Returning to the question of being feared or loved, I come to the conclusion that, men loving according to their own will and fearing according to that of the prince, a wise prince should establish himself on that which is in his own control and not in that of others; he must endeavor only to avoid hatred.

"In an apparent twist, former VP Frank 'nad' Underwood has decided to run for President. Prisoner #23123, also known as the fraudster President Spid, issued a statement saying that he was glad his VP was having a run at the ticket and that he is innocent of all charges. Contrary to this statement, sources at the prison indicate that he has called Nad a 'backstabber' and that he 'should have just selected the Orangutan to run as his VP'. The orangutan made himself available for comment this morning. When asked about the possibility of running for VP by an AP reporter, he responded with grunting and shoving the microphone of the reporter up his rectum. The reporter suffered only minor injuries."

Huh. The boss legitimately would rather be feared? That's their truthful response. Yeah, I don't understand that. Aren't the only political leaders who are feared, well, you know, dictators? Even in a non-political sense, though, who would want to be feared?
The boss either sounds like, or is trying to sound like, a cynical conservative Braingler given their true answers. I'm not actually sure about Whovian's political affiliation, but I don't picture her as the boss unless she's trying to mask herself, which is of course possible, but seems a bit less likely to me. MDC and KZ are both younger players and I don't think they'd be as cynical as the boss seems to me. I don't see them writing the memos.
Who, you can tell us who you fired at least last round. If you didn't fire anyone then I think Cub's firing leaves me somewhat cleared so at least we don't have to slog through a wasted round with that.
So yeah I'm going to lean towards Spider or Waylander as the boss for now. Spider was president last round, too, but I'm still not sure if he fired anyone last round. So, for now, I'll vote for Waylander as the boss.
I'm going to abstain from now for voting for the prez, but I'd rather have Nad than Waylander at this point.

Also, Spider, why do you think this? I mean, I understand the suspicion, but why have you removed the other players as suspects? Your comment makes you seem like the rat.

There are only two people (who in my estimation) are well spoken (or 'well worded' ) enough to produce the memos (specifically this one) you and Whovian.
If it's not you or Hoove its a total guess, though I suppose if someone has examples/evidence of the other players memos I am all ears
(granted I do not know Waylander so perhaps I rushed to judgement in his case)

The boss is maybe trying to run for president.

Ooooooh! Nice!
Voting for Waylander for boss vote
Voting nad for El Presidente
I don't think the memo sounds like me, but I like that people think it could be me.
I'm okay with people voting to clear me.
"My political life is over. I will never again have an opportunity to serve in any official position. Maybe I can give a little advice from time to time.
And so I can only say that in answer to your question that while technically I did not commit a crime - an impeachable offense - these are legalisms."
It's a disease, not a punch line

Whov, who did you use your president powers for?

Day 311 of FireGate. Former President Whov was under fire at today's hearings. Attorney General kz interrogated the former President; grilling her to reveal how far the abuse of power really went. President Whov plead the 5th.
[Female anchor]
Sources from the Wayland camp accused front runner nad of offering a pardon to the former president in exchange for her endorsement."

That sounds a bit weak. You'd definitely remember such a big decision, wouldn't you? This is potentially removing an innocent player from the game and that response seems a bit off to me. There are some people voting for Who and pushing for Who which could easily make her rat. Though I'm not sure who the boss would be.
I'll keep my vote where it is for now. Also, someone should make a voting list this round.

Meh, I am getting more information by seeing which players have asked me about it... and which aren't concerned at all.

The interplay between Rog/Who just seems odd. I don't really buy a few of the comments that have come up. I have some more thoughts pending how things shake out next round.
I suggest anyone who isn't cleared already (if such exist) join the Hooves majority

We have a winner!
NAD was elected as president. Again, warning not to reveal any use of executive power until next round.

I do believe that I'm one of the few players who can be said to be cleared and I still don't see why Who would be a better choice than any other player. Also, whatever you're reading into my interaction with Who is pure fantasy. I'm not sure if I trust her enough to say she's neither boss nor rat, but why do you assume she isn't the rat? I don't see the boss calling attention to herself by not revealing her use of power.
We've failed to make voting lists and get majorities throughout the game so I'm pretty sure we're cooked. :/ But we can at least try one last stand or two and actually try for a majority.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?
"Today Speaker of the House, Dr. Roger Log, decried the poor leadership of the past 3 administrations. 'Never have I seen such incompetency in the highest office. We have had 3 straight Administrations that show no respect to the citizens of Braingle. They have spit on our democracy, and have participated in behaviour that can only be described as divisive and/or criminal!'
A former campaign advisor suggested that the Speaker, often referred to as 'Dr.Doom' by his critics, is likely priming the public for a run at the Presidency himself. 'I wouldn't be surprised if we see him in the running next round. His public opinion polling may be horrendous, but he has advocated for a more peaceful administration, which I think a lot of people are hungry for.'
Only the next round will tell."

If the boss fires two people, and the president (possibly) fires one, then assuming the rat is still alive, it will be 2-2, and then we lost.
Ooooooh! Nice!
Ooooooh! Nice!
