Who's The Boss
Game #2645: The Real LX
This private game is moderated by Shadows. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 4 rounds.
I have decided to do something rather... irregular, for me at least: I will split the Boss clue into two parts (to avoid doubling your headaches). The second part will come later tonight, after I get a bit more homework done.
The round two clue is no longer applicable, since the person it points to is no longer in the game.
Boss clue part one (which is easier than you think, despite its gibberish appearance):
nfogfnrmznlivkzgirzvurwvhnfogfnxlmhgzmgrz
NHEAHHOMHEEDTIYEUTTNTAHRIRP YLJASNAEETBETLLSRMSADPEVBRAREV
EDIT: Ignore the space in the last line. Formatting problems.
EDIT 2: Here comes part two of the Boss clue!

Looks like the food clue pointed to leon, snow or Stewie. Leon & Stewie might have been mandis. Snow posted a vote for talanpoe.
Atbash gives: multumina more patriaefides multumconstantia
I can't make any headway with the all caps portion. It's not Caesar, Keyword (using any key word I can think of), Atbash, Bifid or Trifid.

The latter portion looks like a rail fence, due to the string and capitalisation. I can't find anything with rail fence though. Columnar transposition's likely, but I wouldn't know the password.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

I just noticed that the atbash part looks awfully like "multivitamins". (This is not a hint. The keyword, if there is one, is not multivitamins.)
"Multum In Amore Patriae Fides Multum Constantia" is the motto on the coat of arms for the Right Honorable Martin Brian Mulroney, former Prime Minister of Canada.
Perhaps Shadows is implicating herself with the clue!

I note also that Shadows loves Vigenère; but I can't find a keyword that gives me anything sensible from the 2nd half. (It isn't playfair because there are double-letter pairs in it.)

I'm going to be on the road most of tomorrow. Placing a safety again for Caberet. I have no idea about solving ciphers---wait, talanpoe solved it? Good! Now to figure out what it means. I probably won't get a chance to even see the 2nd part of the clue until too late, but I'll try to get back before the round ends.

I guess part two will come tomorrow, since it's getting late. So much for math homework! I can do it tomorrow morning or something...
I am not sure if Stewie was a mandatory or not, but I think talanpoe is reasonably cleared. Though, I didn't suspect him in the first place anyway.
I will place a vote in for... caberet. I could see caberet writing this round's memo, and plus majorities are always fun, and bradon182001 has already voted for caberet, so that's where my vote is going!

I would say we're looking for a worker (and thus clear myself, oh what a sad way to be cleared, lol) but this could be the lie. Still, there are probably a bunch of players here who do work, so it's not too likely to be that one. [Not to mention weaseling out of fact by questioning the definition of the term "work".]
I'm going to help the vote for Cab. She seems to be helpful. That's not really bossy in of itself, but it's something I would do as boss and could see Cab using to try and throw others off.
I'll be gone most of tomorrow (though I might as well log in at school if I'm going to use the computer to watch an anime anyways [*guilt-ridden for being nonacademic*, lol]) so I'll check in the morning and see about that clue and possibly in midday as well.

It's early for me, and I need more sleep but bus will be comming in an hour. The only thing I do in the evening is babysit for my youngest nephew and I have homework to do. I don't get paid as of yet. I'm going to join the majority with Cab.
I work, but not during the evenings. (I'm a petty bureaucrat; we work 8-5.)
Joining the Cab vote. Good to see some people being cleared here.

It occurred to me when reading the Psych Answer that the boss could be playing with us. Yes, most people work at their job during the day. But there's also plenty of 'work' to do in the evening. There's homework for students, cooking and cleaning for adults. There's laundry, paying the bills, garden work, etc. I'm just saying we shouldn't exclude anyone too early, just because we think of work as in being paid. There's plenty of other work, we just don't get paid for.

It occurs to me that one of three things occurred last round.
There was a two-vote declared majority for Bobbi; but Snow (who declared a vote for me) was fired. So either
1) Snow, who originally declared a vote for Bobbi, didn't lock in her change (which is quite un-Snowlike but possible);
2) Either 4wheels or Softball didn't vote as advertised; or
3) Bobbi is indeed Boss.
At the very least, I think an eye needs to be kept on 4wheels, Softball and Bobbi (not necessarily in that order).

I've changed my vote to Bradon. It seems rather likely that if bradon were boss, she's happily fire someone that was already suspicious of her.
I welcome being cleared, but wish that it were a bit later in the game since I'll have to avoid majorities from here on out. Or I could be brave like talanpoe!

talanpoe, I was going to say all that, but I remembered that StewieGriffin logged in while there was time to vote, and it's possible he voted for you, pushing snowmonster into a majority of two, and resulting in her being fired. So, that's why I didn't want to end up posting that because I didn't want to be wrong and confuse all the employees into thinking one of those scenarios had to be correct.
All true. There are any number of ways in which I'm not cleared, so not much point in me trying to claim that I am.
GA: I had missed that particular possibility, but you're right (as usual).

I will post part two in a few minutes. Scroll up to the top!
Hey! I'm back home.
Okay, part two clues: 1st picture, I haven't gotten a handle on yet.
2nd picture is Johnny Depp link who based his character on Rolling Stones' iconic guitarist Keith Richards
3rd picture is Link Downchild Blue Band I need a Hat album cover.
Now I just need to figure out what any of it means. I'm going to leave my vote on Cab, if nothing else, we can clear her.
And Cab, LR also stated a vote for you.
