Who's The Boss
Game #2715: The Braggart's Bluff
This private game is moderated by LogicalRoger. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 7 rounds.
I should note that the first clearing is not currently valid as the person it referred to has left the game. The boss clue, obviously, is still on the table, however.
Since the clues have been difficult, I think I'll give you lot a break with a much easier clearing clue.
It seems we have a player connected to someone famous! Guess who the famous person is.
I'm sure you've heard of her before. She is related to this man:
She also married a man whose name is known for belonging to that of a famous American general.
There are many more famous connections to the woman herself, but the question is - can you find her?
Good luck to all!

Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

well, as I thought, HABS wasn't the Boss. I certainly wasn't expecting to be around this round. Knowing that I'm an employee, I think its best if I return to my original vote from last round and vote for softball. If softball isn't the Boss then math definitely is. That's the only way the firings could have worked out the way they did.
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

Oops, ignore that. Habs was fired... Wait... What? Was she a mandi? I'm so confused now...
EDIT- I'll put a vote for softball as well...
This may as well be the final round... 5 remain, 1 is fired. Then it's a coinflip on who the boss is.
And it's not me, Freakshow.
Lol, just put the photo through Google Photo recognition.
I got a picture of Toby "Tobuscus" Turner...

So obviously the Boss and Rat can be found among freak, MG, and softball. I'm done all the homework I feel like doing today, so I guess I'll give the Boss clue and this new clearing clue one more try. In the meantime, voting for freak.
I really don't think its you math.
Shady, just a thought: if I wad the boss or rat why would I have gone through all that trouble to form a majority on HABS?
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

HABS stated a vote for freak, Tan voted for HABS, so we can only safely say that freak is cleared, that is, if HABS locked her vote in for freak, and we have to assume she did.
For now, placing a vote for mathgeek. May change if need be.
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.

If you don't mind, snowy, I will be placing a safety for MG as of now. Of course it is subject to change, but I am going back to my original vote from last round.
EDIT: Vote is confirmed for MG.

Well, I guess I can see why there'd be a majority on me. xP
I won't complain this far in the game. It's a 2/2 vote for me and softball. Amirite?

Don't worry, I'll change my vote later. Just a safety vote.
I don't see why the rat would want to do that this far into the game.
Dang that firing really messed up the voting strategy. Assuming I'm cleared from HABS voting me, that means boss and rat are math and softball. Snow shady and I are all going to need to vote for the same person, otherwise we won't have the auto win situation.
Wait........ Maybe not. Shady, I'm going to change my vote to mathgeek. You can join if you like, but I think there may be a safeguard to the votes I'm overlooking if you were to vote either softball or snow. If I find it ill pass it along to you guys.
Edit: a couple simulposts later and I have another idea. Let's keep the voting where it is, only shady you should choose either math or softball to vote for. With the boss and rat vote split up, then we will know if we nab the right one or not. Actually, id prefer if you voted mathgeek, just in case somehow snow ends up being boss or rat. That way we have all possibilities covered.

The man in the picture is Ralph Waldo Emerson. Now looking through all his female relatives.
EDIT: If we can clear one of them from the clue, that would be preferable.

Hmm. This is harder than I thought. Changing my vote to Mathgeek, then. I'll be back before the round ends.
Well, quick thing. If me and soft were boss/rat, why would softball give away such a perfect set-up win? Obviously freak or soft miscliled the vote, and everything got screwy. Here's why.
If boss and Rat were in a 3-person majority, push all accusation on Tan by firing the others.
Why fire Tan? To take advantage of such a setup to frame people for a victory! I'm not the boss, vote somebody else, Shadows! Trust me! I wouldn't blow such a perfectly set-up game! A framed would. Namely snowmonster. I think SHE is the boss. Next round, when I get fired, vote Snowmonster.
My theory: Snowy=Boss and Soft=Rat.

Tan was fired because he was cleared. He was of no use to the boss. Freak, a rat tries to keep the votes away from the boss. It doesn't really matter where the votes go, as long as a majority is formed. You could have easily started the majority on HABS, so the boss would have more to choose from to fire.
Mathgeek is freaking out. . . . if he's not the boss, wouldn't he want to be cleared? None of the clues or posts relate to me. So, where's your logic Math?

Besides, tan voted snowy and was fired.
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

My guess is he's freaking out because he's the Rat and is trying to draw attention to himself, but I'm probably wrong. I usually am when it comes to this kind of stuff.
Definitely keeping my vote on Mathgeek, though.
By the way, snowy can't possibly be the Boss unless someone lied about their vote. The only way HABS and Tan could've been fired is if there had been a MoO (or if people lied about their votes). There were three declared votes for HABS; in order for it to have been a MoO, there must've been only one actual vote for her. Where did the two "fake" votes come from? The Boss and Rat. Logically, then, the Boss and Rat can be found among the three people who voted for HABS last round.

So, since I know it's not me, then you propose freak is the rat, me or soft are the boss?
Quick question- What cleared Shadows again? It's like midnight and I'm tired, so I forgot. Was it last round's votes too?

She was cleared in Round 2, because 2 people who voted for her were fired. But that doesn't mean she can't be the rat.

Ok, I'm changing my vote to softball. Read over the boss's tq answers and some just don't sound like him. Like for rounds 1 and 2. So, with that said, I'm changing to softball. I don't mind if others wish to join in this vote.

I will be keeping my vote on mathgeek for the time being because A) I'm not voting for myself because I would obviously be fired by the boss and B) I am still going with my original suspect from last round. If mathgeek is in fact the boss, I would be inclined to think that freakshow is the rat, though I'm not entirely sure about that....
Does anyone know what Rummy 500 is?

No, not at all. All I know is that it's a card game.

*Yawn*
5 hours of sleep on a school night packs a punch...

Ok, now I'm doubting myself again. May go back to a mathgeek vote.

There is a link to some instructions to Rummy 500. It sounds interesting, but sort of complicated.
EDIT: There will probably be several edits, as I am trying to post a link successfully.
FINAL EDIT: Uhm, my link-making skills are nonexistent, so if you'd like to research the game, copy and paste the address.

This can't be right. If the rat is still in the game, and mathgeek is the boss, then the rat is voting for him?

Aw, darn. I'm probably going to be fired. I suggest voting softball next round. That apology in the round three memo for stretching the screen sounds very much like her, and the Boss is more likely to bring up details (such as rummy 500) revealed in psych answers in the discussion. Freak is also a suspect, but I think softball's more likely.
I'm through with the Boss clue. After a lot of fiddling with a character count program, I don't think we're looking for specific letters in the book, either. Not sure what else you can do with those numbers.

The round is over so I can't say what needs to be said. Dang it. Softball is the boss let's vote her next.round.
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

Really? I think it could be a freak/soft team.
Freak is the boss, and trying to get his rat to take a bullet for him. I dunno. All I know is that I'm not the boss, and I'm voting freak next round.
If freak is fired, then softball is the boss. Of softball is Fred, freak is the boss, if neither, then I put in my two cents...
