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.
Okay, I'm completely confused here. It states the game finished in 6 rounds. Who won? We barely discussed anything and there were only a few posts made. If the Boss won, where is the Boss's final message? Why is there a Round 6 psyche question? I am completely lost!
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

I was the boss and I won the game (just kidding!) .. I don't know what is going on. It looks like Paul was fired .. If he was the boss, then you "Paul" voters are winners! If not, then maybe the game ended premature .. I don't know. I was voting Sarge, because, next to Matt, the answers seemed to fit him somewhat to me. No inside stuff, just my conviction. Maybe it is a ploy to get the rat and/or boss to reveal and self-incriminate. This is a "test" run so I figure Jake will explain. Hi froggy ..
(Edit--I see the results now..)
Paul??? People must have not been correct (sorry I had "honest"--not meaning to impune.. ) about their voting intentions .. (or there are bugs to be worked out)... boy do I have a lot of crow to eat not going along with Froggy and "Your Majesty, The Queen of I Told You So" KK... Guess I should know better! .. I'm a non-fired non-winner ..

Well I was completely honest. Unless I accidentally clicked on the wrong radio button, I voted Paul when I said I voted for him. I'd like to know why you fired me you mean boss!
EDIT: OK, just went back to Round 2 where I was sure I said I'd vote for Paul. I see only one post by myself and nothing else, but I'm sure I made more posts than that. That's also confirmed by Hobo and Paul later discussing in Round 3 that I said I'd vote for Paul. Can anyone else see more than one post by me in Round 2?

It's over? I was a winner!?!? Cool beans!!!
There may be a few little kinks that could be worked out in the ending though. For instance, by looking at the graph it looks like Bo won too, but he said he was a non-winner since he didn't vote for Paul. Maybe you could use the box where the Boss post goes to announce the winners in the final round.
Indy, I am not sure what is going on...I thought you posted that you were voting for Paul as well. I noticed that in the first round you also mentioned a post you made that you could not find.
***Indy, you DID say you were voting for Paul...it is in that post. You said you were going with subman at the end of the first paragraph. So, unless you clicked on the wrong bubble, you should not have been fired.

So, what happened is that round 5 ended and the boss (Paul) got the majority of the votes, so anyone left in the game at that point was the winner.
Thanks for testing it out guys. I fixed a few bugs along the way, and I definitely need to make it clear when the game is over, who is the winner.
Any suggestions for improvements?

It looks like in this case, because CD and I voted for different non-boss candidates, 2 votes was 50 per cent and enough in this case to fire the boss since the boss and rat do not have voting rights. If CD and I had both voted for Sarge, for example, then I guess we would have been on the firing list since it says the boss can slip out of a tie. Or, would the 50 percent still be enough to fire Paul? Just wondering. Close game.

Jake, I'd just like you to check if you can who I voted for in Round 2. I was so sure I voted for the old man (aka Paul726). If I was fired inspite of voting for him, then that's a bug! If not, I guess I must have clicked in the wrong place!
Congratulations to the winners!

I just made a post here and I can't see it. Anyway, I went back and checked my post KK. I guess I didn't read closely enough earlier! I did indeed say I voted for Subman. Curiouser and curiouser!

Sorry for the triple post, but after I made my second post, I see the first post. I don't have cache issues in the forums Jake, why am I having them in this game?

I can explain a few things. Since I was in the majority in the round where Brainster was fired, Jake had put all who voted for me on the chopping block. I pointed it out to him and he changed the way it works so that it follows the pattern of previous games, but for that round, he let me go and fire one of ya. So I had to choose me arch-nemesis from the last time I was the boss. I can't believe you two (Frog and K-rat) were so sceptical about Brainy actually voting for me. The next round, where Trot stated he was voting for me, he must have changed his mind, because he was on the firing list but no other Paul voters.
I can only assume that CD didn't vote last round, thus making the votes fall 2 out of 3 for me. Is that accurate Jake? If not, then I should have still survived with only 50% of the vote. Hmmm, maybe then I would have fired Sarge (He was probably in collusion with that annoying Frog!)

That hardly seems fair that someone who voted for the Boss would be fired. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Indy, I will gladly share half my medal with you!

It looks like the rules for this game state "at least 50 percent" which to me means you don't have to be more than 50 per cent but can get fired with exactly 50 per cent. Not to say for sure that happened though. So, I totally got fooled by the Brainster thing. I guess that's what happens when you Beta test.

Congratulations KK! Looks like we were right all along! Great game. It was much, much shorter than the usual games, but we had less players as well.
You did a great job though paul, trying to convince us you were not the Boss!
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Congratulations to you too DIVA!!!!
Remember that this game was beta-testing, which means that there were bugs that may have changed the outcome of some of the rounds. For example, Paul was able to fire Brainster even though Brainster should have been immune. This has been fixed. The next game should have all the kinks ironed out.

Ah, foiled by a bug! Well old man, next time the bug won't work so well and your arch nemesis won't be so easy to get rid of, so there! I can't believe you fired me you mean, mean old man! Hmmph! *muttering to oneself*

I like the fact that after we are fired, we are locked out from posting, as that should stop some confusion and problems when this goes public.
Yeah, but who was the Psychie? I saw that the Rat was Sarge and Paul the boss but no Psychie....
