[color=orange]RULES[/color]
[color=green]Here are the rules for this game:[/color]
1. All normal rules apply except when an item is purchased and used.
2. Each round will have a Challenge. See the Challenge Listing below the Bazaar for more information.
3. Every constructive single post = 1 point. Double posts are worth zero unless three 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 [color=red]MUST[/color] 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 [color=green]green[/color], [color=purple]purple[/color], and [color=red]red[/color]. Please do not use them. Green is for comments, purple for official text, and red for important things like urgent announcements and warnings.
8. The use of the word "he" in reference to the Boss does not imply gender and is used simply to have a pronoun.
9. Discussion of log-on times is forbidden.
10. Any player who does not post in a round and fails to provide a legitimate excuse for the absence will be fired.
[color=red]NEW![/color] 11. To use an item, please follow rules 4 and 5. When you want to use an item, check to see if there are any Essences of the correct type for you to use. If there are, go ahead! If not, see what you can do to increase the number of Essences in the Essence Pools.

If any player posts a valid post with the secret Keyword in it, he or she will win a free item and a Miracle Essence. The word is a potentially everyday word. (So, it's not 'hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia'.) Word lists do not count. The word must be found in a sentence inside a valid post. This has a good history of promoting activity, so let's see some interesting stories! (Update: remember that the post does not have to be about the game. Also, any tense of the word will work as well [*-s, *-ing, *-ed, *-like, etc. will all do.)[/color] [color=purple]This Challenge lasts until the end of the game.[/color][/color]

What excellent grammar from the boss. Someone. Older perhaps!
I managed to get the third and fourth words unscrambled, but am stuck on the first two. Not sure if I should post the two I have here - jarmihi, is that okay or is posting even part of the answer a disqualifier?
I am putting in a vote for kitty-cat so I don't get fired, but I'll be back later. I think maybe we should do Majority of One?

The memo does sound like someone older or at least with good word sense. Having just played with masterbrain and tallguy I don't think it would be them.
I have 1 of the words I can't get the 1st 3though

Kaipper: That's fine. No rule has changed in respect to the challenge, it's just now explicitly stated. You CANNOT do one of these numbers:

My answer is:

...and they are all words.
I won't answer, and you'll have a nice disqualification.

I have voted for Jayo as a safety vote. In the meantime, I'll try and solve the challenge.

Random vote for legend.
kaipper - you can talk about what you have done, you just can't post the solutions. For instance, you say you got the third and fourth words. Are they English or another language? Are they more than one word?
Sorry I'm late, guys. Safety for someone for now (I'll edit and say who). I'll work on the words.
EDIT: It was TallGuy.

faheem1: several years ago, almost every moderator was like this...this was normal. Now it's considered something special.
dcf525: please do not use the color green. Thank you. You could try something like sea green (color=#006633).
Since no one has answered the clue yet, and there are only seven hours left, here's a hint:
One of the letters is an impostor. It is the same letter for all four words.

Hello friends,
I couldn't unscramble the words just yet,
due to lack of my vocabulary,
but I hope I'll be able to soon.
I'm new to this game though,
I'll safe vote for hermygranger123cca,
I understand that a safe vote is a temporary one, am I right ?

I will keep updating the list, but as of right now this means we are all lemmings if the firings get that far. As of now there are six candidates for modfirings. I think this means all of us potential lemmings are safe.

Anyway so the keyword is just a random word right? Then it could be anything from the legend of zelda to any anime universe or an tv show or even real life. So the best chance is just to put words in a sentence that makes logical sense filled with all of the vocabulary possible

Max - go to the party link on Jarmini's first post in round zero for a BIG clue to the scramble. What I meant was "what is this really - 3 essences?"

Okay, I made a mistake. The second word in the challenge is actually COGSENOCTHLI.
scrub88 pointed that out, so +3 to scrub88.
Everyone who tried to solve it by this point gets +2.
Everyone who posts in this round by the end of the round gets +1.
All of these points will be awarded at the conclusion of Round 1.
Check out the bazaar. There are a set number of Essences at the top of each segment of items. When you purchase a reagent (Rock, Paper, or Scissors), you combine it with an Essence to make an item whenever you wish to use an item.

Check out the bazaar. There are a set number of Essences at the top of each segment of items. When you purchase a reagent (Rock, Paper, or Scissors), you combine it with an Essence to make an item whenever you wish to use an item.

So that's why it didn't make sense

We have 27 minutes left for the keyword (unless it counts after voting ends?)
I would write a lot to try and get it but I'm on my phone. I'll do my best...
Once upon a time in a far away land there lived a person whose name was Bob. Bob had a very interesting life (I really don't know what I'm saying, bear with me. I have no clue.) One day, Bob said that he wanted to go to the store to get some milk. So he started walking, but first he plugged in his phone, just like the author of this awful story had to do a minute ago. Unfortunately, he couldn't find the cord. How sad. So the battery died. Then he said I don't really care and started walking to the store. This is the most amazing story you have ever read. Anyway, on the way to the store he tripped and fell in a puddle of water. "Oh no," he said. "This is bad. But at least the lazy author finally used quotation marks, so I can tell what I'm saying and doing. Whatever." He got up and kept walking, but he accidentally forgot that the store was 20 miles from his house, in downtown Seattle. Instead of walking all the way, he drank water instead with lots of ice and pretended it was milk. The end.
Beautiful. (Yes, I normally write better than this. I'm lazy, I told you. And on my phone.)

Will there be multiple keyword challenges? So at some point saying any of two or three different words will win the challenge?
Greetings, everyone! Round 1 has ended. Here are some items of note:
-posts do not count for points in between rounds
-you cannot win a Keyword Challenge in between rounds
-if you make a purchase, that transaction won't go through until the first instant of the next round
-as per the normal game rules established by Jake, you are not permitted to discuss the voting any further
Please consider the end of the round to be a "down time." You may still have conversations, of course, but no official happenings will occur between rounds, except between the Boss and me.
There is an opportunity to unlock a second Keyword Challenge in Round 3.

kitty-cat successfully completed the Keyword Challenge!
The Keyword was, "normal." Since any variant of the Keyword is accepted, "normally" is a valid response, and kitty-cat earns a free item and a Miracle Essence!

I will give it a try. Let's say that you have a really good psych question that, if asked of the boss, will divulge his/her true identity. So you buy the golden quill and use it. The boss answers divulging their identity and we win the game.

I sent in my guess for the scrambled words, I had some trouble with one of them. Saftey vote for faheem. And thanks, scrubs. I think I understand.
