Who's The Boss
Game #2656: Murder She Wrote 24 (F & A)
This private game is moderated by snowmonster. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 7 rounds.
Welcome to Round 1!
BOOKS:
To tell you why I'm back from the last time. It's been awhile since I killed someone and the books are giving me an idea of who to kill. Speaking of books, lets see what book I read recently, one I'm reading now is from the James Bound serries called Carte Blanche, but the one I read before that is hmm, I suddenly can't remember the name of the book, or who it's by at the moment. But I do have to write a book review for it, and probably should start it soon. Have to go, family birthday today actually.
A Murderous Tale . . . . .
Thank goodness for lawyers. I got away with all the previous murderings again! Mwahaha. Well I was found guilty but I bailed out and am on parole but is that going to stop me? No it's not. I ran away from where I did the murderings before and I'm somewhere else now and under a false name. No one should be able to find me. Question for you guys to figure out is who am I and who is going to be the first killed? Now I need to find my accomplice seeing as I need to find out where she went to. Hopefully I can avoid detection from the detectives looking for me.

Take all sorrow out of life and you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur. It is the furnace that melts hearts together in love.

Throw in a vote for kajish.
Well, that memo was barely helpful at all. I guess I'll be throwing in a fish-vote for chunnie as of now. Hopefully I'll be able to log on later to read the story before the round runs out. (I should be able to tonight)
EDIT: Vote for chunnie is confirmed.

I go to sleep when only 13 people have joined, I wake up and we're in round one!
I am throwing a vote out for kajish just because I think it could sound like him. I have school but I'll be back on afterwards.

Ganna vote for chunnie until more posts and clues
I think the murderer is a student ("I do have to write a book review for it") so that narrows it down a little, I think. Will safety vote for xxsoftballxx13x, because she is a student, and no one else has voted for her yet.

I'm going to vote Jayo also, seeing as his occupation is a student.
Although I am a student, and i do write a lot of book reports, I am not currently reading James Bond.
Voting J-Boy, since student is listed as his occupation
I am Groot

Yeah softy is a student...she is actually at volleyball right now... it is an after school thing. I do not really know who the students int his game are although I agree... I guess I will go with softy???
EDIT: My vote for softy is locked in.

It does seem a gleeful story - out on bail after murder, I don't think so.
Excuse me Mr. Simpson, you dropped your glove...
So I will go with softball as well - jocks scare me.

Ganna vote for softball too.
I really don't want to be in a majority in the first round, and I've got a funny feeling, a hunch you might say, that our murderer could be our newest member of the "Dream Group", so I'm changing my vote to Vanderbus.

Did anyone else get the impression from the story that this is the second time that this particular person has been the murderer? It says, "I got away with all the previous murderings again! Mwahaha. Well I was found guilty but I bailed out and am on parole but is that going to stop me? No it's not." It could just be part of their story, but I just felt the need to point out what it sounded like to me. Also, they spelled "James Bond" wrong. Any suggestions? For now, I will be keeping my vote locked for chunnie.
*cough* For those of you who do not know me, I do not like reading books (by books, I mean novels). The only novel I read in the past 10 years was the 6th Harry Potter book. Also, I'm at University, studying Math. I don't have to do any book reports (thankfully). So I suggest that the two people voting me change their votes.
I safetied machine. Leaving my vote as is for the time being.

Switching to machine and then i wil look at the losts tomorrow.
A quick note to Fleetwood - you might want to avoid sharing details about softy's life in this game, except for the stuff that's on her profile and wiki and in the forums. The WTB rules forbid it. I don't think telling us that she has volleyball practice makes a huge impact on the game, so you don't have to delete it or anything, but this is just for future reference.
I think a student would usually say book report instead of book review. Book reviews sound like the kind in the Entertainment section of the newspaper, or the back of a magazine.
The Boss is giving us a lot of information. New-ish players tend to do this, but some experienced players (GA, for example) do it too. I don't know a few of you very well, so I'll save the accusations for later in the game.
Fish for Fleetwood, since I mentioned her earlier in my post... which is to say, for no reason at all.
EDIT: Vote confirmed.

Fleetwood38 and xxsoftballxx13x are siblings? I had no idea!
The boss is getting quite into the murderer role, which is evident from the prompt and story. So I think it's possibly someone who was excited for this game (not that any of us weren't, snowmonster ).
I'll keep my vote on kajish!

Ok... I see we sort of have a lack of people reading all the posts before posting a "fish vote". I am at least the second person who fish voted for someone and someone else voted for them. Please take a moment to check the posts before fish voting! If you really think the person someone else fish voted for is the murderer... then by all means vote for that person - but state your case.
In any case, I really wish to just fish vote the first round. Sorry, I have a set of blueprints in front of me that I have to get a bid out for... more time later.
My fish vote now changes to (and I am using GA's list - thanks!) : bradon182001
IT IS only a fish vote. thank you
Edit: Confirmed... and for those who know me... I really have voted for who I stated.

I feel we should get a majority going. Try an clear people early. But I also know that people don't like being in majorities in the first round.
Not getting much from the story. No suprises there really.
I am a little busy at the moment. I will try and get on before the end of the round and see if I can spot anything worth mentioning from the posts.

Hmm...I'm normally one to push for a majority the first round, but I've been changing my game play a little. I think I'll refrain from a majority in the first round because of the chance of being a lemming. Most of you should know by now: When I confirm a vote by editing my post, that's who I voted for.
Chunnie's putting up some defense to me voting for him. It makes logical sense if he really is studying math at school and wouldn't have time to read novels, then he is not the boss. That being said, I will be changing my fish vote to StewieGriffin because no one is voting for him.
EDIT: Vote is confirmed for Stewie.

Going to vote for softball.
Going to change my vote to Fleetwood for now.
Wow, really busy at the moment!! Next round I will be more active, the murderer sounds fairly newish to me. Anyways I will place a fish for Slammngirl
Fear is only as deep as the mind allows!
Fear is only as deep as the mind allows!
First round usually gets rid of whoever doesn't vote (the inactive pool) so I'm not worried about being a lemming in this round, latter rounds YES. But we do need clear majorities, we don't get rid of who the most of us vote for so Softy should be happy to be cleared in round one - I like seeing my name on the list...the only one that should worry is the boss...and we will get you my pretty, and that little dog too!!!

Oh brother...
I don't usually request any sort of voting style, etc. but for those too tired or busy to highlight over every single post that looks like it "may" contain a hidden message. . . . . I am making one request. If you are simply stating your vote, whether it's a fish vote or not, please do not post in white. I'm requesting this for one reason - if a player does not want to be in a majority, they have every right to stay out of one, and to be placed in one, because of a missed "hidden white post", would be maddening if it caused someone to be fired.
There are times when white posts can be used and can be fun to find. . . like when a seer uses them in TWW games, but to post your vote in white, is too questionable. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. . . . .
Take all sorrow out of life and you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur. It is the furnace that melts hearts together in love.

Thanks Snowy... I had not seen the hidden message; though it was stated clearer later.

Snowy, I understand where you're coming from, but on principle* I cannot agree with that request. Also, note that the reason for the request is invalidated due the likelihood of at least one person, though usually more, voting but not stating for whom, or lying about whom they voted. You can't make that request unless you are also asking everyone to state correctly whom they voted for, in a clear and easily understandable manner, so as to ensure that someone can safely avoid being a lemming. That would essentially break down the game. If I chose to post whom I voted for in an encrypted message or another language, would you also request that I not do so?
*It's up to the players to discover and decipher whatever is posted in a game, whether it is posted in plain black or in white, in English or in an alien language, in readable text or in some hi-tech code.
Just to clear things up, when I made the original post, I did so just for fun. I was planning on playing the game only posting messages in white, but I changed my mind in my second post because I knew I would have forgotten eventually. That's why I re-iterated my vote for machine. I would not have pointed to my original post had I not been possibly accused of failing to read posts before voting. I'm not saying that I will do it again out of spite, but I hope you understand why this is an unacceptable request. To end of, I'd like to quote RGW4:

Well...this makes me wonder...my sister does not have much time for the computer so she probablly is the boss. Although, she is an amazing writer...the story will be long, and very puncuated and stuff like that. So... there is a little heads up.
