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.
Thank you, and well played GreenApples!!
Explanation of Clues
Round One: American Beauty and Chesapeake are both varieties of apples
Round Two: The key to this clue wasn't Donald Duck, but the phrase on the pin: "Come and Get It". That is a song title - a song by Badfinger, written by Paul McCartney and of course, released on Apple records.
Round Three: The only person who got this clue was the boss himself!
The first post of the round was in GREEN.
Round Four: In this round, I changed my signature line from "I'm standing here until you make me move" to "I'm standing here until you make me cube"... if you had caught that, you might have connected "cube" to the number 27 - which is 3 x 3 x 3
Also, "Ethereal Hiking" is an anagram of Katherine Heigl, a movie actress (note psych question that round about movies). She was in movie called "27 Dresses"
Round Five: A poem about Peregrin Took, aka Pippin. Pippin is a type of apple - a green apple, quite often.
Well done rat and boss. And well done snowy, who wasn't fooled. Please rate my game!!

Yay! I win. Well, we win, nad!
Anyway, just to clear some things up... I did intend on framing snowmonster, by putting in the "..."s. I put them in just in case I needed to frame someone later in the game. When there were 7 people left, I knew I needed three majorities on three different people to get me the win, so I brought snowmonster into play.
bradon, you were my biggest threat, especially when you voted me in consecutive rounds. I thought it was all over. But when I got to seven people, I knew what I had to do to win.
I needed to get a majority on you first (which I suspiciously backed out in in the last minute, so that I could fire kvthegreat and froggygg without looking suspicious), so that I could fire you the next round, which I ended up doing by helping push the majority on snowmonster. Then after you were fired, I knew the only person I needed to convince nad was the boss was seekrgrl, which was jeopardised when nad came out with that last post of his! I was very worried, but it worked out in the end...
snowmonster, I had to sacrifice the trust of yours in the end for the win. I hope you don't think I'm an aggressive player, it was just part of the act of being boss.
Thanks very much for the game, wiser_now! You were a great moderator, and it's a shame not more people worked on those clues!
Yes, I got the GREEN clue right away. I didn't get any of the other ones, yet I didn't try figure any of them out, except for the last one, since I was desperately trying to connect it to nad.

I knew you were the boss. Why wouldn't anyone listen to me? At least I voted for you, and stuck to my guns.
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.

Now I remember why I always vote for you GA, lol. I literally had to go back over each of your posts to make sure you weren't being totally dishonest in your comments in the game, and I have to say you obfuscate magnificently. Just be forewarned, I will never take what you say at face value again.Having said that, I do congratulate you on a game well played, but you do need to thank your Rat because without his style of playing, the outcome may have been different.
Wiser, you do Mod a fun game. Thank you. The clues were unique and interesting. I did notice several of the things you mentioned (like the green post) and the change to cube in your siggy, but didn't connect them as being clues. Silly me. I'll play in any game you Mod, anytime. It was great entertainment.
Way to hang in there, Snowy!

AHHH GA. You get me every time. I knew nad was either Boss or Rat after Round one. Shouldve changed my vote. Oh well good job.
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

Aw, well don't always think like that... I just had to lie, because I was boss this game... but plenty a times I will be an employee, needing you to believe me!
freakshow07, I actually was glad you were in a majority early, because you were one of the players I was worried about figuring me out.

Great game Wiser! As bobby had said, I'll play another game you mod in the future. It was fun.
