| 1. What has your impression been of the game thus far? How has it matched the expectations you had coming into it? |
| |
|
Quite good. I didn't expect much coming into the game, but what I expected was that there would be more group interaction. It feels as though some people are the main characters in the game and have taken control of the group, but that can be accounted to some logical reasons. Anyway, I'm worried about my lack of contact with the group. I'm not really aware of the group dynamics and the attitudes of the other contestants. I also don't really know much about the game because by the time I get back online, the game was over and I couldn't access the challenge board. I do feel quite frustrated about that, but I guess I'll have to deal with things that prop up. |

| 2. Do you have any early leads as to the identity of the cybermole? Do you think anyone has been bluffing to throw people off? |
| |
|
I pretty much don't even have a clue. At this point, I don't know much about anyone yet, and I suspect everyone, so I don't know. People have been participating rather well and haven't done anything to draw attention to themselves. Maybe they're trying to hide under the radar. |
| |
| 3. What has been your strategy thus far in the game? How well do you think it has worked? |
| |
|
I've just been myself, and haven't been doing really much. I haven't been able to follow my initial strategies of chatting with other contestants to get to know them better and hopefully make an alliance with someone I already know a little about. However, I feel very estranged from the rest of the group and I don't think things are quite good. If this is kept up, I probably won't make it far into the game. |
| |
| 4. What did you think about the seating challenge? Did it surprise you that the first challenge of the game appeared to be difficult for the team to solve? |
| |
|
I thought that it was quite hard, but it shouldn't have been. The rules were strict, but could have been worked around by people giving more clues about their own numbers. Most of us didn't really give much information, including me, maybe because like me, they were afraid of breaking the rules and causing the team to lose the challenge. Anyway, I didn't think that it was all too surprising though, perhaps we didn't know how things worked and didn't want to do anything too rash. Or even that it was rigged as Jeff said for all I know. But no one knows who may be lying, so I guess that was much harder than the second challenge. |
| |
| 5. How do you feel about your interaction with agency administration? Have they made things easier or harder for you? |
| |
|
Things are going quite well with that aspect of the game. |
| |
| 6. Have you done anything suspicious to make people think that you might be the cybermole? Do you think that you have better chances of going onto the next episode because of your actions? |
| |
|
I might have just done so by not posting enough. It may not lead people to think that I'm suspicious because it could be attributed to the different time zone, but you can never tell. Hopefully that helps me in going on to the next episode by causing people to be rather suspicious of me… |
| |
| 7. How do you feel about the way the team has worked together in the first episode? |
| |
|
As I said earlier in the interview, there have been a few people who have featured quite prominently in the game so far. The interactions among the contestants haven't been going all too well, at least for me. Not everyone had much to say about the challenge and some members had to carry the burden of trying to solve the challenge. The first challenge was more of a group puzzle than the second one, but in the second one, it was a free-for-all. I can't really read much into the lack of group interaction. |
| |
| 8. Which player has been the most valuable to your success as a team in the first two challenges? |
| |
|
I think Michael has been the most valuable because he gave the answers for quite a few of the puzzles. He also tried hard to solve the challenges as far as I could tell, even though he didn't solve the first challenge, he contributed quite a lot. |
| |
| 9. How confident do you feel about the first X-Quiz? Do you think you can do well enough to survive the first execution? Who do you think will be the first to go? |
| |
|
I'm not known for my confidence, but I might survive for all I know, however I feel like I might be the first to leave simply because I don't have an idea about the identity of the cybermole. |
