Who's The Boss
Game #3197: Downsize Danger
This private game is moderated by Jayo. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 6 rounds.
The would be Boss and his assistant wasted no time in subtly spreading misinformation around the office grapevine.
Brin was rumored to operate an illegal cat fighting ring, despite her being a well known animal lover. She vehemently denied the rumors naturally but the damage was done.
Creamy Suga was deemed responsible for the malicious replacement of regular coffee with decaf, frayed nerves throughout the office led to both of these being dismissed as candidates despite the lack of concrete evidence.
JayoCorp is only interested in promoting the most wholesome and dedicated employee, but can the others band together to expose the would be Boss for his malevolence before it is too late?

Ok, the Boss is a very creative person. It's not easy to write in Pirate, but s/he is doing a pretty durn good job of it. Not to disparage the creativity of anyone else (I don't know you all super-well yet), my suspects based on the pirate speak are dcf, musicneverdies, and whoviandeb. Harry is certainly capable, but I dunno... Doesn't "feel" like him.
On the Boss question, I've never thought of trying to get someone fired. It's harder that it may seem! I guess the way I would do it, if I were to try, would be just to keep feeding the Big Boss tidbits about how the target wasn't performing well. Then I'd also have to make sure I was the one picking up the slack and correcting the mistakes. I guess using the employee handbook to find infractions might work... Man, super-horrible!
Edit: Placed my vote on musicneverdies.
Edit-Edit: Oh! Haha, I totally misread the Boss question. It says how would you fire someone you don't like. I would do it on, like, a Tuesday afternoon. Right after lunch. That way they had to work a Monday, waste their lunch break on Tuesday, and now they still have a long way 'til Friday-Saturday when they can party with their working friends to blow off steam.

I am only creative in the English language...I have no idea how to decipher that nonsense
Wait, fint...weren't you just saying that you're not that cut throat?

I guess I have a dark streak that I just found out about. Still, I would never TRY to get someone fired. I don't think....
Wow! I've gotta compliment the boss here, very ingenuitive. In any case, still not much to go on. Voting for whoviandeb for now.
I don't know anyone really that would do this. The boss is really going with the game. Maybe... jojobaby?
Ooooooh! Nice!
Ooooooh! Nice!
Where I work, probationary periods are commonplace, and new employees can be let go at any moment, w/o reason or notice. I've seen someone be fired (not by me) at 6:30 pm on the last day of the prob. period- her computer was wiped before she could save anything and the police escorted her out. I guess that could be one way to go if you don't like someone. I'll keep Pops' scenario in mind though...
Voting KZ.
Sorry, nothing to see here folks, keep moving.

Yet again monopoly votes for me... would you please tell us why?
I haven't played with you before I think so I don't know if you would go really into the theme.
Ooooooh! Nice!
Ooooooh! Nice!
The question is - was the "our" an intentional throw off by the boss? Or was it the Brit in Hoo slipping up?

Hmmm... well I definitely wouldn't have done the pirate thing... and I'm not much for the whole "crush everyone to come out on top" style...

These are the questions we must ask...
1) Would fint be ballsy enough to compliment herself as boss? Personally, I doubt it.
2) Would HOO use pirate type and use the british spelling of "honour"? I would say yes.
I think we should look to form a majority on Hoo. Leave Dcf on the backburner.

Interesting... I didn't notice the spelling on honour...
Ah Harry, I think Fint would be ballsy enough, haha. Voting Fint.
And while I don't know anything about a pirate day, I do sometimes slip into the proper English spelling of things. Sadly, I've allowed so many American ways rub off on me during my many years here in the States such as saying 'elevator' instead of 'lift' or 'flashlight' instead of 'torch'. Frankly, it's just easier to adapt than constantly explain.

Oh yes, it could be Hoo. I'm not buying that "don't know anything about a pirate day" line.
It could be a set up, but I think we've got to start clearing players, so HOO gets my vote.
It's a disease, not a punch line

I would go as far to say that Hoo probably moonlights as a pirate. So I too do not buy that.

Well, I didn't know it was pirate day... :O
Voted Hoo. I don't really have a second guess. Maybe music or fint? I'll trust jojobaby. But i'm watching youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Ooooooh! Nice!

Man, Harry, you're all out for DrHoo today. If I didn't know what game I was playing, I'd think you Divined him a la WWG.
Oh, and I might think myself clever and creative if I could write in Pirate speak, but I lack the bravado to claim such things out loud. lol
I'm all for getting things done in a round, so I will join the DrHoo majority (even though I don't personally suspect him).
dcf525: kzmonopoly
DrHoo: Fintpops
Fintpops: DrHoo
HarryPutter: DrHoo
jojobaby29:
kzmonopoly: DrHoo
musicneverdies: whoviandeb
whoviandeb: DrHoo
(I didn't see that you stated your vote, jojobaby.)
This should be enough to get a decent clear, right?

WTB strategy involves systematically clearing individuals DrHoo is a high probability individual wouldn't you say?

Just to add to the mix, I like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but mainly for the action and Johnny Depp. Even with closed caption, I can hardly understand most of the dialogue, much less repeat it.
I can change my vote to Doc to try to help get a majority.
Sorry, nothing to see here folks, keep moving.

Okay, so arrrr and all that. I'm fine with a clear. Good luck to you land-lubbin' folk.
A clear would be helpful. Switching to Hoo.

Still don't know who jojobaby29 voted for, but hopefully she DID vote so she's not a mandatory.

As far as I can tell, he's no higher on the probability chart than anyone else. 1 out of 8? But you seem to have some sort of sense about this, and you're right about clearing people. The voting looks more promising for a definite fire/clear:
dcf525: DrHoo
DrHoo: Fintpops
Fintpops: DrHoo
HarryPutter: DrHoo

That's pretty goood solid clear folks
