On One Condition/Confessionals

- So the seventh main match is upon us and the mole plan is about to go in to effect. Pory has put together an anti-Phoenix group (again) and I got an invitation right away. But I've also decided that this round is the round where I have to start playing for myself, and the best way I can see to do it is to work with the wizard. I'm tired of losing, and I feel like I can be a much better ally to Phoenix than Ryan.

So I'm not sure what the best way to play it right now is. Once the anti-Phoenix squad comes up with a plan, I guess I'll relay it to him and see what can think of to foil their plans. It's gonna be a rough match for me if I get caught, so I have to ride the line pretty delicately. We'll see what happens.

- Operation Devin is the mole is underway and so far it’s going great. I feel a small bit of guilt about selling Pory and the gang out to Phoenix, but I’ll get over it eventually.

Pory came up with a plan to try and freeze Phoenix out of as many points as possible, but what he doesn’t know if that I’ve relayed the entire plan, number for number, to Phoenix. With his supercomputer of a brain, Pho crunched the numbers and came up with the optimal plan to maximize our chances. The best part is that I don’t have to do anything differently from what I’m doing now, so I can continue to remain undercover and funneling all the info next round as well.

It’s a lot of fun playing the middle. I know that after this round there may be some sore people if I win and give the token of immortality to Phoenix, but with the two of us working together, who can stop us?

- Operation Devin is the mole has taken an interesting turn. Pory seems to suspect something after the second days results, and he is now convinced that Nathaniel is the mole. But he's not ... because I am.

So Pory is formulating a double bluff plan where he's going to set Nathaniel up to take the fall as the mole. Nath is currently in last place with 0 points, and if he doesn't get some points soon he's guaranteed to be the elimination candidate.

With a comfortable lead of 5 points after 6 rounds, I feel like I have a good shot at winning. I've suggested to Phoenix that having a joint win between us would probably make it a lot easier, and wouldn't expose me as the mole as much as giving him the token of life as the sole winner (which is the current plan). The possible blowback of being the mole is great, so I would like to avoid it if at all possible. But with Nath's mole status about to be ""exposed"" there's no way he's not going to deny it and start pointing fingers. I'm walking a very delicate tight rope right now and it could come crashing down at any second.

That being said, I am having a lot of fun. Being a mole is dangerous, but this is what the Genius is all about! Ugly victories! Glorious defeats!

- So Pory is making my job as the mole a lot harder. Now I have to keep track of the fake plan for Nath, the second devious plan by Pory, and my plan with Phoenix. The math is gonna get screwy and there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it except try like mad to keep track of where all the numbers are.
