Sticking with my vote for Spider .
The boss is a chicken.
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.

Nobody was fired? I have never seen a situation as boss that I was not allowed to fire anyone. The boss likely did not want to clear anyone so chose not to fire anyone. This does not move the game along and
I can't see Spider, Scrub, or HP doing this so will once again vote for Ghost as he is the only one left.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

You give Spider too much credit. The boss is obviously very nervous.

Not firing anyone serves absolutely no purpose. All it does is clear Scrub at no cost, I don't know what's with your apparent vendetta here snow, but there's no reason for me (or anyone really) to do this because it achieves nothing

Vendetta? You're not taking anything personally, now are you? I simply feel that you could easily chicken out on firing someone, and it's not above you. No vendetta. . . . really.
You said last round that you would be happy to be cleared this round. . . . so that's why I am keeping my vote on you. Plus, you're my top suspect at the moment. You slipped out of getting a majority kept on you last round. . . . why, I don't know why. . . . . but you snap your fingers and people jump. lol I find it humorous.
Last round you wrote - It's rare you can truly dismiss anyone on pysche questions (except when they are written by Har and almost determined to give you away). I think with the rat gone we get 3 chances to win (6-4-3) which is really amazingly generous haha. There's time to clear both Scrub and me, but I wouldnt write HABS off. She has tried to cast doubt on Gizzer being rat (when there is obviously no reason for her to lie) and Ghost being clear....it's possible Shroom didn't vote how he said he did (but especially since he was no the rat) it's reasonable to assume he voted Ghost.
sticking with Scrube
This give me the go to vote for you. I think you either need cleared, or fired as the boss. One or the other is fine with me.

The only reasonable course of action for me would be to fire the max and hope to slip through next round, with the heat on me, slowing the game down only makes things worse. I'm in the last position to be not firing anyone. I've never played with Ghost...I don't know why he would do this unless it was simply a misclick....which could I guess be anyone's mistake though. The only other possibility is Harry trying some kind of gambit or whatever.
I will vote Ghost for the time being, but def will be on top of the round

Do you or do you not welcome a clear? If you're not the boss, then you should be welcoming a majority on you.

Well, you can strike me off your list.
Round one and three answers could fit me, but the round 2 answer about gym being a favourite subject is so far off the mark, it all but clears me.. As I said, I took it once in HS. My fav subject was English, though decade only required to have 5 English credits to graduate, I took 8. I majored in English Lit in university. I can't stand Pepsi, if I go somewhere to eat, if they serve Pepsi, I'll drink water. And I drink pop by the boatload.
And no, I don't necessarily believe she is the rat. You say there is no need for her to lie, but then there was no need for that reaction either. Claiming to be the rat when she is not will affect the game if everyone buys into it.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't care about the rat. We have to find the boss not the rat. I just don't totally trust anyone.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

If the rat is still in the game, we have less rounds to win this. If the rat is still in the game, false majorities could be made, and this is something to keep in mind for all games.
But I don't think the rat is in the game. Gizzer had no reason to lie about it. What would have been the reason?
Keeping my vote on Spider, if anyone wants to join me, please do so. We need to either clear him or fire him. Either one is fine with me.

You can clear me, I just don't feel the need to announce it every 5 minutes...the fact that is standard op is indicative of the problems inherent to WTB.
Anyway, leaving my vote for the night, will check back in the morning

HABS and Harry - the game is kinda stuck here. Spider on me and snow on spider. Ghost should stay out of a majority.
If you vote me, Snow has to vote with you to have a result different from last round. I will vote either Spider or HP. Either of you want to attempt to clear Spider?

I think this is the best move for this round. If he's cleared, then we move on.
My top suspects are:
Spider
HABS
HP
In this order, in case Spider is cleared and I am fired.

I still think its HP...
Seems to be under the radar...
If you guys want to clear me again I am fine with that. (Honestly would be useless...)
Why would an employee want to lie about his/her vote?

Why can't it be snow or habs? No one has accused them, and they have been throwing out accusations around, bringing suspicion of themselves?
You are not allowed to lie in the psych questions, but you can lie when trying to defend yourself right?

WHAT?!? Are we playing the same game? Read a the round again. Snow has accused several times and though I did it tongue-in-cheek, I just accused Snow. Perhaps no one has brought our names up because, no one suspects us.
Sort of the point of the game isn't it? And EVERYBODY(including you) has been doing just the same. By that logic, we are all the boss..
You are not technically cleared. The only evidence there is of that is the firing of one player who could have very well have forgotten to lock his vote and was fired as a result not a choice by the boss.
The fact the boss is only firing the minimum number allowed speaks more of an inexperienced boss, there was no reason for the boss not to fire others who also voted for you. Since it would clear you whether 1 or 2 were fired, why not go for the maximum firings allowed? Skimping on firings actually ends up hurting the boss in the end as there are more potential votes later. An experienced player would know this.
I truly believe ghost is our culprit. Voting for him yet again.

I think the boss has gotta be HABS.
1) EDIT I'm quite certain HABS posted something above in regards to the pysch answers clearing her, she must have edited out during my commute to the office....The constant references to the pysche answers have become really strange. No one can be cleared by what they post in the game thread. Unless you have some kind of court sworn affadavit telling us you don't like gym class, telling us so here and expecting it to mean anything is odd.
2) From the looks of Round 2, braingle was fired (likely as a mandatory) in addition to 1 other player, Id think 2 is the maximum right? So the boss seemed like he did fire the most possible.
3) It's pretty obvious Gizzer was the rat, HABS is the only one disputing that (i.e. trying to cast doubts on whether true majorities were formed)
4) I was thinking bout it a bit, I think looking back last round the zero firings might make a little sense:
here was the voting layout iirc
Spider - Scrub
Harry - Scrub
HABS - Scrub
Snow - Spider
Ghost - Harry
Scrub - (I forget off the top of my head.....Ghost I think? )
If HABS fires Spider/Harry the game trims to: Snow, HABS, Scrub (cleared), Ghost (cleared), and she's all but garanteed to lose. Her best chance is something "reclearing" Ghost and convincing Scrub to join, she then fires Scrub, and another Ghost voter and gets to the next round with (for instance)
Snow HABS Ghost (clear) Spid/Harry
which is a far better chance at winning, It's the only thing that explains her insistence on voting Ghost.
I'm switching to HABS, if you guys wanna go the ROBOCLEAR method of play, feel free, if you want glorious victory, follow me

If you use the psych questions to defend yourself, I should do it too.
Q1 - fits me
Q2 - I have never been to the gym before. (No such thing as gym class...) (At least, not in my country) (Hate history...)
Q3 - I love hot chocolate.
Q4 - I hate all fizzy drinks.
What I meant by "no one has accused them" is hardly anyone has accused them.
Well... I guess I have been accusing people... I take that back...
I have played with some of you before actually... (Although I haven't been the boss...)
++ An experienced player could use the information against him to actually make other people suspect inexperienced players... (Double bluff?)
Brings me back to my previous point...
You are not allowed to lie in the psych questions, but you can lie when trying to defend yourself right?
If the rat had not been fired I would have suspected you are actually the rat, but...
I DUNNO MAN

Switching to HABS based on Spid logic
Go ahead an vote me, I said that in the first round when there was a majority forming on me. Put the idea of me being the boss to rest for once and for all.
I am insisting on voting for Ghost, because I think he is the boss. Nothing more sinister than that.
I am not disputing that any majorities were formed at all, when did I say anything about that?
All I said was that there was a albeit remote possibility that Gizzer lied about being the rat (for whatever reason) and that the rat was still with us.
Like I said, vote for me PLEASE - and then boss do us a favor and grow a pair and fire someone this round. The game cannot be won if no one gets fired.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

Now I dun think its Habs...
Gizzer ... the rat (self-proclaimed) voted for habs
Gizzer ... the rat (self-proclaimed) voted for habs

This game is turning out quite Saucy!! I like it!!

All the suspects should be voting in majorities. And I'm less active at this point because it has been incredibly frustrating trying to clear anyone this game

Her vote in the majority and meltdown because of it is part the reason I don't believe she was the rat.sure we would have gained a potential clear,
but that can easily be dealt with. The benefit to her would have been revealing herself to the boss without anybody else knowing. it is always beneficial for the boss to know the rat's identity as ensures the rat survival and can aid in winning the game.
since there would be no point in the real rat disputing her claim she could make it and affect the outcome without even being here

Once again, you are trying to get votes off you. WHY aren't you welcoming a clear for yourself? I think it's because you are the boss!
Even if you are not, we have time to clear you! People, we need to do this!!!!! Spider is desperatly trying to save himself, and if you don't see this, then I've gotta bang my head against the table until I see stars because this is driving me crazy! He's been a huge part of forming majorities on peeps, and now he doesn't want one formed on him!!!!! What does this tell you!
A simple employee would welcome the votes! AND AND AND . . . . . even if he's not the boss, we can clear/fire another player. But this has to be the round he gets our votes.
A clear or fire for Spider.
DON"T LET HIM SWAY YOU - HE"S FOOLING YOU!
Ghost, if I am correct, you are the only one cleared, and you are not 100% cleared. Of course I could be the boss, but I'm not, and I know I can't prove this, but you have to look at everything - do the memo's/answers fit me, etc I know we don't have a history of playing together, and this is where it gets hard, because it's harder to read people. To me, the answers fit a male rather than a female, although, when HABS had a majority formed on her, the boss decided not to fire anyone. Thus, she is not cleared, and to me, shoulc be conisdered after this round.
Don't let Spider confuse you. Sometimes his logic is manmade, to benifit himself. He twists and turns until you follow blindly . . . . . . when he's the boss, rat or wolf in WW that is. . . . . when he's an employee or human, he's a good player. Ha, well, even when he's twisting and turning he's a good player if he can get others under his thumb. Just don't let him make you out a chump. No insult meant.

HABS, continuing to suggest Gizzer is anything other than the rat doesnt add up to me. We know she is not the boss (obviously haha), so if she is not the rat she is a regular employee. What possible reason would a regular employee have for claiming to be the rat in such a circumstance, ESPECIALLY in the midst of a "moral high ground" type post.
I am not saying not to clear me, but as I know the game will continue if you do, I am suggesting voting HABS and you will get a new bright shiny medal on your lapel

I don't understand HABS thoughts on Gizzer's claim as rat either. Gizzer had no reason not to lie, unless she just wanted to screw the game up, and that's not within her character. She shouldn't have left the game, but she wouldn't have sabotaged it for the rest of us. I think HABS is thinking too much on this. That's all.
We should clear/fire you first Spider, then think on HABS. . . . . You get the majority of votes first. Come on . . . . be brave!

Sorry for the double post but. . . . once again, Spider is trying to squirm out of getting a majority on him.

With respect to HABS, she can't be the boss. Even with her clever way of phrasing things, there is no way that the clues fit her. And she has to answer the psych questions truthfully.
Also, I think Gizzer voting her as the rat (I assume Gizzer spoke the truth) is a clear indication she is not the boss.
I think shroom NOT locking in a vote is a lot less likely than our other circumstances.
Finally, Spider's logic is correct. If the boss had fired anyone last round, it would have left two people (gizzer and me) clear. Not good for finishing with a win. But any player in this game knows this all too well.
That said, I still can't tell if the boss is Spider (#1), Snow (#2) or HP (#3). All are clever and capable of playing us this far. All are in their normal character. The only thing I see positive is that HP agreed to vote Spider.
My thinking is pretty simple at this time. Vote Spider. If he clears, then Snow.
Also, I think Gizzer voting her as the rat (I assume Gizzer spoke the truth) is a clear indication she is not the boss.

Wouldn't three employee votes win the game since only five are voting? I think if spider is the boss the game is over.
No one did their reading
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

The central theme of "Ozymandias" is contrasting the inevitable decline of all leaders and of the empires they build with their pretensions to greatness.[10]

Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can - Sun Tzu
One very good observation - if Gizzer stated a vote for HABS, and Gizzer is the rat, then there's no way HABS is the boss. Simple as that. Spider's logic in why HABS is the boss, doesn't explain this fact.
Scrub, how do the psych answers fit me?
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.

I would say that's an oversimplistic way of looking at a boss/rat dynamic

Snow - I don't know that they don't, if that makes any sense.
Doesn't the boss have to come from the trio of voters voting me? My thinking is that three votes would have ended the game last round if I were the boss. Stated votes for me came from HABS, HP and Spider. Since I am still alive, not all three of them can be employees. Right?
I am using the rule that "if over half of the votes are for the boss, the game is over." So I think I am clear, as well as everyone not in the majority last round.

As someone once said - I think Spock - "when you eliminate the possible, whatever remains . . . no matter how impossible . . ."
I know it is something like that.
I like simple, especially in this game!

You guys do realize my Ozymandias reference and call back was prophecizing the now imminent fall of my kingdom right?
Scrub you are clear, but strictly speaking, anyone could still be the boss. This isnt wwg where the leading vote getter is eliminated.

Cut and pasted this from the rules -
Firing List
The Boss is only allowed to fire people who are on the Firing List. The Firing List contains the following people: 1. Lemmings 2. The Rat (If the rat forgets to hack the network, or if the Boss has received 25% or more of the votes) 3. Anyone that the moderator adds to the list for rule infraction or disorderly conduct.
The Boss will be allowed to fire a variable number of employees from the list depending on the game's logic. The game takes into consideration the round, the number of players left, and the number of people already fired that round due to non-voting.
If you voted for The Boss, you cannot be put on the Firing List.
Firings
Firing the Boss:The Boss must receive more than 50% of the votes to be fired. The players who voted for the Boss in that round will be declared winners of the game.
The Boss Fires the Rat: If the Rat fails to protect the Boss, then the Rat may be fired. If the Boss receives 25% of the votes in a given round, the Rat will be listed on the firing list (by username) along with everyone else. If the Boss receives 33% of the votes in a given round, the Rat will be listed on the firing list as "the Rat". The Boss is not required to fire the Rat in either of these cases. In the final round of the game, the Rat is safe from firing.
The Boss Fires the Employees: In any round in which the Boss is not fired, the Boss will be given a list of employees that are eligible for firing. The Boss may fire someone from this list.
** I know most to all know all this but it's good to see it first hand and be reminded.

I figured when you gave us the quote it was a self reference.
I thought it was a cyphered word, and I did not want to decipher it.

On the rules.
What I am saying is that since I didn't die, I am clear. Glad we agree. But also, since there were not three votes on me . . . the vote of one of the three stated votes did not happen. . . Ok - the boss could be anyone because there a lot of possible reasons why the three votes were not on me.
I still like it simple in this game because it is a simple game. It is also nearly impossible for the boss to win if the employees unite and sacrifice for the greater good.

And Dan - Nerding? Really? Could that word have come from anyone but you?
3 stated votes for you, 1 being the boss. . . .
I didn't vote for you because I just cannot see you stating Gym Class as being your favorite subject in school - being you are a teacher yourself.
I suspect Spider mainly because he fits the psych answers better than anyone else, unless HP is really the boss. If that is the case, he's done an outstanding job hiding. . . . HABS, I suspected for a while but with the fact that Gizzer did state a vote for her being brought up, and yea, I knew this but didn't make the connection until Scrub pointed it out. . . . then I have to dismiss HABS from being the boss.
So to me, it is either Spider or HP. If we are wrong about Spider, then I'm willing to vote HP, if I haven't been fired.
**Let's hope all are being honest with who they are voting for.

If I were tne boss, I would not have referenced a somewhat obscure poem especially in light of the fact that in the previous round I stated my enjoyment of English in school and that I majored in English Lit in University.
As it turned out, no one bothered working it out but had they done so, it would have been foolish of me to quote it.
I have actually been toying with the idea of Snow being the boss, but not ure the memos and psych sound like her either. Spider's reluctance to be cleared could mean he is the boss, or that he truly believes that i am and does not want to waste a round clearing him as he knows he is clear.
Of coure, I know I am not the boss and that voting for me is only helping the boss, but I welcome the votes and the clear.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.
