Who's The Boss
Game #3323: Mostly Simple Game
This game is moderated by Yeesha. Please read the rules and contact the moderator with any questions or concerns about this game.
This game finished in 4 rounds.
Hello, everyone! This is a regular game, except there will be a twist involving your posts!
Everyone will receive a PM from me with a special rule to how they can post. This will be some sort of impairment or modification to how one regularly posts. Examples include "You may not use capital letters", "You must use a different color every time you post", etc.
Upon receiving your PM at the start of the first round, you must format your posts to fit that requirement. You may not state what your impairment is. However, you may PM another player and ask to "trade" impairments. Of course, you will not know what exactly their impairment is, but if they agree, you will state your impairments and will be considered to have "traded" once you tell each other the things. These messages do not have to go through me, just obviously don't discuss anything other than this in the PMs.
If you have any questions, just ask, preferably here so that everyone can learn the answer unless it's a private question related to your special impairment. Have fun!
P.S. I'll try to be as active as I can in moderating, but I'm not able to be online all of the time. Please bear with me, and I'll try to get things done as fast as I can!

Hi.
I'm confused about trading impairments. So we can't state our impairments in public? But we also can't outright state impairments in PMs without trading. But if we do 'trade' we can then state our impairments? So easy get around if both players agree?
You can't state impairments in public discussion at any time. But if you can guess what someone else's impairment is, you can PM them and ask them if they're interested in trading. They would have to guess your impairment as well, since you can't tell them what you're trading. If they agree, then, and only then, may you tell them what your impairment is. So yes, you're allowed to tell other people your impairments, but only privately, and only after you've committed to trade
So we have to guess an impairment before we can trade?
You don't HAVE to, but I assume you'll want to know what you're getting
Are we allowed to guess publically?
I'll have to think about it. Speculations might be okay, but you can't confirm or deny them.
Are we allowed to post publically that we have traded with someone?
No, but anyone who's observant should be able to figure it out.
OK Thanks.

I hope this game starts soon. Also, people are split up between games again with 5 players each. I've played rove's game before (I think so?) but this one is new so I picked this one. Thing is, the other game needs 10 players only, so if all 5 of us here want to move over to rove's we could get it started?

I don't mind if people move, as long as you come back
But his game was there first, so if you'd like to move, feel free!

I would only move if all 5 of us did, or at least 4 and hopefully a last one joins the nearly ready game, otherwise we're just playing seesaw and getting nowhere.

I could move. Rove's game sounds interesting too.

Go ahead and move, then, so we don't get stuck in a limbo like we seem to do...

Now we have 6 players each and that's with NoComm moving. I'll go and make that uneven again. More people should come and not even up us again lol.

Now there's 7 and 3.... not sure how that works. Feel free to go let that one start if you want, but hopefully both games can get underway before forever.

It depends on the amount of games that are waiting to fill up. Currently there were 2, so the people that would play in a game were split between each game. Now that that one has started, we should be getting a steady trickle of people from that game to here. It shouldn't be too much longer, hopefully!
While you're waiting, those of you who are new, make sure to go read the Who's the Boss game rules. One thing to note is that if you do not vote during the game round, you will automatically be "fired" and kicked out of the game. This is easily avoided if you check at least once a day and make sure to at least log a "safety vote" to avoid being manditorily fired.

Instructions so complecated! I think I have the basics. So, if you get fired, you're out of the game?

Yes! You really only need to know the basic gist:
One person will be the Boss, one will be the Rat, and the rest are Employees. If you are an Employee, your goal is to figure out who the Boss is. Every round, you can and should vote for the person that you think is the Boss. If more than half the people vote for the Boss, the Employees win.
However, the Boss can "fire" people each round. If the Boss fires everyone before you find them, the Employees all lose.
If you are the Rat, you will pretend to be an employee but you will secretly be loyal to the Boss (and you will know who they are). Your goal is to pretend to be an employee and divert suspicion from the Boss.
If you're the Boss, you will have to send out a "memo" each round, truthfully answering a question that the moderator asks. This is to help people figure out who you are. However, you can write this answer however you like - in code, in a different style, whatever.
If you get "fired" by the Boss, you will no longer be able to post and you'll be out of the game. If the majority of players vote for someone NOT the Boss, those people will go into a list that the Boss can fire. So you don't want to vote people you don't think are the Boss unless you're willing to take the risk of being fired. You'll know if you're fired, trust me.
Hope that helps get rid of some confusion! Feel free to PM me if you have questions, or ask them here!

Happy Halloween! This game took almost a month to fill up, so I wouldn't be too surprised at a few inactives

As far as I know, all but one or two people have been on in the last couple of days. Since public games are the only ones that usually get new players to play, sometimes manditories are just a fact of the game. :/ I hope everyone who can will be active, though!

Quick reminder that I'm inactive on Sundays. That means the round will most likely not start until Monday. See you then!
Edit: And if it's not too much trouble, can the boss please wait to answer the memo until sometime tomorrow morning (EST) so that the game doesn't time out if I'm not on in time? I'm doing a one-day-round game this time since many people like that, but that does mean it's a bit more challenging for me to work around Sundays.

Do we have to start using our impairments as soon as we receive them or do we wait until round 1?

I'm taking a gamble and waiting until round one. I think I'll be pretty easy to guess.
