm really made of!
I'm just sad that Ellery and Cheri went (I mean, who cares about Player 15 right? Losers like that shouldn't even exist, but unfortunately, like old horny men, they show up in places they shouldn't). I really liked Cheri. She was one of the more active people in the game and definitely she didn't deserve to go. Her early AIM problems made her one of the more famous people in the game, and despite this, she was still able to finish her report and chat with many of the players. Ellery is a different case... Ironically, he offered me a coalition before he got executed:
Hi Ginger,
If I happen to survive the quiz, I would like to offer you an alliance to work together throughout this game...if your interested. Get back to me when you have time.
Ellery
*sigh*
In older news:
"FIRST PLACE: ($3)
Player 05: From afar this looks like the home page to a porn site, but up close it's got some great attention to detail and a unique color scheme. Very nice work"
OK. I know I have done work like that with my clients before... but seriously that was not the intention of my design! I thought my whole layout was both beautiful, and functional unlike some other blogs I know... Still, I thank Travis for the compliment. The same goes to all the others who have congratulated me. Luv y'all!

Confessional One - Screwed Up
This will be quick: I'm going 'ta-ta' in this game earlier than I thought! I totally missed today's challenge I was so busy with the blog that I forgot to mark it on my calendar! How irresponsible and stupid! I'm like, totally screwed for the first execution. I think three of the four who didn't attend will be executed. So it's either Me, Beth, Kyle and Player15. Player15 and Beth are quite inactives which mean Kyle and I would be fighting over the last spot. If Kyle is the Mole, I'm screwed.
So much for that $3 I just won. :(
And Brain revealed something today:
Brian: i didnt even kno u didnt need an ipod 2 pla mp3s so im no tech person, lol
