Well it looks like I already cleared myself by saying I only ever read the first book before the game started.
Edit: looks like Pranitha and Mnkgyl did the same
Safety on Aviator

KB, Avi and mira seem to know the series pretty well. KB sounds the most excited one.
I say we clear KB. Voting that way (not on 'way').
Every problem can be solved with a trick but finding that trick itself needs another trick.

Hmm...is there anyway to clear KB and oddrey at the same time? That self-clearing thing is a bit off to me...
Thanks Kz, I've been wondering about that for a while!

I'm down with clearing KB this round. Voting him for now.
I'm not really sure if there's a way to clear two people at the same time without relying on the boss's firings.
Queen stays queen, adios!

The Boss has somewhat revealed themselves by admitting to reading the series - I never have fwiw
Several have already admitted it but others may have done so too
Anyway, the style of the Memo should clear me if nothing else
Way to boring to be me
Voting KB for solid clear

I will switch to KB for the clear.
And Aviator, are you suggesting I lied about only having read the first book before the boss roll was even assigned? Clearing me would be a waste considering the gift we have been given with this Psych question.

I've read the books too, so good
KB for the clear!

Oddrey, I just found it a bit odd that you would insist on your own innocence...nobody is cleared for certain yet. Just pointed that out. But if everyone is trying for a solid clear on KB, then I will join the effort. Vote for KB.

Seems like I'm being cleared...not that I mind. I'll stick with my current vote since (like I said in the last WTB) voting for myself is a little strange. I'm not getting boss vibes from anyone yet...that could change though...depends on how I feel about everyone else in this game.

Question for anyone who knows the answer...do you get put on the firing list if you vote for yourself, or are you even allowed to vote for yourself (even though it is an option for the voting list if you are an employee...) ?

If I were the boss, I would be firing Mnkgyl and Pranitha first l if given the opportunity, and then me. In my opinion those two should stay out of a majority. If a clear majority forms without me I will hop off too. But I think I am a little safer than Mnk and Pranitha because I didn't say I haven't read any of the books, and because my insistance that my pregame comments prove my innocence has drawn some suspicion so the boss may think that is a reason to keep me around.
I voted for KB. I also agree with Aviator. I find it suspicious that Oddrey would assume themselves clear...
To answer your question, you can vote for yourself... I tried it a second ago then changed it to KB. But, do not vote for yourself! It will give the boss a free ticket because they can fire you and anyone else who voted for you if they wanted to without letting anyone get cleared. The round would be useless. Although, if you do vote for yourself, it is not for sure that you would get fired, but any smart boss would do so.
Edit - Oddrey you are not actually cleared. The Psych question asked about all Rick Riordan books in general and even though they spoke about this series, they only talked about the first book. While we can assume that when they said "I loved those books" they meant the series, it does not necessarily mean this series. It could have been any other books written by Rick Riordan. I could be wrong but that is what I thought when I read the memo.

I'll join the KB vote. A smart player might have not mentioned that they read the series in case they were the boss, but then again, no one expects to be.
Ooooooh! Nice!
Ooooooh! Nice!
That is very true. I personally am going to keep everyone under suspicion, not just those who have read the books.

Okay, here are the votes so far:
mirabill - KBColdfire
kzmonopoly - KBColdfire
Aviator - KBColdfire
KBColdfire - Jayo
Jayo - KBColdfire
Waylander - KBColdfire
hermy - KBColdfire
mnkgyl - KBColdfire
Pranitha - ?
Oddrey - KBColdfire
So without Pran we have 8 votes for KB...that's pretty solid to me!
Please correct me if I got any of these wrong.

I can sort of see how you think I could have twisted the truth to the answer given. But can we at least agree that Pranitha and Mnkgyl are about as cleared as one can be from a psych answer?
I really think they ought to stay out of the majority.

Maybe for the first few rounds, but later on we are going to need everyone, who isn't cleared, to get solid clears. Even if they do stay out of majorities, I still don't see them as cleared, at least not fully. I don't want that to be the reason the boss wins. I would still watch them. Falsely clearing someone could be our downfall. ( Wow... That sounded so dramatic )
Pranitha still has yet to show up...

Well like oddrey said, those who haven't read the books would be the prime candidates to get fired so I really don't know about joining majorities. I'll start joining majorities in round 3.
Right now, I'll just vote for Mira

I guess I will also stay out of majority this round. Funny doing that since I suggested clearing KB
With at least 5 actual votes on KB, we are headed for a solid clear. I hope everyone who can vote have voted as stated.
I will vote oddrey just because I am changing my vote on his suggestion
Every problem can be solved with a trick but finding that trick itself needs another trick.

Not sure if it's something important, but I noticed the boss spelled lightning wrong in the memo. Maybe the boss is younger or someone whose first language isn't English? Could just be a genuine mistake/typo but I'm just throwing that out there for now.
Queen stays queen, adios!
Queen stays queen, adios!
Well other than the spelling mistake, I find the boss to have pretty good grammar. And I guess everyone's English is good. I can only see that as a typo rather than that being how the boss actually spells it.
I agree with Pranitha...it's very unlikely that the boss actually spells lightning like that. It could also be an attempt to throw suspicion onto someone else though I doubt it. We're probably looking at the result of fast typing without the boss checking over their spelling...nothing wrong with that. Oh and Mira, Rick Riordan has written two other series that I know of. One is the Red Pyramid and the other is a Nordic series based on the gods of the Vikings. The Red pyramid was good and I haven't read the other series. I also agree with you on oddrey being cleared. No one is cleared until the majority of the votes is on them...by her saying that is very suspicious....I think I'm going to change my vote to oddrey.

Spelling in memo's / psyches can be intentional - when I was Boss previously I spelled as an American would to try to avoid suspicion but it didn't work! I'd dismiss spelling 'errors' and more look at the answers themselves

Okay so with the changes to the votes we have:
Mirabill - KBColdfire
Kzmonopoly - KBColdfire
Aviator - KBColdfire
KBColdfire - Oddrey
Jayo - KBColdfire
Waylander - KBColdfire
hermy - Oddrey
mnkgyl - KBColdfire
Pranitha - Mirabill
Oddrey - KBColdfire
So we have 7 votes for KBColdfire, 2 for Oddrey and 1 for Mirabill...do we have a solid clear for KBColdfire? If both boss and rat voted for KB then we only have 5, and doesn't the boss need more than 50% of votes to be fired? But anyway, pretty solid nonetheless!

Umm, just putting this idea out there for the next rounds...I'm getting a lot of rat vibes from oddrey. It seems he trying to keep key people out of the majorities for some reason... Any thoughts?

I also got rat vibe from oddrey that she might be giving the boss ideas as to who are the best people to fire but doing that so early in the round doesn't make sense for a rat. And please tell me where did Pranitha write that she hasn't read the series. She seemed confused regarding the characters AFAIK.
As for the voting, the boss and the rat don't vote. They just stare their votes. So, only the employees' votes are accounted for which are 8 for this round. So, 5/8 votes are enough to fire the boss. And when we create a majority in someone, we assume them to be the boss. So, while counting the votes in that person, we should reduce at max one vote, i.e., of the rat. If that person is not the boss, the game won't end when the voting ends, just like now. KB is most likely cleared but the firings should give a better picture.

Thanks mnkgyl! I was thinking 5/10 not 5/8, that would make more sense! But why wouldn't we reduce another vote for the boss...wouldn't they join a majority too?

I debated whether it was a good idea to bring up that Mnkgyl and Pranitha should stay out of a majority because if they didn't then I just gave strategy tips to the boss. I but then I decided to give you all some credit I am sure you are all smart enough to think of that yourselves anyway if you were the boss.
And so rarely are psych answers so helpful got excited that we could already knock a few people off the suspect list, but clearly not everyone agrees that we can do so and I see how it is suspicious when one of those people is me.
I almost hope the boss fires me so you guys don't get too distracted being suspicious of me and end up losing the game because of my posts this round. But the plus side of being found suspicious is I will almost certainly get to keep playing for a few rounds

Yeah...I have feeling you're not an employee oddrey, EVEN if you say you are. Giving tips to the boss makes me believe that you are probably the rat, you might also be the boss but I am leaning more toward rat. If you are the rat you might want to be careful what you post as you may give away the boss's identity on accident and that will pose a great threat to the boss and they will look for an opportunity to fire you. Just sit back and relax, you don't need to defend yourself so much, you'll enjoy the game more if you just have fun and go with the flow!

Kb, I am having fun! The fun is in the debates! Where is the fun in sitting back and relaxing? And I am not the rat (Or boss) the truth will come out on that eventually. In the meantime, I am in it to win it for the employees, so you wont see me going with the flow unless I like where the flow is going.
