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.
Hoo had been performing particularly well, and this has not gone unnoticed by the would be Boss and his assistant.
Sometimes, subtlety won't cut it. Things were coming to a head, with the decision to be made shortly.
There was a company wide conference coming up, and ideas were needed. Hoo confided in the would be Boss that there was an idea he was considering and asked for advice. Would Be was only to happy to help and suggested a couple of seemingly sound adjustments.
During the meeting, Hoo confidently and a little brashly floated his idea and the Board seemed somewhat interested. When asked if there was any input from the rest of the team, Rat face (briefed and drilled by Would Be Boss) pointed out the subtle flaws in the adjustments suggested and then the thread was pulled and the idea was picked apart by everyone, point by point.
Red faced but not aware of the sabotage, Hoo remained quiet and frantically tried to think about another way to impress the board. However, the Board didn't like the combination of over-confidence and failure, he would not be getting the big job.
This is the final chance for people to shine, who is going to get that big pay day??

Oh, poor DrHoo! Nothing worse than taking a chance in a meeting to just be shot down in front of everyone. These JayoCorp stories are a bit too true to life....
So here's who we've got left: dcf525, Fintpops, HarryPutter, and musicneverdies
Harry and MND are as cleared as they can be; they weren't fired in (what appeared to be) majority votes. So unless people didn't vote as stated, they can be ruled out.
That leaves me and dcf. Obviously I know I'm not the Boss, but I'm not sure how to convince you guys of that. The only thing I can think of is from Round 2 when Harry mentioned that he didn't think I'd be "ballsy" enough to complement myself on my pirate speak if I were the Boss. I wouldn't say "ballsy," but I'm not that boastful. Plus I'm a horrible liar, so I wouldn't call out something like that in-game should it somehow backfire on me. And also, I wouldn't semi-insult people by stating I didn't think they'd be creative enough to write like that if I, in fact, had been "that creative." [Which I really didn't mean to be insulting! Y'all are all awesome, it just didn't seem like the sort of thing some of you would try.]
It's a lame defense, I know. But I'm not the Boss. I'm not even the Rat (who is still in the game, right?). So that only leaves dcf525.
dcf525:
Fintpops: dcf525
HarryPutter: dcf525
musicneverdies:
Edit: to add Harry's vote. Are we gonna have to admit that he was right all along??

No, I don't think he is right. But I do think that dcf plays another role in this game. Fintpops, would you agree that you have been the most active this game? And all of us have accused you at one point or another. Everyone but dcf. I think that dcf is most likely the rat, protecting you as the Boss. My vote goes to Fintpops.
We are all JC employees until proven otherwise. No, I've never accused Pops, but there are a few others I never accused either...
This is the last round either way, and in Round 4 it was between HP and me; he was cleared, so its my turn, right?

I'm still learning about WTB, but I don't think there is a next round. Pretty sure the Rat is still in the game, so it's 2 vs 2. If Harry were the Rat, I don't think he'd be calling for a vote on dcf. So it's a combo of MND and dcf. Gotta be dcf = Boss and MND = Rat.

Have you all? I don't think Harry did. I know you've listed me as a suspect once or twice, but never enough to bring a formal vote or argument for. But now you've opened a gateway for dcf to hide as Rat - you can see that in her very clever post above. Calling for a clear on herself now; very Ratty. Or very Bossy, if MND is the Rat to dcf's Boss.

Fint, why would dcf call for a clear on herself if she is the boss? Then she would risk losing the game, right?
Also, you seem to be avoiding the whole question of whether or not you are the Boss. You've never explicitly stated it. And dcf looks like she isn't committing to any vote right now, which is something a Rat would do. I think you are being a little overdefensive, which to me looks like a Boss knowing that she is caught.
