Well that's good news
It is confirmed then that doubleugh is the rat. And Tommy is cleared that rapscallion
My vote for shaidar remains.

The rat could have been Smeraldina or Witty right? Meaning that one of them said they were voting for Tommy, but in reality did not -- let's look at this.
Recap:
doubleugh -- Witty -- (fired)
empy -- nanobriga
nanobriga -- Smeraldina
shaidar9haran -- *no vote
Smeraldina -- Tommy -- (fired)
strategery -- shaidar
Tommy290 -- Empy
WittyKitty -- Tommy -- (fired)
I think the psych question rules out shaidar (as he put down sports first in interests)
Added: Okay, the Rat can only be fired if he doesn't hack into the network or if the Boss has received 25% or more of the votes -- There were only 6 voters (Rat & Boss don't vote) so, if the Boss got two votes that would be over 25% of the votes. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but Shaidar would be fired if he didn't vote. And, he can't be fired if he voted for the boss.

Now as RAT is no more in this game, don't you guys want to know whom the previous round hint was referring to?
It was referring to Strategery....
Now can anybody link the relationship between Strategery and the pic given in previous round?

I have absolutely no clue -- do tell!
Of the three fired this round, doubleugh certainly seems the most likely to have been the rat, but I'm not so sure that it's confirmed. fantoosh, can we know the identity of the rat now that he/she is out of the game?
No idea as to the Strategery-photo connection.

OKay from the pysch answer and the firings Tommy is cleared... Right now I want to say nono or strat... Empy just doesn't seem to fit.
Is Tommy cleared for sure? Maybe I'm overthinking this -- but, again -- isn't it possible that Smeraldina or Witty was the rat and their stated vote of TOMMY meant nothing -- because there were only two stated votes for Tommy -therefore, if one of those two were the rat then there was only one stated vote for Tommy. See what I mean?
Yes, one of that pair may have been the rat, but why would the other lie about voting for Tommy?

Only the rat would have to lie - it's possible that there was only 1 vote for anyone across the board --then it would be a tie and the Boss would have been able to fire any one of us except for any who voted for the Boss.
But, according to your own list, both Smeraldina and WittyKitty voted for Tommy. Are you saying that the non-rat simply forgot to tell us of a vote change or that one of the pair forgot to lock in the vote?

Since two people voted for me, it can be assumed that one of them was a normal employee. Since a person can't be fired if they're voting for the boss, I can't be the boss because I couldn't have fired the normal employee voting for me.
At least I think that's how the game works.
As for the clue, strat's name came from an SNL skit that was mocking G.W. Bush and his misstated words (instead of strategy he says strategery). The political cartoon, it appears to me, has something to do with the terrorist attacks of 9/11. I can't figure out the Jewish character, but there appear to be the twin towers along with planes crashing into them. As everyone knows, Bush is at the center of the "war on terror" and thus the cartoon seems to be referencing him. I could be way off on this, but that's my theory.
Now, something interesting is that I'm pretty sure Strat is a Washington Redskins fan. I'll have to figure out where I saw it. If it's not in a public page, then it can't be used for evidence, correct? I don't want to cheat.

Okay, this is just a theory -- and I am even confusing myself - but, I'll try to explain -- from the recap.
doubleugh -- Witty -- (fired)
empy -- nanobriga
nanobriga -- Smeraldina
shaidar9haran -- *no vote *must've voted or else is boss, for this theory let's say he voted for doubleugh
Smeraldina -- Tommy -- (fired) -- *say she really did vote for tommy
strategery -- shaidar
Tommy290 -- Empy
WittyKitty -- Tommy -- (fired) *say this was rat and didnt' vote
So -- the above scenario would have each of us voting for 1 player. But, in that case - I guess the Boss would've fired everyone (except the person who voted for boss) -- but, boss would still win right?
Okay, I concede that Tommy is probably clear. I think I was overthinking this. But, I think that shaidar is also clear because of answer to psych question.

Okay, now that I re-read this post -- I am in agreement That Tommy is cleared. I also believe Shaidar is cleared. In my mind that leaves strat or empy -- and I believe empy is not the boss, so I will vote for Strat for now. I will let you know if I change my vote. )

I'm not completely convinced it's not Shaidar. If I were to change my vote, and I'm not... just yet... it would be to nano - too many red flags - but she has only played 2 other games and based on the scenario here I don't think it's her.

Good luck finding that, because you won't. Now, me being a Chiefs fan you can find many places Have I bragged yet that they beat the Broncos Sunday? (I need to rub that in as much as I can since it was a surprise to even me) I'm not completely convinced it's not Shaidar.

Hmmm... I just checked, and you're very correct about being a Chiefs fan. Darn, I really thought I was on to something.
EDIT: Ok, well, there aren't many people left. I will trust that strat didn't lie in the psych answer. So that leaves empy, shaidar, and nano... Hmmm...
EDIT #2: I've done some research, and here's what I have. I'm a Lions fan. Strat is a Chiefs fan. Shaidar is in Massachusetts and would probably be shot if he likes anyone besides the Patriots. Empy is Canadian, so could be a Redskins fan. Nano is on the West Coast, and definitely could be a Redskins fan. I'm of the opinion that the boss doesn't sound like empy, so I'm really leaning towards nano.
EDIT #3: Strat, you really should stop posting in purple. You're supposed to be typing in green.

Okay, based on last two posts I'll have to go with Empy. changing my vote. I will let you know if I change my mind again.
edited to add blue
Added: does anyone agree with me that shaidar can't be boss based on sports being listed first in his interests? I suppose he could've lied there - but would you go that far??

Darn you you ragamuffin and your purple-ness!
Good point about Shaidar and MA. That makes sense to switch away from him then and to someone else. PLUS I have done some Sports Forum research and he is definitely a Red Sox fan. Also he chose the Patriots for his 2007 super bowl prediction.
Empy has the experience to play this way, but I'm not convinced she would take the drastic measure of this many misspellings or firing the rat.
Nano it is. BAH!! The green-eyed monster was distracted by the purple rage... but has returned. Have at you!!!

Since there are two stated votes for me -- I can only hope that shaidar (or, if I'm wrong about him empy) will not vote for me. Otherwise, the boss will win because I'll be the only employee left. FYI -- you probably won't believe me but I am not a sports fan.
I am basing my vote on your knowledge -- and it leads me to empy.
Currently votes are:
strat votes for nano
nano votes for empy
tommy *leaning toward nano (is that your vote?)
shaidar -- no vote yet (we need to hear from you)
empy -- no vote yet (we need to hear from you)

Humm!!! Currently I can make out that your thinking tanks are firing a lot. I'll not reveal the identity of RAT in this round, but surely I'll do in next round
Tommy your explaination about the previous round clue is correct. Strat joining date is also 9/11,

Yes, nano is my vote unless something big comes up.
There are 5 players. One must be the boss, so there are 4 employees. If Tommy and myself are voting for Nano, that would be 50% of the votes. Unfortunately, the game has not ended.pppsssst its GREEEEEEN, GREEEEEEEN as far as the eye can see!! *ducks and hides to escape the purple people eater*
Unless the math is inaccurate, I suggest you vote empy next round.

Okay, I'll be voting for empy. Thanks for all the tips -- sorry if you get fired. I wanted to try and convince you that I wasn't the boss, but I knew that the more I protested that I was not the boss, the more you would suspect that I was.
Uh oh. Does that mean I'm about to go bye-bye? Drat!

It's a game where you can be a vampire or werewolf. Then you hunt and such to gain levels. It's pretty neat. I started the Braingle Vampire Clan. Obviously, you'd have to choose to be a vampire to be in it. I've converted a couple Brainglers so far, but there's always room for more!
