RULES
Here are the rules for this game:
1. All normal rules apply except when an item is purchased and used.
2. Each round will have a Challenge.
3. Every constructive single post = 1 point. Double posts are worth zero unless four hours have passed since your last post. Spam/useless posts will not be tolerated, and will result in a warning and forfeiture of all points the first time and a ModKill the second time.
4. In purchasing an item, you MUST use the purchasing form found in the Bazaar section of this post.
5. You do not have to use an item once you have bought it. When you do use it, make it obvious to the dumb moderator.
6. The Boss has a private bazaar full of items. See that list here. He earns Firing Points (FP) by firing inactive players. FP can only be used at the Boss Bazaar. Similarly, the Boss can't use normal points at the Boss Bazaar. Here's the page explaining how the Boss earns FP.
7. The moderator colors are green, purple, and red. Please do not use them. Green is for comments, purple for official text, and red for important things like urgent announcements and warnings.
Good luck, and have fun!2. Each round will have a Challenge.

Round 1 Challenge: Riddle\Jumbled Relations
Let's start off with an easy one. The first person to get it right wins 10 points, the second person gets 5 points, and the third person gets 2 points. After that is 1 point. Send your answers to me in a private message with the header "WTB Riddle".
If anyone gets it, the first Keyword Challenge will be unlocked!
The following four words are jumbled. Unscramble them and then explain how each word is related to each other. I'm looking for a specific answer, so you might get a reply saying something along the lines of, "That was close, try again."
LIRLIOSAMILN
USMANNOTI
RORAWSWD
IWIGTRNARH
EDIT: Sorry, but I really can't help you with it unless you are 99% of the way there.

Woop we are up and running!
I am placing my initial vote on cccgirl, sounds like she might fit the profile of the Boss

And my tradition of being the first one named as a suspect in the WTB games continues...
That would be more enjoyable if I was actually a boss, or even rat, for a change....always a hapless employee.
Also, I'm horrible at word scrambles. So I'm not holding out much hope for my success based on Round 1. Blah.
Voting Jayo ONLY because he voted me. Too early to make a reasoned vote.

That's quite a reaction, but if you have a vote make sure it's locked in!!
Sure I had to vote for someone riiiight?

I'm on Braingle far too long, I stay on the computer from dusk to dawn. Playing games and chatting with friends, the novelity of it never ends.

hehe...go ahead and vote for me. I am not the boss. I just want to have a safety vote in. not sure who it will be will let you know.
EDIT: Voting for hmills. I think the memo sounds more like a girl, and maybe younger. Lots of people like Facebook, but Petville seems aimed at the younger crowd. I do know my boyfriend loves to play the sims, but would prob never play petville.

I am quite the fan of Facebook too and I don't play Petville or Farmville (or any Ville com to mention it) but I play other things like Witchcraft and Vampire Wars
Facebook is fairly generice...I'm sure 90% of people on here have one in RL

I play the Sims as well - haven't played in a while, but love the game all the same and would play more if it wasn't such a time suck. On the other hand, I've never played Petville. I'm guessing it's like Farmville (which I played in the past but purposefully stopped playing at least a year ago), but with pets. (?)
I agree that the boss is probably younger...but could be male or female.
By the way, the Voting List is updated. (Hope that doesn't count as two posts in a 4 hr period )
Mod Edit: No, the point of the rule is to have you edit your posts.

So sad. I'd actually figured out the first 3, and got hung up on the last one Stupid work and responsibilities
Anyways, does this clue mean anything to us now that it's revealed and no one got it?

Nope, nothing at all.
And at that, I should clarify that this is not a hint. However, getting the challenge would make you closer to purchasing one!
Finally, storm2055 could not be here to be active and he sends his apologies. He does have a legitimate excuse, so please forgive him.
