Thanks, talanpoe!
Great game, everyone! I guess whoever said that the memos sounded like Cab was right. Clue explanations can be found below.
Round 1: You were on the right track. The correct sequence is object, thing, night, day. Clears Days.
Round 2: This was actually a rebus of sorts. The line in bold is "the last supper". Leonardo Da Vinci painted a painting (for some reason, that sounds redundant) called "The Last Supper". Clears leonardo.
Round 3 part 1: The Brain Mulroney part of the clue was solved correctly. For the part in all caps, if you put it through columnar transposition twice with "brian" and "mulroney", in that order, as the two keywords, you would get "Thirty days hath September April June and November All the rest have". More on that later; I'll explain the columnar transposition first. I used the words "double" and "irregular" in my first post; they were supposed to tell you to use double columnar transposition, irregular case. Once you figure that out, using Brian Mulroney's name as the two keywords should make logical sense. Now for "Thirty days hath September". The next word is "thirty-one", or 31. Using the alphanumeric cipher which I love so much (almost as much as Vigenere), it translates to CA.
Round 3 part 2: The three pictures are onions, Johnny Depp (as Jack Sparrow), and "I Need a Hat". The first two combined makes "Onion Johnny" (see Wikipedia). Onion Johnny needs a hat! What hat shall he wear? According to Wikipedia, Onion Johnnies would typically wear a BERET.

What? Really?
And I did all that work on the clue. Ha! Now I know the secret, even though I know I can't solve them, at least try to solve one of Shady's clues.
Thanks for being a great Mod, Shady. Now, please explain your clues.

Ha! Now I had you pegged as the RAT . . . . now, I'll have to see if I actually forgot to lock my vote for talan or not.

The 1st picture in part 2 of the boss clue are sliced red onions; the picture is in about 34 places on the net, but I don't know what it means.
Red Onions, Capt. Jack Sparrow, and I need a hat.

I "thought" we could go see who voted for who in each round. I can't see if I actually voted or forgot to lock my vote in the round I got fired in.
