9.14-A date with the aliens




Hossan: “Forever young. I’m glad to be a ghost! It’s darn fun!”


Vlad: “Vampires can’t be vegetarians. Well, they could, but it’ll be hard because you’d can’t drink from people.”
Chris: “Are you vegetarian?”
Vlad: “No, unfortunately. I do wish I was human though.”
Chris: “Humans have their own troubles.”


Chris: “Let’s switch topics. What do you see in Noira anyway? Her mannequin figure?”
Vlad: “I’m not that superficial.”
Hossan: “Sure you are, you bimbo.”
Vlad: “Better than you. I don’t toy with her feelings.”
Hossan: “Ha! Like real.”



Vlad: “I like her more than that. Right now, she’s probably at the door meditating and thinking about me.”


“Time to take the quiz.”
Vlad: “I hate to say this, but may the best guy win.”
Hossan: “This occult’s got it in the bag, so step aside and let me win!”


***



Q1: What kind of occult is the Mole?
A: Human
B: Ghost
C: Vampire

Q2: What skin colour is the Mole?
A: Beige
B: Purple
C: White

Q3: Which room does the Mole sleep in?
A: “Pure” White
B: Faint Blue
C: Colour

Q4: Does the Mole wear a hat?
A: Yes
B: No

Q5: How old is the Mole?
A: 27
B: 39
C: 78

Chris: “I never dreamed of making it to the finale when I don’t have the fighting spirit. But I must avenge Patricia and redeem my sins. Let’s see. There’s Hossan Ghoti and Vlad Pire. Hossan is just plain mean and snarky. He’s not well-liked and yet is great at missions. I have a feeling he could be the Mole. He even found the hidden exemption and has one leftover exemption!

Vlad, however, is a bit more quiet, but has much of a story to tell too. Despite hating himself, he still uses it as an excuse to not do missions. For example, during the Bingo one, he chose to forfeit because hw could not take the sun. His sabotages are convenient.”

Q6: In Mission 1, in what order did the Mole showcase?
A: 1st
B: 2nd
C: 3rd
D: 4th
E: 5th
F: 6th
G: The Mole did not do the mission

Q7: In Mission 2, which place did the Mole start with?
A: Bell’s Barbell House
B: Bloom’s Institute of Wellness
C: Deja View Theatre
D: Eerie Park
E: Gypsy’s Landing
F: Van Gould Merchant House & Café
G: Zoomsweeper Test Track
H: Library of Lore & Vault of Antiquity

Q8: In Mission 3, how did the Mole complete the mission?
A: Walked over it like normal
B: Braved it but struggled
C: Did not even do it

Q9: In Mission 4, how much did the Mole bet altogether?
A: 20
B: 45

Q10: In Mission 5, which space did the Mole daub?
A: M5
B: O73
C: None

Hossan: “I will so win this. But since this is their stupid tradition, I’ll follow suit. I know Vlad is a likely candidate to be the idiotic Mole because it’s so easy for him to do so. Plus, he’s never won an exemption and has sabotaged a lot of times! He used a cover-up sob story to deflect suspicion, but I’ve caught onto him.

But let’s not neglect Chris. He’s put in effort to be the Mole too. He has sabotaged and one major one was the betting one. He has no drive and can’t be bothered to win this thing! Not to mention he’s one of the slowest quiz takers. If he’s not the Mole, then who is? Unless he’s caught onto the same Mole.”

Q11: In Mission 6, what was the Mole’s first bid?
A: 20
B: 25
C: 27

Q12: In Mission 7, where was the Mole standing from left to right facing the entrance?
A: Left
B: Middle
C: Right

Q13: In Mission 7, what did the Mole bump into?
A: A wall
B: A wall and a tree
C: Nothing

Q14: How many exemptions has the Mole won altogether?
A: 0
B: 1
C: 3

Q15: Who is the Mole?
A: Vlad Pire
B: Chris Winters
C: Hossan Ghoti

Vlad: “I’ve made it this far…unbelievable. Right, must stay focused. Who is the Mole…for one, Chris is quite likely. He’s slow and has no interest or need or desire to win this. By right, he should have been out way early. And yet he’s still here. He’s done his fair share of sabotage. And he’s got such a dark history!

Of course, who can forget about Hossan Ghoti? That annoying creep that everyone hates. He sabotages  a lot and is so cocky. We’ve seen how the cocky ones left, so by right he should have been out the door too! He sabotaged a lot. Also, he found that dossier and tried to manipulate others with the information. By right he would have broken the rules, no? And he earned the most exemptions this season. How can we deny his suspicion?”

***

After the quiz, the contestants get ready for the finale. Speaking of which,


***



“Let’s welcome back our previous contestants!”

“First up, Wayne Goppud!”
Wayne: “I’m back guys!”


“Following him is Patricia Winters!”
Patricia: “I was having a date with the aliens. Don’t tell Chris!”

“Then it’s Manura Dewick!”
Manura: “Hurry up. I can’t bear to leave poor Pretteh alone.”



“5th in place is the lovely Faith Remosso!”
Faith: “And hello again everybody! I’m ready to bust that Mole!”



“Last but not least, the one that’s so close….Noira Green!”
Noira: “It’ll be exciting to find out who the real Mole is.”



“Make yourselves comfy, everyone.”
Noira: “Oh, the sofa’s finally been replaced.”



“In a while’s time, 3 men will walk down that staircase. The Mole, the winner and the runner-up.”
Manura: “I could have been the one! I even practiced it with Pretteh!”
“Well too bad!”



“As always, before anything, we show the sabotages. This time, however, we’ll show the sabotages of all our players.

Episode 1-The contestants didn’t really show off their best, and 2 of them didn’t even show at all!

Faith: “Watch this! I can fly!”
Noira: “Big deal. So can I. We already know you can fly with your humungous wings. Plus we’ve seen Winnie.”

Faith: “I’d like to see you try.”

Patricia: “Oh, what a cute little thing!”

“Chris, it’s your turn.”
Chris: “Gosh, I can’t do this…I want to forfeit.”

Hossan: “Boo! This is my trick!”
Wayne: “What? Oh, it’s you. Lame.”

As you can see, both Chris and Hossan had a little sabotage here, but Vlad didn’t. Not really, anyway. His hunt was one of the better ones.

Episode 2-Some contestants used…different ways to find their prize. Some even discouraged others from doing so.

Wayne: “Could it be in the dumpster?”
Manura: “Ugh. Disgusting. You’re such a dog.”
Wayne: “Say that one more time and I’ll rip you to shreds!”

Noira: “Guys! There may not be any prize here at all! We’re just wasting time!”
Vlad: “Don’t be a Mole and help look through these books.”

It so happens that none of the finalists sabotaged. Chris did adopt a method which would take forever, and Vlad supported him and accused Noira of being a mole. Hossan searched through the entire building.

Episode 3-The last finalist’s first big act of sabotage started here, by not doing it completely, citing the sun as an excuse. Another also did not complete it.

Vlad: “There’s no way I’m joining. I’m a vampire for goodness sake!”

“Manura, it’s your turn.”
Manura: “It’s not like it’s some radioactive substance or something…ouch! Hot, hot, hot! I’m going back! Oh, my poor feet!”

Episode 4-This was hard to sabotage, but the best way was to lose all the money. Fast. Half of the remaining players did that. 2 others were left with little money but their suspicion was lowered thanks to those 3.

“The number rolled was 11, so Hossan, Vlad and Noira bet correctly, but Noira has run out of money. Total amount of money in the end:

Manura-0
Chris-0
Hossan-30
Vlad-6
Noira-0
Faith-4

Chris was a big suspect. Vlad’s suspicion was lowered and Hossan was the only one seen as contributing to the group.

Episode 5-2 contestants chose to leave early and never come back, citing bladder and sun as reasons.

“E1.”
Hossan: “I need to pee. You better win this, Noira.”

Vlad: “Why do I smell something burning…oh that’s me!”

Episode 6-The sabotage here was hard to tell, because everyone had bid, but Chris was the highest bidder and naturally the most suspicion fell onto him.

Hossan: “20 points…great it’s on fire!”

Hossan: “28!”
Noira: “29!”
Chris: “30 points!”
“Going once, going twice…”

“Sold to Chris Winters!”
Chris: “All right! My first exemption!”
“This also means that the pot now has 490/1530 points.”
Noira: “Gee, thanks a lot.”

Interesting thing to note is that Hossan raised the bar by bidding 4 times the starting bid. Vlad also only bid once, as if he didn’t really care and just wanted to lessen suspicion. Hossan also somehow earned a secret exemption by luck.

Episode 7-One finalist sabotaged yet again by not being found.

Chris: “Thanks a lot Vlad.”
Vlad: “It was hard to see inside there.”

Vlad ran around, claiming it was dark and couldn't find the others. Chris and Hossan also argued with each other, wasting some time.
So, who could the Mole be?”



Faith: “I think it’s Vlad. I’ve always found him fishy.”
Noira: “Hmm…”
Faith: “Agree with me, Noira.”
Noira: “You could be right. I’d think it’s Vlad too.”
Manura: “Well, Vlad seems to have a convenient excuse to do so.”
Patricia: “Since everyone’s going for Vlad, then so will I!”
Wayne: “Vlad? While I’d like to think it was him, I don’t think it’s that simple. Chris does seem mighty suspicious. Plus he’s human. All the moles have been human.”
Patricia: “Except Season 4. The Mole was William Fangmann, a vampire.”
Wayne: “Well, except that. You don’t think it’s Hossan do you?”
“Without further ado, let’s reveal….the runner-up!”

















































































































































































































































































































































































"Whose photo will be the next to appear?"


































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































“Hossan Ghoti!”



Manura; “Well, it’s the one nobody picked!”



Hossan: “I’m terribly P.O.ed that nobody thought I was the Mole. I thought I was quite good at it! But anyway, I’m not that stupid Mole, but I have a feeling I know who is. I did not have fun one bit because Id didn’t win. The only comfort I got was that the winner didn't earn much either.”
“Or the winner could win nothing if he doesn't get the Mole right. Meaning to say that all money may go to the Mole!”
Hossan: “Now we’re talking!”

“Hossan Ghoti has an average score of 5.75. The calculation is like this: 1st quiz-5%, 2nd+3rd quiz average-5%, 4th+5th quiz average-10%, 6th quiz-10%, last quiz-70%.”



“Now, the moment we've all been waiting for…Who is the Mole?”




















































































































































































































































































































































































“It’s Vlad Pire!”
Vlad: “Hey guys!”


Vlad: “I enjoyed myself, though it was stressful and I hated many of the contestants for being occults, for guessing me rather early on, so I tried to shake them off, and especially Hossan Ghoti for finding my secrets and telling them on national television!”
Noira: “I hate him too for using me!”
Vlad: “Anyways, still, it was a great experience being the Mole, even though I didn’t agree with many things. And yes, it was easy to sabotage with my vampirism, but still I had to do it discreetly. I congratulate the winner for sniffing me out. I do want to hang out with Noira though after this. WE can find out more about humans together.”
Hossan: “I can’t believe it! I thought Chris was the Mole!”
“Good thing you didn't win or you’d lost your money!”


Manura: “So we know who the winner is already then.”































“Chris Winters!”
Chris: “Oh my gosh.”



Chris: “I can’t believe I won! This old man would never have dreamed of winning especially since I didn't really deserve it. I had no intention of going far in this game, so how I won is beyond my imagination. I’m glad I made myself look like the Mole and fool some of you guys though. However, I would use this money to prove Pat rehabilitation and for my retirement money, considering that I may lose my job thanks to Hossan.”
Hossan: “My pleasure to ruin your life.”
“You scored 7.819 on average, and guessed the Mole correctly, so you earn yourself the 525 points in the pot, or 525,000 Simoleons! This means that Vlad, though he did not earn everything, still earned 1075 points, or 1,075,000 Simoleons! Congratulations!”



“Now, let’s see the clues that pointed to Vlad being the mole, one of the things he didn’t agree with.”

 Black, white and red could be seen prominently throughout this season. Literally, black and red are the colours found on Vlad. Otherwise, black and white could be seen as the evil and goodness in him respectively, battling it out. But I doubt anybody would think that way.

  The colour of the font on the banner is actually a colour from the “Sims 3 Late Night” logo. Vampires first existed in Late Night, so since Vlad is a vampire, the clue was for him.

    Episode 2-The Mole dossier that could have been earned would have contained all these clues, just without explanations.

     During the voting, the chairs Manura and Hossan sat on were from Bridgeport. Vampires first existed from Bridgeport, so as Vlad is a vampire, it refers to him.


    After all the voting was done, there was a bat hidden. The bat refers to Vlad, a vampire. Unfortunately its hiding skills are so good that till today we can’t find it. The red circle is the region it could be found.


 Episode 3-The firewalk pit was an example of the first clue.


   Episode 4-In the character profile, every  page had the Smole logo imprinted on it. Only Vlad’s was special, as his one only had the Mole logo, meaning to say he was the Mole.


 The two who fought when Chris went down the steps were actually Vlad and the production team, over the dossier. Vlad gave himself away when he mentioned savouring blood, which only vampires would do. The only reason why we didn’t eliminate him was because he’s the Mole.

Vlad: “No!”
Production: “Who are you to say no? We make the rules here, not you! You are only to follow them!”
Vlad: “I don’t f*****g care! I’m not going to let the others know that easy!”
Production: “How dare you flout the rules! Want me to fire you?”
Vlad: “Try me, and I will murder you and savour your every last drop of blood.”
Production: “Great. Look what you’ve done! Nobody can reach it now!”
Vlad: “That’s the whole point.”
Chris: “Who’s there?”

   Episode 5-The only 5 spaces that were heard by the viewers had a special meaning behind them, especially the numbers. S9 did not refer to Season 9, but rather 2+7. 2 and 7 are the digits in Vlad’s age, 27. For M5, V is the roman numeral for 5. Both V and M are the start of the words Vlad and Mole respectively. O1 and E1 mean that he’s the first. O1 actually referred to the quiz where he’s always the first one for Question 10, whereas E1 refers to the table he sat at. For L11, L is the 11th letter of the English alphabet, and L is also found in Vlad’s name.

“Let’s start! M5.”
Chris: “Aha! A daub!”
Hossan: “What? That’s so unfair!”
L11.”

E1.”
Hossan: “I need to pee. You better win this, Noira.”

O1.”
Faith: “Ooh I’m getting so many daubs!”

Faith: “I can’t believe you said that.”
S9.”

  The board Vlad had had a row of numbers that had significance as well. The letter gave the indication of the placings, while the numbers gave the letters of the name.  M is the first letter of the word “MOLE”, which Vlad is. V is the 22nd letter of the alphabet. O, the 2nd letter, has 11, L. Likewise for L1, which is 3rd letter A, and E4, which is 4th letter D.

  Episode 6-This was more of a coincidence than a clue, but the contestants gathered by the fire pit. Vlad’s shirt also had fire imprinted on it.

   
The flatscreen plasma TV had a different border than usual. It had the same design as Vlad’s shirt.



And that’s it! Thank you for viewing and joining the Smole, Season 9.”



Noira: “What? That’s quite few. Whatever. I’m going to the toilet.”
Vlad: “Oh Noira…”
Hossan: “Seriously dude, you’ve got to have better taste than that…”
Vlad: “You are not going to insult my Noira.”
Hossan: “She has no interest in you!”
Vlad: “She will eventually!”

Manura: “Who let that dog in anyway?”
Chris: “You mean Wayne? I've no idea.”
Manura: “I need the piano to calm myself down.”


Vlad: “I know you’re married and all, but can you guys stop rubbing it in?”



See you next time on the Smole

 *Red means executed, brown means lowest score but faster, dark green means exemption earned, green means exemption used, black means not in game.
**This is the first season where the finalists are all male.
***In Episode 6, Noira was automatically executed because two got the exemption and she was faced for execution with the Mole.
