Who's The Boss
Game #2550: Who's Duh Boss?
This game is moderated by wiser_now. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 8 rounds.
Welcome to round 1. I'm glad we have started. I think this will be a great game because this is a good group of players right here!
So, do you want a clue right away?
Clue: American Beauty
This clue is fairly straightforward, but you might need to combine this clue with other ones I give during the course of the game to completely solve it. Still, it's a place to start.

The answer really didn't say much to help point to anyone in particular. Although it does appear that our Boss lives with a family (i.e. spouse or children) by the use of "we". I also don't think a younger person would say something referring to taking luxeries for granted.
I looked up the phrase "no more a-roving, so late into the night. . ." and find that it is part of a poem by Lord Byron (George Gordon Byron). It is described as: "It evocatively describes the fatigue of age conquering the restlessness of youth."
For now, I'm going to toss out a random fish vote for Bobbi (Bradon) as it is too early to join a majority.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

i also agree that the Boss sounds older and more than likely lives with one other person. I will vote shortly.

Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

Based on the fact that I know nothing about poofi I'm going to fish/safety vote for him.

I fish voted for snowmonster.
It appears we are looking for an older, sort of literary person... but that isn't much to go on this early!

Just a note: I've posted this round's clue above.
Don't forget - vote early, vote often.

wiser_now, is the clue pointing to the boss, rat or employee?
Mod Answer: Boss - always boss clues in this game.
I'm going to put in a fish vote for dolphingurl12 for the time being. If the clue needs other clues to put it all together, is there much point on us working on it before we get the other parts?
Mod Answer: Of course, don't be so lazy.

There are a few players I don't know. This will make it hard to figure out. . . as the memo and answer doesn't sound like anyone I've played with before, Could be wrong though. Will place a vote in the morning.
Take all sorrow out of life and you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur. It is the furnace that melts hearts together in love.

I fished for bellaboo cause its the first name on the list lol

Hmm. Whenever the boss sounds like something blatantly, I tend to think otherwise. Thus I'm rather doubtful about the boss's age. The literary aspect reminded me of Sammi, unfortunately she's a got a vote already, so I'll have to hold off for now in case GA doesn't want to be in a majority so soon.
I'll just throw in a vote for J-boy for now. Was I cleared, by the way? I definitely wasn't here when it started, though I might have checked once in the morning, thus not allowing me to be cleared by way of technicality.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?
i like a weekend where we can get away, and enjoy the luxuries that we take for granted.
The latter "we" definitely sounds like a social critique to me. If the former is in reference to another person I'd say it sounds like a spouse or possibly children. Those imply the intimacy that one might need to associate another person with themselves instinctively when not prompted.I'll just throw in a vote for J-boy for now. Was I cleared, by the way?

Since we are all fish voting i will vote for Brandon, I know it is not poofi because from experiance I think he is young. I agree that the boss is mitchure and older though.
EDIT: I went down the whole list it could be anyone, everyone was on either today or yedturday. Dang I wish it would tell me when!

I'm voting for LogicalRoger for no reason besides I don't want to be a Lemming.
MY signature not yours.

Fish voting for Fleetwood. . . .
BTW - Bobby, (Bradon) has two votes. . . is this the only majority? If so, is poofi voting for Bradon as well? Would be nice to clear someone but many don't like being in a majority so early in the game. . . . just pointing this out in case any that are voting for Bobby wants to change their vote.

actually, with nad's vote for LR, he now has two votes, because I voted for him as well.
I would make a voting list but I have to get ready for work. I will probably change my vote next time I get on to avoid the majority unless nad changes before I do.

I voted early in order to avoid being in a majority and was actually the first to vote in the round. I voted for Bobbi (Bradon) as a random fish vote, but Fleetwood later said they were fish voting for Bobbi. Since I voted first and really do not want to change my vote, I'm hoping that Fleetwood will come back on and change his vote to stop a majority from forming on Bobbi this early in the game. I am not trying to get a majority going on Bobbi!
Fleetwood, please change your vote. Thanks!
I'll wait until close to the round ending and will change my vote if Fleetwood hasn't done so by then.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Roger has a good point about the "we" in the memo maybe referring to a societal we rather than a personal we. If we read it that way, then we have practically no information. Yay.

Thanks for the vote change Fleet, but with Poofi still voting for Bobbi, I'm forced to change my vote. I'm fish voting for freakshow07 because he has no vote.

You're correct fleetwood, but it would put yourself, froggy and Poofi in a majority, which in turn makes you 3 optional firings. This I believe, is what froggy is wanting to avoid.

Yes, snowy is right. I'm trying to avoid being in a majority at all so that I am not in danger of being fired for being in an incorrect majority.

So far I found American Beauty and chesapeake, but what does it mean? I have no idea. My vote stays with poofi.
