Who's The Boss
Game #1006: Clue 2
This game is moderated by NDRoxmisox. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 6 rounds.
Well, it seems obvious that the boss wants us to think that he\she is still in school. Which would point to a younger person. Unless that was just a slip on the boss's part, but I doubt it. I believe it is to throw us off. Especially with statements like the one about liking pictures etc. Also I wonder about the boss mentioning a player by name. Never seen that done before. I wonder why?

Death is an old man in a suit glaring at you. Says my friend's dream.

rainbow, the boss has to be 100% truthful in their answer so I do believe that we are looking for an older teenager. 14-18 maybe.

Yes, it has to be true so I suppose they still go to school. But I don't understand how you got that the boss was 14-18?
I hope we get a clue soon, but did anyone get anything new on the last clue?
Edit: Like others have said before, if you put in the clue into a Rail fence Cipher with 6 rails you get: INSANEBREAKERANJWT, of course I don't know what it means. But I'm guessing that anjwt could be another coded message? Or maybe we're looking for an insane breaker of sorts. Well, I'll come back to vote later.

I get the older teen from the fact that the books that the boss likes are usually dark. Most likely a book like Stephen King would write. I couldn't see an 11 per se, reading that kind of book. Of course now that I think about it, perhaps it could be an adult who went back to school.

Actually, the rules state that you can "obfuscate." Which means a person can write to sound more like a younger person even if they are older. So maybe they can't lie about being in a class, but they can be an adult tricking us into thinking they are younger. I've seen people do this a lot and have done it myself with great success.
Edit: As for the latest clue, I'm having zero luck translating it. The first line does not seem to be morse code (no dashes and I only get gibberish when I try) or tap code (no slashes for separation and the translator gives nothing when I try). So I don't know what it is. And the last line looks like a Playfair cipher, but I have no idea what the keyword is. Anyone else?

Ha, the Professor has cracked the case! Well actually Rainbow, just doing what you said gave me the answers. The first one was a tap code (you just have to seperate between every two groups of dots with a double space) which gives you "pointed". And using this as a keyword for the playfair cipher (replacing Is with Js) gives you "this boss has a puzzling hat". Which I don't really know what it means. But I think it could mean our trivia hats, and seeing as only about four of us have them (me including) I'm going to vote for Rainbow. No offense, it just seems odd you give us the tools needed to solve the case but don't solve it yourself, and you have a high level trivia hat. Hopefully I'm not wrong, but it's the best can get out of that clue. Although there is still plenty of time, I'll just have to see how things go.

Since the boss is still in school then some people are cleared.
CLEARED
j279
LogicalRoger
MAvanzi
rainbowywjh
(I'm not sure but maybe some more people ain't in school but i don't know that)
I'm voting Sass.
gotta put your heart on the line, if you wanna make it right, you've got to reach out and try, gotta put your heart on the line, if you wanna get it right, gotta put it all on the line.

I'm glad my thoughts were helpful LogicalRoger. The reason I wasn't able to solve it myself is that I've not dealt much with the tap code before. I didn't think to add in my own spaces. But it's cool if you want to vote for me. Like I said before, a majority voting for me would only clear me, so I don't mind. Then everyone would know that I can be trusted.
I'm not sure what to make of the hat thing. It could refer to the trivia hats. However, NDR did say that all clues would pertain to the list, to the time, place, or thing, or to another clue. The trivia hats really have nothing to do with the list, so I don't know.
MAvanzi, as for your list of people who aren't in school, you need to take LogicalRoger off that list. In his wiki, it states that he is going to attend college. So he may have classes after all and is not cleared.
Edit: Actually, I think I'll vote for him, unless we manage to find out something that clears him.

Hmmm... I don't know who to vote for. I don't know what the puzzling hat clue means. MAvanzi, aren't you still in school? You're person icon is for someone under 18.
I'm 17 so i left school last year.

MAvanzi, perhaps someone of an older age wanted to go back to school, so technically you can't rule anyone out. Also, just because someone has the adult icon, they could be eighteen and be going to college. MAvanzi, you are trying to get people to vote for me, perhaps so their will be plenty of lemmings, my vote is for you. But, by all means, vote for me, I will only be cleared.

Im 16 and still in school for another year
Sorry. I forgot to tell you all thatsince this list is not compleat yet, these clues are not based on that list. Next round it will be.

I don't know. I guess the puzzling hat thing doesn't have anything to do with the list. I still don't know what it means. For now I voted for MAvanzi.
Don't know why i'm getting voted for when hmm... nevermind
