Thanks for taking the hit, SEEKR! Hopefully we'll get some good news (that the mouse is gone). If not, at least we'll know what we're dealing with.
At this point, with four people left, for me it is between JAYO and OMAR. I'll wait to see what we find out about the mouse, before selecting someone.
On a side note, I really enjoy this game, with the rules and restrictions. It really makes me think about what I'm posting and what I'm saying, and I like that. I feel like it adds another layer of challenge to the game. My current goal is to get the head honcho and have the employees win the game, without incurring any strikes. I feel like if we can get it right this round, we've got it in the bag.

Safety for JAYO. Also, thanks SEEKRGRL! That information will definitely be valuable. SEEKRGRL has been cleared which leaves only me, FAITH, and JAYO. I included myself because what FAITH said in the last round is completely correct. It isn't enough to state that you aren't the mastermind. Sorry about that last round everyone! I knew I wasn't going to be able to post for the rest of the round, so I just put all of my theories out there. Sorry MATHGEEK. I shouldn't have thought that you wouldn't be treating every player fairly in terms of the strikes that you give out. The good thing is that it started some discussion. With that said, we need to make sure that we all choose the same person because this may or may not be the last round. I'm going to wait until the information pertaining to the snitch (for lack of a better word) is revealed. You came up with hard rules MATHGEEK!
Mouse is such a great word for that person! I should've used that instead of snitch! That makes more sense.
I believe our Overseer must be either OMAR or FAITH.
OMAR has made a couple of accusations in my direction and I think maybe he must be the Mouse and is protecting FAITH.
Either that or FAITH is OMAR's mouse but for now I believe I shall trust that FAITH is the Overseer.
I believe that SEEKER'S sacrifice is enough to show that she is neither Mouse nor Overseer.
I am happy with my decision regarding FAITH and I hope you shall join me SEEKER.
I don't think we can trust OMAR.

Well, this may well be the end, as JAYO said. It's hard, because like I said earlier, I know that me saying I'm not the overseer (to use JAYO's word) doesn't do any good. However, I know that I'm not the overseer, but it's hard to defend yourself (because no one would believe you if you say you're not).
So, I go back to my original thought which is that it's either JAYO or OMAR. I agree that SEEKR is probably not the mouse, because she wouldn't sacrifice herself if she was. I see why JAYO is suspicious of OMAR, but I don't feel like I've been anything less than helpful this game.
Therefore, I am thinking that this is JAYO's last attempt to win the game. I saw this in one of my last werewolf games where one of the wolves threw a human under the bus, and just needed his fellow wolf and another human to finish the game. Unfortunately, they managed to get a human to go along with their plan, and it was game over.
We need a majority or we don't win, correct? I am putting in my selection for JAYO now. I guess we'll see how it all plays out.

I am waiting until MATH reveals the information before I make another move. I hope he gets on soon. You are all making valid points and until we have more information I will reserve judgement.
"Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably beriable."
"Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably beriable."
Reveals what information? Do you want to inflict the strikes on yourself?

MATH, I believe SEEKR had two errors in her post, so she assumed that she had two strikes against her. Does she only get one strike because they were both in the same post?
So she (and we) were waiting for the information regarding the mouse.
As for the werewolf game, it was actually a WITTYKITTY / NICATS / MOCHA game, although I'm sure the game played out in a similar fashion.

It looks like I am going to be the one to make the decision and no one is clear. OMAR, who are you accusing?
"Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably beriable."
"Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably beriable."
This has been one of the most intense games that I have ever played! I just have a safety on JAYO. I was waiting for the mouse to be revealed before I made my final decision. If it was DCF, then I would definitely believe that the overseer is JAYO because the last round, he said that after we clear WHEELS, then we should clear FAITH and he never even mentioned anything about clearing JAYO. Is the offer of revealing the mouse still on the table if someone gets two strikes?
I believe that JAYO is not the overseer. That leaves OMAR or FAITH and I can't decide which I believe less. I think that I am going to accuse OMAR for now.
"Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably beriable."
"Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably beriable."
We can't be divided! This may be the last round!
FAITH - JAYO
JAYO - FAITH
OMAR - JAYO
SEEKRGRL - OMAR
If you believe that JAYO is not the overseer, I will change my ballot to FAITH. I have no proof that FAITH is or isn't the overseer. I just thought that she wasn't because of a gut feeling, but we need to vote together for the same person or it'll do us no good. (On a side note, I just want to apologize again! I get a little paranoid in later rounds.)

If you think that the overseer is more likely OMAR than JAYO, I am willing to change my selection to OMAR. We can go in with a fifty/fifty selection of OMAR and myself. If JAYO switches to OMAR, then we'd have a clear majority.
Although, of course, someone's selection is not going to count, so our numbers will be slightly skewed either way.
I just know that it's not me, and I don't think it's SEEKR (since we cleared you). However, I don't want to lose this game by splitting our selections, and I know that a vote for me will be a win for the overseer, which is frustrating since we're so close to winning the game.
So for now I will switch my vote to OMAR. I trust SEEKR more than I trust either JAYO or OMAR.
The question becomes whether who JAYO trusts the most.
In addition, a side note to JAYO's theory that OMAR is the mouse and that I am the overseer: If OMAR was the mouse, wouldn't it make sense for OMAR to stick with his selection for JAYO (or fake selection) and let the game end? OMAR wanting to switch and select me as the overseer would be a really bad mouse move, don't you think? So that tells me that OMAR is probably the overseer and is scared of losing the game. Granted, I still question JAYO, but OMAR is definitely not playing a good mouse game, if JAYO's theory of me being the overseer and him being the mouse is correct.So I see that fear as an indication that OMAR is afraid that I will vote with SEEKR against him, and then he'll lose the game.

There's only 5 hours left in the round! Either way that this round pans out, I just want to applaud everyone! This has been one pretty amazing game!
Okay we need to state who we are accusing, and hope that there is one more round. I am going to say that JAYO is the overseer, and I will cast my ballot accordingly.
Guys I am not the Overseer and if we all go for FAITH then we have a Rodent proof majority!
I don't think the memos sound like me at all so please don't waste your ballots.
We ascertained that SEEK is clear of being the Overseer.
She is not cleared of being the Rodent but I doubt she is. It is possible I suppose but I doubt it.
OMAR is either the Overseer or the Rodent I think. Based on this I am more interested in who FAITH and SEEK think is worthy of my ballot.
FAITH is either a regular Joe or the Overseer I think.
For the moment my finger points at FAITH.
I'm not the Overseer
This has indeed been an interesting game!

I am going to cast my ballot for OMAR. FAITH has also agreed to do so. JAYO if you don't join us we won't be able to form a majority on anyone because OMAR won't accuse FAITH. Our best bet is to accuse OMAR

I would like to say I hid in white text in a previous post stating the "mouse" is alive. Nobody seemed to catch it.
Yeah, this game could very well end in an hour. GG, everybody. Was fun to moderate!
