Retraction
By Winner4600
Horseluvr and luke are cleared - neither has logged in for a while. The other scenario (logging in before 4demo) was right. I'll refrain from accusing anyone right away...
A Peek Inside
By Winner4600
I decided to work for The Braingle Times because 1) I worked here before, and 2) 4demo was modding and I decided to trod on her nerves again. Oh yeah, and 3) because now I'm ATTORNEY!!!
I didn't have high expectations to begin with ( ) so sure, working here has lived up to my (nonexistent) expectations so far.
Opinion
By Winner4600
I think, therefore I am. I think that 4demo needs to stop being so controlling. I think a potluck party up in BH23.17 would be very desirable, for the reasons that 4demo might "accidentally" be sucked into a star. Of course, as her Legal Attorney, I would naturally be the next in line for position of HR. So there.

I have chosen my succesor to be the Editor; if necessary, the successor to the Editor will be the Assistant Editor. I will consider Winner's request for a potluck party (but not in BH23.17). I will also be contacting my Attorney promptly to begin drafting my will in the event of an... accident caused by LD.

Hey, wait a sec...
Edit: By the way, the Editor misspelled "too". And a few commas are missing, but other than that the memo is grammatically correct.

I know the Editor has made some errors, but they don't obscure the meaning enough to necessitate my correcting them. Please note (all players, not just Winner) that over 99% of the time I will not edit the memo or psych response unless it's so poorly wrriten it's near impossible to understand.

Winner, you call yourself a QM? S/he also used "then" instead of "than".

Tedger, while you're on, post your articles.
So, according to Winner, you're trying to find somebody who logged in before me and isn't a QM?
Tedger is tolerable, but why Winner of all people?

Well, you're a QM, and you always make errors... so that reasoning doesn't make sense. The Editor is someone who logged in before you started the game yesterday, and after you logged out the second (or whenever) time... definitely NOT the two I named, though.

Mr. Pok Reveals Answers!
Question: The infamous question everybody dreads: a. What made you decide to and/or want to work for "The Braingle Times"? b. Has working here lived up to your expectations thus far? Why or why not? If you played in The Braingle Times [#1], you may NOT copy-paste your answer without any modification.
Answer:
A) As a young adult I still haven't decided what job I would like to major in. As a student who enjoys reading and writing I thought I would try being a reporter who does both reading and writing. As there is not a school paper at my school and The Braingle Times is the only newspaper on Braingle I decided to give it a shot.
B) I would say it hasn't so far.
C) It hasn't because I've not been able to show my full potential as a news reporter and that I feel is one of the worst points a newspaper can have. If a newspaper has a million amazing reporters and the newspaper doesn't allow any of them to show their awesome news reporting then that paper is going to stink.

Oh, and whoever's doing Politics and/or Business needs to write something about the behind-the-scenes HR v. LD battle.

a. What made you decide to and/or want to work for "The Braingle Times"?
I'm an English Major, minoring in Journalism and I simply love it. I was the editor of my school paper last year. Plus, I like highly involved WTB games and this one most definitely is one. A cool theme is sure to make the game fun.
b. Has working here lived up to your expectations thus far? Why or why not? If you played in The Braingle Times [#1], you may NOT copy-paste your answer without any modification
I think it's far too early to say if the game has lived up to my high expectations. But the foundation for a great game has been laid, so I hope for the best.

Preliminary Thoughts
My preliminary thought is that the Editor is shaidar. Just his response to the first part of the Psych question gave me the feeling that it would be him. I just think that is something he would say... So, for now, my vote will be going towards Shaidar. Can you convince me to switch?

Early Suspiscion
My early thought was that the boss is Legalmumbojumbo. The mannerisms and especially the quote made me think so. In my TWG game I am MODing he posted a quote from some obscure thing early on, so he gets my vote. *Counts to 25*
Work at the BT
a. I decided to work for the BT because my previous employment was very enjoyable! b. No working here has not lived up to my expectations, the wait for the Paper to actually start was excrutiating, but I waited through it and there are clear skies ahead!

Kittycat brings up a good point. While I did add the storyline, mandate articles, and create the HR v. LD conflict to make the game more interesting, this is still a WTB game and the objective is still to unmask the Editor. I appreciate your participation, but let's not forget what we're supposed to be doing here. (Thank you kittycat for the reminder - I think I was actually beginning to forget that myself!)

The Fish That Got Away
As I am intent on catching a whopper without going to BK, I will go a fishing on Kitty. Hopefully the bait bites.
4demo, can I do finances along with comics? Thanks.

Fish Vote For Now by Dolphingurl12
As the game is only beginning, it is hard to tell who the Editor is. While there are no front-runners, I think I will fish (or dolphin vote, as I prefer to call it) vote for LegalMumboJumbo. Upon a turn of events in which something mind changing occurs, I shall do so.

The Evidence is Aganist Shadar
Mr.Pok is trying out his new job as a detective! He has followed all his leads and so far the evidence has pointed to shadar. As the Editor said a lot of their buddies were in this game, I checked Shadar's buddy list and 6 of his buddies are in this game. Also, as one of Shadar's buddies and I know him pretty well, I know he seems amused when people have arguements. Unless Mr. Shadar can convince me otherwise I'm going to agree with Mr. MattM. Mr. Pok signing out!

Legal, I think Finances is part of Business and Economy... I guess you could co-do (yes, I know that's not a word) that with chocolatecake. Is that okay with you? If so, I'll add you.
Dolphin, real events don't hurt, but you're free to invent things as long as they're believable. (For example, signs of life in black holes are not considered believable... )
Tedger, your article is... too... opinionated.

The U.S Dollar Loses Strength
Today is a very sad day in the world finances. The dollar, after starting to drop in 2001, has reached an all time low. Today, congress is considering whether to adopt the New York Subway Token as the new currency as it is approximately worth 4.547474988484 more. Republican senator Vladimir Lenin has this to say "If the vending machines and trains will take it, so will Almighty Wally World. Onward thou dearest token!" and in angry retort, the democrat James Hendrix had to say "If it's good at Wal-Mart, why don't we use the for food! Anyways you can't use tokens in vending machines". Shortly after this conversation, the camera panned to the ground, gunshots were heard among angry Russian shouts, a body bag was taken out of the senate floor and James Hendrix chose not to voice any more opposition against the the token.

Question Answered
a. What made you decide to and/or want to work for "The Braingle Times"?
As some of you might know, there have not been many 'good' themed or creative WTB games recently. When I saw The Braingle Times 2, I immediately signed up, knowing that a good game was in store for me. I enjoyed the first game, but was voted out prematurely. 4demo is an amazing mod, and puts lots of effort into her games. That fact alone would have signed me up for this.
b. Has working here lived up to your expectations thus far? Why or why not?
Yes, my experience at The Braingle Times has been a great one and has by far exceeded my expectations. The premise for the whole theme has been set up and the roleplaying has begun. Hopefully, everyone continues to contribute to the theme to make this a great game. I know that there are still some surprises yet to come and I cannot wait.

For the first time since Israeli-Palestinian fighting broke out in 2000, tourists flocked to Jersulem to visit Manger Square in the center of the historic town. Many tourists were reassured by recent peace talks between the long time enemies and felt it was once again safe to make the pilgrimage on Christmas. Signs of the recent violence are not absent, however. Twenty-five foot concrete walls surround Bethlehem to protect it from attacks. Nonetheless, the 400 returning tourists provide an extra cheery air to the war-torn country. Maybe the Christmas spirit will finally provide peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

Disney Photo Selection
This wonderful image is of the famed Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World, Florida. The viewer can clearly see the reflection of the lit castle in the moat below. This is one of my personal images I took in June 2007.
This somewhat chilling image was taken by me at MGM Studios in Orlando. The white clouds above in the dark sky certainly give the Hollywood Hotel a haunted feeling. In reality, the clouds are said to be due to the space shuttle launch earlier that day.

Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.
Matt, your pictures are great! MGM Studios is the only of the four Disney parks I haven't visited yet, but from your picture, it looks like it'd be a great Halloween destination (if I only had school off then... *sigh*). Just one small thing: if you could keep them a little smaller in the future...
I'll update my very plain speadsheet later...

Analog Lost
Starting February 19, 2008, those with an analog-only cell phone will disconnected. The Federal Communications Commission is allowing cell phones companies to turn off their analog networks. With new digital technology, the space freed up can be used with greater efficiency. Those with older cars equipped with OnStar, Lexus Link and TeleAid will also be affected by the the turn off.

Kitty's Opinion
So far, we can only hope more people will remember to post.I'm hoping for a good psych question, one that will give us a clue, a piece to the puzzle.

The fish's vote of a cat
no offense but i will vote randomly for round 1 towards kittycat and wil hav extremely bad grammar
MY answer towards a well known question:
It seemed intresting. Why not?
Dog or food:
Scientists say dogs are not edible except the ones that are edible. That is all.
You never know how important something is until you lose it.

What ticks in the mind?
I choose to work at the BT for the people and the benjamins. When you get paid in the 5 digit range, who needs job satisfaction?
B. Who knows? I mean, it's the first round. I will say I certainly enjoyed it so far.

Burger King Cockroaches!
On a recent trip to Burger King I discovered a family of eight cockroaches living in the kitchen, and several frozen dead cockroaches in the freezer. I am very disgusted in the sanitation system at the Burger King on Whopper Drive, in Dearborn,Mi. As if cockroaches weren't enough, I am dissapointed to say that the fries were cold and made three hours before, the "beef" in the whopper was still frozen and it was a mildly unpleasent sight. I advise all people in the Detroit area to skip Burger King and instead go to the cool 50's themed McDonald's right down the road.

Chef Joins Braingle Times 2 WTB Game!
I joined the Braingle Times because I have always wanted to be either a chef or a journalist, with this job I can fufil my career in journalism and be a food critic, what more can I want? The correct answer to that is NOTHING!
Yours Deliciously,

Chef Forgets the Second Part to the Pysch Question!
I, Chef Poobie, feel terribly stupid because I forgot to finish the Pysch Question, so, here it is.
Yes, working here at the Braingle Times has lived up to expectations, and I am very happy to be working here. It is a positive work place for me.(except Winner and Xpurrt annoy me terribly with their bad grammar and spelling).
Yours Tastefully,
Chef Poobie

Uh, ChefPoobie... I don't think Winner has bad spelling/grammar. As for McDonald's... I could get into a whole argument on that, but I'll keep silent. Attorney? HR calls.

Psyched!
Despite my early termination last game, I decided to seek a second term of emplyment with the Braingle Times. 4demo is a fair mod and one of the best.
So far the game has lived up to my lowest expectations. My higher expectations are expected to be meet as the game progresses.

Gone Fishing
With the unsurprising lack of evidence in the first round, I have decided upon a fish vote. The lucky recipient of my fishing is chocolatecake. He was chosen merely because I like the name.

To the best of my knowledge, tedger does not have a lawyer. Nothing to worry about, of course - Gideon v. Wainwright (or something like that) allows a government lawyer for everyone... I nominate Matt, since he's in PR...

No, Matt can be the judge since I'm pretty sure he's impartial. I'll be the defense counsel. The court case will begin next round whenever Matt says to start.
About the spreadsheet... it's on another computer, but I'll get it posted asap.
By the way, to clarify, articles need to be posted before the voting deadline ends, not before the next round starts. You have 18 minutes left.

Oh c'mon, we all know Winner is guilty!
*sigh* No, Winner. You're the prosecutor and you're representing me. I'm the defense counsel and I'm representing tedger. I don't think there's a law that doesn't allow me to do that.

Oh... Uh, maybe I could pull off a multiple-personality disorder? Wait... then a court would have to declare me legally insane, in which case I can't be an attorney at all. How about you be the defense counsel and I represent myself? Is that legally allowed?

Um, yeah, about that... I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose this, but you did (forget, that is). On the bright side, there's still a good possibility you won't be fired.

Okay, we're going to attempt to have a democratic vote to decide what to call Lemmings. Your choices are as follows:
Plagiarists
Scabs
Slackers
Mislead Worker
You must vote before Round 2 voting ends. Just post your reply, not necessarily in article form (unless you're an extreme overachiever). No new suggestions, please. One vote per person (Black-Holians may not vote - sorry, Winner), no changing your vote after I've recorded it (you'll see my tally)... and you ARE allowed to abstain (just say "No preference") but you may NOT vote for more than one option. Really, it's not that hard.
Thank you to LD and PR for the suggestions.

Well, personally, I like Scabs better, but that doesn't really fit the definition. I suggested Plagiarists because that gives the Editor a good reason to fire them. Same goes with Slackers. And why can Matt vote but not me?
