Coded answers? Placing safety vote for Ammer.
Holy cow, and other bad words. Honestly boss? Honestly? I'm not good at codes, sadly, but I'll work on it...
Haha. Looks like the boss took your advice, Empy. I don't even know what kind of code that is. Maybe it could be a backwards Beale cipher or a backronym? Or it could just be a random jumble of words. But that's probably not allowed, I hope. I'll try and tackle it later. Some of them look like they could be looked up, like the scientific ones. I'll see.
I'm putting in a safety vote for Salam for now. I'll probably change it once more people start talking and I scope 'em out.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

I'm going to safety for TechA really quick. I've got a migraine, so I may or may not be on later.

Well, I have two suspicions already and I will share them with everybody:
1. Just by the sound of the post of EMB92, where she says she has a migraine and with my past experience of being the boss, she seems a bit suspicious to me. Just because it would be something I would say because it's great to show some contribution, but not put in a lot of posts (which may draw suspicions). HOWEVER, note that she could very well be having a migraine and my entire suspicion and reasoning could be thrown out of the window.
2. LogicalRoger's signature seems to have some religious aspect to it, and the memo sent from the boss goes as follows:
The boss mentioned God in his/her post, so this might be a link between LogicalRoger and his state of bossness. (I just made up that word... and I really like it... "state of bossness".)
Edit: I still haven't voted, though, as these are just suspicions. Note, however, that I am pretty good at reading people so I will make a move in the near future.

Braingle certainly isn't what it used to be, good things don't last forever I guess.

I only found a few things that might make sense, one of them being "ewe"/ you, as Gr8fun pointed out. Does baste mean so, though? Haha. I don't understand that, nor how you got tell from telegram. But hey, some progress is better than none, if it is progress. Some of my thoughts - Peeper: Spy?, Hedera: scientific name for ivy, Oculus: scientific name for eye, the dome of the Parthenon, atoll: an island of coral, yank: American?
Yeah, I don't like it when people claim to be too busy, but this is still the first round and there are still plenty of M.I.As. I'm going to wait to judge EMB.
Ammer, my current signature is a joke that actually has little to do with religion, let alone any god. It's a pun on the phrase same-sex marriage. That's a pretty loose connection anyways. I mean, by that logic you could argue that since your signature is about the past, the following might be a link to you:
Oh, and this is Boss so don't take people voting immediately for you or others as suspicious behaviour. If it's just a fish-vote then it's not permanent, it's just so that they don't forget to vote and get fired. Locking in your vote and/or being stubborn about changing one's vote are bad, but not temporary starter votes.

The first one is probably good. The second one I'd say partially. Maybe if you employed a thesaurasus?

Wow; what a headache. Gr8 has made much better progress than I have. I suspect Gambler is "bettor" = better. "Enchantress creates I..." I think is "Witch (which) makes me..."
For lack of other guidance, the reference to "crow" causes me to safety vote for Salam the Bird.

A meadow mouse is a vole, so that's no reference to the rat. I think I'll vote with fitzr for SalamtheBird

Wow. Some of that stuff actually makes sense now. I think I'll leave it to the masters. But I'll add anything if I think of it.
That said, besides figuring out the memo/psych question, we've gotta wait until next round for an actual clue.
Only about half of us even bothered to post yet. So we might have a bunch of mandatories.

id help but im getting something about a ram sheep so....
A fish vote for Gr8Fun; usually, if no one tries solving the Boss's memo code, the Boss would do it himself/herself.
My gut says that's not the case this time, though. Still, I'm voting for Gr8Fun.
EDIT: On second thought, I'm switching to SalamTheBird. Is our Boss taking the "quiet" approach?

EDIT 2: I predict that Ammer will now accuse me because I mentioned God in my siggy.

Yeah, cuz migraines are SO suspicious. Oh look, I have another one now. *cough* It's hereditary, thanks. My mother gets awful one's too...
Anyways, it looks like we have a lot of undeclared votes/inactives this round. Should help us eliminate some people, lol.

Take it easy, Shadows, those are the only reasons I could think of, like I stated earlier I am basing things off of posts as well. The last 2 or 3 WTB games (all of which were empy's) I have been in I was the boss (very lucky of me because it's fun) so I have a fresh feel of what I would post if I were the boss and right now it is seeming like LogicalRoger, possibly Gr8Fun, less likely EMB92, and not very likely SalamTheBird.
I agree with you, however, that the boss sometimes solves their own codes, but this time it is not the case. So Gr8Fun is starting to seem less likely than EMB92.
Additionally, you said that I would accuse you so I wouldn't accuse you because if I did, you would say that you predicted I would accuse you and I would look bad. However, let me tell you that if I really thought you were the boss, I would vote for you regardless of what you said. But I'm pretty sure you're not the boss, or the rat for that matter.
Like I said, I have a pretty good feel of being the boss.
As far as the rat is concerned, I never really care who the rat is, it may be one of the people I mentioned above as possibly being the boss.
Braingle certainly isn't what it used to be, good things don't last forever I guess.

Of course it's not SalamtheBird, he just got fired. You sound a lot like the boss to me, Ammer. Perhaps we should get a majority on Ammer next round, folks.

In fairness (I pause for gasps of disbelief that I would even use that word), given the length of Ammer's post, I doubt that Salam's firing had been announced when he started it. Not that Ammer might not be Boss anyway, you understand....Surprised to see Kajish on the list though; guess he got distracted and forgot to vote.
Let me get this straight, Ammer, you accused me of being boss simply because of a silly God and religious siggy connection, (which now, when backed up the wall further, you seem to agree that it was stupid) but wouldn't do that same thing for Shadows even though she actually has the same word "God" in her sig? And the reason you won't accuse her is mainly because of gut feelings and so you won't look bad? Yeah, I'm sure you don't have a grudge against me at all.
So many mandatories.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

Great catch Fitzr - How could Ammer have known that StB had been a mandi? His posting was lengthy and only 1 minute after the announcement. As of now, Ameer's post has not been edited, so it's not like he was able to go back in and change something.
Curiouser and curiouser...

I still think the Boss is Beyonce.
I don't typically look at posting times, so sorry about that.
Shadows, what's Beyonce's user name? We've got to vote for her.

I made it as large and colorful as possible so that nobody here misses it because the sooner you guys can clear me, the sooner we can find the boss.
And for the record, without clues, we pretty much just have to go on gut feelings; and trust me, not to sounds arrogant or anything, but my gut feelings are usually right, and every time LogicalRoger posts I am even more sure he is the boss. However, I am willing to wait a few rounds to verify that for sure, I really don't mind if a few people here get fired
Also, after you clear me and realize how wrong you were, I predict that you will try to make up for your mistake by saying I am the rat. You can do that if you want, but the fact is I want to clear myself so that we can find the boss.
Well, sorry for another long post, and sorry if it sounds a bit aggressive, I just get heated. Sorry again

Actually, barring anything surprising happening (like Mikey finding Beyonce's braingle username), I'd be fine with that. We have to start clearing somebody if we're going to get anywhere; and frankly your post does kind of sound like someone bluffing with a busted straight.I made it as large and colorful as possible so that nobody here misses it because the sooner you guys can clear me, the sooner we can find the boss.

Please state if you are going to vote for me or not, let's just clear somebody at least. Rest assured this is not a bluff, I really want to be cleared already.

I'm with EMB; I'll say it looks likely at this point, but I'm not going to actually declare until the round actually starts. Formality. Tuxedos. Penguins. Icebergs. {Sorry; went a bit "word-associative" there for a moment. I'm back now.}Shadows wrote:
