Welcome to Round 2!
So glad I made it back on in time to start the next round. I was certain I would be too late to start the round. Sweating bullets here. . . didn't want to disappoint you good people one more time.

Take all sorrow out of life and you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur. It is the furnace that melts hearts together in love.

Well the firing taught us absolutely nada. Boss was smart not to fire from the list. According to the list from last round, neither Limerick or BrightDays stated a vote. Of course if only Limerick was a mandatory firing, that means BrightDays either voted but didn't tell us, or is one of the rat or the boss. I don't see anyone who knows enough a boss to limit rage firings to the point we learn nothing being careless enough to forget to claim to have voted.
But then again, she may have.
Interesting the boss used the English word 'fun' but wrote the rest of the memo in French. Easy enough to Google so not much learned there either.
I find GIVING gifts to be much more enjoyable than getting. I have been asked by at least 6 or 7 people what I want and they've all been given the same response, "absolutely nothing. If there is something I want, I can get it for myself."
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

And I love that whenever French is used in a memo, I am suspected! I have never written a memo in anything but straightforward English. I prefer to use trickery and distraction to fool people and hide in plain sight.

Just to let you guys know, our U-verse is still having issues, and a man will be coming by tomorrow to look at the line. We've been warned that for a while tomorrow we may lose everything again. It won't be for very long, or it shouldn't be . . . . so just wanted to let you know.

I kinda laughed when I saw what looked like French, thinking the same thing, Habs. I have to feel you are not the Boss, at least I feel that for now. I guess I'll go with the Jayo vote to see if we can get a good solid clear.

VOTING LIST!!! (en Francais )
bobbi: Jayo
cccgirl: Deb
HABs: ???
kvthegreat: Bright Days
masoni: Jayo
RGW4: HABs
I'm willing to join a majority, but not that one.

Why are you reluctant to clear me cc?
I said at the start we need a solid majority and not waste a round
Interesting that nobody was 'fired' so either there was a MoO situation or the Boss didn't want to clear HP as I assume that myself and Habs would have been the lemmings if we both had valid votes
Habs could well be the Rat if there was indeed a MoO
Hmm Vote de sécurité pour Bradon pour l'instant

Because I don't think you're the Boss. Bosses don't want clears, and you've been pushing to get us united from the beginning. Plus the boss wouldn't question why I don't want to clear you
Like I said, I'm all for clears. I think that logically, though, we should pursue someone else.

What about Brightdays? I could vote her.

Ly Jayo, I am neither the boss's nor the rat. Anybody could be the rat if there was a majority of one. However, as the only firing was a mandatory, we don't know. It is very likely HP was in fact the candidate and both you and I were on the firing list the boss chose not to fire either of us.
I am placing a safety vote for scrub for now.
BTW remember, I'm not the only one that could have composed that sentence without help. As with the last game, it is very simple French. One that anyone who has ever studied French could write. Both Gizzer and HP would have at least that level of French.
My guess is Google had something to do with it.

I might be down for a BrightDays vote....opinions?
So there's a slight majority on my brother. I'm gonna vote for him; happy to clear someone this round; may as well be him!
Also, I don't perceive Habs as being the boss. The whole French thing seems a bit too obvious! Also, not surre what to make of both scrub and cccgirl so eagerly trying to start a new majority when there's already one been started. Seems a tad suspicious to me :/

HABS, what would happen to the lemmings if HP had been the boss?
From what I can tell the firing list would have been no one.
I am just wondering because I am surprised the boss would not take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of you and Jayo.

You can't be a lemming if you vote for the boss. So ,if HP is the boss than neither Jayo nor I would be on the list. IF he is not the boss we woudl be the only ones on it as we voted in the only majority and would therefore be the lemmings.
Of course if Jayo is either the boss or rat, then that would mean there was no majority and everyone would be on the list. The boss would therefore be presented with a list of 12 possible firings (the boss and rat would not be on it, nor would Limerick who was a mandatory firing). The boss wisely chose not to fire any of them.
Still not sure if Bright just forgot to mention where she put her vote or if she wa not fired due to a "special role" in the game.
EDIT: Going over last round - Bright only posted once
This could be her trying to say she placed a vote on Froggy. But not really sure.
It is agaisnt the rules for her to confirm if she voted and if so for whom she voted. Just bringing this forward to aid me in my thought process ...

But like you said, she can not state anything about her vote. I have said this before, it is so important for employees to confirm their vote, state their confirmation and clearly say who they voted for.
Also Habs... I did not vote for you because of the french or anything else... it was just a safety vote. I have you way down the list of being a potential boss because my experience with you as a boss is that you send in your response to the prompt almost as soon as the round starts. If you had done that in the first round, the round would have ended at the end of 24 hours... but apparently the boss did not send off their response until much later, which gave Snowy the much needed time for her internet to come back up.

I'm not sure if I'm clear or not Or whether i should join gizzer majority.
I also think the boss was likely in that game where French was in the memo last time

I think this should be accurate. We still have 10 hours left. In theory, we should be all voting for one person, right? That way we don't have a MoO and we clear a player? Considering the tied majorities on Jayo and scrub, would it be wise to pick one for everyone to jump onto?

At this point, due to the choice the Boss made to fire (seemed to be a mandatory fire), no one is cleared.
Keeping my vote where it is.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Mason - no we don't need "everyone" to vote for the same person to get a clear. As long as there is a majority on one player - then the boss can only fire from that list of players. If we want to win, then over half the players with voting rights have to have voted for the boss.
At this point in the game there are several players who will not vote along side everyone else. They won't join any majority they are not very confident about.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

I see four possibilities.
1: Harry is the boss and the firing list was really short - none.
2) HABS or Jayo is the wolf or rat, and then the firing list was everyone, but the boss did not want us knowing who they(the rat or boss) were.
3) They(HABS and Jayo) are both the rat and the boss, and are confusing us all. - statistically speaking not very likely. Also, I don't think they would let themselves get caught in a false majority that way. They are too experienced.
4) Someone else is the boss and neither Jayo nor HABS is the rat, and they did not want to fire Jayo and HABS - why not? Masoni might be gun shy after last game. Pretty weak argument though.
And I am sticking with HP this round. Of the three players, though, the boss seems more like Jayo from the clues.

There is always a firing list Scrub

So in every on of your zcenarios, Jayo and/or I are somehow involved?
Seems rather a narrow view. One which the real boss or rat may take to keep focus off the real perps.
It is more likely that the boss just chose not to fire anyone for the first round to get one free pass.
If it truly was a MoO then firing one of the 12 possibilites would give us much information. The "mistake" ladt game was firing people out of multiple majorities thus clearing more than one player at the same time.
The boss can't win unless he fires players. He won't be able to continue with his current course.
EDIT; Why if you think Jayo is a better shot, would you vote HP? Why risk being fired? Perhaps it doen't matter who gets your ",vote" as you can't be fired anyway.

I'm not liking the small majorities, I'm also thinking Jayo is too willing to be cleared, in other words isn't the Boss, but could be the rat trying to lure us away from the boss. Sorry but changing my vote To KV to stay out of any majority this round and hopefully stay employed to work another day.

A number of late-round vote changes, but it looks like we ended up with 3 votes for Jayo, and that BrightDays might be a mandatory firing.
I never got around to changing my vote from Deb, so if I get fired, it's not her. :p

The player with the most votes (in this case HP - assuming HABS and Jayo are both employees) is the candidate. The firing list is made up of players that voted for the candidate, unless the candidate is the boss. Then the rat could be on the list if 25% or more voted for the boss (which did not happen in our scenario). If HP were boss and you two were both employees, the firing list would have no one on it.
