NOTE: New Rounds and Wheel Puzzles will happen between 4pm and 9pm Braingle Time.
Welcome to the first Wheel of Fortune Who's The Boss.
Here's is your first Wheel Puzzle.... Category: Before & After
Guessed Letters: E A O R T
Scoreboard:
Trill - 100E +0R + 0S + 400C = 500 + 300 SOLVING BONUS = 800
Kethry - 500L = 500
Zjm - 100A +200O + 0N + 100F = 400
Kubesh - 200T + 200H = 400
Players will guess letters, worth 100 points per occurance.
The player who solves the puzzle will be awarded 300 points.
No player may guess twice in a row.
You may guess a letter, or take a stab at the puzzle, but not both in a single post.
At the end of the round the points will be tallied, and the player with the most is the winner.
If the player who won the puzzle is an Employee, then a clue to the Boss's ID will be posted.
If the player who won the puzzle is the Boss, then a clue to the Rat's ID will be posted.
If the player who won the puzzle is the Rat, then a false clue to the Rat's ID will be posted.
NOTE: If a post is edited any WoF guesses in it will be ignored. This is to prevent anyone from changing a previously made letter guess post to solve the puzzle and log in an earlier time. If you need to change your post, instead double post, ask to disregard the previous one and enter your new letter/puzzle guess. And please remember that in WoF Typos Matter.
The first post needs to be saved for the Wheel Puzzle.
If you post first, and it's not anything of content please be understanding if I delete it.
This is the easiest way to make the Wheel Puzzle the most accessible to all.... just hit HOME to jump back up!
Also, even if deleted it still shows who got the official first post... for those who're competitive like that.
That said... Let the games begin!

Was that really necessary? I'm assuming you have Internet Explorer, where excessively large text is resized. Could you please remove the Big tags? Each letter takes up about one full screen in my browser.

Don't feel bad Fwed... same happens to me!
If it's any consolation I didn't think to look at the Who's Online before approving the Boss Memo...
I should have shot for 0 players on... or as many as possible... one or the other.
Tricky. I would pick a time... say after supper... but I know that this Friday that would be hard to keep.
The kids' school is having a big hullabaloo... hmmm.
I suppose I could say I won't post it within ____ and ____ time period.... what do y'all think?
We have until the next round starts to figure this out... what time would be easiest for the most players?
Keeping in mind that I'm at work from 10:30-2... then to the school until 3:30 M-F please!!

Trill, do you have some sort of color code for cleared players?
I think I'll fish vote. But I'll have to think about it.

Wow! I just came back from an afternoon of running errands and find the puzzle has already been solved and voting has begun! I guess I'll have to be quicker next time.
So Trill, why am I on your higher suspicion list? I'm going to fish vote for Trill because I do not want to be in a majority this early in the game.
Edited to bold Trill's name.

I'm going to randomly vote for guamgirl.
For your Handy-Dandy Suspect List, are there only two colors? And how did you decide on who's the most suspicious?
Come what may.

No I missed it apparently but I will check when I get home. Leaving work now to go get the two youngsters
I voting for trill. Because he made a suspect list and has no explaination as to why he thinks some people are suspects and some are not.

"Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again." ~ Saint Augustine
My suspect list was just my opinion of people who might answer the psych question as the Boss did. I basically made the list because I was bored. Ignore it if you want. It'll just help me remember who I think the Boss is. (Edit: I deleted it because it wasn't helpful at all, anyway. Suspect lists are normally more helpful towards the end of the game, with less players.)

I'm gonna keep the four people that guessed letters for the puzzle on a short list, assuming that the boss was around for the start of the round. For now though, I'm voting myself til something becomes more evident.
Fish voting for Phrebh . . . .
Well, looks like someone else has decided to vote for phrebh, and I don't want to be in a majority. So, I'm changing my vote for rainbowboy . . . . . I DON"T WANT TO BE IN A MAJORITY!

Voting for phrebh.
Reasoning: The boss's memo mentions a fondness for games requiring skill. Chess is probably the game on Braingle that requires the most skill, and phrebh has the highest Chess score out of all our players. He also has excellent scores in several other Braingle games, which tells me that he's both competitive and skilled.

You know, people can say they voted for one person, but then vote for someone else. So you might not really know who people vote for especially me. Because I may say I'm voting for one person but in reality I'm voting for some one else. I do this just for fun, and to throw people off. But it doesn't mean I did it this time....or maybe I did. It depends on how much you guys trust me...

I'm not sure who I'm voting for yet, but it looks like we have plenty of time left. I'll check back tomorrow.

i am fish voting lucky thirteen
I only have the highest chess score because I've been here nearly the longest (and fish and froggy focus on other things). Not that I'm not competitive, I'm just not that skilled at chess.

I don't know who to vote for right now, but since I have almost a day and a half to decide, I'll probably wait until tomorrow to do so.

As far as I'm concerned, there's only 2 players that have reason to lie about their voting intentions. . . . the boss and the rat. Otherwise, it's not helping fellow employees at all . . . . and that's the object of the game, to help each other out, so the boss and rat can be found out.

I agree with Snowy.
I've fish voted KP52 a few posts back. However, if he's admitting to being unreliable, this will make it difficult to clear players. So, I feel we should vote him off.

Placing yourself in a majority this early is dangerous though. Could find yourself in a Lemming. . . I don't think I wanna do that at this point.

Well, we could if he was the boss though, right? But it's highly unlikely we'd get the boss in the first round. . . so that's why forming majorities are not a good idea at this point.
Take all sorrow out of life and you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur. It is the furnace that melts hearts together in love.

We need a voting list so it's easier to find fish vote targets...
About this first round: It's likely that everyone will vote for someone different, causing something called a "MoO vote" ("majority of one vote"). This means that everyone except the boss and rat will be on the firing list. Not good. The best way is to form a small majority (say 3 votes or so - 2 votes isn't boss/rat-proof enough IMO), so hardly anyone gets fired, and the boss doesn't get lots of choice of who to fire, the boss doesn't find out who his rat is, and we have a slight chance of finding the boss. Unfortunately this requires that "3 or so" players sacrifice themselves, which isn't going to happen. If we do end up with a MoO vote, then avoid voting circles. The smallest is 2 people:
X votes Y
Y votes X
If neither X nor Y are boss/rat, the boss can fire both of them, and we learn nothing.
And the largest bad voting circle is 5 people:
A votes B
B votes C
C votes D
D votes E
E votes A
The boss can fire all of them, assuming none of them are boss/rat, (20 player games have 5 firings in the first round, right?) and we learn nothing. A voting circle bigger than 5 people is safe, since the boss can only fire 5 people (?), so someone will always be cleared.
Another possibility is that we have more than 5 mandatories. This was a private game so I doubt that's likely, but in that case we should all vote for one player. That gives us a 1/20 chance of instantly winning, and if we aren't that lucky, we'll still clear someone. If we don't find the boss, it doesn't matter that we formed a majority, since 5 people already got fired.
Oh and KP, NEVER EVER LIE ABOUT YOUR VOTE. EVER. Unless you're boss/rat, obviously. When most people interpret firings they make the assumption that no employees lie about their votes, and just account for the boss/rat lying.
BTW, I live in South Africa, where they show neither Wheel of Fortune nor Jeopardy. Take that for what it's worth.
I will fish vote for: dolphingurl12.
This is the first of what will probably be many insanely long posts from me.
I can't think of anything interesting to put here. Sorry.

I'm changing my vote for phrebh. Just for everyones information I only lie in some whos the boss games. But I'm not doing it in this one. Because I know how pineapplemama feels about it. Also I realized that probably people wiould get mad I did it. In fact I regret even saying that I do lie about my vote. Becuase I wasn't planning on lying about my vote in this game. Again sorry for any anger, stress or hard feellings that I created for being stupid and saying something that I rarely do. It really depends on how well I know the mod. If I know the mod really well then I don't lie about my vote. Bit sometimes, when I don't know the mod, I do it for the fun of it. But since I know the mod in this game I'm not doing it. I'm voting for who I say I am voting for and that's final, no tricks here. Please except my apology, I normally don't lie in real life. But sometimes I get competitive in games and forget about my true character.

Hey, head's up for those who didn't hear... if there's a tied majority the computer randomly selects one to be The Majority. Just like in Werewolf... if there's a tie it's a toss up to see who's shot.
Same thing here. If there's two (non boss of course) majorities, then ONE is selected and those voters are the lemmings.
Much better than if 2 tied majorities ALL those voters being on the list.
So, if everyone votes for someone different there won't be 18 tied majorities of 1.
The puter will randomly select one of those 18 to be The Majority and that voter is the Lemming.
-Note, I say 18 because 20 players total, and the Boss and Rat don't count.
Thanks KP... I've always figured that any Non-Boss/Rat player who lies about their vote is just wanting the Boss to win. Because once they get fired the person they claim to have voted for is cleared... instead of the person they actually voted for. If you claimed to have voted for Bob... but really voted for Joe... well Bob gets cleared. Which, if Bob is the Boss pretty well screws up the whole game.
Keep that in mind folks... if I catch y'all trying to sabotage my game (and thus my mod rating) I won't be happy.
That doesn't apply to the Rat/Boss obviously... they have to lie about their vote or be caught in Round One.
Fractions are romantic.

That's what makes me a good boss. That's why I say It depends on the game, I'm in. But I'm not the boss, I haven't been the boss or the rat in a long time.

If you use to lie once in a while, in past games, when you weren't the boss or rat, you can simply say that you use to lie once in a while, but you don't now. It's up to everyone to determine whether to believe you or not. I don't know you well at all . . .but I think you are sincere in saying that you are sorry for saying it. Problem with not posting an honest intention when you're an employee, is that it's hard to be taken seriously . . . . . and you're always under suspicion. . . . . this sets you up to get the boot early, or worse, peeps will avoid games with you. I doubt the latter would happen, as you seem like a nice fella. It's important for the employees to work as a team . . . . . now, if you're ever a boss or rat - then lying is kinda expected and respected. After all, the boss and rat are trying to win as well . . . . . and they don't have a group of players on their side. I wouldn't worry about it. It was said. . . . you explained why you said it. . . and as far as I'm concerned, it's over. No biggie.

thanks, I tend to do little "test" sometimes even in real life. Just to see how people react. But In real life I can indicate it some how that It's not serious, I forgot that it's harder to tell the difference when there's no facial expressions to help out.

I do hope that we can all function as a team now. As everyone has already said, it is highly important for us to be able to believe each other, with the exception the boss and the rat.
Everyone seems to want to do the MoO. I will go along with that. It looks like Snowy doesn't have any votes yet, so I'll vote for her. I don't want her to feel left out. I got your back buddy!
Speaking of Snowy, how much snow do you have now? It snowed the entire time that I was at work last night. When I walked out to my truck, the snow in the parking lot was way up over my ankles. I made it home okay, but I had to put it in 4 wheel drive. The roads were very slick.

How is it that you sound so innocent, but yet so guilty at the same time?
Who!!!
As for snow, on the ground, we have over a foot. . . . it snowed all morning, got a few more inches. . . no biggie. The roads are clear, that's all that matters.
Oh, and thanks for the vote. . . . I feel so special . . . . .

Well, so far the only Time Stamp Info I've gotten is that Middle of the Nights isn't good.
Given my schedule, plus that, it leaves possible Memo Approval/Puzzle Posting
Monday-Friday
8am-10:30am & 3:30pm-90pm
Saturday and Sunday are pretty open, but I like to sleep in.
Figure 9am-9pm on those days.
OR, would y'all rather limit it to just the 3:30pm-90pm for ALL Days time slot?

Sorry PineappleMama, I'm not sure, but I don't think this is completely accurate. I think Jake may have misspoke in your WTB topic in the Bugs/Reports forum. According to my experience as a WTB mod, the lemmings voting in both majorities are on the firing list. In my last game, I created a voting list for players to vote and form two equal majorities, and when the round ended, I saw all the votes and the firing list. Both sets of lemmings were on the optional firing list.Same thing here. If there's two (non boss of course) majorities, then ONE is selected and those voters are the lemmings.

Okay... how about I limit new round's starting to ALL DAYS 4pm-9pm Braingle Time (that'd be Central)
Will that at least work for the majority of people?
I can't promise what days it'll fall on because it depends on when each round ends, boss gives me the memo, etc.
As to the Lemming Question....

Maybe we should just make one majority then.

Well, so long as everyone votes, and shares their vote honestly, then there will never be a mandetory.
So, no matter who is fired a suspect can be cleared.
And, again... if someone votes for you don't flip out... it's not YOUR neck on the line, but theirs...
and then when they're fired you're clear... so that's good.

Hey guys, sorry for not posting. I've been pretty busy. I'm going to fish vote for snowmonster.
Okay, I'm putting my vote back on Trill because my later post when I changed to snowy was not shown on the list and I'm still showing as voting for Trill. Also, now that guamgirl has taken snowy thinking that she was one of the players who did not receive a vote yet, it leaves me with Trill. So, once again, I'm voting for Trill to avoid a majority.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

I have know clue how I'm suspicious. But, oh well what ever floats your boat, kubesh.

Well, phrebh and I have 2 votes each . . . . we could get cleared, right? Those voting for us are in a majority though, so watch to see what happens to them.

I never knew there was a way to clear both people at once.
As to the timings I dont know how to relate braingle time to my time.
So I cant say whether its ok or no for me
I think thats all I have to say for now.
Later then.
Bye
Just asking suppose I changed my vote to trill and Either I or froggygg is fired will she too be cleared.
BTW my vote is unchanged.
I am just asking a question

Ok, so one of us could get cleared. I'm still asleep. . . . if any that voted for either of us is fired, then it's a clearing. Unfortunately, there's always at least an inactive or two the first couple rounds - and they go first. . . . . so the boss may not have a chance to fire anyone that may vote in a majority. At least not yet. . . . we'll see though.

I like the style of the list.

If 1-2 of each are fired then both are cleared.
Since the one absolute rule on voting is that if you vote for the boss you're safe.
But remember... mandetories must be fired, but Lemmings don't.
That's the OPTIONAL firing list... with a maximum, not minimum number of fires.
The boss can choose not to fire a single one, and thus not clear any suspects.

I didn't know the boss didn't have to fire people if they could fire people off of the optional firing list. I knew that you had know choice with a mandatory firing, but I thought you had to fire someone from the optional firing list if you could. I didn't know the boss could choose to only fire mandatories.

Nope, and that one I do know from personal experience.
It was down to the last round or two, and I COULD fire 1 person....
But, if I fired that person then the one they voted for would have been cleared.
Leaving Me (Boss) + the Rat + 1 Non-Cleared + 1 Cleared
I thought about it and realized it would be a HUGE mistake to fire the person....
Because... vote wise that would have left only 2 voters... meaning that 1 vote = 50%
Meaning that if one of those two players voted for me I was canned and lost.
So, instead I left that player in as a suspect.... so it was Me, Rat, and 3 Non-Cleared suspects.
That way I would have had to get 2 votes to hit the 50% or more needed to get fired...
Do you see what I mean??

Actually, I believe you have to get MORE THAN 50% of the votes to get fired as the boss. So if there are 7 votes, you need 4 (nothing special here); if there are 8, you need 5 (4 is exactly 50%, which is too small). That's why I sometimes talk about "51% majorities".
I do quite like our voting list right now, though. Three majorities means that at least one is real (i.e. don't have a boss/rat fake vote in it, meaning it's not an actual majority), so I know I'm safe. And, if the boss wants to fire more than 2 people, he'll have to clear more than one person.
I can't think of anything interesting to put here. Sorry.

According to the rules, only 50% is needed. In the days of the game in the forum, 51% was needed.

Hmmm... most people are going with a MoO strategy. Except for the three small majorities at the top of the list. However, I didn't really want to be in a majority. I don't really feel that Snowy is the boss, I was just fish voting. While it would be nice to hopefully clear someone this way, I'm not willing to put my head on the chopping block just yet. If I had a hunch or something, I might not care to do so. That's not the case this time though. So, I'm changing my vote to kvthegreat. I don't believe he has any votes yet.
The rules say:
Phrebh, do you know from experience that it's otherwise? In which case, we should tell Jake so he can fix it. It's just one word...
A MoO vote is actually a really bad strategy for the first round, but no individual is likely to make a majority based off nothing unless they know they won't get fired (e.g. if there's loads of mandatories).

The Boss must receive more than 50% of the votes to be fired.

Well it's not called the "optional firing list" for nothing. A MoO vote is actually a really bad strategy for the first round, but no individual is likely to make a majority based off nothing unless they know they won't get fired (e.g. if there's loads of mandatories).

No, I just read it wrong.

About when can we expect the next puzzle to be put up?
The start of next round, probably.
Please remember to lock your vote in. Sometimes people intend to vote but forget to, and end up on the mandatory firing list.

This side of the round will end at about 5pm today...
Then the buck gets passed to the boss.... to answer the question, fire (if any), and make a memo.
Then the buck comes back to me... when I approve the memo is when Round 2 starts.
I've decided, since the wheel puzzle is competitive to the game, to limit starting rounds and new puzzles
to that window between 4 and 9pm Braingle Time.
If the Boss happens to get all their stuff done and sent to me by 9 then I'll go ahead and start the next round.
If the memo isn't sent to me until after 9, then I'll wait until tommorow's window to start the new round.
I'm hoping by limiting the window (instead of just saying anytime day or night) that folks will have a more even shot of being on when it's posted. And that means having an equal shot at racking up points and winning.

Tomorrow night and possibly all of Saturday I will be gone, so I could get fired in the next round.

well if that's so than you would be clear because you couldn't answer the question, so you would be cleared, but if you are on tomorrow than i'm suspisice

It's now after 9, so the next Round won't start until at least 4pm tommorow.
Depending of course on whether I get the Memo by then, and whether a catastrophe strikes.

Are there any mandatories.?
No way for players to know... that's why inactives are so annoying.
They get fired, but because you don't know who (if) they voted for you can't clear a suspect.
That's why I tell everyone to come in ASAP and lock in a vote, and post about it.
Then you cannot be a mandetory... ever.
AND you can always change your vote anytime until the voting timer dings...
Just be sure to post that you changed of course.

I dont tink there are any mandatories cause all of the people have signed in either yesterday or today
So unless anyone forgot to save their votes no mandatories should come
