Ouch.
Shall we try again??
Edit... as to the hints... Potter is obvious.. quizzes.
Button was in reference to his button thing in his wiki.
Next I was planning on something to do with the Geocaching... but I was thinking Landmarks or somesuch.
Downright creepy how quick you guys nailed him... good job to all...

Yeah.
I stink when I'm the boss...
Especially when phrebh's playing.
Anyways, what did me in? My firings? I even tried to analyze my own Psych questions! What's the point of psych questions if they don't seem to matter anyways...
As for the puzzles, I think to be fair(er), there should have to be three or four people. Some of us aren't on Braingle every minute.
Good game guys!

Thanks for the feedback Matt.
If there's enough interest and I do this madness again I'll definately think about tweaking the rules.

Honestly, PM, I thought the rounds were a little long...but the puzzles were great, even though I only got one letter in. Great game!
Come what may.
Come what may.
I loved it but I do agree the rounds might be a little long but other than that I think it was the most rewarding WTB game I have played (expecially since I voted for the boss and was included in the winner circle for the first time )
great game everyone I to think the rounds could have been shorter.

Dude, I totally nailed you!
I was starting to doubt myself, too. I'm glad I stuck with it.
See, coolguy? The most obvious scenario was right...for a change.

Sorry Matt. Tried my best to take the heat off of you.
Nice game
I totally liked it.

Great game everyone. I can't believe we nailed the Boss so quickly. I'm glad I joined the majority because what phrebh said made sense. Sorry Boss Matt!
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

This was a great game, Piney! I had a lot of fun, even though I was at work every time the puzzle came out. And I was in the winner's circle! Yay!!!!!
I'm glad to see so much postive feedback! WOOT!
I've got to do some tinkering... I won't start the game without the puzzles ready to go.
So I'll get to work on that... maybe signups can start Friday or Saturday??
Changes??
Shorter Rounds
Wheel Puzzle Guessing... hmmm how do I word that?
Instead of being allowed to guess every other time, it's not every third?
Or... once you've posted a guess you must wait for two other people to before you can guess again?
HELP... I don't want that to be uber confusing.

How about something like "two guesses per person per day"? (with "two" increasing as more people get fired, and day as in actual 24-hour period, not game round)
Because, if there are more than three people online at once then the whole puzzle will get solved really fast (even with the "every third post" rule and people who weren't on when the puzzle was posted still won't be able to have a chance.
I can't think of anything interesting to put here. Sorry.

Well, if we do that 2/day AND try to decrease the rounds to 1 day... well then the puzzles might not be solved at all.
So, I don't know how to address both problems but to change the # of posts between guesses.

How about everyone gets to guess one letter and can't guess another until every has, but anyone can jump in with the answer at any time, even if they've already guessed their letter.

Bear with me... thinking as typing...
That might work... but again... there's the risk that only 1 (or 2-3) would log on in a given day.
If I shorten the rounds to 1 day that could prove fatal...
Of course, if I stuck the Last Round Winner's Hint in the opening post,
rather than in the Psyche question then I'd have a bit more time...
Since Psyche stuff is locked once the "Day" is over.
But... still... esp in early rounds not every player logs in... what if we meet halfway?
Guess your letter, then you have to wait until 1/2 the players guess one?
Start with 20 means that 10 other players have to guess...
Meaning 11 players MINIMUM work the puzzle in the opening round....
That'd be a huge improvement... but not insane.
Remember that there's only 26 letters total in the alphabet...
What do you think?
That guarantees that at least 1/2 the players get to play no matter the time it's posted?
Proposed Changes... feedback please...
Players must wait until 1/2 players have posted before guessing again.
Continue posting new rounds & puzzles between 5-9pm Braingle Time.
Put Hints in next round's opening post so puzzle guessing can run into "night"
**Wait... can players post during "night" I know it says Voting Ended... but is it locked like TWG?
I really need to know this before I can commit to changing things!!
Crud.

Players can still post during the off times in current round's discussion. It is not locked like TWG's.
And I like where you're going with this.

PHEW... that could work then.
Must wait until 1/2 remaining players post a letter or guess before you get seconds.
Guessing can run until the memo is approved... meaning until I start it, so that's quite a bit.
Put the Winner's Puzzle Hint in the opening post for the next round along with the new puzzle.
And change rounds to last only 1 day...
Anything else y'all can think of?

nope I created a new WTB game so I might not play in the next game. I created a WTB so I can experience being a mod of one. I have made many attempts to start a WTB but they all ended up with canceling the game becuase nobody would join. I hope I don'y have to do it with this one as well.

I'm still trying to get my envelope... and wolf... so I think I'll sign on with yours.
Unfortunately modding doesn't count as playing... even though you do have the role of psyche.
Once I'm booted from your game I'll start the next WoF WTB... plenty of time to think up and make puzzles!
