Right, hello. I can talk freely now. .... Right. Not much to say, really. Hope you guys are having fun. I'm going to think of a clear ASAP. [After Some Awkward Pauses]
... Before the round's over, ne?
Work on the first one until then. I don't want to give anything away, but let me just say that Braingle can help you with part of it.

22.-69
1.-6
0.-12
Don't forget the periods or decimal points or whatever. I think they're important, but knowing Roger, you never know.
Kiki is probably cleared, then. I don't think Days stated her vote, so no help there.
After reading the psych answer, I was convinced that the Boss is Roger. But for some reason, I couldn't find his name on the voting list. How uncanny! I could've sworn that Roger's in this game, I thought. Then I realised that he's the mod. Since I can't vote for my prime suspect, I guess I'll vote for GA.

How funny. It seems like Roger could be the boss! This might be a veeeeery unconventional game!
I fish voted for joseph this round.
With the clue, I did wonder if the dots were supposed to be there or not. I guess we should assume yes, they are decimals. Does anybody have any idea what they mean? I sure don't. There's a million ways to play with the math so that seems too broad and vague to be the correct path. Also, you don't know if they're subtraction signs or indicating ranges. So many possibilities!

I'd consider kikiersr1 cleared from boss. It definitely doesn't sound like kikiersr1 anyway!
It doesn't sound like dolphingurl12, I don't think, nor does it sound like froggygg.
I could see players like Shadows and Jayo writing like this, or joseph_r03.
Anyway, my dream job wouldn't be a CEO job. Really I'd want to do acting, or something in my mind creative.
I think the CEO job was just a general job the boss said so they wouldn't be discovered. They even said it was a general ambition, meaning it probably isn't their first choice.
I'll vote for Jayo again, for now.

Do I sound like that? I wouldn't want to be a CEO, to be honest. Loads of responsibility and I hate business. For me, it's writing or bust. (I just hope the bust is a gentle one)

Like I said before I went through braingle's ciphers and didn't find anything. Idk what else might be helpful. Grr good clue LR lol
EDIT:
I think the memo sounds like bobbi to be honest, so for now she gets my vote

"Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably beriable."
I'm thinking froggy could pull off a memo like that one.
Could the numbers be latitude/longitudes? Like 22° 69'? But then having three, that kinda doesn't work out so well. Hmm.

I definitely think the decimal points are important, was thinking that the 1-6 thing could mean one sixth of something too, there are a lot of ways to look at it. The memo isn't overly helpful, despite it's large content it's very general which is surprising.
Will put vote on seekrgrl for now in case I'm not back later; I'm heading to the zoo now yay!!!! Can't wait!!
Talk to ye peeps, laters

I'm voting a fish vote for Shadows.
I agree that my first thought was that the periods were there for a reason, but what that reason is, I have no idea. As far as how those numbers apply to Braingle, I'm going to have to think on that one since we have lots of areas that deal with numbers (i.e. birthdays, date of joining, teaser/quiz popularity, etc.).
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Warning: Clearing clue below. Please refrain from hyperventilating while in my presence.
First think upon this: it sounds like you're going to prosper. Or is that just pain and distress? It's all to do with coming of age.
Once you understand that, ponder this: It may sound easy, to be number one, inching your foot across the line, in order to score. You might broaden gradually, not to have to hit or stick any more, and finally approach the Dark Tower.
But do you win? Solve the clue and you'll find out.
BTW, this clue is dreadful; I apologise in advance. If it's too easy then it makes up for last round. If it's too hard it's only because it's too loose. I generally hate overly vague clues. Sorry.

wiser_now, I disagree that froggygg would write a memo like that. I've moderated a WTB game where she was boss, and a TWG with prompts where she was a wolf, and in both games she is always very cautious with the amount of words she uses in her memo. froggygg is usually very conservative, since she knows that she is well-known in the braingle community, and so if she wants to win as boss, she's going to have to disguise herself pretty well, which would mean less talk. So that's why I think froggygg is very highly likely to not be the boss.
I am actually beginning to really like the idea of Jayo being the boss, so my vote remains on him.
As for the clue, I'll see if I have time to do a search round braingle (it's nearly half past ten at night here, and I need my rest before school, so I probably won't have time).
I'll search teasers/quizzes about "The Wizard of Oz", or the Tinman, or even just tin.
EDIT: There's actually a quiz by mouseprincess entitled "Tin Man" about The Wizard of Oz.
Here's a link: link
I don't have time to see any connections, since I have to go to bed, but can someone else look? Look at difficulty/popularity and see if the numbers written on the tin man match up, or even match up with anyone else's teaser/quiz popularities etc. It may be a tedious process, but it might work?
Night all!

I am 30 years old. I started my career when I was 24. In the short 6 years of my career I have, at the start and middle of that time, wanted to become the CEO of the company I work(ed) for. I was still very young and knew if it happened it would be a long time from now, so this idea was just a "general ambition of mine" as the boss says. So based on my experience and the boss's wording, I'd say the boss is a young adult.
Another interesting part of the psych answer is "my ambition is honestly not set in stone though my situation is promising". This could be a college student (i.e. situation is promising) who has not figured out what they want to major in (i.e. not set in stone). Or this could be, again, a young adult who is starting their first job after college (or in the hiring stages) and they are unsure if this is where they want to be for a career (or are unsure if they will get the job).
The mention of a CEO position also makes me think the boss is male.
So I am thinking the boss is a 19-27 year old male. Now I just wish I knew everyone's age.
edit: The remaining males are:
GreenApples27 (teen student)
Jayo (adult student)
joseph_r03 (me, not the boss)
kvthegreat (adult student)
LavaIcee (teen student)
Wow, all my suspects are students, that means I will have to go with my college student theory. I didn't realize you were a teen GA. I thought you were older . GA and LavaIcee are too young for my theory, so I guess Jayo and kvthegreat are my only two boss suspects.
Voting Jayo

Hey Joseph, what planet have you been living on?. Haven't you ever heard of a female CEO? I wouldn't count any of the younger female players in this game out on that premise. I do agree with GA, unless froggy is using reverse psychology on us, she's not the Boss, and I think Shady is right, the Boss has to be LR. However, since she already took credit for that vote, I'll go again with dolphingurl12, it's too early in the game to be in a majority, I think.
Meanwhile, I'll see what I can come up with regarding the clues.

I'm not clearing all the females in the game, and I'm not saying women can't be CEOs. I feel much more confident about my age suspicion than the gender one. Didn't mean to offend.

GA, you certainly have put up quite the argument as to why it can't be froggygg. Therefore, I'm keeping my vote where it is.
im voting lava for the time bieng
i didnt get on in time. sorry guys!
RIP to my sweet Angel Jake. Rest easy, sunshine. I love you

wiser_now, I see you think I'm froggygg's rat? I'm not, don't you worry. I'm not that blatantly obvious. I think I've been the rat the most times out of anyone on this site (10 times), but that was a while ago I held the record, so someone has probably taken over me since then. So I know what to do, and what not to do as a rat, wiser_now.
I'll put up a voting list...

Wow, that was a really useless round. Everyone's too scared to join a majority... Just man up and become lemmings for the good of the employees! Anyways, kikiersr1 didn't really fit into any of my categories, since she posted, but we know she didn't vote, so I just put her in red, since she said she was a mandatory anyway. And she was our clear.
I will attempt to get some searching done on both clues. Mainly the second. Has anyone had any progress?

I don't know what "22.-69" means, but the other two pairs remind me of clues I've done in the past where the first number is the round number and the second is the post. So "0.-12" would be the 12th post in round 0. This is probably incorrect, but the 12th poster in round 0 was Lava, and the 6th post in round 1 was me, stating a vote for Lava.
But I still think that the dots are there for a reason.

I did vote, didn't have time to say who for, and actually, I can't remember now who I voted for ;_;

I'm going to be gone until Monday afternoon, so I'll be a mandatory next round. I completely forgot about it. When I signed up for this game, I thought it would be over by now. Darn. I should've joined the majority this round...
So the clearing clue sounds like quotes but i can't find them. Has anyone heard them before?
