Who's The Boss
Game #3192: Splintered Cells
This game is moderated by LogicalRoger. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 7 rounds.
Well, I did say I wanted to try this out, even though people tend not to enjoy risks. Well, I'll give it a try, anyways. Oh, and this has nothing to do with the game series with a similar title. I just thought it fit well.
There are two major points about this game:
1. Players will be broken up into three groups of five and can only post their votes in their group talkbox. There will be punishments for votes disclosed in the public game. However, I will post players' stated votes the round after. One group will have the boss and another will have the rat.
2. Each round a group has the chance to fire a player a player through unanimous group vote. If the group chooses the boss or rat they will be given a clue instead. Clues may also be given rarely to add further speculation about who they chose.
Tell me what you guys think. I'm not sure about the second rule as of yet. Do you lot think it has the potential to be useful or not?

I'm always game for trying new things.
My only question with Rule 2 would be, will getting a clue rather than a firing pinpoint too quickly who the Boss is?

Yeah, it definitely might. That's why there is a chance that I'll give one out for employees and also give them out for the rat. Since it has to be unanimous and the boss/rat will not vote for themselves to be fired, it could only occur in the group with no boss/rat. And since it's first come first served, it should be a low chance that they pick the boss to be fired.
I'll tweak it if I need to.
Thanks for joining, by the way.

That's a good point; it'd probably be VERY unlikely that there'd be a unanimous vote. Even if I'm not the Boss/Rat, I'm still not gonna vote for myself. Hung jury!
I'm glad to be here!

Thanks for joining guys. I guess this is one of those weeks when usual players hibernate.

Nah, just forgetting to post is my downfall lately. Also, crazy weather. Either really hot or storming.
Howdy!

Sounds neat. Thanks for joining, all. I just hope this one can get off the ground. Just a few more and an active boss. Can we do it? Yes we can!

Wee, just 1 more 'til we can start!
Just for full disclosure, I will be going on a trip to visit family this weekend. But it's a low-key visit and there's internet access (plus my iPhone), so no worries about my activity.

I don't quite follow rule two, Roger. Can the group vote to fire someone unanimously from another group? or is it just their own group? And, if so, why would anyone vote for themselves to get fired - thus creating a unanimous vote?
Yes, the first group to come to a unanimous decision in a round can vote for any player and thus will likely only be able to fire players from other groups. I could think about tweaking this rule if y'all have a better way to implement firing someone, but I wanted a) a way to have the boss/rat not get fired due to chance and b) make firings by vote harder.
Instead of unanimous vote, I could allow for a majority of 4 or more on any one player, but I would still want the boss/rat a chance to talk their fellow players out of firing them and thus would then have time limits. Unless this implementation gets a great deal or support, or the former version a great deal of confusion/criticism then I will keep it as is. Suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for asking.

I'm going to need you to be really good at reminding us what we need to do, Rog. I'm bad at following long directions.

Well, assuming the rules stay the same:
- Don't post any kind of votes that have not been publicly revealed by me outside of your private talkbox
- In the private talkbox you can say who you're voting for in the game AND who you want me to fire
- You can talk in the main game besides what is prohibited
- The first team each round to get a unanimous vote for someone will get that user fired

This is not liking good. 7 of 15 have not been on in 2 our more days
Yeah, that is really unfortunate. :/ Blame the long wait time for starting up, though. Well, at least we're up now. I guess it'll be somewhat of a quiet game. :[

All right. I've sent out invites and tried to seclude the sleepers as much as possible. Here are the groups:
Cell X:
- Creamy_Sugar
- Fintops
- Gbrale
- Rishavbraingle7
- Waylander
Cell Y:
- bbgirl
- braingle01
- BrightDays
- HarryPutter
- Jayo
Cell Z:
- AMendez
- elmoAbby
- kzmonopoly
- scrub88
- whoviandeb
The rat is one of the three groups and the boss is one of the three groups.

I guess you would say Cell X is a sleeper cell.
