If Bradon is the boss again, wow o.o
4demo should definitely be cleared by the firings, so for me it's either Deb or Bradon. Funny that Snowy was wary of all three of us, but I need whoever the other employee here to help me xD
The memos almost alternate between long and short sentences, I'm not sure I've seen Deb use such long sentences like the one in the second memo. But it's still possible it could be her. I'll put my vote on Bradon for now, until I read the previous rounds and think otherwise.
Edit: okay so they're not extremely long, and one could be from the dictionary...dunno.

Unless I'm mistaken, I'm the only cleared player? I have no reason to rule out anybody else right now, so please let me know if I overlooked something important!
I sort of get the impression that the Boss isn't a very math-y person (or wants us to think she isn't). I searched the phrase used in the answer (mathematical method of calculation /reasoning) and there don't seem to be any websites that use that exact definition. Also, based on my high school calculus class and a quick perusal of a couple other sources, I don't think I'd necessarily call calculus a method of calculation or reasoning. (It certainly includes both, but that's probably more how I'd describe algebra or logic, for example.)
Voting deb for now, feel free to convince me otherwise.

I just know that I need to vote with whoever the other employee is for us to have a chance at winning. I'm going to assume the boss kept the rat around, for our own urgency and because the boss would only be giving an extra round to guess who she is.
I don't know what to think, if Deb is really calling me simple and un-mathy Calculus is all about differentials and integration to me, but of course, I could dismiss that if I wrote the memo to not stand out. Not trying to say it's a guarantee it's not me. (The breakfast thing would clear me more, I strongly believe breakfast is when you should eat like a king/queen, though I run out with mine out the door nearly everyday xD). I won't bring anything else up about my current situation with math unless it's absolutely necessary, and if you seem to think that being un-mathy would point to me as boss of all people.
I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise, 4demo, because she's the only other possibility for me. But for now, keeping my vote until tomorrow.

I'm a bit confused. I think deb is trying to say SilverWitch is the Boss, and vice versa?

Sorry for missing the start of the round, had some excitement with my grandson falling and breaking his foot so grandma had to make sure he was going to be okay.He is, but boy he sure is in pain,and like his mother, will not take anything for the pain.
Anyhow, where do we stand. Towards the end of last round Snowy suspected just about everyone, so her being fired isn't a surprise. The memos are not telling us anything, at least I'm not getting anything from them. It's coming down to the end and no one stands out as Boss or Rat to me. There is no doubt that 4 demo is not Boss but could still be the Rat, I think. I say could be, but I'm not getting a sense of her trying to sway votes,unless I'm missing something, so she probably isn't. That leaves Deb and SilverWitch. I think they are confusing things somewhat so the choice of who is the one being most confusing is a toss up. I just know the Boss has to be one of them, and as HABS always says, we really can't worry about the Rat. My gut tells me to trust that 4demo is being most forthright, so I'll also vote Deb as Boss.

I'm still not clear who exactly you meant by "the only other possibility" and who your vote was for. However, if Silver and Bobbi are both voting for deb and the Rat is still around, then deb is probably not the Boss (whoever is the Rat should be trying harder to get votes off her). I don't think Bobbi is the Boss, although she could be the Rat, in which case Silver is most likely the Boss...

I have my vote on Bradon, but I'm saying Deb is my only other possibility.
Given the situation now, it would make sense that Bradon is the boss, and either Deb or 4demo is the rat. I'm thinking Deb, since she's saying she's voting me out of the two possibilities for her but doesn't seem to mind the vote on her (votes if I changed mine to her as well). Unless this is some elaborate scheme to make me think the above when Deb is actually the boss, by purposely having everyone suspect her, and then getting us to eliminate her as a possibility because there's no rat defending her. Pretty much like a lesson learned from last game.
However, 4demo could be the rat too, in which case Bradon would also likely be the boss. Tell me what it is that makes you think she's less likely than me to be boss?

The way I see it, there are 4 of us left, two who are definitely employees and either 1 Rat and 1 Boss, or just 1 Boss and 3 employees. I know I'm one of the employees, and the only other one I can at least half trust is 4demo. We know for certain she is NOT the Boss. Since I want to win this game I have no real choice but to trust 4demo, at least to a certain extent, and hopefully we can agree on who is the Boss. Just the way the last round played out, I'm thinking Boss could be Deb, but I'm willing to listen to what everyone else thinks. We have time to work this out.

Nothing concrete. I'm sort of just going off intuition because there isn't much tangible to go on (unfortunately, my WTB intuition is often not very good ). After rereading the past couple of rounds, it seemed like Bobbi's behavior just felt more "straightforward" and I didn't get a sense she was hiding anything or trying to divert votes. I'm also confused why you wouldn't "bring anything else up about [your] current situation with math unless it's absolutely necessary" -- I respect your privacy, of course, but math doesn't seem like something private in the sense that, say, religion might be.
Unfortunately, I'm attending two events tonight so I won't be back on before the round ends. My vote is currently on deb, so I'm very, very sorry if this turns out to be wrong.

Yes, math is not a private thing, but for me, it's a little complicated, and I would need to explain more parts of my life related to that for everything to make sense. But basically, I take math in college even though I'm still in high school.
What's making me uncomfortable is that if the rat is still here, she's not trying to defend Deb at all. If the boss is on her own, then maybe, but if that's the case, there's still one more round. Which to me would make more sense to try for Bradon before Deb. If there really are no more vote changes, then I'll switch over to Deb in about three hours time to get that majority, reluctantly so, but better than no majority which can't win the game.

hey
well i am assuming demo is cleared
so bobi or silver
i didn't mean to imply that you are simple silver, quite the contrary, i think you are very clever
i just thought ya'll were talking about me
i do post in like bullet points, but that doesn't mean i am the boss!!
as far is the math thing, well, i got nothing
silver is undoubtedly smart in math, bobi - i think she is too
but that doesn't mean one of you are not the boss
it kinda looks like i am being set up
i really think silver
edit
i don't know if nad would say if the rat is still in the game
need to look back and see if he said anything about it
i told snow i stink at this

I didn't mean to imply you were simple, Deb. In fact, whether the boss showed she was simple or not through the memos is still not that clear to me. I can only look at interactions here.
If you aren't the boss, the only one not setting you up is me. But if you're the rat, that would explain why you would choose to say you vote for me rather than Bradon. Unfortunately for me, if 4demo is really the other employee, she's not getting back on to change her vote, so I'm going to have to change mine.
Maybe Bradon is a third employee, and I've been wrong this whole round, meaning no rat. Nad probably wouldn't tell us, it's common practice to just not reveal that and let it influence the game. I'll just switch my vote to Deb now, since there's not really another choice.
