Wow. . . I would have had a hard time answering that psyche question. Sorry to see 2 active players gone, but knew it was going to happen. Blah!
For NOW, I'll be voting for freakshow.

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.

The memo sounds mature, or somebody that would be done with life and would be ready to die. (Not to be confused with WANTING to die).
So, I assume that it would be somebody of a respectable age, so I'll put a vote on Snowmonster.

Hey there! How old do you think I am! OMG . . . . How could I POSSIBLY be done with life, when I have a kid to still finish raising. . . . OMG. . . this is so . . . . . . I don't know what to think. You ding dong kid. When you're my age, I hope you remember what you posted, and think. . . . OMG, Snowmonster wasn't old and done with life after all!

lol Snowmonster. I am not sure he meant it in an insulting wayk just that compared to him you are old. I have no idea how old any of you are but I know I a lot older than a lot of the ppl on the site too. But I am NOT old. It is all perspective, I was looking at some old class photos from elementary school and thinking "wow I am not the same age as my teacher was back then" (and we thought they were all ANCIENT).
Not sure myself what I think of the memo quite yet, will most likely sleep on it and come back in the morning with a clear head and fresh ideas.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

Yea I know, but my son is probably younger than mathgeek, so I will have to assume all parents are OLD. . . . OMG, it just threw me a bit. I KNOW I'm older than many here, but geesh. LOL Personally, I don't think our boss is one of the older players. Just my thinking. I have YEARS to pick from - and I don't think going to Dunkin Donuts in the middle of the night would register as one of the most thrilling moments of my life. I'd probably say, becoming a mother. lol So the DD answer alone, makes me think of a younger person.

How old ARE you? You just seemd so wise and full of wisdom and so nice, I asumed you were old.
I though you were like, 50.

LOL - you crack me up Mister Blister. I aint saying how old I am, but I will tell you this, if you think 50 is old, you're in for a shock, and once you turn 20, the years go by FAST. I do have a 12 year old son though . . . so figure out how old I am by that!
Back to the game - I seriously think the boss is on the younger side.

Don't worry Snowy, Math's comment's caused so much outrage that with all the LOLs and OMGs you've added it'd be easy to mistake you for a texting teen.
Also, 50 doesn't seem that old to me, personally. I mean, it's supposed to middle-aged, right? So hopefully after that there's at least 50 more good years to come.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

Thanks LR, but something tells me you're assuming I'm 50 too! LOL I'm not really irritated with MG, I thought my parents were old too. . . when I was a KID. NOW . . . my parents are old, unfortunately.

Yeah, mine either. Don't think that would even make the top 100.

That doesn't help much Snow, that could make you anywhere from 24 - 60+ depending on how old you were when he was born. But based on that I'd put you anywhere from the mid 30s to early 40s.

I'd have to agree. Have we cleared Geek? Aside from my theory on DD?

Ooooh... Dunkin Donuts is heavenly. I've only went there once when I was heading to Florida via car, but the donut I had was the best I ever had! Tim Hortons should get the recipe.
Oh, Needless to say, my mother would hang me if I was out late at night, and I've never been tpnsingapore, nor Quebec's DD...
So... Does that clear me? xD
By the way, Habs Layton, I am not a Brit nor a gentleman persuer, I wish to become a fine man, but not one reduced to tea and the importance of wani.
Snowy, I am sorry if any of the above comments insulted you about age, but as my father is 42, my mother 40, I do not find th ancient.
My friend's dad is 67, so that hit home...
So, in full honesty, I am willing to bet you are about 45?
As I am 14, my mother is 40, amd, like I said above, with age comes wisdom, I assume you would be a tad older...
ONE last thing. Mrs Layton, I noticed you put me asking of her age in a quote, but dis not include my little quote to rationalize the question afterwards.
Let Deb and Pp be an exception to the rule.

Sorry for double post.
By the way, Snowy. Is that son your youngest, oldest, only, that could help. If you also have a 24-year-old daughter as well as a 12-year-old son, or if the 12-year-old was the eldest, that could much help the question.
Back to the game. Instand by that I think the boss is an older man/lady/Layton.

I'm not gonna say! Besides, out of respect to the mod and everyone else in the game, my age, really shouldn't be the topic of discussion. If you need this info to determine where I'd fit with the Boss's answers, I will say this - I'm far from 67, not far from your parents age, so yea, your mum and I could have a decent discussion on raising boys.
Keeping my vote on freak - he's witty enough to come up with the answer the Boss did, this round.
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.

Wow round 4 has turned into a game of guess how old snowy is I'm choosing not to take part
As far as snows vote for me, I know far too little about poetry to have answered this question. Furthermore, I've only been to Dunkin donuts once in my life and that was in NYC at about 8 in the morning. I did, however, used to work ay krispy kreme.
I think we should focus our efforts on determining whether or not softball is clear or not as she is the only one from GAs scenarios that we've not checked out or has been fired. I would advise Shady and tan to steer clear of majorities so we don't lose our cleared players.
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

Voting for Tan, because I don't think any of you should.
I'm going to continue working on the Boss clue... tomorrow. Sleeeeeeeeeep.

Tan I voted softball. Perhaps i should've been a little more clear about that.

So we have a 3-way tie.
So now what? We couldn't solve the clue, and both the boss abd rat are still around.
Am I right, LR? Is the rat still here?

Sorry for taking so long to chime in. I was grocery shopping, it is amazing how much a 15 and 17 year old boy can eat!
As far as the clues go, as I have stated previously, I have nothing to add. . Going back to the memo and the visit to DD (or anywhere for that matter) being of note to the boss this makes me think that as Snow and I have pointed out, it is not anyone of our age as this would not register as anything exciting, unique or overly memorable at our age. As Mathgeek pointed out, it is unlikely at his young age he'd be out at that time in the morning (unless he was with an adult (which would take away from the fun of it)).
That leaves the 20somethings to the role of boss. The Uni/College students, old enough to out at that time of night/day but still young enough that is is a significant memory. With that in mind, I think I will follow Snow's lead and vote for freakshow07
PS - Tan my name is HABS (with an S). What does HAB mean? It isn't even a word - but HABS makes a whole world of sense (well if you are a sports fan it does anyway).

I wouldn't rule Mathgeek you just yet. He could have very well been to a DD in the middle of the night. I know it's unlikely, but still if it had happened, it could have been a big deal.
Another thing that has come to mind. I've been thinking all along that the boss is male, but I have to rethink this.
With this, I'm not so sure I want to be in a majority yet. As you know, if we're wrong, we're on the chopping block, unless another majority forms. So, I think I'll pull out of the freakshow vote and vote for Shadows - I think.
We only have 1 cleared player, which is TanCW, right? If I'm wrong, please correct me.
I'm thinking about softball as well. She's been extra quiet this round.

sHE'S BEEN ONLINE. pERHAPS SHE'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS GAME TODAY?
Oh, god. Caps Lock. Not changing it due to laziness...
I can see why Freakshow sounds like a perfect candidate for the boss, but a quick thing. We're suspecting the males, but if there's a tomboy female, she could very well be the boss.
I see softball as a tomboy-ish girl, and shadows is in the middle, I guess? Snowy is too old to be classified in either one (After age 25, you just bump up to "Adult" stage), and so is HabS

One other thing that struck me about Freakshow is that he stated right away he dodn't know much about poetry. The boss quoted a song (which is in its own way a form or poetry) not an actual poem which may be the doing of someone who is (by his own admission) unfamiliar with conventional poetry. Were I asked about a poem to describe me, I would have quoted Keating, Frost, Yeats, Byron or Thomas not a song.
And no, Tan, though HABS is in fact short for something, it is not habit, it is short for "Les Habitants" which is the nickname of the Montréal Canadiens hockey team. No one ever really refers to them by their proper name the Canadiens, they are more often called "THE HABS" the 29 and 33 are the numbers that were worn by my two favorite players.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

Tomboy-ish girl!? That's ridiculous! [/end sarcasm]
I did actually forget about the game because I accidentally clicked on the notification for the start of this round when I wanted to do something else. I forgot about it because there was no longer a notification for it. Anyhoo, I'm here now.
After looking up the lyrics to "Mad World", I found it is an interesting song:
"All around me are familiar faces
worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very, mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very, mad world, mad world
Enlarge your world, mad world"
It sounds like something a teenager might pick to describe themselves, though it would make more sense for an older (not old, older) player to have picked it because it's an older song from what I read.
On the off chance that it may describe a teenager, I will place a vote for Mathgeek as of now. It seems as though he might listen to this type of music, though of course I could be completely off. I really can't get a clear 'stereotype' from the memos because they're all so different.
The poem that describes the rat is:
Fast rode the knight
With spurs, hot and reeking,
Ever waving an eager sword,
"To save my lady!"
Fast rode the knIght,
And leaped from saddle to war.
Men of steel flickered and gleamed
Like riot of silver lights,
And the gold of the knight's good banner
Still waved on a castle wall.
. . . . .
A horse,
Blowing, staggering, bloody thing,
Forgotten at foot of castle wall.
A horse
Dead at foot of castle wall.
I don't really know what to think of that. It's seems as though it's a random poem.
EDIT: Vote is confirmed.

It sounds like something a teenager might pick to describe themselves, though it would make more sense for an older (not old, older) player to have picked it because it's an older song from what I read.
On the off chance that it may describe a teenager, I will place a vote for Mathgeek as of now. It seems as though he might listen to this type of music, though of course I could be completely off. I really can't get a clear 'stereotype' from the memos because they're all so different.
The poem that describes the rat is:
Fast rode the knight
With spurs, hot and reeking,
Ever waving an eager sword,
"To save my lady!"
Fast rode the knIght,
And leaped from saddle to war.
Men of steel flickered and gleamed
Like riot of silver lights,
And the gold of the knight's good banner
Still waved on a castle wall.
. . . . .
A horse,
Blowing, staggering, bloody thing,
Forgotten at foot of castle wall.
A horse
Dead at foot of castle wall.
I don't really know what to think of that. It's seems as though it's a random poem.
EDIT: Vote is confirmed.

One other thing that struck me about Freakshow is that he stated right away he dodn't know much about poetry. The boss quoted a song (which is in its own way a form or poetry) not an actual poem which may be the doing of someone who is (by his own admission) unfamiliar with conventional poetry. Were I asked about a poem to describe me, I would have quoted Keating, Frost, Yeats, Byron or Thomas not a song.
And no, Tan, though HABS is in fact short for something, it is not habit, it is short for "Les Habitants" which is the nickname of the Montréal Canadiens hockey team. No one ever really refers to them by their proper name the Canadiens, they are more often called "THE HABS" the 29 and 33 are the numbers that were worn by my two favorite players.

We shouldn't have a MoO, or else Tan and I will be fired and a round will be wasted.
My gosh there is absolutely NO teamwork going on here. How do we expect to clear people if we can't get any majorities going?
Though I think we need to go with softball, I'm changing my vote to HABS. Math please stay in the majority with me its the only way to get things accomplished. If anyone else would like to join me in my vote you're encouraged to do so.
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

Well, if you're not going to vote for the boss, we may as well clear someone. Go ahead and vote for me, I welcome the chance to be cleared.

For the sake of majority, I will join the vote for HABS. If there is a next round, I think I may keep my mathgeek vote.

I trust we have a rat-proof minority.
Me, softball, and freakshow are the only ones that can be fired. Unless of course, HABS is the boss. In that case, me, freakshow and softball would be safe, the others would be fire fluid.

IDK you guys, if you're going to form a majority, why HABS? If it's to clear her, fine, but we'll lose a couple or even one good player. If the boss and rat have stated a vote for her, we'll only lose one, and we'll still have a MoO, but if not, we'll lose 2? I see her at the bottom of the suspect list - and Shadows, you're voting for someone that is cleared? What are your thoughts on this?

Maybe Shadow is the rat? Only reason I can see for voting for a cleared player or if he is the boss, but I don't think he is.

Actually, Majorities of One can be quite helpful. Remember, the Boss can't fire somebody who
votes for him, so...

Yes, but if there had been a majority of one, Tan and I would be fired, and you'd lose two cleared players and be back where you started.
I voted for a cleared player in order to stay out of any majorities.

Snow, I believe I can explain. I started a majority for HABS because there were only MoOs. Habs was the only person I could form a majority on based on tans voting list without pulling in any cleared players. Personally, I wanted to stick with my vote for softball but I don't think any majorities would've formed had I not stepped up.
As far as shadys vote is concerned, I believe she voted for tan because she is also clear and knew that there would not be a majority on a cleared player.
We should lose 2 players round, leaving 5 people left, 3 of which will be cleared if those fired are from the HABS majority. The next 2 rounds the Boss can only fire 1 per round. All that has to be done to win is form a majority on one of the unclears one round and the other the next if necessary.
I've come to realize they WTB is kind of easy to win if the employees follow the simple pattern of making majorities and cleared players staying out of them. Makes it extremely difficult for the Boss to win (though personally I don't think I've ever lost as Boss).
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

Well, all we know is that if me, softball, or freak are fired, HABS is cleared. If anybody else is fired, HABS is the boss.

I know one thing: If HABS is fired, she's not the boss.
Orly?
Well, I suppose Freak and Softball could be boss/rat, but which one is which?

Yeah I didn't think there were that many people cleared either. I only voted out of the majority because I KNOW I am not the boss, and don't want to get fired by being in a majority I know won't led anywhere. Other than to clear me. But didn't we clear Shadows in the first round?
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

Tan is clear, shadows is clear. Both due to firings (rounds 3 and 2 respectively). I actually wanted to form a majority on softball but nobody else would join me, so I looked at the voting list tan had made. Obviously I wasn't going to vote for myself, and if I had.voted for you that would've pulled tan into a majority. Nobody else had voted math, so HABS was my only option. Does that make more sense?
I'm not saying she is the Boss, I'm just saying that, given the voting st the time, she was the safest person to form a majority on.

How is shadows cleared. I must have missed that one. And I still don't understand forming majorities on people you don't really suspect.

In round two, Days and GA voted for me in a majority and were fired.
At the time, with only a few hours left, freak's primary objective was to start a majority, because a MoO would have been disastrous. No, he didn't suspect HABS, but a majority on HABS would accomplish far more than a MoO. And, as he has explained, a majority on anyone else wasn't going to happen at the time.
Majority on HABS: We clear HABS. Out of freak, MG, and softball, two players will be fired. Next round, three out of the remaining five players will be cleared. At that point, it's auto-win for the employees.
Majority of one: Tan and I are cleared. At best, we clear snowy because Tan voted for her (only one vote, so it's not a very convincing clear anyway - could be Rat suicide). That's only one possible clear out of five players next round.
