Thanks, GA. (I almost had that one. ha)
Let's see ... clues ...
All right, I will tell when clearing clues and rat clues are correct, but only if A) all parts have been correctly answered and if it B) points to the right person. I can't be that generous for the boss clues, of course.
Oh, I will also tell you if a clearing clue leads to someone currently dead.
I will definitely give a boss clue in round 3, but for this round, I'm not so certain. I'll have to see how things go first.

Round and round we go.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

mandatorys are annoying
Oh, but stretching our screen isn't?
Anyway, I don't know quite what the boss is saying, but I'll try break up the message for all of you...
In Owensboro, Kentucky, there is a law that states that "a woman cannot buy a hat without her husband's permission". I would remove the law because it discriminates against the rights of women. They should be able to buy hats whenever they please, and another law that I would remove is one in Greece that states that "no one is allowed to play electronic games" which in my opinion is ridiculous because everyone needs video games, right? And the last law I would remove would have to be one that apparently states that "it is illegal for women to wear a bikini with more than six inches of material on the Gold Coast of Australia" which is also absurd because I can't see that being morally right for women to wear six inches of material or less. If a women doesn't want to show cleavage she doesn't have to.
Okay, I think that's it all... with punctuation and capital letters where appropriate.
First of all, Markus, who are "these people" you talk about?
Also, brainyboy and Elios were fired when they weren't even in majorities for anyone... I am going to have to trust that they voted who they said they did, and that they locked in their votes, so here are the conclusions from the firings:
1) The boss was one of the two candidates (Shadows and myself) and their rat was in the majority NOT for them.
2) Both the boss and rat are the four people who were in a majority, but did not "vote" for the same candidate.
Now that I've said these, can anyone come to any more conclusions ASSUMING THAT ALL VOTES STATED WERE CONFIRMED.
If I were to choose conclusion 1), then obviously I know I'm not boss, so Shadows would have to be boss, and her rat would need to be Markus or xxsoftballxx13x. I don't think Markus would put himself in a majority as a rat like that, but I could be wrong, so I would say the best bet is Shadows/xxsoftballxx13x for Boss/Rat if we were to go for option 1).
If we were going for option 2)... then I would say the better choices for boss/rat were xxsoftballxx13x(boss)/Days(rat) or TanCW(boss)/xxsoftballxx13x(rat).
So, in both scenarios I think xxsoftballxx13x isn't an employee... Interesting.
Right now I am going to lock my vote in for Shadows, and maybe we can get a majority going?

Who's from Kentucky, Greece or Australia! Really though, the boss could have simply looked up kooky laws that were put in place a LONG time ago, that are still in effect. I believe the boss is trying to hide where they are from. Very clever.

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.

I agree with snow. Boss probably is working overtime to hide her/his nationality.
The firings were very interesting. There were 2 apparent pluralities, yet the firings appeared to have been from MoO. To recap:

That's it. I'm moving to the Gold Cpasts pf Australia. Right now.
I'll fish softball again.
Edit: So unless there was a lie or misclick, two of the above four are boss/rat?
Should we just get majorities on them then? If it's a confirmed fact, then...
Wait, can't you look back past rouds to see who you voted? Or am I confusing game logics?

I'm guessing the Boss is male; mentioning those two laws that discriminate against women was probably an attempt to make us think he's female. And then there's the video game comment.
I'm going to go with GA's second theory and vote for TanCW.

The screen is irritating me.
Anyhoo, is there a possibility that all three that were fired were mandatories? If that is the case, which I assume it isn't, then no one would be cleared, and we'd be back to square one. That said, I do find it interesting that neither of the Shadows voters were fired. If GA doesn't mind, I'll be placing a vote for Shadows, as right now that's all I have to go on. I will be back on tomorrow to catch up on my reading. (of the posts)
EDIT: Vote is confirmed, but is subject to change for the sake of a majority. Good night!

I guess I'll swap to TanCW as well.
Note: Hermoine didn't state a vote, We assume she was a Mandi. What if one of those two misclicked and were actually in a majority?
Absurd, but definately a possibility.
Oh, and screw you boss, my iPod safari crashed because of the super-stretched page...

I have my suspicions, but I don't want to be in a majority this early in the game. So, my vote will go to Marcus this round. If I find someone else has voted for him, I'll change my vote. OR . . . if anyone stands out enough to get my attention, I "may" change my vote to them. We'll see.

Snowmonster, I just saw your signature. Whom may I ask is "Goobs"?
It seems like you have lost a dear friend or family. I feel sorry for you.

Thank you boss for screwing up my screen.......
Joining the TanCW vote for now.
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

He was a friend here on braingle. He was a friend to many here, and he passed away a few years ago?

trust me dont vote for me this round, you will waste yet another round
Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

In which case, you would only be trying to do that this early if the boss was under suspicion, in which case this could back up Shadows being boss...
xxsoftballxx13x's vote for Shadows does make her look less rattish to Shadows, of course. So, maybe I'm more inclined to possibly go with a Shadows/Markus teaming here? Obviously this is all assuming if one of the two aforementioned scenarios is indeed correct... Well, we'll see in time, won't we?

Hmm. I'm not sure about shadow. And i.can't be boss if someone voted.ffor me.was.fired. but who knos if that vote was true. I'll vote shadows.for now.
I'm going to keep my vote for the time being, and I should be back on after school. If the majority does lean towards Tan by that time, I will vote for him for the sake of a clear.
I know I'm not the boss or the rat, so i will vote for Markus
what is sense??and if i am not making sense, then why i say it?? I SAY IT COZ IT MAKE SENSE TO ME BUT WHY IT DON'T MAKE SENSE TO YOU????????? sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll go along with GA's line of thinking and will vote SHADOWS for now. Subject to change as the round progresses.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

I'm having internet problems, so better get a vote in before I lose it again. I'm with Snowy on this, I don't want to be in any majority at this time, way too early for me. So, my vote is for Snowmonster since it doesn't appear that she has any votes. I'll try to be back before the round ends to re-confirm, but for now that's my safety vote.

With TanCW changing his vote to Marcus, I will now change mine, so I can avoid being placed in a majority. Voting for Bradon this round, unless I need to change THIS vote. I don't suspect her, so it's just a safety vote.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't snowmonster voting for brandon and brandon voting for snowmonster create some sort of dangerous loop where the boss can fire both of them and we won't get a clear? I thought I experienced this in a past game.
Not if there's a definite majority on me. I think we need one more vote to make it Rat-proof.
Just to be on the safe side, I'll switch my vote to GA. Don't know why I didn't do that to begin with, he's usually my first safety vote.

I don't like it when people don't help out majorities because they don't want to be fired so early on... It's kind of selfish. :/
Sorry about that, but it's the way I play, and there are plenty of other people who do the same. I think you need time to really get an idea of who to suspect, once I get that suspicion, then I'll join a majority. Otherwise, I'd never learn how this game is played, getting fired in round 1 teaches me nothing.

I guess Markus is going to mandy himself out, which is always a disappointing thing to do to the rest of us. Oh well. We need some more votes on Shadows, please! We need to make sure we can catch or clear her.
Yeah. Would stink if we got a false majority. >.<
EDIT- 55 minutes left. May post another part of my story on BWB now...

I think the firings will tell us whether or not we've cleared Shadows. *crosses fingers*
yo I didnt vote, but I did it for a reason, I saw that people were probably going to vote for me later in the game, so I figured that you guys could waste that round on someone else, Im not a clear so me being a mandi is more of a self sacrifice for everyone
I would say that you guys should take a look at tan next round
and bradon maybe you being fired in round one doesnt help you to learn, but costing us the game potentially because we didnt clear enough people is even worse, this isnt wwg
