Well, at least Stewie is cleared as boss. I can't say it feels good to lose two players for the price of one, though. I failed to see that coming.
Will put out a vote for Froggy for now.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

I'm more inclined to think the psych answer was written by RGW4 or Froggygg. I think for now I'll safety for Randy, but if we can get enough to clear or catch, I'd have no problem with changing to Froggy or having others join my Randy vote.

Sorry to lose shady and who.
I think the boss might be Randy, though I don't have any evidence to back it up, just a gut feeling. Stating the obvious here but staying out of any majority until every one is sure/comfortable going for the victory.
Safety for the moment .
Bobbi gets the safety for the moment.

I am not the boss, but I won't try and convince anyone I am not. The prompt answers could fit me, which is sort of alarming from one stand point, though I am a wordy son of a gun and would never use such short answers.
I am not sure why you did not see that coming LR, two for one. The push is "let's clear someone" not let's find the boss. With everyone but two voting for Stewie, the boss would be making a mistake to not murder two... Stewie was definately cleared once the game was not over with a clear majority on him.
I am not going to vote yet... I want to relook at the rounds... plus I have to take my dog out to the front porch for a nightly sit and watch the other dogs walk by (we normally walk him when it is dark).

At least we now have one cleared player being Stewie. For some reason, the boss message sounds a bit masculine, but I'm probably wrong on that.
Anyway, not sure who to vote for but leaning towards Randy. Placing a temp vote on Randy for now. I will be back later to see what new has been posted.
Stewie, I agree it is a good idea for you to stay out of any majorities since you are cleared.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

The fact is that the psych answers are revealing nothing to go off of, which makes catching the boss not just hard but extremely unlikely, then it becomes a lets clear people kind of game.
It does old but I am never proud of winning doing it as I feel it is a cheap tactic, but sometimes it is a necessity to victory for the employees. every one here has seen it over the years. It makes it almost impossible for the boss to win when the majorities start fro round one Sorry just felt I had to state my opinion on that particular matter.
Going to bet, back in the morning.
Good night all and than you for the birthday wishes yesterday.

Well, the answer is def. Not me. I have only tent-camped once in my life and hated every second of it. I did go with my parents last summer when they had their 35' A-Class parked at an RV park. We had heat, electricity, running water, a fully stocked fridge and most importantly, indoor plumbing.
. My younger sister got married last summer as well, and she had over 300 people camping out in tents for a two day event.My husband and I stayed in the motor home with my parents and my brother's 19 month old child. No way I was sleeping on the ground. I may be talked into GLAMPING but is as close to "roughing it" that I'd be willing to consider.
I am sticking with my belief it is either Randy or Roger. I am thinking Randy is the rat.
Voting again for Roger.

Well it may seem like split a hair, but I am voting for Bobbi
In round 4, only Hydra was fired... which was probably a majority (edit.... mandatory... they both start with ma); but it does seem like the boss was either trying to not clear people or could not because the majority was on them.
Confirmed
sorry Stewie, but I feel a conviction on this one
another edit... because I can. I saw a move by LR towards Froggy, then Bobbi talking about it being either me or Froggy... then Stewie thinking it sounded more like me but going to stay out of a majority... then Froggy saying he should and leaning towards me with a vote for now on me.
I am good with being cleared... but now I wonder if Stewie was put in that position of not joining a majority but doing what he could to sway the vote???
My conviction just changed... Bobbi could be a camper; but I recall Froggy saying somewhere that she wasn't too keen on hotels. Froggy, I am going to vote with LR for this one instead of Stewie. My vote is for you.
Yeah, another edit... confirmed that change it is now on Froggy. Yeah, I know it looks wolfish; but I really am trying to find the boss not sway the vote.

I'm fine with your vote Randy. However, I have never said that I am not "keen on hotels" because who doesn't like to be pampered by staying in a hotel where you do not have to clean up or do anything but have fun?
This seems like a desperate attempt to get votes to change off of you and onto me. Sorry, my vote has now gone from a temp vote to a firm one.
Edit: Vote for Randy locked in and confirmed.

If there was any sort of majority on the boss, he would either be fired or add a number of people to chose to fire.
I don't understand the not firing anyone, all that does is drag the fame on and force us to clear players to find the boss instead of deducing the boss's identity from the prompts.
I, as boss, like to answer the prompt fully, but in a way I can twist in the game I didn't write it and that it doesn't fit me because A/BC and point out how it does fit a couple other people.
To me, Randy seems to be trying to create confusion, sort of like a rat would, more than trying to find the boss.

Habs, I sort of beg to differ with your last comment. You said it best in round 3, the boss is tight lipped and not saying much. We aren't learning much from those posts. The point of the firings for the first few rounds (except last one) was that it appeared most were just mandies and when the boss could fire more than one person, he did not.
I could have completely edited my earlier comment when I decided to switch my vote from Bobbi to Froggy; but I know some read the comments without posting things. We all know edits are not taken lightly; but I also hate it when there are 4 posts in a row by the same person.
I am not trying to create confusion, I was confused myself and if that wasn't evident... so be it. As you always drum into our minds in basically every game, the clues don't fit you and you are neither the boss or the rat. You realize how that becomes a mute point when you are found to be the rat or the boss? I mean nothing by this comment but to say instead of pounding the same drum, let's work together. I can do the same thing, except the prompt clues could fit me in some points and in others not. I am neither the boss or the rat in this game, I give you my word; and if I have nothing else to offer, my word is my bond. And I am sure you and others will still point fingers at me this game that I am either the rat or the boss. If I am the rat... then who the heck is the boss?
You were possibly cleared in round 2 when someone who apparently voted for you got fired. I have always said a single person firing is iffy at best, unless the person has been very dilligent in confirming the vote. Of course the problem with a single person firing is if the person fired was the rat and did not hack the system so they could be fired while stating a vote for the boss... however, I highly doubt that would occur in an early round.
There were four votes for LR in round one... but no one was fired there but a mandie. He has been looked at as the rat too, but he could still be the boss, he was never cleared.
Only a mandie fired in round 3 - MDC It does not matter about the majorites, there weren't enough votes on anyone to matter.
Round 4... the only majority was LR and I on Bobbi, with Hydra fired. Was Hydra a mandatory, or had Hydra voted and if so, for whom? Most likely if she did, it was either for Bobbi or someone who already had a vote, making a second majority. Hydra was the easiest to fire without giving away any info. Did it clear anyone? No, of course not.
Last round everyone changed to vote for Stewie, except you and of course Stewie. I haven't suspected you of being the rat, but in any case, you did not join that vote, and you are right... you have been cleared of being the rat. It also, in my opinion, regardless of the first round, clears you of being the boss because there would be no reason not to join a full majority knowing only two could be fired.
So, it was only because of how this round started that I first believed it to be Bobbi... but I did recall something about hotels from something Froggy had said once and for the life of me I can not find it. I had some "notes" on some players in my personal talk box... sadly, I did not realize that it must have been a while since I was there and it is gone now. I browsed the talk boxes that are still active last night and did not see anything... and although I could not have shared something from a private talk box, I was hoping to find a clue to a game where it was said. My only other choice is to go through every game I have played to find it... I am sure it was in a boss game in regards to a prompt (she was not the boss then). You obviously do not have to believe me... but for now, my vote is on Froggy and it will stay on Froggy.
I am leaving for work now... may not be back before the round ends. Again, vote for me if you want, but if Habs is right and I am the rat... what you would be doing is giving the boss another free pass. Vote for me only if I sound like the boss.

Okay then, I really have to believe Randy when he says he's not the Boss. Based on the psych answer this round, I really don't think HABS is the Boss. I also don't think, based again on this round's psych answer that LR is the Boss. Stewie has been cleared. and I know I'm not the Boss.
Since my first instinct after reading the prompt was either Froggy or Randy and I've played in at least one other game when Froggy was Boss where her answers were very short and not at all revealing, I'm going out on a limb here I think, but will change my vote to Froggy.

There is always a candidate and always lemmings. There is always firing list though due to mandies, the boss may not always be able to fire from it
if you go back and read I have also said that well I consider myself cleue due to whoever it is important for me being fired I know that is not guarantee vent I am NOT the boss.
and once again, I did NOT vote for Stewie simply because I did NOT believe he was the boss and so no point in putting myself in harms way when a majority had already formed on him. it is simple as that. Were I the boss I would have been stupid not to join that majority. especially given that not joining it has made me look suspect.
I don't know about this frog eating either for some reason something tells me its Roger. I could be way off base, but that is where my phone is has been and will remain.

Randy, you are really starting to sound defensive. First you say:
Then you come out strong and post this:
Because I do know you and do not feel you would ever give your word so firmly, I'm considering changing my vote to LR. I don't think Bobbi is our Boss but I have had doubts about LR.
Also, once again, I have never said that I am not too keen on hotels. Keep looking through all your tbs and wherever because you will not find such a comment from me. In fact, we have a favorite hotel that we stay in when we go to the coast, while not very often, it is the same one that we make reservations at each time.
Changing vote to LR but still have suspicions of Randy...
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!
