Who's The Boss
Game #3240: Revenge of the Elder Chicks
This private game is moderated by Jayo. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 5 rounds.
The quest for revenge has gotten off to a solid start.
HP was waylaid to such a degree that he wasn't able to attend the meeting, Fleety was misdirected, rumors of the Otter's cousin appearing led Fleet to investigate.
6 more pesky Elders remain an obstacle, but for how long?
Quests!!!
The Quests below give the right to choose one of the 20 Boxes that I have randomized with Random.org.
Incorporating the idea of blank boxes, the following is a list of the prizes on offer:
8 x Clearing Clues, one for each employee. Once fired employees corresponding Box will be voided. Employee numbers also randomly generated so not necessarily alphabetical.
3 x Immunity for 1 Round
1 x Immunity for 2 Rounds
1 x Immunity/Blank Box (Die cast: odd = Immunity, Even = Blank)
2 x Rat Clue
1 x Rat Clue/Blank Box (Coin flipped: Heads = Rat Clue, Tails = Blank)
2 x Boss Clue
1 x Instant Clear – Employee that picks this will be revealed to everyone to be clear. If Rat/Boss pick this then a random additional clearing clue will be provided
1 x Hot Box – If selected, the unlucky winner will be immediately fired. Rat will be fired if they choose it, Boss clue if the Boss picks it. (This action won't necessarily identify the Boss straightaway as it could be interpreted as simply a Boss Clue Box from the point of view of the employees.)
The Quests vary in difficulty so first come first served! Some quests have specific instructions to claim the prize.
Quest 3
A hidden reveal will surely give you cause to smile, the instruction if followed will yield success.
Quest 6 - SOLVED!!
What's the link?
GS 1948 2009 2018
Quest 7 - SOLVED!!
Does a well know breakfast cereal hold the KEY to unlocking the below I wonder?
The below is just gibberish, call shenanigans and you complete this quest!

Quest 8
My nosy cousin wanted to know what I got up to in the summer, if I traveled at all. I guess I could have just come right out and said it but I sent him this text instead:
Cousin! Admittedly a zany notion materialized this: xylophone operated keyboard Ken sent me opened improbable liaisons.
What journey did I undertake?
Quest 9 - SOLVED!!
Well, chimps, hippos and rhinos have this in common. In a manner of speaking.
Quest 10 - SOLVED!!
What could it be?
Josh has always been good with his hands, he crafted the thing himself, though truth be told he doesn't have any use for it. John, who was frugal day in and day out, doesn't want it, doesn't think it is anything special though he pays for it readily enough. James uses it though he was never really a fan of woodwork and wasn't consulted about it at all and really couldn't care less about it.
Only One Prize per person per round, first correct answer for each quest wins.
If this wasn't obvious, you cannot answer more than one Quest!
Prizes awarded instantly (well as soon as I see them!)
Best of luck all

Is 9 just that they're abbreviated names of the actual animal names
I have a safety on bfftwer for now...last round I got a clearing clue that says "It's not yours, and it is a kind of scientific term of love"
haven't made any progress on it so putting it out there but if it's not a quick solve I definitely am more interested in whovi's boss clue since the clear could be slammn or one of the fired folks
Edit: just noticed...only one box was voided? So perhaps a clearing clue already out is useless now or one of HP and Fleetwood wasn't an employee

Oooh good point crazy. Might be on to something.
Jayo, I was just trying to help the next people who come along.
I didn't explicitly give the answer, rigggght?
I also see something else in number 9, but I'm not sure.
Immunity is nice.
Ooooooh! Nice!

It was the "in a manner of speaking" that led me in that direction...though a couple other quests seem easy this round

Better than last round. Still don't know how some were solved.
Also, the boss doesn't like Christmas carols. Why not?

I assert there are Easter carols... they are just called hymns.
But the idea of secular Easter songs is terrifying, like that Peter Cottontail song.
Here is the Boss Clue - I definitely need help since I only know one of the songs.
Screen - Twenty One Pilots.
Losing My Religion - REM
Count on me - Bruno Mars
It's a disease, not a punch line

Apparently Losing My Religion was inspired by the work of Fleetwood Mac, which would've been awesome if Fleet was still in the game.
Also, my clearing clue was "Acquire the power grid while avoiding risk"
Acquire, Risk, and Power Grid are all board games focused on economics. Monopoly seems to fall under that category as well so I would assume KZ is the one being cleared by this.

The voided box: This was a clearing clue for a fired employee. I didn't think it was fair on balance to have someone solve a quest and be rewarded with a clear for someone that is already gone.
Yes the clearing clue would at least confirm that the fired employee wasn't the Rat but still.

My clearing clue was indeed likely for Fleetwood..."it's not yours" means "my" and "scientific term of love" is "chemical romance"...which I suppose refers to her avatar
So that gives credit in my opinion to celtichero's clearing clue and to kz's employee status...Jayo really likes his music so I'm not surprised by whovi's boss clue
We don't have a clearing majority going on this round but should we try to clear someone who hasn't been able to provide us with any clues with these quests? Confirming my vote for bfftwer but willing to change...probably will vote with kz if it comes down to that since he has the safety of immunity
And I'll choose Box 12
There's a higher chance this is the hotbox so just in case...good luck to the employees if it is

My clearing clue said
"I was going to write a clearing clue, honestly, but I'll do it later..."
I dont know whether this is a clearing clue or literally what it means, if it means something need help.
voting for bff
They were all trying to open the door with strength, authority and intelligence I just watched them push and pull as I tried to decide whether or not to give them the key.

Let's get a majority!!! Im not participating since i'm cleared.
I'm pretty sure whov is human since she has a boss clue. I have immunity, so I'll vote add a vote for Stewie.
Ooooooh! Nice!
Ooooooh! Nice!
Box 7 for me
I'll vote for Stewie also.

OK looks like I'm gonna be the clear this round if that's the way you wanna go, I'm down for being cleared.
Anyway I am struggling with clue 3 in the meantime.

Hey look, majority of 3 with 2/3 players cleared. That's great. Let's hope the boss follows up on it.
Also, Jayo, do you make up the riddles yourself?

Relying on celt being truthful with his clearing clue for kzmonopoly and whovi also being an employee with a genuine boss clue...the boss is likely one of bfftwer, stewie, or lightwolf.
Got another clearing clue this round that's rendered useless... (added space)
xwncqramxocqnfjhcqnanwxfildiwxgshduiwtlpniwtgt cdlhjwllqemuzsddlzwosqlzwjwfgokdseakudwsj
I shifted it 18 letters and it said slammngirl is cleared as if we didn't already know...sorry...but keeping my vote on bfftwer. Not sure stewie is the boss and there are two people with immunity voting him.
Edit: What is with lightwolf's clearing clue...it sounds like a case of procrastination and the only one with any hint of that is kz on his profile...but celt already has a clue for him? Something smells fishy

I agree^ Also, seems odd lightwolf has not joined the stewie majority to clear him.
One of the clues could be a different person.
Slamm, who did you vote for?
Ooooooh! Nice!
Slamm, who did you vote for?
Ooooooh! Nice!
Maybe, but one seems like a better thought out clue than the other...and I don't see a link to anyone else with either one yet
Got another clearing clue.

With a keyword of clearing and without spaces it spells out the boss is not bfftwer.
Really leaning towards lightwolf now.

I am not the boss but if you want to clear me, go right ahead I'll even join in.
The reason I didn't join in for the Stewie majority is because I didn't log in after I signed out, I think this would be obvious, also I don't know what's wrong with the clearing clues either celt is lying or one clue is for another person.

It's worth a clear, since we have time. I'd like to see someone (not me, I'm being lazy) gather all the clearing clues in one post and see what we've got.
