[color=orange]CHALLENGE LISTING[/color]
[color=green]Keyword Challenge #1
Keyword Challenge #2[/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\Phenomenon[/color]Solve the riddle. There is only one correct answer, so if yours bounces, try again with something similar. First to solve wins the Clawshot, an item that allows you to steal an item from anyone else's inventory once per round. Also, you will unlock the second Keyword Challenge. Second place wins 5 points. Third place wins 2 points. After that is one point. Send your answers to me in a PM with "WTB" somewhere in the subject line.

That changhill was fired is kind of surprising. I guess this means that entity wasn't the boss, unless changhill was the rat. Safetying for miracle right now.
No... the boss was definitely afraid of Chang. We need to look back over the last round carefully.
That's true. He was the most active out of all of us.
I don't know if anyone is willing to do a voting list since we lost Chang - I wish I could but I have a very busy Monday planned.
I'm sticking with LUPIN since the clues point there and a newbie. Open for discussion

I think it's more of aiming at earning more FP...so the boss would target me as well
I will start up a voting list, although I wouldn't be as good.
Safe voting Jayo for now.

Thanks for doing the voting list. Has anyone else picked up on anything from previous rounds?
EDIT: I think I hit on everyone that is still in the game and Vivica is the only one who listed Books. I could be wrong on this - I will check it again when I can get to a real computer.

Fired chang, really?
That means entity is cleared since chang voted for. There are sleezes in this game. I hate players who vote and do not post. Losers in my opinoin. What is the point? Why play if you are not going to contribute to the team? Safty for now, will be back in morn.
Like what you love, and love what you got.

According to my calculations 21kal... Enjoys reading as well as Jayo. buu enjoys books as well as Vivica.
I have a question: since we got a majority on longhorn in round 1 and we had lots of mandatory firings --- did we really prove anything? Just wondering? If someone can explain the way this works for round 1 -- I would appreciate it.

Books were not directly mentioned "genre of fiction" was.
Also I found ENTITY liking comedy.
I'm NOT saying that we shouldn't trust longhorn - but I just want to put it out there that we HAVE NOT cleared longhorn either.
However, I do think that after the last round ENTITY has been cleared.

sorry i got online a bit late into the round. but thats just my time zone problem coz its early morning here right now. so i got on ASAP for me.
yeah. entity has been definitely cleared. for now, i will be voting for mira-cle. vote might change following the discussion later.

Due to chang's firing, yeah: ENTITY can be cleared; not by votes, though. We almost cleared Longhorn in the first round, but not quite: we needed 11 votes but only got 9. Teamwork is really essential in this game.
I'm liking MrsBlondie's vote on lupin, but I don't want to needlessly put her in jeopardy by joining it yet. I'm going to totally-random safety on jordy for right now; will check back in the AM. Thanks for buying another clue, buu! Hopefully we'll have enough to go by in the next few purchases.

Braingle01 and entity82 are still in the game even though they have never posted which means either they are the boss, rat, or suspious humans so I think since everyone is saying entity is cleared we need to maybe make a majority on braingle01.
I am voting for braingle01
I'm back
I am voting for braingle01
I'm back
According to my calculations from round 1 -- we did have 11 votes for Longhorn. 1 for 21kal and 1 vote for Braingle. However, Braingle and Entity did not state who they voted for. Then we had 5 mandatory firings. Question: for round 1, was there a limit of how many mandatory firings could be used or did these 2 just not state who they voted for.
Next question: does anyone else think that Chang might have been the rat and was not able to answer the rat challenge (if it was used)? Chang was the one that got everyone fired up to vote for longhorn in round 1 when there would always be mandatory firings. I'm not sure how the rules work for that ...
It would definitely be a great deterrent.

I did not see anyone's points get decreased, if someone did buy a rat trap, unless if I missed something.
And also, if either Entity or braingle was boss (or any other quiet ones who I did not notice), they would post because of the new rule, if they didn't post they would get "fired" and it's automatic win for us
So we can use that to our advantage P:
EDIT: my post got posted twice, so I deleted the second one, just saying o-o

Post from Mira-cle deleted on 2012-07-15 22:45:51.
I just went back through all the rounds and I never saw a post from either Braingle or Entity. Has anyone else seen anything? The rule was put into place last round - do you think it was effective immediately? Hmm
Probably starting from this round on, then. Looking forward to the hint from the magic potion.
If my calculations are correct then I would say Braingle would be an excellent candidate to vote for. (unlike Obama and Romney!)
I'll check back later. Going to get a little sleep now.

Boy, do I have a lot of questions to answer.
@Mira-cle: you have it backwards. The algorithm is (for this round) 7 minus the total number of posts you've made through the whole game, but the limit is 0 (no negatives). You're worth no FP to the Boss, however, sometimes it's better to get rid of an active threat than get a lot of points. It all depends on the Boss' strategy, of which there are numerous good (and numerous bad).
@MrsBlondie: there is no "limit" to mandatory firings. The game will fire all 18 employees if they're all inactive. However, every mandatory subtracts one from the number of optional firings the Boss can make. If there are mandatories of a number equal to or greater than the number of possible optional firings, then the Boss gets no optional firings. It is, however, not released to the players what the number of possible firings is for each round. Only the Boss and I know that information.
lupineserpentis got the challenge right, thus winning the Clawshot.
The current Post Leader is Mira-cle with 22 posts.
The current Point Leader is Mira-cle with 25 points.
The Overall Point Leader is Mira-cle with 31 points (25 to adjusted all-time record.)
Clue #3: "novelty"

Novelty could mean the newest player. This would mean entity, with mira-cle and I coming after (we joined on the same day, if I read correctly). Changhill definitely could have been the rat, and was fired, making entity the boss, or it could be mira-cle or I. I'm sticking with my vote for mira-cle, anyways.
earth=gaia, going by mythology or synonyms. anything can be related this way?
and novelty: it says latin word for 'new'. so the hint might also be referring to latin somehow or the other. these are just a few other appraoches we can take to solve the given hints if possible.

I'm still sticking with LUPIN I will have to think more about the whole Entity thing when I'm fully awake!
yeah. there is a chance that lupin might be the boss. its about time miracle updated the voting list if she has been online. i hate seeing myself shown as
'Did not post'.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
'Did not post'.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
It's just: EARTH - ATMOSPHERIC - NOVELTY. To me, I can tie these three clues ONLY to LUPIN. If someone can make all three clues point to someone else, PLEASE explain
can you explain the connection of all 3 to lupin once? i still cant make anything much out of these clues....
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
question for the mod: this lower wages thing will afect us only for this round, or for all the remaining rounds?
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
Under LUPIN's "interests" on his profile page, he has listed ASTRONOMY. Plus if you look at the date when he became a member - JULY 4, 2012. According to my calculations, all three clues fit. I am open to other interpretations here.
Let's discuss it

Sorry Mod, just thought I could help buu to understand this rule

okay. thanks for clearing that confusion. as it is, i post way lesser than you guys. so if this rule sticks till the end, i might not be able to buy anything at all anymore.
and earth and atmospheric was connected with the astronomy part. i find this a little shaky. but otherwise, the novelty clue sure agrees with the others.
i will wait this round. next round, i guess i will vote for lupin.
and if chang got hit with the pinkslip, then entity is nowhere near cleared. infact, that would almost ensure that he is the boss.

This is true. We are in a pickle. I think we need to focus our votes on two players and divide and conquer. That would be my calculation
EDIT: can anyone find a connection to point to ENTITY for these other clues?
Again, I have a busy day today so I won't be able to do much leg work. Sorry

I will buy a clue as soon as I can to shed more light on things, would guess that Entity was probably the Rat due to inactivity and yet still being here.
The Boss also seems to have made a mistake in saying that they fired as many as possible yet only 2 were gone, I'm 100% sure that at this stage of a 20 player game that up to 3 can go right? Obv not when there are tons of Mandies, but that's usually dusted by round 1.
I don't think Chang was the Rat as if we were lemmings last round then he wouldn't have been on the firing list unless he was the Rat and didn't hack the network, which I doubt
Hate feeling this unsure in a game so I will just safety for Buu right now

looks like i invite a lot of safety votes on me each round.
if you look up entity on wiki, you get stuff like particle(novelty-mass produced small toy), without a material body (atmospheric), ghosts and spirits, and stuff like that. might kinda work that way, i guess....

I am a blonde... Please explain how earth ties in?
Just so we keep all options open, let's remember there is more than 1 definition for "novelty":
1. state or quality of being novel, new, or unique
2. a novel occurrence, experience, or proceeding
3. an article of trade whose value is chiefly decorative, comic, or the like and whose appeal is often transitory
I for one thought of Definition 3 when I first saw the word. (Mixed with atmospheric and earth, my mind jumped to UFO Catchers. ) I think you guys are on the right track with earth and atmospheric, but "novelty" to mean "new player" feels a little ... stretchy. Maybe that's just me.
I do still like the votes for lupin, and MrsBlondie is right that we should focus our votes so that we make some actual progress. I'm willing to join the lupin vote if we are going to try to declare a majority.
Edit to fix a typo.

Under definition number three who do you think the clue points to?
Would novelty point to a newbie? That this is a novel experience for them to be Boss?
Would match up with the first memo in my reckoning
I'll vote Blondie this round though, mainly to avoid majority
I never make mitsakes

Hmmm, I am still thinking Entity has some connection with the whole thing somehow. Mod says they will fire anyone who does not post. Entity has not posted once but is still around. Do not think Chang is the rat. I am somewhat suspicious that blonde might be the rat as she very against us voting for Entity. Lupin, might fit the clues but I think it is a longshot as I do not see "earth" having anything to do with astronomy.
Will do some more research and be back later
EDIT: Lupine may be one of several things:
Something that is like, or relating to, a wolf (canis lupus).
A variant spelling for lupin, a flowering plant.
Lu Pine Records, a record label in Detroit.
Lupine Games, a computer game company.
Serpentis is the legacy of Set, his gift to his children. The Followers of Set carefully guard this Discipline's secrets, teaching the reptilian art only to those they deem worthy (almost never outsiders).

Once again it seems that I have a lot of questions to answer...hold on one sec while I tally the points.
First, the new rule is in effect as of this round. It would be unfair to list a rule after a round ended and then say someone didn't follow it in that round.
Second, Lower Wages lasts only for one round.
EDIT: Third, the Boss and Rat are NOT exempt from the "No Posts = FIRED" rule.
The current Post Leader is MrsBlondie with 28 posts.
The current Point Leader is Mira-cle with 25 points.
The Overall Point Leader is Mira-cle with 31 points. (25 to adjusted all-time record.)

I agree with LH that Entity is suspicious
Both ENTITY and BRAINGLE have not posted
THE mod came up with the rule last round so it's my understanding that that rule is in place starting this round
so with that being said they must have some connection I guess they could have gotten on to vote but not posted.
Someone with more experience than me ... If we focus our votes on 2 of the primary suspects - probably one of the groups is going to get the ax - so we would have our other strong group still available to catch the boss. Does this sound reasonable since at this point according to the clues we have 2 or 3 highly suspicious players?
I can assure you that I am NOT the RAT or the BOSS - since we lost Chang - I guess I felt like someone needed to step up. You guys can do want you feel is necessary but I would like to focus on ENTITY, LUPIN and hopefully Braingle will speak up. What does everyone think about the thought that LH could possibly be the boss with the whole "clear me in the first round" plan. Which does NOT prove anything

If Entity is the Boss, how do we explain Chang's being fired? I can only come up with two explanations: 1) he lied about his vote - which I doubt, or 2) he was the Rat. Right? What am I missing?
If Boss & Rat are exempt from the "no posts firing" then I agree Braingle01 & ENTITY must be our Boss/Rat team. Either that or the rule only goes into effect this round? (To be honest, I don't recall seeing when jarmihi first posted that new rule.)
To be fair, LH didn't come up with the first round clearing voting. Chang suggested her because she's a strong player. If she really did get 11 actual votes (I counted 9 by the voting list, but MrsBlondie found 11), then she's cleared. It would've been kinda risky, but I guess LH could be the Boss and chang (if Rat) came up with an extremely clever way to buy her some time.
We're running out of time and should pick a target. Lupin is the closest fit to the clues right now but braingle01 is unaccountably still here. I'll vote for either, but I think the Lupin vote would tell us the most: if some of us are fired, and briangle01 & ENTITY are fired because of a lack of any posts, we'll have a clear and two people gone with 1 vote. If some of us are fired and braingle01 & ENTITY aren't fired, then they must be Boss/Rat.
Edit b/c I stopped paying attention to myself and ended up making no sense.

in my post i never connected earth to entity. that was for mrsblondie's question.
otherwise, this game is getting really really confusing now. i guess overactivity an lead to such confusion everyone's posting such long posts with different opinions, its really hard to gather where everyone is going to. i guess i will still stick to my vote on miracle.
my last post for this round. see ya guys tomorrow. g'night.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!

Hmm. Interesting take on the clues when you go back to the game Elios pointed out then we are way off on our clue solving.
Like what you love, and love what you got.
Like what you love, and love what you got.
ELIOS: If you look back to the FIRST post from the MOD, you will find in RED I believe, "New Rule".... That is when it was implemented, however, we do not know WHEN this rule will take effect since I obviously did not take effect for Round 2 ~ I assume it will be for Round 3
LH posted (round 3) that Entity is cleared since Chang voted for Entity. buu also posted (round 3) stating that Entity is cleared. buu also posted that IF Chang got the "pink slip" used on him, I'm assuming that no matter whether Entity was the Boss or not, Chang is FIRED.... I am personally not familiar with the "pink slip" option so I am not sure how it works.
According to the Voting List posted, yes there are only 9 votes for LH. But there were 2 more votes added after the list was posted. Check it out. You will see.
buu441: Sorry the post are so long but now is when things get hairy. As I said before, I'm a blond and I do tend to ramble. But, I'm trying to expain my thought process so everyone can see where I am coming from.
I must say that I do find it suspisious that no one is standing up for themselves when the votes are pointing to them. Oh well... we shall see. This has been an exciting game.

If I did anything wrong on the voting list please say so
And, I do not think we should waste our votes on inactives if they are not going to post this round, thus getting fired.
Since mod said even the boss will get "fired", so if the boss did not post at all in the past rounds then they got themselves in a corner
I am leaning towards Lupin because of the third clue, but again we should wait for more clues to be bought
Now contemplating if I should just buy a bunch of clues instead of saving up for the Lens of Trugh

I was unclear. I meant, I didn't recall seeing it in Round 2 but did see it here in Round 3. By "implemented" I meant "when do people start getting canned." If he's being generous, last round was a warning and this round is when it take effect. It'd be nice if he could clear that up (as well as if it applies to all players) before the end of the round so we'd know if we should just vote for Braingle.In an effort to carry out the Divide & Conquer plan, I will change my vote to braingle01.

Okay, my head is spinning... I will be going with Entity right now, mostly because what people have been saying about the clues makes sense to me and I'm personally too tired to go through the profiles again after a long day of work
Also my hand is still a pain and typing is very uncomfortable so I probably won't be too active....

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.

Changing my vote to Lupin, since my suspicions are arising lol
Also, I will wait for others to buy at least 2 more Magic Potions, since they increase with price, and I would want to spend my points on the pricier ones

Agreed. Because I believe lupin to be the next best guess as Boss, I'm now changing my vote again: locked in for lupineserpentis.
"An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered." - Chesterton
If I understand everyone, I think we are getting a majority on Lupin.... I don't think it is worth voting for Braingle or Entity this round since neither has posted yet. Granted there is less than 2 hours left, which I guess they could post however, I would still find that suspicious...
I was browsing the internet and found this definition: Just want to throw it out there in case something happens to those of us voting for LUPIN..
EDIT:
Molecular entityFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search According to the IUPAC Gold Book[1] a molecular entity is "any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, radical ion, complex, conformer, etc., identifiable as a separately distinguishable entity".Molecular entity is used as a general term for any singular entity, irrespective of its nature, in order to concisely express any type of chemical particle that can exemplify some process: for example, atoms, molecules, ions, etc. can all undergo a chemical reaction.
Chemical species is the macroscopic equivalent of molecular entity and refers to sets or ensembles of molecular entities.
Again from IUPAC: "The degree of precision necessary to describe a molecular entity depends on the context. For example 'hydrogen molecule' is an adequate definition of a certain molecular entity for some purposes, whereas for others it is necessary to distinguish the electronic state and/or vibrational state and/or nuclear spin, etc. of the hydrogen molecule."
I truly DO NOT MEAN to overflow anyone's head with this information .... just a different twist on things.
Some of us are going to get the ax this round and I want this BOSS.... like LH said, " There are sleezes in this game.

MrsBlondie, I don't see how that would relate to either of the clues, if anything then if it's not Lupin, I would look at others who we did not pay much attention to yet.
Also, neither do I, so I just left it blank

Unless you're saving for the Lens of Truth (though that's a tricky item IMO), might I suggest buying a Magic Potion or two? The clues get easier as we buy them, so maybe we'll get to a point where things make some sense.Edit to add: Oops, I quoted the wrong line. xP I meant to quote, "Do you think I should hold onto my points or buy something?"

@jordy56: the only price that goes up is the Magic Potion. If you've noticed, every time someone buys one the price goes up by one point. Maybe I should have mentioned that? sorry.
@Longhorn_fan: If the rat is fired, then you will be notified upon purchase and your points refunded in full. Also the Lens of Truth works once per round. So using it now would give you a last-minute See that can't be gotten in the next rounds.

Question for MOD: the "pink slip" item.... want to understand it... Not sure if anyone else understands this part... please respond if you do. Senerio: Chang voted for Entity... Entity is the BOSS... Entity used the pink slip on Chang....Therefore, Chang was fired even though he voted for the Boss. CAN THIS PLAY OUT LIKE THIS OR NOT. In a normal situation, if you vote for the Boss, your name does not appear on the firing list.
Oh gods, rule interpretation. This has never come up before. The question is, "Can the Boss use a Pink Slip on someone before he would fire the person normally?" The rule is, "The Boss may use any item from the Boss Bazaar by purchasing it with the required number of Firing Points. The item is used immediately, or at the closest possible instant to immediately."
The Pink Slip rule says, "The Boss may fire any player he or she chooses, unless firing that player would cause the Boss to win the game, in which case, the Boss may not use the Pink Slip and shall be immediately refunded his or her Firing Points."
I'm going to decide: yes, the Boss can do that. Pink Slips are expensive. If the players are so inactive that the Boss can get one, more power to him or her. The thing here is, I would always announce it.

I am changing my vote to lupin also.
Also with the novelty clue all of you have focused on is that it means new but there are a lot of other things it could be.
The easiest way I can show the information is by posting the link to the list of definitions

Um Blondie, I don't think you can buy 3 Magic potions, since that would add up to 9 + 10 + 11 = 30 points, which is why I said I would wait until other bought the cheaper ones, since at a point it will go up to 15 points or something.
MrsBlondie, you only have enough points to purchase two.

I agree with LH that Entity is suspicious
Both ENTITY and BRAINGLE have not posted
THE mod came up with the rule last round so it's my understanding that that rule is in place starting this round
so with that being said they must have some connection I guess they could have gotten on to vote but not posted.
Someone with more experience than me ... If we focus our votes on 2 of the primary suspects - probably one of the groups is going to get the ax - so we would have our other strong group still available to catch the boss. Does this sound reasonable since at this point according to the clues we have 2 or 3 highly suspicious players?
I can assure you that I am NOT the RAT or the BOSS - since we lost Chang - I guess I felt like someone needed to step up. You guys can do want you feel is necessary but I would like to focus on ENTITY, LUPIN and hopefully Braingle will speak up. What does everyone think about the thought that LH could possibly be the boss with the whole "clear me in the first round" plan. Which does NOT prove anything

Whoever gets a majority of the votes is called the Candidate. In the case of a tie, there may be multiple Candidates. Because of Executive Privilege, the Boss is always able to slip out of a tie, leaving the other Candidate with a majority of the votes. If the Candidate is not The Boss, then everyone who voted for the Candidate is called a Lemming.
The Boss wants people who think for themselves. Therefore, all lemmings will be placed on the firing list.

So I would say that if we had 2 majorities anyone in those majorities could get fired unless 1 majority was on the boss

I just thought of a great idea as to a poss boss, however can not mention at this time due to rules. Will mention in next round.
Blonde.....I would think that I was cleared inr round one, if not you are welcome to vote for me again, but I would not aadvise wasting another round on me.
Like what you love, and love what you got.

mrsblondie I don't know if you realized this or not but you posted the same thing twice and my last post should have answered the question you had about majority votings.

Thanks for the explanation 21kaldridge21 - I do understand the whole lemmings thing. With the extra "items" that the "store game" has to offer does put a twist on things. Which the MOD explained. Plus the fact that this is a 20 player game which also changes the count a bit. We as players are not prithvie to all the amounts of potential firings etc.
I have played in WTB games where the BOSS was suppose to have been cleared in the first round yet totally fooled everyone else involved because of the mandatory firings and the percentage of votes received. It can happen.
When this game is over, I hope to get a couple questions answered as far as how / why things played out the way they did.
It's a great game - different but that's what makes it interesting

Very interesting read of the Mod's previous game.
According ti the first post the boss has 10 ftp points so he can't buy anything to affect the firngs so the lemings info is real all that we can go by i believe.

wow. a triple post by blondie. looks like you had a lot to say nothing much to do now but wait till the boss sends out the next memo.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!
I'm not use to the whole FTP points as I said earlier. But I counted 11 - could that have something to do with the whole Rat/Boss votes?
Warning: triple posts count as spam. (Unless they follow the three-hour rule.)
