Welp. Looks like the boss decided to honor who's request.
Throwing out a vote for who, may change later.
fear my cuteness.

Yeah...nothing really to go on, but I will toss in a safety for ultimate...froggy's reasoning...

Voting MDC.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

I hope you don't mind, Habs, I'm going to put you in a majority. I think the boss seems most like MDC and am thus voting for him.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

Definitely thinking it is more along the lines of what we thought R1, adult woman I am voting habs

I will join the MDCTeasers vote, his opening comment does make him suspect in my opinion.

That being said,
1) I have never called anyone dear, "Me Duck or "Me Duckie" (It's a NEWFIE THING), yes. But never dear/dearie/ or dears.
2) Until this game, I had never heard of common core. When I went to school, we were given a multiplecation table and told "memorize it". No 'figuring it out". A friend showed me how they are taught to add fractions with different denominators, looked more like an art class on drawing butterflies than a math lesson... from what I've seen, Common Core is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. I would never say it was "okay".
3) I don't eat beef. Couldn't tell you the last time I had a burger (20 years maybe). Don't even eat steak, I get chicken at THE KEG.

Wawa stated that he missed the vote which would make him a mandatory fire.
Since Dawn did receive at least six stated votes (one of them being mnk) could he have been the Rat and the Boss fired him due to that many votes? Could Dawn be our Boss?
My gut is saying to vote for Dawn, but I am going to wait until morning to vote since there are still 19 hours left before the round ends. I want to see what others think as well as see what Dawn has to say. I hate to join a majority at this point, but I will if the reasoning is sound.
Be back in the morning.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

I will, again, go with the majority on MCD. The more clears the better. We have Froggy and Dawn as clears. I still can't figure this game out half the time. Just going with the flow - but I'm figuring since I'm NOT cleared, it would be best for me to assist in clears for others ... so if I get fired, it doesn't hurt what we DO know ... yes?
bsy, you cannot get fired if you vote for the boss. So if A, B, and C vote for X and any of them gets fired, we can semi clear X as boss. We can never clear a player 100% as the players stating said votes may have forgotten to lock in their vote, or may be the rat and lied about their vote.
Usually if more than one person stated votes for the same player and both were fired, it is reasonablr to assume that X is not the boss.
If only 1 player is fired, it makes it harder to be sure.
Only players who vote in the majority will be placed on the firing list. Unlike werewolf, the entire team does not win, only the players who voted for the boss are considered to have won.

Can't you say that anytime a single player is fired, though? What made it likely that the two were working together besides the fact that they could have been? I'm not saying it isn't Dawn for sure, but you're in the exact same boat as him, Froggy, so it's a bit weird to conclude he's boss from that alone.Long day and I'm a bit out of it; but could someone explain this exchange?

I do believe MDC was commenting on Who saying that she wanted the boss to write at least a sentence in the prompts. The boss did just that and MDC commented on it, thereby making him look suspicious as the boss also likely was focused on that "request".

absy, I don't really think Dawn is cleared yet. Only one of those who stated a vote was fired, but that person could have been the Rat since Dawn did receive six stated votes and the other fire was a mandatory.
Still waiting until morning to vote. Night all.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

As for dawn, it is fine to think he's not cleared, but it's not a good idea to attempt another majority on him this round. It's a matter to be revisited later on when more suspects have been eliminated.

Well I will join the majority on Habs. After LR she was my second bet really. But don't forget there might be tricks
Chemistry is awesome!

What exactly sounds like me in the memos? Yes, the boss allowed the cloud their answer, but they are not allowed to outright lie. This game is not the first time I pointed out that I do not eat beef, (or much of anything else really). Like "Mikey", I hate everything.
But, agsin, vote for me. It is a waste of time, but will remove me from suspicion.
Of course, if the vote is split (which I think it is), we don't learn nearly as much as we do if we are all on the same page. If we don't vote together,there is really no chance of finding the boss.

Looks like 5 votes for MDC and 2 for Habs (I'm on my phone on a train so can't do a voting list).
Thanks all for explaining the Who's Question thing. I agree it's a reasonable conclusion so am changing my vote to MDC as well.

It seems to be SCREAMING Habs. Please join me to make a majority on her. Please.
BTW I won't be back on till 4pm because I still have 2 lessons left. Will check in again.

Anyway, Habs is correct, the Boss can NOT lie in the Psych answer, and it is no secret that she doesn't like red meat. I think she will eat some chicken maybe turkey, and I realize the Boss could be referring to a ground turkey burger, but I don't know of any well known fast food places that have that. So based on this Psych response I would put Habs down at the bottom of my list of suspects.

MDC and Cub seem rather like boss and rat, but if this isn't the case then kudos to the real boss and rat for using their suspicious posts against them.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?
After reading all the above posts, I'm going to go ahead and join the majority and vote for MDC. I agree that I now think Cub is the Rat because of the way he is trying to get everyone to vote for Habs. I don't think Habs is our Boss.
So, voting MDC for an employee win!
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Well, I think YOU are the rat Froggy, for saying that. One could easily say it's the other way round.
But seriously guys, we don't want the boss to get the upper hand by firing more of us, so voting Habs for an employee win!

1) it sounds nothing like me
2) you in the space of three sentences accused me of being both the rat and the boss
3) at no point did I say it sounded like you.
4) you still have not given an example of what sounds like me.
You were right about Jayo, though I, along with others, was surprised as in 5+ years of playing with him, I don't recall a lot of rhyming. You got LUCKY! Of course, at that point, there were not a lot of options left.
5) I have been the boss (successfully) often enough to know how to do it without it "SCREAMING" my nane.
As I said, go ahead, vote for me... you are the one who risks being fired, not me.

That's ridiculous rationale. The point of the game is to narrow down suspects and find the boss - the firing of employees is one way to do it. Your desperation for HABS would be reasonable in a late round where time is running out. That is not the case here, where the boss can only fire a couple of employees - not all of us.
