Who's The Boss
Game #535: Where in the World?
This private game is moderated by Gizzer. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 8 rounds.
Since the Boss has located Carmen Sandiego, anyone who has not yet done so cannot win. I will certainly understand if there are people who do not wish to continue working on the challenges under these circumstances. However, there may be people who are enjoying the hunt, and would like a chance to continue even if they can't win.
It is especially important that those who have located me remember to vote. We have already lost brainster, and now paul726, to not voting.
Here is the second challenge again:
CARE - WHISPER = 1/x
This equation rebus is read as:
Careless Whisper is a single by x.
Therefore, x is George Michael.

I'm still in... and me voting. It's just fun to make it to Gizzer's next challenge. A few have stumped me unitil I was able to beg a friendly nudge here and there. Thanks to my helpers!

I'll still give hints.

I keep seeing green. Green green everywhere, oh no! Maybe I'll have a cup of tea to soothe my nerves.

Ok, I've voted. Let's do this. Since it doesn't make a difference, can we know who the boss is, or does it matter?

I realize everyone (well, almost everyone) is curious about the identity of the Boss, but the focus is the challenges.
Sadly, its hard to play a game when you know that as soon as you solve the mystery, you're going to be fired! Looks like only the wolf group will be victorious. This is not a signal that I will jump off the airport roof, but an admission of feeling pretty much inadequate at solving these puzzles. I DID say it in game #4 that I was not good at these -
I would like to say one thing.. for a future game. I think the format is fantastic and quite a challenge (at least to some it appears, and I am on that list). I like the allowance of alliances...it put a different twist on the game.
I would like to state that if the boss finds Carmen before everyone else has found her, that 1 complete round be allowed for "catch up" for players who are within a few clues away from solving the final solution. I am not trying to sound like a sore loser, because its really been fun losing my mind over this (luckily it was found and tomorrow I can leave the airport), but trying to put a little different twist on the game. At the end of the day that the boss finds Carmen, those that are less than halfway to the solution are fired. And then at the end of the next full round...everyone who has not found Carmen is fired and the game continues like a traditional Who's the Boss game. In other words, we still have to figure out who the boss is. The only ones left are the Boss and the other players who found Carmen. In the case of a tie - such as Boss and 1 player, the boss still wins. It keeps players thinking a bit about the clues.
I grant you that I would suspect I would be fired the first day anyway, but it may help you Gizzer on this situation where you are trying to figure out how to fire 16 people at once!

I will certainly consider your suggestion, RGW4, although I would still be loathe to mass fire a large number of people.
I have been considering a few tweaks to the format, such as putting "stops" along the way, so that it isn't possible to reach the last challenge so quickly. Who knows, some people might actually get some work done in real life that way!
Of course, the random selection of the Boss will always be a key factor in whether the game will be long or slow.

Would I be out of line to ask, the picture, which I can basically recognize and seem to remember seeing...seems to be one you "use" to have in your travel photos? I am not asking for where it is (though your answer would narrow it down to about 7 places) but I am trying to figure out where I saw that picture.

I have, in real life, been to this location, but it was before Braingle, and before digital cameras. I have no pics of this place in my wiki.
There, I've ruled out 7 places.

No posting here, I see, but I had plenty of private messages to go through. You are such busy little bees!
Congratulations are in order for those that found me while I was sleeping.
I know there are a few more still looking. There's still time!
