[color=orange]CHALLENGE LISTING[/color]
[color=green]Keyword Challenge #1[/color]
If any player posts a valid post with the secret Keyword in it, he or she will win a free item! The word is a potentially everyday word. (So, it's not 'hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia'.) Word lists do not count. The word must be found in a sentence inside a valid post. This has a good history of promoting activity, so let's see some interesting stories! (Update: remember that the post does not have to be about the game. Also, any tense of the word will work as well [*-s, *-ing, *-ed, *-like, etc. will all do.)[/color] [color=purple]This Challenge lasts until the end of the game.[/color][/color]
[color=green]Riddle\Random[/color]The first person to successfully complete this challenge wins 10 points, the second person wins 5 points, and the third person wins 2 points. After that is one point. Send your answer to me in a private message with the header, "WTB Riddle".
[color=purple]This Challenge lasts until the end of Round 5.[/color]
We are three genies capable of independent existence.
But bring any two of us together
And we shall summon the missing third
To respond to your beck-and-call within his capabilities.
Man would welcome any opportunity to fit an unwelcome harness
on our first whilst it is in full gallop.
Thus the first will conspire with our second to tackle the quest
To subdue the third to be a slave at your behest.
Our second was so repulsive as to be banished forthwith
to the far-flung corners of the globe.
His feet planted firmly on terra firma,
On his pate, an insecure white cap.
The repulsion of the second is surpassed by how shocking is the third.
Whilst our first, lest we forget, has been cursed by the gods
To remain forever in a state of perpetual restlessness.
Who are these restless, repulsive, shocking, yet subservient genies?

I'm not the best at riddles, so I did a bit of searching and found the answer for the job search. I had the feeling that I'd seen something similar before on Braingle. (I hope you all don't hate me too much for sorta cheating.)
Edited and Truncated: +10, but please send the answers to me in a PM. ~Jarmihi
I just had a look at round 3, and a clue that I purchased for the boss never got solved:
End of newfangled result of head-over-heels labor.
I still have no idea what to make of that. I'm going to ask for another one. It'll be interesting to see what happens this round.

On the Boss Challenge, I made it the same kind of challenge that was for the round. I realize how weak this is, so in the future all Job Searches will require the Boss to make the challenge up itself.
emma5799979 correctly solved both challenges.
Clue: new electrical produce

Oh, I didnt realize I would gain a point from that. Yes, but you won't get a point from this one because it's considered a double post (my posts don't count at all for anything, even spacing yours out.) ~Jarmihi

The clues so far sound kind of like they're synonyms for the "real" words. Like #1, "Finish of modern product of topsy-turvy work." LOL Ok so that doesn't make any sense. xP But that's what it looks like to me. No other thoughts at the moment.

Unfortunately, these clues seem to be really well constructed. I look forward to finding out how they work. Are there any cryptic crossword minded people here? Do we know if the rat is still around?
Anyway. I'm going to be really brave and say who I'm voting for - buu441. Because they haven't posted this round, but have been online today, and haven't contributed to this awesome clue buying party or seem to have purchased any clues or been very active at all. This game. To me, Izzie is also suspicious. Though they solved a riddle a while ago an bought that identity seeing thing, that could have been a bit of a diversion as I haven't seen any public contribution out of that. There. We'll see what happens.

I am voting for Izzie, because I have found her suspicious for a while, and she is not contributing to buying clues. It just seems fishy.
If you leave it so you're always logged in, it says you've been on Braingle today no matter what.

That's interesting. I'd never heard that before. To be honest, I'm going to change my vote to Izzie. She's suspicious.
if everyone changes there vote to me
i think that the boss has won.
wasnt i cleared a few rounds back?
and about buying clues this round.
it is a holiday weekend here and we have a lot of company
so i have been able to get on since once earlier today
my vote then and still is for buu
as it has been the entire game

It's most probably Izzie.
She was never cleared.
She never shared the answer to her lens of truth.
She still didn't buy a clue from the mod.
I will be shocked if it is not her.
