Guys, the boss is Elios. voting for Elios.
Here's why the boss is Elios:
jervis was cleared in round 1 voting
buu441 was cleared in round 2 voting
freakshow07 was cleared I forget how.
I was cleared due to last round's voting.
So, out of five people, four of them are cleared. The only one who isn't is Elios.

Ok. You forget how freakshow was cleared? How about reviewing the rounds. PS: not cleared!!
It is between Elios and freakshow07.
I am very confident that extremeblueness is the rat. And as he knows we know, I will not be taking into consideration ANYTHING he has to say this round or at the end of last round. He has protected Elios all along by never mentioning her. However, what concerns me is that when extreme did point to freakshow, he then made votes to kaldridge instead.
I would like to hear from buu, Elios and freakshow a bit about their thoughts please. This is likely to be final round if the rat is still in the game. Which I am certain he IS!
For now locking in the Elios vote so I'm not mandatory. I will change if we conclude otherwise.
Please note: I don't respond to communication outside of the game. To me it is blatant cheating. Please don't do it again.

Also voting for Elios.
To be honest I'm not totally convinced that buu is cleared. I mean, what if the Boss was telling the truth and all 3 fires really were mandatories?
Idk just a thought.
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

If I'm right and no one changes their votes, then the boss will be fired this round and anyone who voted for him will win. If I'm wrong, hopefully we'll get another round to vote on the boss.
I also have my suspicions as to who the rat was, but they don't really matter at this point, as the person who I suspect was already fired.

What's this? Outside communication? If it happens a second time, please let me know. I've always wanted to try out the auto-fire feature. ;)
This is very fun to watch. I love Round 5.
There should be at least one other round still, right? It ain't over 'til there's one employee left.

oh well. that didn't work out as i had expected. i was pretty convinced by last round that extremeblueness was the boss. and i really don't know how you cleared freakshow07 either. which makes it look like you are his rat. (if he is still in the game)
but if you were his rat, i don't think you'd reveal your boss so easily. which makes me think it is a double bluff or something to protect elios. hence my vote is on elios as well, at least for the time being.
@freak: i really don't think the three who were fired to clear me would slip up and forget to vote. all three of them are pretty experienced players, so i am pretty much clear.
Leo: Hold on. This is gonna hurt. Coach Hedge: I was BORN for HURT!!

Next round's psych question is particularly interesting. I kind of hope we'll make it to the next round, just so I can have that question answered.

Ok. I hope Elios comes on before the round ends. I think that with 5 left, if we split the votes, we will win.
If buu and extreme or buu and freakshow are employees and vote Elios, then majority wins. Alternately, if jervis and Elios are employees and vote for freakshow. Then majority wins!
Sorry to spoil your psych question Shady. Keep it for next game!
I will change to freakshow now. As it stands, we can't lose unless Elios doesn't log in.

nice. this should work it is based on the assumption that the rat is still in the game right? otherwise we'll have a tie or something. but then we'll gain another round so should be a win.

Okay. So if Elios logs in, then some of us win no matter what. I'm confused.
NO ONE CHANGE YOUR VOTES.
ELIOS, IF YOU LOG IN, VOTE FOR FREAKSHOW

@Buu - Yeah. I assume that extremeblueness is rat or as you suggested, freakshow is rat. Either way, only one can be rat and the other would be employee (or freaky boss )
There's 12 hours, so I expect Elios will post fairly soon. If the three or four employees stick to this plan we will absolutely win. I regret we lost froggy earlier. It may have helped to have him voting with us. Oh well.
@extremeblueness - I think if anyone was the rat apart from you, it was kmrutledge. The boss wouldn't know who the rat is (they never got more than 33% of the votes) unless they didnt show up on the firing list when they should have. The rat would have to purposely not hack the network *looks apologetically at Shady* to be fired but even then it is optional.
The rat certainly gave no advantage by voting for you last round to then get fired. No tactical advantage to help the boss at all with that. Considering someone else also got fired for voting for you, you were getting cleared anyway.
On a side note, I'm really proud of the way all of the employees played this particular game. All of us have done a great job to get us to this point. Thanks to our comrades who fell to give us this victory! -Yeah I'm really cocky and confident right now lol!

@jervis how would I fit the rat clue? There's literally nothing in there that points to me as rat.

I haven't tried to work out rat clue. 1. Because I've had 2 intensive days at uni and can't do any more major brainteasing right now (brain=fried!) and 2. We have 2 options, Elios or freaky. It doesn't matter if you are or aren't the rat, as employee you will win if you stick to this plan, as rat, your vote doesn't count and the 3 employees votes will clinch the win.
I hope I haven't made a complete fool of myself thinking you were rat and you weren't. (I'm still embarrassed about kmr not being boss.) Only time will tell. I'm just glad I've had buu as a strong cleared ally in this. I'd be a bit worried to be the only cleared player (phew)

I'll tell you after the game why I felt particularly frustrated at the start of this attempt of the game.

No worries. I can certainly understand being frustrated in WTB. It's very much a team effort to win. Either boss/rat or employees. It's why the majority of completed games has employees as the eventual winners. Very difficult to win as boss or rat. ;)
I'm sososo sorry for being as Inactive as I have been for this game. It's been a hectic weekend, and things are only now settling down. In hindsight, I should have either not joined, or let myself be a mandatory early on so as to spare someone else. My apologies to the group.
I have to go back and do some reading, but quickly I will say I am not the Boss (if for no other reason than that I haven't seen Despicable Me 2 yet ). I'm going to go place my vote for freakshow and then come back after catching up.
Edit: Ok, I reread the last two rounds, and I think I'm fairly caught up for the moment. I do find extremeblueness' posts to be a bit Ratty, but it wouldn't be the first time I mistake eager and earnest work as attempted deception. LOL
Aside from what I could say in answer to the Psych questions, I don't know how to "prove" I'm not the Boss. I will say that, if Freak is the Boss, he sure does get to be Boss a lot! I know the odds are the same for everyone blah blah blah, but wow! LOL
I confirmed my vote is saved for freakshow.

Ok. Not changing votes.
For the record I do still think Elios is the boss. But I have to keep my vote for freakshow for the logic to work. Well done everyone and good game boss/rat. A difficult task to pull off at the end with 3 cleared players.
