Well, I guess that means I am cleared. *coughs I told you so* Lol.
Two of my suspects were fired though. Buu is still on my suspect list, but now so is Koin, and possibly Kmr. Koin because he was willing to fire Braingle01, and Kmr because I feel like she is flying under the radar, making voting lists and buying insurance to throw us off.
Sorry, nothing to see here folks, keep moving.

I already told you gyus why I wanted braingle gone, and how it would actually help us. Now that she's here, I hope she sticks around.
I think buu could be a good idea this round. I think the switching with memo words is something he would do. Plus, the colgate/crest seemed a little forced, after all no one had even brought it up yet.
Voting buu, though i might change if someone comes up with something better.
EDIT: Sweet, first time answering the riddle.

So much for my hunch from last round - that player was fired...
I'll go for kmrutledge this time.

I am kind of stumped. Not exactly sure who to vote for. My suspects are caberet and buu. Caberet only posts like one time in each round, maybe because she is trying not to draw suspicion to herself. This round I am going with caberet.
The faster I type in my password, the more secret agent-y I feel.

just waiting to see who shrutibax transfers her points to. i am leaning on kmr this round. mosttly coz of her insistence to let braingle01 stay. i know it might be pure good intentions, but i am gonna look past that now, since people think i'd lie about the toothpaste i use. so my vote is on kmrutledge.

@dcf: you know koin and i were justified at that point when we were trying to modfire braingle01. i had posted about how she'll be a goldmine on FP for the boss as she hadn't posted at all at that time.
right now, except for cab and braingle, none of us are worth any FP to the boss, i think. last round, firing shrutibax coz of her points was fine, and poofie was a mandatory. but if one of these two aren't fired this round, it will be a bit suspicious.

About the braingle01 thing, I don't like to see a good player like her just modfired because she does not post. Not everyone has to post you know?

that is possible. and what do you mean by 'not everyone has to post'? these games are based on discussion. participation means posting as well as voting, not just voting without contributing anything else to the game.
i know its good she has started posting now, but i dont like how people said a few rounds back that she is clear. i still have my suspicion on the two of you.

I'm having second thoughts about braingle being cleared. Totally confused really. I think our best shot is to work on the clues.
Also, kmr, atleast in my opinion, voting without posting is the same as not voting at all. It doesn't help the team in any way. I'm trying very very hard not to be harsh about this because I'm a huge softie on the internet but braingle01 needs to continue posting. Moreover, her posts last round were helpful! No reason to stop.
Also, we have overtime pay this round! Good idea, buu. Let's all be active this round!
A king that is conquered must see strange looks. So bitter a thing is the heart of man.

I'm voting dcf for the simple reason I need some more time to think about this. Kmr is on my suspect list. Cab isn't. As weird as it sounds, I'm still inclined to consider braingle and buu cleared.
In order of suspicion:
Kmrutledge
koin_era
braingle
buu
dcf
cabaret.
Edit: fixing colors
We need to solve the clues people. shrutibax is on now so we should expect to see some points transferred soon. Ofcourse, the mod also has to be on.
Possible clue solution?
Ok. So the first clue. It's voiced by Jeffrey Sinclair in Babylon 5. Searching for Jeffrey Sinclair gave me two hits. One was the Babylon 5 commander and the other was Brigadier General Jeff Sinclair, who (some people believe) was wrongly framed by the army. Now, this is where I started backtracking by searching names of players against hits. What I got is that K.M.Rutledge wrote a book called "More Than A Lifetime" about government conspiracies. If anything, the Jeffrey Sinclair thing is an army conspiracy, but this is the closest I got. What say people?
Changing vote to kmrutledge. Voting list has been updated.

No! No. I want to use the Lens of Truth ON kmrutledge. The description says: Reveal identity of target. Reveal identity of kmr, please. Sorry if that was confusing.

Gotcha:
princess2007 purchased the Lens of Truth!
princess2007 used a Miracle!
On your way home from the office today, you notice a glowing light from an otherwise dark room. You look into the window to find kmrutledge there, sitting at her computer, typing furiously. Since there's no one around, and kmrutledge is in the dark, you decide to look through your Lens of Truth. You see what she is trying to do on her computer: hack the system to show the Boss who voted for whom! From that, you determine...
kmrutledge...is the Rat!

That... is confusing. So now, who's the boss? braingle01? Gosh. Good work as Rat, kmr. Now I have no idea about who could be boss. Looks like my solution of the clue is wrong too. All I know for sure now is that me, dcf, and cabaret are not the boss. Cabaret because kmr voted for her this round.
My vote is back on dcf.
Now that I think about it, Kmr as rat should've been obvious. She bought the golden quill. However, the changing of voice of memos every round manifests some sort of confidence which I don't get from braingle01's writing style. (No offence intended, honestly) So, who is it... Koin_era?
I just don't see buu writing Crest as his tootpaste of choice. That's no basis of clearing him, it just puts him lower in my suspect list. I'm going to read over all of kmr's posts.
Also, you're all going to have to change your votes from kmr... I guess.
Edit: Mod, me too! I came for the brainteasers and stayed for the games! I love WWG too.

Okay so kmr is rat? This is weird. How is two clues accidentally point to two other people in game when it should only point to the boss, a third person it really means for? Are they clearing clues? Who thought it was boss clues?
Who is not cleared yet? koin_era345, buu441, caberet?
Princess, it is not dcf. We all voted her last round and the game isn't ended.
I'm just going to vote for koin.

All clues point to the Boss. Based on how many Divination Cards were spent on each clue, they are easier or more difficult.

I know it isn't dcf, braingle01. It's a safety vote.
All the three people you mentioned braingle are not cleared so to speak. Just as you aren't. In my mind though, kmr pointed to buu and cab this round. Since she voted for cab, I don't think it's cab. She mentioned buu, so I'm not completely sure.
Also, the Lens of Truth I currently have needs to be protected. Either me or dcf should stay out of majorities. If you guys want to protect dcf, I'll buy employment insurance and join the majority. Otherwise, I'll stay out of majorities.
Let me know!

All the three people you mentioned braingle are not cleared so to speak. Just as you aren't. In my mind though, kmr pointed to buu and cab this round. Since she voted for cab, I don't think it's cab. She mentioned buu, so I'm not completely sure.
Also, the Lens of Truth I currently have needs to be protected. Either me or dcf should stay out of majorities. If you guys want to protect dcf, I'll buy employment insurance and join the majority. Otherwise, I'll stay out of majorities.

oh. yeah. i just remembered about the clues given by the mod used to work in the previous store games. each clue would normally point to a part of the boss's name, not the entire name at once. so when you combine the parts from all the clues together, you get the boss.
@mod: do you have the link of your previous store games? i'd just like to see game end discussions of those games once to remember exactly how your clues worked. that'd help us a bit in working these ones out.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!

I am surprised that you guys did not figure this out until now. Anyway, I am the only one who knows who the boss is, and it feels kind of weird not that everyone knows that I am the rat.(Just so you know I am really going to try to trick you now. So be careful) If I were you I would vote for koin_era345, like I would have done if I was an employee.

Haha. Nice try kmr. Why would you suddenly try to help us out now you're outed as rat. Thanks for definitely clearing cabaret for us.
Also, buu have you changed votes? Let us know please.
I have links to some of jarmihi's games. With a bit of time on your hands, you can just go up to the URL of this page and change the game id.
I don't think it's against the rules to share game links so I'll post the ones I can find.

Thanks for the miracle Princess- I have a long day ahead and I could use some divine attention.
If I have time, I will go back and review KMR's posts to see who see tried to steer us towards. I may not be back until just before voting ends.
Happy Braingle birthday, Mod! Like you and Princess, I found this site for the teasers, specifically the logic problems-love 'em!- but stayed for WTB & WWG.
Sorry, nothing to see here folks, keep moving.

I'll suggest we vote koin_era this round. If we're wrong, I'll send the lens to someone else and they can divine the boss for us. (Hopefully we'll be in a position to do that). I'm voting koin so stay out of this one dcf, I guess?

yeah. i had changed my vote to cab after my last post. i kinda disagree with princess's order of suspicion. for me, the only not cleared players are braingle, koin and cab. braingle and cab top my suspect, with koin in third place. i don't see anything he'd gain from modfiring her as boss.
so I'd vote for either cab or braingle this round. voted cab.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!

My list has kind of changed I guess.
koin
braingle01
buu441
That's it. From my experience of WTB, the only thing I'm sure of is that Cab isn't the boss. She struck me as being the rat for the last few rounds but I'm practically confident she isn't the boss. That, combined with Kmr pointing out Cab under the ruse of "being tricky", has me firmly convinced Cab is an employee.
I went back and checked out the mod's clues. They're always so hard! But thanks for the tip, buu, I see jarmihi uses PARTS of players' names. Now I'm searching for "era" and "koin".
Edit:
Okay. I'm kinda excited about this.
"Hearts of Space is a United States weekly syndicated public radio show[4] featuring music of a contemplative nature[5] drawn largely from the ambient, New Age and electronic genres."
Whatever begins, also ends. It IS a quote from Seneca, but let's take it literally. The beginning of an era/ the end of an era are phrases I can definitely see as being used.
It was the dawn of the Third Age of mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari war.
Age-Era. I see something here. If there is a "koin" reference here though, I don't see it.
Honestly, I have reasons to consider both buu and braingle SORTA cleared so I'm leaning heavy on koin.

I may know who the boss is, but I still don't get how the clues point to him, maybe you guys can figure that out.

i think princess got a point on this one. I'll agree it sounds more like koin when you interpret the clues that way. I'll change my vote once i get on my pc. the phone screen is tiny, so it is hard to select a bubble -_- for now, my vote is still on cab.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
Well, well, well, kmrutledge, way to make things interesting while I'm gone.
Princess, what is it about buu that you think kinda clears him? I feel about 50-50 if he's the boss or not, but the only thing holding me back is that no clues I can solve point toward him.
How exactly would kmr be my rat? She was way against me on the topic of firing braingle1. Buu would be the much better pairing, i mean he agreed with me on braingle firing and then has cab and braingle as suspects above me.
And finally, what would I gain by answering the riddle if I was the boss? Or by buying employment insurance?
Keeping my vote on buu.
Happy ever after in the marketplace, Desmond lets the children lend a hand. Molly stays at home and does her pretty face, and in the evening she's the singer with the band!

by answering the riddle, you earn yourself points, which we might have earned otherwise. so that is no basis for clearing you. about buying insurance, that might just be to throw us off.
and just to be clear, you were at the bottom of my suspect list till princess gave the last explanation of the clues. unless you somehow get a better explanation of them, I'm inclined to agree with that reasoning.
edit: finally got on pc. changed my vote to koin.
and the next comment was deleted coz my phone posted the same thing twice.

But you still can't answer the question of how kmr would be my rat? She has mentioned me a few times in list of suspects.
I'm starting to wonder about braingle01. Why is she suddenly going quiet again? Debating switching there, idk.

Koin, I'll address your question about braingle01 in a minute. Have to work on the clue for now.
In case I don't get on before the round ends, vote still on koin.
Edit: Ok. First my clue solution. I'm going to be honest here and say I might be a bit biased by my current suspicion of koin. But atleast this has a legitimate reason. The civilizations listed above were among the first to use coins- including the Chinese and Greeks in particular. All of the above fall somewhere in the chronology of coin usage becoming popular. The Aborigines, on the other hand, didn't use coins. But they are rather famous for being depicted on Australia's coins (a touchy and controversial subject, from what I see)-
image.
Secondly, other than those clue solutions. Koin's defense doesn't strike me as employee-ish. If I were the employee, I just wouldn't try that defense.
Koin, a rat's primary job is to throw suspicion on everyone- including the boss but mostly on themselves. That's why I said kmr's done a great job as rat. She's included pretty much every non-cleared player here in her lists of suspicion.
As for braingle01, I doubt she's going to all of a sudden become the most active player here. She'll probably need some time to edge out of her shell.
Why do I consider buu441 clear? Well, it's because of that toothpaste thing. It might be a minor point but I very much doubt someone would lie about that. It's not against the rules or anything but it would sorta be a .... for want of a better word, sleazy way to have yourself cleared.
That's all I got, folks. These clues are hard but will probably be all "oh. duh" when we know the answers. Crossing my fingers we're right about koin.

Haha! People. We're probably not wrong about koin. Kmr just edited her post about "If I were you, I'd vote cab." to "If I were you, I'd vote koin." I refuse to go by anything she says but why bother changing names now? Also, I realize this is a double post but I meant to separate the purchase. Didn't work. I type long posts.

I made it! I read through these posts, and it is a bit confusing keeping track of everyone's vote. Kmr, I know you are the rat, but couldn't you still help us out? Lol.
I think the clues could point to Koin, but I also think we may be trying to hard to make them fit. The first clue was only one c--- (I forgot the word no time to check) away from the solution. Koin's defense was lacking though- most people would say, 'Sure, vote for me. But I am not the Boss...'
At this point, I have made a habit a voting buu, so-
Sorry, nothing to see here folks, keep moving.

Sorry for the multiple posts- I just reviewed Kmr's posts, and she never did seem to implicate or defend anyone (except Braingle01). She said would vote with the majority for clears and she made voting lists. Smart.
