While I will cannot state that I do not have a special role in the game, I can emphatically declare that I am NOT the boss.
I have pointed out over and over how the clues do not fit me.
The only thing that could possibly point to me being the boss is that I was alive during a time that there may or may not have been a Big Boy in town.
HP is from a much larger city than I am. Toronto, being over 10X the size of London is much more likely to have had a Big Boy in it than London.
Even this latest memo does not sound like me. If you look at my profile (which I have not changed in over a year (and wouldn't change for the sake of this game as I think that is a lame tactic) it states like OLD movies My favorite movies are "12 Angry Men" (1957), "To Kill A Mockingbird" (1962) and "Strangers on a Train" (1951). I don't think most of the actors/actresses were even alive when those movies were made let alone in them. As far as "modern" movies go I like foreign films. I'd say my favorites include "The Red Violin" (French,Italian, German), "Life is Beautiful" (Italian) and "The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas" (English but no one of note in it). "The Kite Runner" (Pushto, Urdu and Russian). Again, I can assure you ,none of the actors that the boss mentioned was in any of those movies

Thinking I may go HP this round as I know I am not the boss, we can be reasonably sure Bradon is clear and PotterCrazy has never been on my suspect list - it has to be HP.

Ok habs
There's one fatal flaw in your plan, my wiki actually has an entire PAGE dedicated to my favourite actor I am virtually clear, unless I broke the rules.

LOL Bradon, I edited the post and obviously missed deleting the word "will" it originally said "will not" but I changed it to cannot. This does not change the fact that I am NOT the boss. If HP is being truthful about his favorite actor (which unless he created the wiki in the last couple hours we will have to assume he is) and he is abiding by the rules of the game, then I guess he is not the boss either. I really can't see it being Potter,, but from a friend who lives in Bath, I do know they get almost all the American programming that we do. As well he could watch TV online so there is no reason to dismiss him as boss I guess. He may have lived in N. America at some point in his childhood which would account for the Big Boy experience.
I am at a loss, just know it is not me.

i do understand the game , It's just I have been concentrating on surviving the rounds because my mind has not been on the game, but just looked over the past rounds comments and noticed all three of you have been in most of the majorities where you should become a lemming and been fired, so that means that one of you is the rat/boss. Since the only american left is bradon i think she is the boss.

Where were you last round? LongHorn and Jayo both stated votes for me, both were fired, so even if one of them was the rat, the other had to be an employee because the game continued, If I were the boss neither one of them could be fired and the game would have ended. (Go back and look at the voting list.)
The boss has to be either HABS, HarryPutter or you. I am cleared by stated votes and subsequent firings.

It has been stated several times over the last few rounds that HP is likely the rat. If this is true than it shold be quite clear I'm not the boss. At this stage with the game on the lin
ne no decent ray (which I'm assuming he'd be) would place a vote for the boss.
Then again, maybe I'm the rat. But who would I be protecting?

Or you were playing as if you were my rat the last few rounds to have suspicion fall on me when in fact you are PC's rat.. otherwise why would go from pointing out how I don't fit the boss to now thinking I AM the boss?

i don't see PC as the rat. He really hasn't done much to sway the votes all game. You or the other hand have, that is why others saw you as my rat. I believe HP is the rat but he isn't working for me!

Who is he working for?
Where is PC now? I wish he would come back and explain his comment.

Habs, you should be outright accusing PC of being the boss if you honestly believe anything you're saying. But it's obvious you don't believe it and you're getting trapped in your own words.
Keeping my vote on Habs, whichever of bradon or PC isn't the rat, join me.

Bradon, he must be working for PC. He made you guys suspicious enough of me to believe I'm the boss and now that he has you all thinking that, he is free to go with he flow he created and vote me in this last round. Otherwise why would he have been acting as if he were protecting me for the last few rounds? Interesting PC has all but disappeares now that the final round is here. Granted it is 2Am in England right now but he has been virtually MIA this round. Not exactly the work of a good rat.

Has anyone solved the clue? It doesn't make much sense to me. The word twain is what sticks out most to me, but not sure who this points toward. If we can solve the clue, we should find the boss.

Why do you say this? I don't know of any rule that says you can't state you don't have a special role, except for the fact that you also said "People who play with me know I don't lie in the discussions. So it would be hard for me to be the boss". That's where I'm coming from right now. So you aren't the boss, then I have to believe you are someone's rat based on your statement. PC is the most logical choice at this time I think, so that's the focus point of my research on the boss clue. Hopefully I can come up with something before the round ends.
Edit to add: I must admit this is the most fun WTB game I've ever played in. Whoever is boss, it's been a challenge and with everything that's going on for me right now, I definitely need the diversion.

I'm not saying I can't as in I am not allowed, I mean I can't as in I am unable to in good conscience. And the only time I liw in the game is on the rare occasion I am the boss I lie when I say "i am not the boss" everything else is true.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up.

If you figure out how that clue points to me let me know. I am still stuck on the twain portion. All I can fihure is that twain is Old English PC is from England but not sure how the rest of it falls into place.

Yes, you may share the clue if you so please.
sorry i didn't take too much note of the last round as i have had other things on my mind - so i am going to look over everything, and Bradon just cos people say they voted for you doesn't meant they did.
Firstly i am not the boss i hadn't ever heard of big boys until i saw it posted as the answer to the psych question and i have lived all my life in England.
secondly if i was the rat i would have been more vocal in swaying the votes,
I think either putter and habs is the boss/rat, putter is the boss because he has started most of the majority voting where as habs has jumped on the bandwagon of most of the majorities and since the rat knows who the boss is it looks more likely to me that putter is the boss and habs is the rat.

Boss Clue: CONGESTION LIVETH TWAIN
CONGESTION -the state of being crowded and full of traffic
LIVETH -the archaic third-person singular present tense suffix of live
TWAIN -archaic: two
Origin of TWAIN
Middle English, from Old English twēgen — Origin:
before 900; Middle English twayn orig., nominative and accusative masculine, Old English twēgen (cf. two); cognate with obsolete German zween
HABS, tell me how we can relate that to anyone, even if the clue is to be taken literally.

Bradon, I was just going off the use of very Old English - though we all speak English (presumably as our first language) ONLY one of us is from England (where English has its original roots).

I'm done second guessing. I gotta go with my gut, and it says you have been much too evasive. If it turns out to be PC, so be it, he's a total unknown to me. If it's HP, well it isn't the first time and won't be the last time that he's snookered me.
