He did not! Oh well. Good game, it was an inevriable loss after softball threw away an instawin.
Yeah, everybody voting Tan, and if you killed a person not voting Tan, we would have another round burned voting Tan again. Then it would be you and ai, and they would all vote me for our win!
Too bad! Good job, guys!

Good game all. Was following the game once I got canned, I knew it wasn't MG but was torn between Freak and Softy. Great game Roger.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

Way to hang in there Snowy. I thought Freak was the boss, but again, I really don't understand this game even though I've played it quite a few times. Good job, Softi. Great Modding, LR, enjoyed the clues even though I never figured any of them out. Mathgeek, well done as Rat. You did everything you could.

Great game everyone! I was sure softball was the boss, but then changed to think it might be mathgeek, Then had to do some real thinking. Finally it was clear! Softball, you almost had this game - you were a great boss!
Thanks for modding LR - it was a fun game and you were a great mod!
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.

MG, I couldn't fire anyone that didn't vote Tan.
Thanks for the compliments, though I knew that I was going to lose last round. I was actually going to post, 'You caught me' in the hopes of you thinking I was the rat, but that was just too much of a proposed sign that I gave up, you know?
I'm an awful boss. Sorry, LR and MG.

How can you say you're an awful boss! You lasted to the very end of the game!

Good job you last lone survivors and all else who made the game a good one.
Clues, clues, clues ...
The first one did indeed clear Cab. She got the correct end (my fault for making that possible) but not the first part.
Black Stream + 600 - san
Gaz - LXXXIV
The name Douglas means 'black stream'. The number 600 was meant to be put into roman numerals DC and coupled with san (Japanese for 3). This would led to Douglas DC-3 a type of plane.
The picture is indeed Gaz from Invader Zim, and the numerals are indeed 84 making Gaz-84, a manufacturer. Putting these together would have, had it not already been solved, brought you to the Lisunov Li-2 jet codenamed Cab.
The last clearing clue cleared Snowy (because I hadn't noticed she had already been cleared; sorry). The picture is indeed Ralph Waldo Emerson who is a distant relative of the particular woman. She married a man named Robert E. Lee (same name of a famous American general). She is Janet Waldo and along with numerous other roles famously provided the voice of Judy Jetson - which of course is Snowy's avatar.
The boss clue's first part did indeed involve a Wizard of Oz book but instead of taking letters it took whole words from passages. The numerous number words (in various languages) had a floating c between them - breaking them into chapter and word. Putting them all together got "She flies with her own wings" - the state motto of Oregon. Oregon was the password for the first locked photo album.
The first photo album had a picture of a checkerboard with pieces in different places. In five places pieces where arranged to spell out letters in braille. A question asked to fill in the missing pieces - thus the next password was the letters not provided - about 21 of them not including AEIKO.
Once inside the next album you'd be greeted with a mixed up picture of an older Larry Bird. The picture's notes ask to find the missing number which refers to Bird's famous number he played under - 33.
Oregon became the 33rd state on February 14th, 1859. Softball also joined Braingle on February 14th.
I was hoping Shadows might eventually figure out that it was a Book and not a Beale cipher, but oh well. There may have been a problem with the number of chapters.
I hope you lot liked it. It was interesting to see who'd win towards the end there.
Why didn't the Libertarian cross the road?

Thanks, Bpbbi!
I felt this was my bet game as rat, even better than the game with Flame where I won as rat, but in order to win as rat, you need to have a boss that is average. In that game, average was younger people, so flame fit in. This game, Dunkin Donuts stuck out quite a bit. Nevertheless, it was a fun game. I wish I had won, but Snowy called heads, and the coin flip landed on her favour.
[rant=true]
My iffs with this game was that Softy made some nice fires nobody expected, but it opened up the target on her back. The memoes were good except for the Dunkin Donuts one, which threw her off the train. I felt that Tan should have stayed for a better frame, and Shadows mathave been (no offense) gullible enough to vote freak, and snow should have been fired. The clues were phenominal, and even with the boss clue, knowing who it trailed to, I was struggling to figure it out, and, in fact, never did. I am befuddled why that poem softball chose for me that one round was... that poem... Care to explain? As I do not have Internet access for the next 20 minutes, I will keep typing until I regain it and can post this huge rant. I ribs on being the next mod for a game called "Eeyolpme", a backwards game of WTB. Convince everybody you are the boss. The boss' goal is to get fired, the rat's goal is for the bossnot to win, and the employees all want to get fired. Of course, some groundrules will include having to fore the max amount of people every round, no using memo to your advantage, such as saying in a code "I am Snow" or something like that. I think it will add a new twist to WTB and could be the next big thing. Anybody joining? Geez, only 18 minutes until Internet? Oh well, keep ranting. Player Opinions. Shadows: Fantastic, a great player, all around. Freak: Too pushy, may have cost him the game to go by what he was worth. Snowball: Offended I though she was old. Snow did a great job, and she made the right choice in the end. Unfortunately it wasn't the choice I wanted her to make; our victory. Softball: A great person to be on my team with. Couldn't have asked for a cooler boss. Unfortunately, the Psych Questions were too revealing, and sent us thundering down... Tan: Well, you managed to get fired on the round a minority was formed on you. Should have stayed out of that, softball... Tan, you played a great game, and so did everybody else! Good job! Shameless advertising: Join cccgirl's werewolf game, we need it to fill up. I type fast, and time is moving really slow... Must... Post... I just reached 15 minutes until Internet, so... Onto Current News! In New Brunswick this evening, a man was found floating in his own pool of blood on the coast. Be was thought to have had his throat cut then was thrown in the water. Oh well... That's all I have. Hey, who playes the Binding of Isaac? It's a really fun game about this Christian family. Here's the story. Isaac was a simple boy who loved to play. He would play train tracks, his mother would watch Crhistian TV shows. One day, Isaac's mother heard the voice of God. "Your son is corrupt! You must rid of allthat is evil in his life!" said God. Isaac's mother replied "I shall do as I'm told, My Lord." To which she took away all his toys and left him in a white room alone. God called back to her. "Your son is still corrupt. You must completely isolate homfrom everything in the world." Again, she obeyed, stealing his clothes, his bed, and everything else he had, leaving him to sit on his little red rug. God called a final time; "To prove your devotion to me, I require a sacrifice. That sacrifice shall be your son, Isaac." She accepted this mission. Isaac was watching through a crack in his door. Panicking, he noticed a trap door under the rug. Without hesitation he flung it open just as his murderous mother enters his room with a knife. Battle over 100 different types of monsters in this Indie game made by the creators of Super Meat Boy, for only 5$ on Steam for a limited time! Buy now! *Yawn* 7 minutes... Was this rant unneeded? Yes. Am I still bored? Yes... Hm... Hey! Let's... Um... Meh. Screw it, I'm going to sleep. 6 minutes... 5 minutes... Well, when I post this, the length will be surprising to me. I typed this all on my iPod, so my thumbs hurt... 4 minutes... I'll read a comic book for a couple minutes... Who likes Foxtrot? I have 3 books full. 3 minutes... Approaching 2... Woah! Jason admitted his love to Eileen? What's happening to my lovely comic book? Oh, it was a lare misunderstanding. Whew. Jason Fox was nearly going to die. I reached the 2-minute mark, and burned a good half-hour. So, my rant ends here.

Are you kidding! There was no coin flipping. I used logic when I decided to finally stick with a softball vote. I HAD voted for her the round before last, but had changed it back to you. So I was already suspecting her. So, where's the coin flipping on that one.
And I have to disagree with the DD answer. It was a good one, and if it weren't, softball would have been pegged boss that round. She lasted as long as she could have - and that means she did a great job. You did a great job too. You lasted as long as you could have as well. No complaints there.
LR - your clearing clues were awesome. I'm no good at them so I never even tried, but with explaining each, I can tell you put some major effort in them.

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.

Roger, I tried chapters and words and got "she" and "her" first because they were both in chapter 12. But the next chapter I went to didn't have enough words in it. Maybe it was a different edition or something. Oh well, I don't think I would've solved the rest of it anyway.
Great job as the Boss, softball! And MG was a highly amusing Rat in that last round. You almost made it to the very end. A fun game, everyone, and thanks to Roger for modding.

Thank you snowy for finally listening to me. I knew softball was Boss because she was the last person from GAs scenarios that hadn't been checked out yet.
Softball, great Job lasting as long as you did. It's certainly not easy with a group like this.
Great job to an excellent Mod!!
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

I felt extremely over-powered when GA came in the first or second round and posted that long description of how I was either the boss or the rat. Even last round, when freak posted his explanation, I was like: What? I feel as though I don't understand the game as well as you guys because you're all so elite. Great job with analyzing everything. You guys are all great players.
Math, I will read your rant when I get home from school at about 3:30.

Backwards WTB - where the Boss tries to get fired - was thought of a long time ago. I remember playing in one of those games, actually; I lost by voting for the Boss in a majority. I forget what they were called. Maybe I'll look for them.
It's up, so join now!
