Who's The Boss
Game #3009: Majority Rules
This private game is moderated by HABS2933. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 5 rounds.
RULES:
1) In this game the majority rules in the firing of employees
2) You MUST vote for yourself every round.
3) By the end of the round, you are to send me a PM with your vote for who is the boss.
4) The person who receives the most votes will be mod fired.
5) You MAY NOT vote for someone simply because you do not like them.
6) The Rat must still hack the network and is to inform me if anyone violated the self vote rule.(And prove it by sending me a screen shot) If someone has - he too shall be terminated.
7) If the Boss receives the majority of the votes, the employees will be informed and they can vote for said individual the following round.
Contrary to what Har posted in Round 0, this game (especially given point 7) is QUITE WINNABLE by the employees and does not really differ from the regualar format other than the boss cannot fire anyone on his/her own.
**Which again mirrors real life (boss having little power) as there are labour laws that dictate the circumstances under which someone can be fired. ... I ended up with over 5G a few years ago because a manager decided to violate the law and the company was sued for wrongful dismissal. They were also ordered to rehire me at my current wage, but I declined.

Safety vote for (duh) myself.
Not much else to say... the boss seems like a reasonable person.

Oh, and I'm not sure if his spelling mistake means anything or if it's just to throw us off. But I *definitely know how to spell that word.
Safety vote for SaraGrace

lol thanks guys - you can actually discuss your real votes (only way to win is to get others on board) but you must vote on the voting page for yourself.

I voted for kitty-cat because she commented on the boss's attributes. That seems a little suspicious to me.

Yay! Round started! I will be voting for myself. And, so I suppose we're clearing kitty-cat? According to one person....
Wait, wait, wait, there is no clearing in this game. If you get a majority on someone, they get fired. Also, I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, Sara, but that's the only way we can actually find the boss.
:facepalm: umm I guess I should of had worded that differently. I'm still thinking normal WTB! But... Umm let's vote for kitty anyways!
Pretty sure I am the boss - voting myself.
Kitty's a good first round shot, memo sounds like her and the psych answer sounds like something from the first page of a first-person novel.
Happy ever after in the marketplace, Desmond lets the children lend a hand. Molly stays at home and does her pretty face, and in the evening she's the singer with the band!

I'd have to disagree koin! I am almost definitely positive I am the boss.
No no no everyone I am sure I am the boss that is why I voted me Dp good humor.

Though there is plenty of time left , do not forget to send me a PM with who you think the boss really is.
If you do not send a PM, it will be considered to be a non-vote and you will be mod-fired. If there is a non-voting mod fire, the majority vote getter is safe for the round as there will only be one firing per round.

Har, not sure why you are having so much trouble with the rules. No one else seems to be having a problem understanding the game. As with the regular game, nothing happens if the rat fails to hack the system (even under the regular rules all that happens is he is on the firing list).
There will not be any inactives, so there will be one firing per round as stated in the rules,
If you are the boss you can win the same way as you do in the regular game, but not getting caught.
If you nail the boss in the first (or subsequent rounds) I will tell you then you all vote the boss the next round and get your check-mark in the win column.
It's not rocket science ...
And how am I being tyrannical? The rules are not that different from the regular ones other than you are voting through me instead of the system.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

I agree that the set up isn't very difficult.
Har just enjoys pointing out flaws

Well it can't be har. He uses 3 dots. It can't be me. I would have a hard time calling 911 without a phone with in reach. *no cell phone*
Fleetie i don't see typing that netiher do i slam. Jayo nah.
Koin is a maybe
Sara is a defintie suspect it sorta of sounds like the last games prompts
Kitty- Another suspect.
Dp- Something more creative than calling 911._ maybe
Kmr- I don' think so.

I don't know kitty very well, but I was thinking maybe her... I don't know why but it just seems like it.
I agree that it does sound a lot like the last prompts with Sara... maybe if we get the majority for kitty this round.. Sara next round if we are still all on the same page?
Har would have grabbed the hot 18 year old in his house...
Slamm?... maybe? probably not...
Jayo no lol...
DP is kind of a maybe
Kmr is another person I don't know very well so I can't say much about..
So what I am trying to say with all fo this is that I think that my top 2 suspects are Sara and Kitty...
Don't be shy everyone! What do you think?!?!? (does not apply to har.. nobody cares what you think)

I probably would of grabbed... Hmm well I think I would of had grabbed a fire estinguisher then brutally attacked the fire to save my giant library of books. So I guess vote for kitty. Locking it in and pming Habs.

I dont really know sara but she could be a second round option if thats what you all think.
Happy ever after in the marketplace, Desmond lets the children lend a hand. Molly stays at home and does her pretty face, and in the evening she's the singer with the band!

I don't know Sara TOO well, all I know is that she had a similar post last time she was boss..
Sorry not me, I was boss last game remember. If I was in that situation I would grab my medical supplies. I am diabetic.

Well, if you posted that, it would give it away! It does sound kinda similar, but since she was boss last time I think it would be smart to vote for the more likely subject, kitty, and then go for Sara next round if it isn't kitty. Well, theres no vote change for me anyways! Already locked it in...
I guess I agree, nothing says you can't be boss twice in a row does it? Unlikely? I suppose.
I already sent the PM to HABS voting for kitty, let's not get ahead of ourselves too much. We will see what round 2 brings us... and then we will decide upon who to vote.

I was just suggesting a possible suspect... but I guess youre right flettie!
Your chances of being the boss are always the same. I was the boss twice in a row over the summer.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

Sara's odds of being boss twice in a row are 1 in 100 (assuming both are 10 player games). however thats the same probability as any other combination of the same people in 2 games.

Are you giving us a hint there Habs, defending Sara? I think, after kitty is brutally fired we should go for Sara; next round because a lot of us have probably locked in votes (including me)
DP want to join my team???? Me Max jayo slammi and fleetie???

Voting Jayo because it seems like the thing to do here
Yeah I really doubt I would be calling 911, the 2 numbers we use here are 112 & 999 for emergency services.
I'll pm Habs my choice now, and we will see who ended up getting the majority of the pm votes

I agree with Har's list of suspects...

So we have an expanding team... hopefully we all sent in the pms
PMed my vote for Kitty last night, we are safe.

I voted kitty, too. Sorry, I fell asleep and didn't post...
WELCOME TO ROUND 2 -
I didn't submit a memo so I will have the Boss PM me a message for you and as I cannot fire someone until after the round has started, I have instructed the Boss to fire KITTY, she received 5 or the 7 votes that were cast. As the Boss and Rat do not vote (JUST LIKE THE REAL GAME Har), I should have received 8 PMs, Kitty must have decided it was a moot point as she did not cast a vote. She would have been mod fired anyway.
Saragrace and Max received the other two votes.
I have spoken to the Boss and with the combination of our schedules, I will try to start the round about 4pm EDT. Sorry about the hold-up.
Would you guy prefer I do what RHY does and have a set time the rounds start? He always starts the rounds at 7 (whether AM or PM) which ever is the nearest time to when he receives the memo.

Yeah a set start time sounds good, least peeps would know when to get back on and not keep checking for updates etc

Final guess for future reference - Har is rat, Fleet is boss. Not positive but it seems likely.
Thanks kitty.... I guess you aren't the boss if Habs is planning a second round. Well, sorry about ya know foreign you then...

I will start the round as close to 5 as I am able. (Won't be more than 15 minutes on either side).

I am also a bit confused by the rules. In this case there is no clearing it is just fire. I am worried then if you weren't the boss then you are now just been fired out of the game.

Yeah, it's more like WWG - no clearing, it's totally based on figuring out the boss from the memo/psych. It is nice to have some warning, though, before the firing.
Yes, the firings work more like WWG then WTB.
I cannot give any warning as I don't know who is going to be fired until I tabulate the votes stated in the PMs.
You guys should still compile voting lists as you would normally. That way you have a way of knowing who is in the line of fire.

I meant that we do have some warning in this game and we can say our final statements in the time between the end of a round and the beginning of the next.
I just read about the round being started at 5, i will not be on until around 6:30.
Hopefully the boss already sent out the memo so it can start ASAP.
EDIT: Just made it orange because I forgot!

And I might not be here either: I have field hockey most nights, but it seems like a good time to start.
Yes, what Kitty says is true. I will allow the firex emploee ONE FINAL message provided it is sent before the 5 o'clock start time.
