[color=green]Here are the rules for this game:[/color]
1. All normal rules apply except when an item is purchased and used.
2. Each round will have a Challenge. See the Challenge Listing below the Bazaar for more information.
3. Every constructive single post = 1 point. Double posts are worth zero unless three hours have passed since your last post. Spam/useless posts will not be tolerated, and will result in a warning and forfeiture of all points the first time and a ModKill the second time.
4. In purchasing an item, you [color=red]MUST[/color] use the purchasing form found in the Bazaar section of this post.
5. You do not have to use an item once you have bought it. When you do use it, make it obvious to the dumb moderator.
6. The Boss has a private bazaar full of items. See that list here. He earns Firing Points (FP) by firing inactive players. FP can only be used at the Boss Bazaar. Similarly, the Boss can't use normal points at the Boss Bazaar. Here's the page explaining how the Boss earns FP.
7. The moderator colors are [color=green]green[/color], [color=purple]purple[/color], and [color=red]red[/color]. Please do not use them. Green is for comments, purple for official text, and red for important things like urgent announcements and warnings.
8. The use of the word "he" in reference to the Boss does not imply gender and is used simply to have a pronoun.
[color=purple]9. Discussion of log-on times is forbidden.[/color]

Let's start off with an easy one. The first person to get it right wins 10 points, the second person gets 5 points, and the third person gets 2 points. After that is one point. Send your answers to me in a private message with the header "WTB #2828 Riddle".
If anyone gets it, the first Keyword Challenge will be unlocked!
The following four words are jumbled. Unscramble them and then explain how each word is related to each other.

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]

I will give some time for people to post... I will expect all the firings for the first round to be mandatories, so it would be nice to clear a somewhat active player to be leader

We all change when you think about it. We are different people all throughout our lives. And that's okay, that's good. So long as you keep moving and remember who you used to be.

I would at least recommend a safety vote to prevent firing in case you forget to get back on, later we can organize a majority vote
*rawr*
*rawr*
Yeah I would expect the mandies to leave us clear to form a somewhat helpful majority on someone so at least we have a voice we can trust early on, with that in mind I'm throwing my vote on Longhorn, if they are okay with being cleared or if anyone has a better clear idea?
Gonna work on unscrambling that clue now...

I will put a safety vote in for firefox since I am bad about remembering to vote

I think a Longhorn would be a great vote, if no one opposes, then that's where my vote goes.

I do not understand why Longhorn out of everyone else would be a "great" vote though...
They were last active today, so they will be more likely active than, say someone who didn't log in for +3 days?

It really doesn't matter who, but I know longhorn to be a pretty active person. She's good to put in input, so she would also be a good leader... you have any other suggestions? Just remember we would preferably clear someone that we deem a good leader.
*rawr*

Oh, sorry I thought you meant as a majority vote...oops
If it's like that, then I wouldn't mind
If it's like that, then I wouldn't mind
I am a little confused... if we are to clear someone, we will have to form a majority vote against them.

Ok, For now going to make a random safty vote
Like what you love, and love what you got.
Like what you love, and love what you got.
I'm very much liking this plan, chang. Mind if I run through it as maybe an explanation for new players (as well as to make sure I have this straight):
Because this is the first round of an open game, we will likely have a large number of mandatory firings (if you are not active, you don't vote; if you don't vote, you are automatically fired). The Boss has no say over this, and all of his/her optional firing spots are taken up by the mandatory firings. This means that s/he cannot fire any Lemmings (a lemming being someone who joined a majority for someone other than the Boss). This is great news for us because it means we can get a majority vote on someone (and clear them as being Boss) without fear of being fired for it.
Where I'm a bit confused is how will they be our "leader"? Obviously the other Employees would be able to trust the leader-person, but what else would that job entail?
I would second the vote for LongHorn (unless she doesn't want to be our leader). I'll go ahead and place a vote for her now, so I don't forget.

Ahhh sorry, this is the first time I come by the "leader" term so I am also confused about that @_@

You and me both! I think it's a great plan, though, and one I've yet to come across in a WTB game.

Excuse me, but why is everyone suddenly jumping on the bandwaggon with changhill?
I am still open to other ideas, just threw mine out there. Basic plan is to clear one player (at this point longhorn) with a majority vote (which is 11 votes) so next round we will know they're not the boss and can act sorta like a leader next round.
Just a quick plan, because time is sometimes short.
***EDIT TO ADD***
Your name: changhill
Item: Golden Quill
Quantity: 1
Target, if applicable: The Boss (lol)
Use Immediately? : Yes
Psych Question: If you could meet anyone in the world, who would it be and why?

I agree we need to clear someone active the first round since there will probably be mandatory firings. I'm in for Longhorn too
I also agree with everyone about voting for longhorn so changing my vote.
I'm back
I'm back
I think it's just funny how changhill who hasn't posted even once in round one is suddenly leading everyone else on about who to vote on.
I'm positive he's either boss or rat.

Oh, and also that I'll be dead after this round.
Edit: But the cool thing is, that would be too obvious!

Maybe not. Probably just a really active person. But if your case is correct, then longhorn's probably rat. (Rat's can't get fired, right?) Anyways, it is a possibility to look into.

The only way that I can see you being fired is that if you intentionally don't vote...
Also the rat can be fired by the rat challenge or if the rat doesn't vote.

The only ones who can be fired are lemmings and those who didn't vote...
So if anything Vivica you're less likely to be fired this round, right?
I will wait for round 2 to end to start suspecting people, hopefully I don't get fired till then xD

^forgiven. It's just so that people don't make whole posts in that. I'll accept this. I have special colors to denote tone of voice and who is speaking: I the person or I the moderator.
Oh, one rule that hasn't come up in a very long time that now seems pertinent: you are not allowed to talk about log-in times inside the game forum. You may use them yourself without limitation, but you can't talk about them. This rule never really went away, it just hasn't been important to tell people for a long time.

The current Post Leader is Mira-cle with 8 posts.
The current Points Leader is Mira-cle with 12 points.
The Overall Points Leader is Mira-cle with 18 points. (38 remaining to adjusted all-time record.)
Clue #1: "earth"

Test? College or?
And I'm just being unproductive, summer vacation will surely pass by quickly
Although I will be going out for a birthday party, but I'm not an outdoors person. I'm not fond of going to the beach either lol
Oh and btw Vivica said she was voting for braingle01 0:
EDIT: Wow..I seriously wouldn't expect that I would be this active
And the first clue is "earth" huh...
No clue on how to solve this now, but will wait later on until there's less players to look at

I've had my own problem with activity in the past, so I have surprised myself a bit. But once I get going, you can't stop me
My test is like an entrance test, it's not towards a specific school, but trying to get into a program... so yea, just a wee bit nervous.

I admire any person that can write a grammatically correct sentence. Lol. I am ashamed of my writing skills, but as long as I get my point across, I guess I will survive. Thank you. Didn't really prepare, but that's what cramming is for... j/k, kinda. I prepared a little, but it's centered around math, so I should be fine
***EDIT TO ADD***
I took an aptitude test, and my counselor looked at it and asked me if I had a fear of writing xD... my expression revealed my answer, lol.

I used to be good with math, until I took calculus xD
So now, I do not have any strong subjects D:
And wow, fear of writing? I would say fear of writing essays/reports, since writing includes all types of written pieces xD

Really? This is a fairly common occurrence in most games.
I can see why it should be, but no.. The WTB circles I run in always just do MoO votes first round. I'm hoping my weekend will be uneventful. Just some shopping, then working on costumes.

I was great at calculus and still almost failed, long story lol. Math, Science were always strong, history and english were always bad. And maybe not necessarily a fear of writing, maybe more of a fear of public writing. I will write for my own personal use, but if anyone else is going to see it, I am afraid they will be laughing on the inside. On the other hand, I don't have a fear of public speaking, have debate to thank for that
Yea, I've had to re-edit my past post to remove color, even worst is that my main color is a type of green. So I am thinking about my secondary color to use, but I will hopefully make it.

I think now all that I'm slightly good at is social sciences? xD
But I was also always bad at history
Alright, now I will head to bed!
Night guys!

I am a college student but didn't have to do entrance exams.
My best subject is math and my worst subject is science but when I took my ACT tests I did the best on science and bad at math.
My last ACT test I got a 28 on science and a 20 on math.

The only way that I can see you being fired is that if you intentionally don't vote...
Also the rat can be fired by the rat challenge or if the rat doesn't vote. [/color]

I was a great midnight snack for the wolves in my game. Now I can devote time to reading posts here. There are a lot.
Changhill: you will have to tell me what you are studying - my son has a strong math background as well as science But he doesn't know what he wants to be when he "grows up". -- he has his associates degree in pre-engineering.

My mistake on the whole rat vote/hacking system wording. It's been a while and it's my first game in like a year. It's not really an entrance exam, but a precursor to some state funding I am trying to get. Long story short, I decided to work before I went to school (bad decision), so I got caught up in my job. A couple of months ago I was laid off, so I am trying to get some money through the state to help with training towards a career. So I doubt I will be any help for your son (sorry ) and I might be asking for his help ;). Anyways, I have the TABE test to take, should do well, I have gone over some practice problems.
Growing up I wanted to be a herpetologist, to study snakes. I was one of those odd 5 year old kids that new every dinosaur. Not sure how practical that dream was, lol, but now my choices are towards accounting or pharm tech. Not sure which one to pursue, but I still have time to choose.

Sorry I'm late but my vote is also for the majority on longhorn, might be good idea to keep them from being in a majpority the next round?

My friend just became a Pharmacy Technician. She (like me) was an Arts major, and there's not a lot you can do with those degrees. She tried teaching but that didn't go so well, and she kind of got burnt out. Not sure what brought her around to Pharm Tech, but wow! Was there a lot to study. As it always turns out, though, so far she has't really used much of what she studied for; she's having a harder time with the register. My strength in school became English/grammar & writing.

@Elios, Haha, the easiest things usually turn out to be the hardest for me. It's discouraging sometimes. I think I am leaning towards pharmacy tech, I love learning so I think it may have a little more to offer. About to start testing. ttyl.

I am a middle school student residing in the USA. My favorite subject is Math. Ever since I was yiunger, I always wanted to be a marine biologists, it´s just always drawn my attention. I joined Braingle when I was searching though the internet for brain teasers. I haven´t played WTB in a while, first game in 7 months.
We all change when you think about it. We are different people all throughout our lives. And that's okay, that's good. So long as you keep moving and remember who you used to be.

Double for different thought.
I wanted to be a palentologist (dinosaur dork as well) then when I got to be about 10 I wanted to be a marine biologist to study sharks...then I found out how little you get paid and how long you go to school.
I have a pet snake, a ball python, he is 13 years old. Had him since he was 9 inches long. He is now 5 feet long.
I am a medical assistant in orthopeadics and sports medicine but I am going back to school in the fall for my pre-meds

I see I'm going to have to play this game on my computer and not on the smart phone. I'm not getting the challenge question portion of this game
My son wanted to be an Actuary (not sure if I spelled that correctly). Good paying job. But he could not understand the professors.

I am majoring in Business management and marketing. I wanted to be a math teacher when I was younger but no one that that would be good for me. Then in high school I had to do research for what I wanted to do and I thought that I wanted to do accounting but that didn't seem very interesting so I decided I wanted to be a budget anaylsis. Then a year later my mom kept telling me I make really good coffee and that I should open a coffee shop and that has stuck with me.
In high school and college I took accounting classes and did really well in them so good in fact that I was told by my college accounting teacher told me I should major in that. IO even competed in FBLA and DECA in accounting and in FBLA I got 1st in regions and 7th in state.
I took a marketing class my senior year and enjoyed it and that is why I am majoring in that but when I was in the class we had a project where we had to create plans for a business and my group knew that I wanted to open a coffee shop so that is what we did so I already have a menu, the name of the coffee shop, a year calender for events, ads, and a little business plan.
