Dunno, but I disliked dxe4 as well. I vote to remove @TheGreatAttorney

Chess_Condor

I abstain. The lack of concern that you may or may not be voting out a commoner intrigues me. Your answer was very mole like, but my primary focus is still on TheGreatAttorney. As of now there is no reason for our team's mole to make bad moves. We are in a losing position so I think the mole will just try to blend in for now.

I believe in a proactive approach. At 6 moves per vote, things can be rectified in a timely manner. Commoners can be brought back in adequate time. If someone is voted out , leaving 2 players, I believe that shortens the vote frequency to every 4 moves, in which case action can be taken even more quickly. In any case, what bothers me is lack of attention. To not even read the moves (if that is actually what occurred) is inexcusable. 

Question: if a mole is voted out then recruited by the other team, does the mole then serve as a mole on their new team, or a commoner?

Mole Chess = variant of chess, Chess = standard chess implying Whack-a-mole = Whack-a-variant. Truth be told, only history will repeat itself, as we continually whack the chess variants from plain view. Chess 960 is gradually deteriorating, but I believe the deterioration is unjustified, truly random and a pinnacle of our research in the field of science.

It would stay every 12 moves between votes because both votes are held at the same time.

To answer your question: The player will keep their original role. Your role will never change.

Possible Rule Change: As of now you need a majority vote to vote a player back in. The problem with this is if you vote out a commoner then the mole won't let you vote anyone back in. Do we want to change the ruling to you need a majority OR tie to vote someone in?

Yes, 1 person should unilaterally be able to bring back someone voted out, if that team is down to 2 players.

TheGreatAttorney

I vote to remove dax00, as GreaterPlayz was the mole. Dax inherited his spot and thus, his role.

This I agree with.

I agree with this as well.

NotGeneralGrant

All right, what do the other members of the white team think? So far, all the moves have been fairly logical, so I can't tell who the mole is. Has anyone else seen anything I haven't?

This rule is now taking affect.

Two more voting in rule that needs to be resolved:

If there are two voted out players and two players remaining on a team, both players may vote a player in. Does this sound okay?

If both teams want to vote in a player should we allow the team with the least amount of players first pick and if thats a tie then the player goes to its original team?

I vote to remove NotGeneralGrant. This was my original thought as to whom the mole is.

If it's a tie, it should be the player's pick, no?

Not a bad idea, I'll wait until I hear some more opinions to set the rule in stone.

Chess_Condor

Unless @NotGeneralGrant votes him/herself nobody would be voted out. I think it's safe to assume this won't happen so we are going to move on.

@JustARandomPatzer it's your move.

That doesn't make sense. The rule is 2 move rotations. 2 move rotations for 2 players is 4 moves. Likewise, for 4 players, it would be 8 moves. There is no need to hold voting for both teams at the same time.
