IDK, but my top suspects are SW, 4Demo and I think maybe HABS based on the psych answer. Just a hunch.Will lock a vote in later, I want to see what others think.
Take all sorrow out of life and you take away all richness, and depth, and tenderness. The capacity of sorrow belongs to our grandeur. It is the furnace that melts hearts together in love.

I tried to translate the message and I think it is German. When I entered it into a search, the translators would not give me anything but "it has to be a complete sentence". I also was redirected to Hotel Art Koerschen in Essen, Germany which has to do with arts and culture. This isn't helping me at all... Hope someone else has more luck than I did!
A search of the forums for utopia only gave two hits and neither are in the game.
In a check of last round's voting list, it shows that Sara stated a vote for Silver as did Bobby. So, if they (or even just Sara) did vote for Silver, then Silver cannot be the Boss or Sara would not have been fired.
For now, voting for Bobbi Bradon subject to change after others have posted their thoughts and the clue is solved.
SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Unless Sara forgot to lock in her vote. As for teasers, he voted for deb, so we can assume she is not the boss, unless his vote wasn't locked in as well.
Potential cleared players - SW and deb
I can't clear them 100% at this point though.

Not sure if the memo is displaying properly to me this is what I see:
begrü�ung
I don't know what it is, but this does not resemble the German I remember from school.
If you go back and look at any game in which I have been boss, I have never posted in another language. I have no need to, I can hide in plain sight quite well. If I were to use a "foreign" language I would pick something like Esperanto, to make it harder to identify.
I would think Har was responsible for the Utopia comment if he were in the game.
Maybe the dog only brings the ball back because he thinks you like throwing it.

I wonder if the mod and boss can determine whether this begrü�ung can actually be translated. If not, maybe the boss should send us something else.

Yes, I hope the boss will send something else, seems like this happened in the last game we played.
Anyhow,can we be sure SilverWitch is cleared since Sara was fired?. I'm positive I locked in my vote,so either Sara didn't or she was the Rat and didn't hack the system. All I know for sure is my vote was in and I'm not the boss.
Will safety for 4demo for now. Still wondering why SW said what she said about us being crazy, though.

Since we don't know if votes were locked, we can't clear anyone 100%. That's my take on it. If 2 players had been fired and they both voted for the same person, I'd be able to clear the voted person more easily.
I'm going to place a vote for HABS - Will change if need be.

Attention all: please disregard the memo. The boss apologizes and offers this instead:
Begrüßung

I looked up "Begrüßung" and it looks like it just means "greeting" in German. Probably not much to go on, but I wonder if the Boss played in snowy's recent game (I recall a couple of psych answers or memos not in English there as well).
Voting for Longhorn for now.

Google Translate identifies Begrüßung as a German word meanig "Welcome'. We were taught Willkommen was the way to say "welcome" (when welcoming someone somewhere anyway). I am not sure I recognize having ever learned that word.

Sorry about the confusion last round. I'm putting a safety on 4demo.
Looks like a majority is forming on 4demo.
edit - confusion last round? You mean we're not crazy? I'd still like to know what you meant.

ok checking in
couple of things, just to get straight in my mind
1. why are they crazy silver??(it might very well be a non issue, but has become an issue)
2. i thought demo was a lady 25+. as is frogster, please correct me if i am wrong
3. i was a rat when smithy was boss, people do lie on who they vote for, so i agree with snow on the if more than 2 people voted for the same person being cleared thing
4. the boss doesn't have to fire everyone on the list, right??
i think i will go with either snow or habs, but then again is demo a teacher??
i will go for SNOW right now, might change

[coolr=blue] I don't think she really meant anything by it .... [/color]
[color=blue] I have no idea how old either of them are, do you have a theory about the boss's age? [/color]
[color=blue] I think this may be a good rule of thumb. The likelihood of 2 players lying, or being mistaken, about their votes is small. [/color]
[color=blue] The boss can choose not to fire anyone at any point in the game (though he will never win doing that). [/color]
[color=blue] just wondering if you think the boss's job is relevant? Either as potentially pointing to, or clearing someone?[/color]
[color=blue] Noted, and list is updated [/color]

in response to habs
1. probably she didn't mean anything but inquiring minds want to know
2. well i thought i was onto something but if i am right about demo and the froginator it goes out the window because silver is the only one left under 25, plus she is on the ball, so my thoughts weren't thought out well plus knowing age range is good for future reference
3. if you are saying what snow said "Since we don't know if votes were locked, we can't clear anyone 100%. That's my take on it. If 2 players had been fired and they both voted for the same person, I'd be able to clear the voted person more easily. " then yeah
4. ok just checking
5. this went to my #2 thought, but most everyone here is computer savvy and could look up foreign words, so i don't think i was on to anything

I wish I was under the blankets. It's snowing like crazy! Keeping my vote for HABS at the moment.
For those that "may" be cleared, I think it would be a good idea if you stayed out of any majorities. Sara was pretty cleared, and she got fired. . . . the boss's don't need cleared players around to use, so if they can, they will fire them first.

I'm under 25 (but over 18, to give a reasonable estimate of my age range). What happened to when being an older teenager made me the second oldest player in a game?
Not sure what the relevance of 25 is though -- is this number important for some reason, or is it an arbitrary cutoff?
Also, what do Bradon and Longhorn in purple / orange mean?

The use of purple and orange were as arbitrary as the use of green and red for [green]4demo and snow.
IF you look back at any voting list I've ever made in either game, I colour code votes and group like votes together. No thought is put into what colour is used for what group.
------------
Not sure about Snow's insistence on voting for me, not sure what part of the memos or psych answers sound like me...
1) I guess not eating breakfast could be any of us ....
2) Were I to welcome players I would have done it in the first round, not the second and I wouldn't have bothered to look up a way to say it in another language.
It is not uncommon knowledge out there that I was born in Germany so the boss may be using German to try to point to me. However, I was born on a CANADIAN military base to CANADIAN parents and moved back to Canada at a year of age - so my knowledge of German is limited to 2 years of HS.
I am quite familiar with Utopia but would not need to consult a dictionary to give its definition. I would reference the origin of the term - a novel written by Sir Thomas Moore in the early 1500s (not sure the exact date) which I have read 4 or 5 times.
Still not sure who the boss is, he/she is being careful not to divulge too much to us this game. All I know is, I am not the boss.
Though I am not overconfident in the vote, we need more clears so I wll stay with my vote on 4demo

HABS, I voted for you because I wanted to. No biggie. I did not vote for you last round, someone else did, and you had no problem with that. . . . . so why are you making it sound as if I am insisting on voting for you? Even if we were to get a majority on you, wouldn't it be a good thing? If you're not the boss, we can clear you, if you are the boss, we've found the boss . . . . it's not like a vote for you is going to automatically get you fired.
Now my question is, why are you against me voting for you? If you don't like the idea of me not joining the majority, then why not mention everyone else that stayed out of the majority for 4demo.
