Take all sorrow out of life and you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur. It is the furnace that melts hearts together in love.

Not much of a hint. Only one among us who's been cleared is froggy. I'll second an RGW vote and we can clear him this round. Other than that, I'm really at a loss.

I think Skybet is the Boss and RGW is the Rat. It's mostly a gut feeling for Sky, but I skimmed through the past rounds and couldn't find anything that logically invalidates it. I can't justify RGW as well, mainly it just jumped out to me last round that at one point, they were the only ones voting nad (I know this is terrible reasoning).
Obviously the memo doesn't really tell us anything since we don't know if it's true or not, but it's interesting (in my opinion) that RGW is the only player remaining who didn't get one vote last round, besides froggy.

Thought I'd take a closer look at Sky's activity through the rounds since he's been pretty silent and I wanted to see if I could back up my claim at all.
Round 1
Did not announce whom he voted for, and did not come back that to discuss. Snow's first post was at 9:13 am Jan. 27, so the round would have ended around 9:13 am Jan. 28. From the TWG he was modding, he was definitely online between 107 pm Jan. 27 and 4:29 am Jan. 28.
Even if he was in a rush, it's weird he didn't at least give us a name in the first place. And I think he's smart enough to not confuse this with TWG, where it's easy to see people's votes.
Round 2
Only one post, "possibly" voted for me.
This round started at 126 PM Jan. 28. In the next 24 hours, he posted in TWG (4:13 am Jan. 29)
Round 3
Voted in the SilverWitch majority.
Said he thought Lost was terrible and only watched the first season. This doesn't actually contradict the psych answer. It's entirely possible he didn't watch M*A*S*H and nothing interested him until season 1 of Lost, and that only interested him for a short time.
Round 4
Showed up near the end (4:55 pm Feb. 1) to join majority on MDC. This round went from about 5:18 am Jan. 31 to 5:18 am Feb. 1. He posted in a new TWG at 115 am Jan. 31.
Round 5
Two posts this round! Voted for nad (majority was froggy, just for reference).
Personal thought: maybe he thought it was safer to stay out of a majority so it wouldn't look as if he was constantly in majorities but never fired? Or trying to bring nad into the fold of possible suspects?
--
So, there's nothing wrong with being more active in TWG than in WTB, and it's also true that he usually sticks to 1-2 posts in TWG as well, so that's not suspicious in itself. But I find it odd that he's pretty consistently showing up near the end of rounds and neglected to share/confirm his vote a couple of times.

Safety vote for now, back later to discuss.

Voting Sky..... hmmmm I wonder why the boss didn't fire me.... can we know if the rat is still here?

I am at a bit of loss for words... I guess I thought MDC was the rat... but as I mentioned, it may because he was a new player (oh well).
I am not in a rush to join a vote right now... or should I say not quite ready to vote for Sky... kinda hard to want to vote for myself. I have to laugh... to vote to clear someone - why not vote because you think you are voting for the boss, and if it isn't the boss, then you have cleared someone? I don't care if you vote for me, even though I live in So California in a non-snow area... makes me think 4demo's work this round may be good, or Nad was a good person to vote for last round.
Edit - and 4demo, I am not the rat either - but that is incidental. I'm not asking anyone to join me... though I really suspect the rat would have been in the vote against previous majority votes if for no other reason than to let the boss know who their rat is (beings lemmings show up as firing potentials - but the rat would not be on that list).

Ok, as I watched the Seahawks win the Super Bowl... I got thinking about this game.
Froggy, you are the only one cleared, so you should stay out of the two majority votes and protect yourself... unless you are convinced you know the boss.
I thought about the two votes for me and then here comes 4demo, who doesn't consider me the boss, but possibly the rat. If she was the boss or the rat, it would be real easy for her to go along with the vote on me - because the boss knows who they are and it is quite easy to go along with the flow at this point in the game. So in my eyes, 4demo is an employee.
In any case, I will vote for Skybet also... and take my chances with the way the turn of events have come together for this game.
Edit - vote confirmed for Skybet... no if's or buts. And the reason for two posts in a row was the time frame between the posts.

I guess I will have to wait until morning to vote then to see who is not voted for so that I can not be in a majority since I am cleared. I'll keep checking back until I log off to see if it is safe to vote yet...
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

I don't want to make the voting list this round(at least not right now because I am on mobile and it's very difficult to do) but at this point in time I see 3 sky votes and 2 RGW votes. I will switch to sky, so that there are 4 sky votes, 1 RGW.

Gee thanks nad... in my humble opinion, there is now 1 vote for me, 2 for Sky... it sort of confirms my thinking. Sky is not the boss... no one is supporting him and I doubt the rat is gone (I think the rat is bouncing around where-ever he thinks it is needed to say).
I am switching my vote to Sara... I am willing to lose this game in my conviction. Again, I am not asking anyone to follow me - you all use your own thinking in this approach. Nad has NO conviction to where his vote goes, he is just stating a vote in any majority going on, so Nad is probably the rat. He has played quite a few games, so he knows how it is done, but voting just to vote is not the way an "employee" should play...
Edit... vote is saved. And yes, I may sound like I am bouncing about, but I am not bouncing about to form a majority... am I?
Second Edit...if my thoughts are correct, we have a Mo0 vote right now... if Sara and Nad's votes do not count, everyone else is voting for someone NOT in a majority... so only those voting for the boss are safe. Maybe we have to see how the boss will do this? Good luck Froggy in this thinking... I could tell you to trust me as I would never put you in jeopardy as an employee... but this is a game... anything could happen (however in this game, I am watching your back... and your's too 4demo) even though "I" could be wrong...Sky or (?) could be the boss - but where is his support? Time for bed... I will try and check before heading off to work tomorrow.

Could we potentially lose this round with 2 firings? I'm not too familiar with the nuances of boss endgames. Either way, I'm not the boss, as much as I'm not too happy with my input this game, I would be a great deal more ashamed if I was the boss. My initial brief posts were intended to be followed up with more analytical posts but I have had a busy few weeks with work and didn't get around to it, so I apologise.
Who exactly left is cleared? When was froggy cleared? Was this last round? I thought it was glaringly obvious she wasn't the boss based on last round memo. The reason I'm sticking with RGW is because I stick by my analysis last round and thought we cleared nad. Did we not?
Ps. Voting me based on the first round Taco bel memo is not too wise considering I have NEVER been there.

It's not at all irrelevant, it makes it ENTIRELY less likely. If it's irrelevant there is absolutely no point in the memos

The memos have fingered some bosses, and cleared others. But, it is also important to note how often the players either play with each other, or are even known by the other players. There are several players in this game whom I have never played with, or only once or twice... and I would not know their situation.
For instance the one about the driving in a blizzard coming home... which did infact sound like a current event, cleared a couple people in my eyes, because I am aware of where they live and their circumstances. It probably cleared me in others because they know about where I live. I used to have a page in my wiki about the Tournament of Roses Parade that occurs in Pasadena, California every January 1st... I had pictures of being a part of that and helping to build a float for our city every year. I don't do that anymore, due to minor health reasons, but it sort of "proved" where I live. I even drove down the parade route as a driver of our city float one year not too long ago... that was a blast... and the year after that I was on the float as an observer, which was fun in its own rights. Can I prove it to someone who does not know me? Not if they do not want to believe it, but to those who have played with me, this has come up before.
Remember there are interviews in the General discussion of the community section. I was interviewed, Skybet you were a recent interviewee, Froggy was interviewed, but her interview is gone...etc. things said there have surfaced as prompt answers before too.
I have to leave for work now, will not be home before this round is over. Good luck employees.

Well, I have no choice now - the time is running out for me to vote. I do not want to be a majority since I am cleared. With that said, I see demo has no votes so she seems a safe vote for me at this point.
Voting Demo as a safety vote so please do not join me in this vote anyone.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

I feel like the Boss is one of Skybet or SaraGrace. Now that I look more closely, Sara hasn't been super active in most rounds either, so it probably isn't reasonable to single out Sky for this.
I'm willing to vote either way, provided we can get a definite clear on somebody.

I live in London. We have not had a flake of snow ALL winter, and I have never even seen a Taco Bel. If I was the Boss, I would be completely lying, which is against the rules. The boss is so obviously American. Nobody has answered me if we are wrong is it game over?
