Who's The Boss
Game #3220: Simple WTB

This game finished in 6 rounds.
Welcome to this simple and straightforward game of Who's the Boss!
The only twist I might add is an ongoing theme in my memo questions and the first person to guess what the theme is gets a boss clue (and if the boss/rat gets it first, then the clue is flushed), but I'm not sure about that yet. I guess, is that something y'all would like to see or would you prefer just to play a no frills game?
This is my first time modding so if I screw something up, don't judge me harshly
Queen stays queen, adios!

Hi everyone
This is my first game of Who's the boss.
So can you explain me what it is all about
This is my first game of Who's the boss.
So can you explain me what it is all about
Thanks for starting a new game Hermy! I like the clue twist, I vote to keep it.
It's great to have you SiriusBlack! Who's The Boss (WTB) is about the employees firing the boss through a majority vote or the Boss firing all the employees without getting caught! When we get the last person signed up, you are assigned a role: Boss, Rat or Employee. The Boss's job is to post a memo each round, really anything they want, and answer the psych question the moderator puts out. The Boss always has to answer it honestly! This gives the employees hints but it can also confuse them...so if you're the Boss, use the psych to your advantage!
When the round begins, the Boss tries to blend in as much as they can. Everyone will say that they are voting for someone, the Boss also states a vote, but they don't actually vote, they just try to act like the employees. If the Boss receives more than 50% of the votes, they will be fired and the employees win. But if the Boss fires all the employees, then the Boss wins the game!
The Boss receives a firing list every round, they fire employees each round from this list. If any employee votes for someone who has the majority of the votes (the candidate) then they are called a lemming and are put on the firing list at the end of the round. If you vote for the Boss, you cannot be on the firing list. Every round the firing list is reset, so once you are a lemming for a round, you don't get put back on the list unless you are a lemming again for the current round.
The Rat's job is to throw suspicion around on everyone except the Boss. The Rat knows who the Boss is, but the Boss doesn't know who the rat is unless the rat is put on the firing list for not doing their job. If the Boss gets 25% of votes, the rat is put on the firing list as: username, but if the Boss gets 33% of the votes then the rat is put on the list as : username (rat). If the Boss chooses to fire the rat, then they risk not having any back-up for the last rounds.
The Rat will 'hack the network' each round. They just have to push 'hack the network' before the voting round ends. If they fail to hack the network, then they will be put on the firing list. If the rat succeeds in hacking the network before the round ends, then they receive the voting list at the end of the round, this shows how everyone voted in the current round.
If you are an employee, your job is to catch the Boss by communicating with your fellow employees (with the Boss and Rat in the mix) and try to clear someone each round by majority vote. If someone is cleared, then they received more than 50% of the votes, so they cannot be the Boss. They don't get fired for being cleared, just proven innocent. Cleared people try to stay out of majority votes, otherwise the boss will fire any innocent people to maintain suspicion on others. It's good to try to clear as many people as possible, but watch out, the Boss and Rat are also saying that they are voting, even though they are not, so you need a lot of votes and participation to get a solid clear!
Try to dissect the memo and psych question for clues, but keep in mind that everyone (including Boss and Rat) will be posting throughout the voting round, so be discerning when listening to others!
If you fail to vote before the round ends, then you become a mandatory firing. Meaning you will automatically be fired. Each voting round is typically 1 day, but sometimes it can be longer. The time remaining on the voting round will be posted on the Voting/Memo page.
If you need anymore details or don't understand something, please contact the moderator!!! I also suggest reading the rules above!
If you have any questions about anything in this post feel free to ask! But try to ask before the game starts and we get assigned our roles.

Hi Hermy! Mind if I join? I think the boss clue idea is really cool but to chose a theme? Out of the millions of themes out there? That's going to be pretty hard.
Do we get to guess several times or just once?
I want to be so full of Christ that when a mosquito bites me, he flies away singing "there's power in the blood!"

I like the memo theme idea. Go for it.
Ooooooh! Nice!
Ooooooh! Nice!
Hey - I will be Boss again

Hey Hermy! Nice to see just a simple game. The memo theme idea sounds great!
fear my cuteness.
fear my cuteness.
But the question is, will the clue be public? Or just the person who guesses right will get it.
Nonetheless I'm excited to play with you guys!

Thanks y'all for the feedback. I think I have a decent theme going now so I'll stick with that. I've also gotten really invested into this so I've also created two clues that'll help with finding the theme. I'm still debating whether or not to use them, though, since I don't want them to go to waste but I also don't want to give the employees too much help and I'm not sure how obvious they are.
@Aisha, I'll send the clue via PM but the person can choose to share it if they want
Hopefully we'll get a 10th player by the time I wake up today!
Queen stays queen, adios!

How will we come to know are role?
Plz Plz tell me how will we come to know who we are?
Great to see that we've got 10 now! I just sent out the psych question and hopefully the boss will send it back soon.
@SiriusBlack Look at the blue box underneath everyone's names. If you are the boss, it should say there right now. If you are an employee, it won't tell you until round 1 begins. I'm not sure about rat but I'm pretty sure you'll see if you are the rat right now. If you have any other questions about this PM me and I can help you more

It started!
Sirius-It will show, You are the rat on your voting screen. You also cannot vote. Also, it's good to have a saftey vote locked in, even if you don't have a suspect, to make sure you are not a mandatory and if there is a majority, you might want to join it to clear people (make certain they are not the boss) if you are an employee of course. You'll learn as you go.
Ooooooh! Nice!
