I thought we were going to get a chance to try to find her I had a feeling it was you, Dina! Oh well. Congratulations, ladies, I still consider this a win for us, even though, Dina, you betrayed us in the end!

Ah-ooooOOOOOOOoooo! I claim this victory in the name of the She-Wolves. This is a victory of THREE, not one! Howl, ladies!
I had asked Gizzer if it was possible for the three of us to win this together, but with the mechanics of the software, everyone had to go. However, I claim this as a TEAM VICTORY for the SHE-WOLVES.
AHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Unfortunately, since the Boss doesn't really have any real control over the game--the mod decides who gets fired and when, and sets the parameters for what the Boss can and can't say in the memo--I don't think there's any way to make this part race, part Boss hunt in a way that's fair to the Boss. Pretty much the only way I could win was to find Carmen first.

Good job dina. I was a little suspicious of both you and mocha asking me to be in the alliance. I wondered if my past experiences with Giz's ABR would atttract the Boss. I guess it did.
Giz, I still say the ABR is the best format ever for this type of game. But with a few tweaks here and there, I'm sure you'll make this format work as well. Maybe even trying TWG or WTB format, where if you are the first to solve the challenge you have immunity from being shot or fired. At least that way everyone has a fair shot at solving and getting immunity and we still have to work together to find out who the wolves or Boss are. Just a thought.

Well, cinnamon, I felt comfy solving the challenges, but I wanted to be able to keep an eye on you, too, so I thought an alliance would be the way to go. Mainly, though, I thought it would be fun.

I was surprised how many people formed alliances so quickly, with no clue as to the identity of the Boss. I was even more surprised that the Rat didn't try to form an alliance with the Boss.
I can't blame Smeraldina for wanting to be allied with you, cin; it was a great strategic move, and paid off. Smeraldina was the first to solve the last 3 challenges, so she earned her win.
I wonder, though, if there will be so many quick alliances next time.

True, so true, but I wonder if I could have beat her if I wasn't sick. I didn't get to work on them after you gave the hint for the riddle. I spent the majority of the day in bed sleeping, when I wasn't getting sick. Oh well, I won't be so fast to join an alliance next time or I'll be more careful of who I align with. It was fun working with you She-Wolves as always. I look forward to the next challenge.

Well, I really enjoyed working with both of you, but I'm afraid I was far from helpful to either of you! You two really showed me up in there! But, I really enjoyed working with both of you and learning!!! Thanks for not leaving me behind! (I suppose it was to my advantage to own the TB, you couldn't kick me out )

Good point mocha, but I wouldn't have kicked you out. But that sneaky dina, I tell you, you really have to keep a close eye on her.

No kidding! She's now my #1 suspect in every game, I think!
Giz, I hope you don't mind if I advertise a game, if you do, feel free to edit it out:
Hey, anyone who likes different games, I'm co-modding a fun X-men game that is still in sign ups in the Werewolf TB. If you are interested, PM bpkeler to get added to the TB, and sign up! We are hoping to start Thursday! Each person is assigned a role and you get a unique power that is used in the game.

So what else is new?
FWIW, I really wasn't trying to screw anyone over. To me, the final firing is a technicality. This really was a three-way win.

Maybe, maybe not. So who knows? We'll have to wait for the next go-round to see.

Thank you for sharing the glory, Dina. I really do feel the love.

Good job Dina!
I had two alliances, basically...one with Menz, who did a fantastic job on the puzzles. I was about a dollar short on most of them. Came close a couple times, but he beat me to them. I was even making comments to Gizzer as I turned them in that he solved another one, etc. I did solve the picture on my own...I have some credit there!
Then I had an alliance with Mer4, but wasn't getting a lot of communication from her. In the end, I had a short alliance with TanCW, but I was hoping he would give me more help as I thought he was ahead of me.
It was fun...but teasers and puzzles are not an area I have ever done that good at. Give me a code to crack!

This has probably got to be one of the best games i've ever played.
Please make another!

Wow, this was pretty fun.I'd love to play in another version of this game. It micht be better if I wasn't doing track, that's why I couldn't spend as much time and brain cells working on the puzzles as I wanted to. I have to admit, some of the puzzles were quite challenging, but I'd love another game!
Dear God, That which I am about to do is really stupid. I hope I come out of this alive. Thanks God. Peace Out. (Stage Crew Prayer)

If you haven't already accepted your TB invites, join us in the Map Room! I'll post updates on new games there, plus there's a Fast Forward challenge to solve!
I ploded my own way along to the ultimate end getting and giving some help in equal measure. I guess I was in an alliance with the non-alliance people. I tried quite a bit on my own before mooching help. The She-wolves even threw me an occaisonal bone! Thanks ladies and congratulations! Played smartly by the Boss because you definitely built a great team to finish first.
It was a lot of fun and I had some very creative wrong answers along the way. I shamefully had to get peridot almost handed to me by Giz and most of the world's supply comes from right here in Arizona. The aglet riddle was also a significant bump (mountain!) in the road for me. You have no idea how many bird names I wrestled with!
Nice game Giz. Thanks for the invite and work to give us a truly original WTB game.

Its okay Wolverine...I changed my signature because of this game. I will probably change it again soon, but
'A person could go crazy figuring out clues to puzzles! ' was how I felt early in this game. I had a stack of paperwork on my desk...that stack is still sort of there sadly. I had an important bid I needed to have completed by today - the contractor will get it tomorrow.
I think the Peridot was the clincher for me - what a dumb dumb I was for not believing my wife. Super clear clue if you could keep your head out of your *** oh yeah, this is a family site!
Great game Gizzer - really. I shall think about how dumb I am for years to come.
So, do you plan on giving out the bonus quiz answer or leaving that for the future. I think I got 2 of the 3 clues, but could not get the grim one - figured it might have been an anagram.

RGW4, I think if you all work together, as you are doing in the Map Room, someone will get the answer to the FF.
