Who's The Boss
Game #1: Who's the Boss
This game is moderated by Jake. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 6 rounds.
Another sub-voter torpedoed ... this answer tends to point away from our "student" players, but I'll bet most of them have part-time or summer job with slackers and supervisors. I'm not ready to give up on them just yet. At least we have 68 hours to "think" about it! I might stick with matt or switch. Have to cogitate a bit on it. A couple other sub-voters were overlooked for firing. I'm on a "long" break from slackers and supervisors and really am looking to throw myself back amongst that great experience. It is the price you pay for the bucks to play.

Well Bo, maybe trot didn't vote for paul. His last post said either you or paul. My thoughts are that he voted for you. As you say, KK and I have both said we are voting for paul and we are both still here. Until I'm fired or someone gives me something concrete, I'm not switching! My vote is for the man who lives under the sea - subman!!!
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

This has got me wondering. Like you Hobo, I'm not ready to give up on the young crowd. At this point, if I go with a younger person, it'll be CD. If it is an adult, my vote leans toward KK. I still think it is funny that she is active while on vacation. Is there a special reason for this? Hummm.

Sure Froggy .. Paul was the only one close to a majority required to fire someone. If Trot voted for me, he would have been alone among the rest of the scattered flock. As far as CD versus Matt, CD has more than 500 quizes (phenominal) and an A+ icon for his own submissions. I'd say he is rocking the quiz world, where as Matt is a quiz dabbler (like Paul and myself). I think Matt is deep enough in his college studies to be sufficiently broke to need a summer job.
I don't see Froggy as a boss but her focus on Paul to attract players in that direction is at least cheesy. Someone took the "rat" role from Jake. Who could that be?
As the boss (Matt?) said, we should be getting it by now. I think the boss (Matt?) has been straight forward in his answers and indeed we should be getting it by now. I don't mind some company right now with the Matt vote. No rat should want to join me, but there should only be one of those still in the game.

Ha... I am only going to be a Sophomore in high-school next year. I don't think I can legally work at this age in IL without a permit...
I will vote for KK, if she was the boss, she would probably beat around the bush for this psych question.
Hummm .. you flunked that many times? (just kidding .. I had you mature beyond your years much like I've done with some other bright Braingle members!) .. I'll have to think some more about that. KK describes herself as a homemaker, but she could be doing some additional work part-time. I've not read this anywhere I remember, but it is a possibility. I had gotten fired from a couple jobs by the time I was a sophmore. There are ways to get around the minimum age. What about paper routes? I guess I was thrown off by the link in Matt's Wiki to all the college jokes from Irish. Tricky!

Yes, that it is a really good amount to be reviewing as a QM. As far as submitted quizzes, he has only 11. I'm not sure how many any of the others in the game have except me. Yep, that let's me out as being the Boss! Hee Hee.
The rat you say Bo? Hmm, well I sure do love cheese and do seem to run all over the place....
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!
We might not want Sarge to be completely off the radar. Despite doing hundreds of quizes he only has two favorites. Hardly a ringing endorsement of time spent on quizes. QM's can be cranky about the time they spend working on quizes too (who me?) .. so being a QM can be a love/hate/love experience with quizes.
Note that the boss used slacker twice already. I see this as a popular word among young people but it is not a word unknown to us old geezers either. It is just interesting that it has been used twice already. So, give me some slack since I'm not ready to vote for Sarge yet, but he certainly has leadership experience and is a little blip on the fringe of my radar.

Okay, I am back from my vaca, and it was wonderful! Sydney's cheer team placed second and a good time was had by all.
Now, as for all of you ding-a-lings accusing me of being Boss, you should pull your heads out of the sand! Bo, to answer your question about my part-time activities, I do help out at my son's Mother's Day Out program. I will start working for them permanently as a teacher in the fall....that's neither here nor there though.
Sarge, to answer your question regarding my online activity while on vacation, let's just say that I really didn't want to get the boot because I think I have the Boss nailed....so, where there's a will, there's a way!!!
I have been voting for Paul all along, and I have never in the history of WTB lied about my vote. I am going to continue to vote for him because I firmly believe HE IS THE BOSS! If all you peeps would join the Frog and I, we will win this game...I am almost 100% positive!!!

I've got to go along with your suspicions, Bo. It looks from the stated votes in the past two rounds as though I got the majority of votes each round. And both rounds, Froggy and KK said they were voting for me, and both rounds, someone else who said they were voting for me got booted. Why didn't Froggy or KK get booted? If they did vote for me, then why did someone else who voted for me get booted? And if they didn't vote for me, then why are they trying to direct votes in my direction? I'm staying with Froggy. I've been bettin' on her since the start, and I'm still safely here. I'll either get fired for it, or I'll win, 'cause I think she's the boss.
My best guess is that they either voted for someone other than you or maybe they didn't get their vote in on time. Maybe one of them is the Rat and wasn't doing such a stellar job...who knows. I still think it's Paul and if I end up getting fired then I guess I was wrong. We aren't getting much information from the Boss, but from the info we are getting I DON'T think it sounds at all like Diva.
You seem to be getting a little antsy Sub Boy...maybe it's because you see a corporate take over in your future!

Sorry to DP....
I was doing a little search and found this...
You may ask what that is....well, my friends, that is a BOSS post from WTB 9 Creative Cremations.
Who was the Boss in that game???
None other than our dear janitor BO!!!
Irony? No???
Anyway, I am not changing my vote. I am still voting for Paul because I think that Bo might be the Rat trying to throw the Frog and I off of Sub Boy's scent. However, if I do get fired you peeps might want to start sniffing in Bo's direction.

To you who should be concerned; You silly people with your silly smillys. Do you think it will keep you on the payroll longer? This company has one foot in the grave. You people are not urning enough! One of you sits enjoying your short-lived immunity. Big deal. I can wait a round or two for you.
Most of you ditched orientation. Instead you search for smillys. Booooring! You have surely never had a boss like me. All slackers will be fired! Now, dig in and get us some new business or you will not get to keep the little box that is your work space. Could I see a little work people? Cute won't profit me ... or you!

Umm... yes I did say it was a word not unknown to old geezers. Now days, I read it is almost a compliment to young people to be called a slacker. Wikipedia has a pretty good description of the word. Thanks for the reminder that I had used it once in a former life at Creative Cremations. That was a fun experience.
Since it was used negatively, it could indicate we have an older adult boss. It was also used a lot in the "Back to the Future" triology. That also might make it somewhat telling that the Boss is an adult. I am still sticking with Matt. His question about the age you can have a job in Illinois is not really saying he is not working. The Boss answers work for him in my view. No gut feelings, no vendettas, just straight forward detective work. (No spellcheck?) ..

Common BO....vote with me and Diva. Then we will have three voting for Paul. If he is the Boss and the Rat is still in the game then it will be three out of five for him and we will WIN! I just have this gut feeling about him. Unless, of course, you're the Rat, then I guess it is a mute point anyway. Otherwise, if you end up getting booted and I do finally get a WIN, you must address me as "Your Majesty, The Queen of I Told You So" in any future public postings addressing me!!!
***Sarge, you best vote with us too, or Diva may never let you hear the end of it! Well heck, let's just ALL vote for Paul. Come on...don't be chicken butts...let's do it. All for One and One for All!!!

So... It' 'All for one and that one is Paul', huh?
You sure are sounding 'Bossy' KK. Of course, Hobo can sound 'Bossy' too.
Hummm. KK, Hobo or CD?
Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Moe. Who gets my vote this time to go? Guess what? My vote goes to Hobo.

Wow sgt.... Do you think we work for a poetry company or something?
I think you are beginning to sound a bit Bossy there as well sgt! Maybe Bo is right and you are our own green Boss! But then again, KK did raise a pretty good point with that old post she dug up from another WTB game. Oh how well I remember that one! Bo was a very own Prom King!
Still sticking with subman this round even though some points do sound very convincing.... Still, I just have this feeling and subman looks so guility just sitting there voting for me! Better change your vote paul - that is, if you are not the Boss, because you will surely be fired if you keep voting for me!
Edit: It just dawned on me! If sgt is the Boss... that means I've been sleeping with the Boss! Of course I mean this as closing your eyes and going to sleep, snoring and all that stuff!
(Sorry Jake, but I just couldn't resist!)

OK Froggy .. wrong game .. (I have been so tempted to forget which game I'm in .. ) .. no more tempts! Yes, if anyone can catch Sarge as Boss it would be his life partner. I decided to check, and the players in that slacker game included Matt, so I have just a little more suspicion about him thanks to KK, who should know I can't always be that easy to sway. I can be hard to get one day a year.
(Note to Matt--You can have a work permit at 14 in Ill.)--16 must get minimum wage. Does someone have a summer job? Hummmmm????

No prob Bo-bolicious! I like that you want to play hard to get! If I win it will just make victory so much sweeter when you have to address me with my new title.
btw...you almost have me convinced you are the RAT!

No, I don't have a summer job. I am sticking with KK this round.
Hmmm. . .maybe I'll have to switch to KK. She's as suspicious to me as the Frog is. Then maybe Matt 'n I can have a majority. But then, I don't see what that would prove, as people are ignoring apparent majorities in here. Oh well, there loss. . . I'll decide who I'm voting for soon, I guess. Just a little over 14 hours to go.
Now paul, why on earth would you be suspicious of an innocent little green frog?
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Maybe he's just "GREEN with Envy"!! Yeah, that's gotta be it...he's jealous cause you get to hear Sarge snore and he doesn't!

Well, I'd like to see a nice lump of votes somewhere, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen this round. CD hasn't posted or declared, so he may be the next to go and we'll continue all this "ratish" behavior another round. Slackers and their supervisors could mean students and their teachers and vacation really is time away from them. That wouldn't be too far a stretch for a wiley Boss, so I'm sticking with Matt one more round. Froggy could be the rat for Matt and KK is just being KK.

"KK is just being KK"???? LOL! I am going to assume you mean that in the most complimentary way!
Anyway, I could definitely see Paul using the "slacker" terminology to refer to his fellow employees at the Post Office. You know how bitter those postal peeps can be! The tone of the Boss' post just seems to make me think that it is him, so trying to sway you to vote with me is not Rattish in the least.

Hey KK -- "Your Majesty, The Queen of I Told You So..." would be a great name to have all your students address you as this fall. Just curious, what age will you teach? Cograts on the teaching job.
Of course it's complimentary. Indisputably, no one is more like KK than KK!.. 'K? You have great sticktoitness!
I guess some posting is allowed after a round closes as long as we don't mention out voting. Good chance no one will read this.

This round was 1 day longer than the previous rounds (3 days vs 2 days). What did you guys think about the duration?

Have you visited Braingle lately?

Teeheehee Bo...I am reading it! LOL!
I will be teaching the 4yr. olds. It should be great fun and I am looking forward to it. Thanks!
Jake...
Personally, I prefer the two days. Three just seems WAY too long for some reason.

Jake, I agree. I think two days is sufficient time to decide on a vote and post our vote.
I'm also reading it Bo!

Yeah, I thought this one was a little too long.
So that is why I felt like I was unusually babbely. At least this game I think two days was better, but it will be easy to have a long weekend and get dumped for not voting. Maybe three days on weekends or something. Two days is quick paced, which has been a positive for the game. The notifications are a big plus for helping the game move along. That has been a really neat addition to the site.

I am assuming it will be the moderator's decision how long the rounds last?
Cause then there would be the possibility for WTB Pro or such...

I liked the shorter duration much better.
Also, I switched my vote to hobo, because I think it's him, and I wanted to help the majority.
