Who's The Boss
Game #3108: Who's the Boss
This private game is moderated by RGW4. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 6 rounds.
Psych Question:
As our companies on-going literate program, I am forcing all employees including the boss to read a book. The boss will be responsible for stating what genre of literature that everyone will be reading based on the bosses favorite genre, the exact title will be left to the employee but it must fit the genre.
Psych Answer:
I would have to say my favorite genre to read is either non-fiction or historically based fiction.
**Mod note: so when you have time in the next 2 months, you should read a book of one of these genre, and let the boss know what you think of the choice... as for me, I will wait for the movie. Good luck on the new day!
Bobbi and Radio just could not let well enough alone - ending what could have been a wonderful time with the company.

Looks like Froggy is cleared. I'd stay out of any majorities if I were you - that is, unless froggy is the rat.
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.

Unless we are pretty sure who the Boss is, I will probably stay out of the majorities. For now, I'm going to wait until morning to vote as I want to see what others have to say.
No, snowy - I'm not the Rat either.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Yep, Froggy is clear. Not at lot to go on right now, going to wait for a bit more activity before I commit to anything but will place a safety vote for Gizzer for now.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

We need a solid majority, folks!
Obviously, I won't vote for myself. Voting for mocha
Edit: vote confirmed.

I have this feeling that Giz likes non-fiction... I can't prove it, and don't have time to search, she was just the first thought that came to my mind. I will be voting Giz.
I, too, think we need a solid majority here.

I'm going to vote for Habs for a few different reasons and to stay out of a majority.

We have this round, and next? Please confirm mod! I'm assuming we still have the rat too, right?
For now, I will place a vote for Gizzer. I can change this, if I feel the need.

Well, my suspects are Gizzer, Mocha and HABS, and I'm not ruling froggy out as the rat, but. . . . . what if Gizzer is the rat, and HABS is the boss. . . . . Ugggh.

Sorry for the double post, but something's not setting right with me. If froggy is cleared of being the boss, fine. But what if she's the rat? Sure she said she wasn't but these games are all about lying and deceit.
What if she's a simple employee. . . . . now this is where I have questions. If froggy is a simple employee, then the rat and boss are both voting for Gizzer. Which would be Mocha and HABS, and that would rule Gizzer out of being the boss.
If Gizzer is the rat, she has done her job in getting or allowing a majority to form on her, even if the rat is voting for her, the other 2 are in danger of being fired.
IF froggy is a simple employee, then Gizzer can't be the boss. So, to "me", the boss is either Mocha or HABS. . . . .
I am changing my vote to Mocha.
If Gizzer is the rat, and she's actually voting for the boss (Mocha), I think this is the first time I've seen this play take place. Of course the rats vote doesn't count. . . . but still.
If I survive the round, and there's a 5th round, I'll be voting for HABS, I think.

That is quite an analysis, the only problem is, I am neither the boss nor the rat.
1) I HATE the heat. I much prefer the cold. I am sure you recall the profile pic I had up of a kid wearing shorts and a t-shirt building a snowman? There is a reason we sought out snow to play in during the summer ... (not that it was hard, there are 20+ ice pads in town).
Though I've never been there, I am pretty sure that Africa is quite warm.
2) This could be me, though I don't mind the rain in the spring.
3) As was pointed out by someone, meat is not high on my list of foods I eat.
4) Read my profile, I mention class.Lit but not non-fiction. My profile has been the same for years.

Snow, you're asking me if there will be another round? From the person who has modded like 40+ games and this is my first...
In all honestly, let's say the rat is with us... we have 5 players, in this case, 3 are regular employees.
The rules state for the boss to win, there must be only one player left and therefore the boss fires that person and wins. I think it is safe to say, that there are two or three rounds left... because I think the boss will only be able to fire one employee this round (this I am not sure of, but it seems as if late in a game, firings are limited).
Then we would have round 5... where again, if the rat is still with us, and the boss fires one regular employee, the last remaining employee doesn't have a chance and is fired by the system and the boss wins.
If the rat is gone, we still have to work down to one employee against the boss for the boss to win... which basically means if we get down to 3 players and the round is active... the rat is GONE and the two regular players have to figure out who to vote for.
I am more than willing to accept a better defination/ruling from many of you still playing... I know several of you have modded quite a few games.
I do know one thing I can safely tell you... the boss is a female! There, I said I would give a clue... that seems like a safe one!

To what end? The way the votes stand now, there are 3 on Gizzer (mine included) and 1 on Mocha. If I change my vote, it will just tie teh votes 2-2. That will serve us no purpose.
UNLESS .... YOU are the rat and Gizzer is the boss. That would explain you're suggesting that I change my vote.

You act as if you know who the boss is. . . . There's not 3 on Gizzer at the moment, there are 2, I took my vote off her. So if you vote for Mocha, she would have 3 votes.
What I said before, if froggy is a simple employee, there's no way Gizzer could be the boss. I know I'm not, froggy is cleared, that leaves you, Mocha and Gizzer, and with Gizzer getting yours and Mocha's votes, I'd say, you and Mocha are boss/rat.
Come on over and make 3 votes for Mocha. . . ..
Oh, and you are wrong, Mocha has 2 votes, not 1 - and Gizzer now has 2 votes, so it's tied up at the moment. Of course Boss and rat votes don't count, but wanted to point this out so NO ONE IS CONFUSED by your mistake. . . .
Yep, if Mocha isn't the boss, then I think HABS is. . . .

And we end up with no clear majority.
Even so, if the boss fires someone, the person that got fired is clearing who they voted for. Right? Then there will be 2 cleared players and the boss and rat, if the rat is still in the game. Am I thinking correctly?

No, snowy, you are not thinking correctly. You are not allowing for the possibility that froggy or whoever is cleared by the firing is the Rat. You are not allowing for the possibilty that whoever is fired is the Rat. You don't allow for the possibilty of froggy being fired, either because she is the Rat, or if the Boss and Rat are "voting" for different people.
Your analysis that explains your vote change is also flawed. You start with the assumption that froggy is not the Rat. You then assume that means the Boss and Rat are voting for me, clearing me. As much as I would like to be cleared, it doesn't work. Then, you say that makes mocha and Habs the Boss and Rat, clearing yourself, but that doesn't work either.
We needed a solid majority to avoid speculation of Rat suicide, to clear someone based on the firing, and to protect froggy if she is an employee.
But we don't have that because you changed your vote. We can't even be sure your vote was sucessfully changed.
This erratic behaviour makes me very suspicious of you now.
