Welcome to the second Warbears "Who's The Boss?" game!
You can find out more about the concept and rules of the game here. However, I will make a quick addition here: To keep the game as exciting as possible, the identity of each fired employee is a secret, unless they are the boss.
Phases
Action phase: People are fired (see "Boss phase"), the memo the Boss sent out is published together with the Boss' answer to the Office Psychiatrist's question. Following this, the employees vote for who they think the Boss is, the Psychiatrist submits a new question and the Rat hacks the network. If the boss has a majority of the votes or just one regular employee is left, the game ends.
Boss phase: The Boss gets a list of people to fire and selects a variable number of people from this list. They also write a memo for the employees and an answer to the Psychiatrist's question. Once this is done, an action phase begins.
Story
To anyone not working there, BedtimeTech was a rather unassuming company located in what seemed to be an ordinary office building. Of course, this was far from the truth. The company was rumored to be involved in scandals regarding ties to groundhog organisations, illegal weapons trade and various other things that would not look very good in the press. For some reason, that information had managed to stay hidden from the public eye. The large bags of money, mysterious bloodstains and suspicious trash bags had nothing to do with it, of course. Why would anyone think that?
Another day of evil- err, "morally alternative" work had begun, though nobody at the company knew that this day would change the way things worked at the comapny forever. It was about to be hit by something even the most ruthless blood-sucking vulutre feared. Layoffs. While the employees were busy having a coffee break, two security guards were seen heading through the nearest hallway, towards the office of IT chief Globox Simpson. A few minutes later, the security guards went back down the hallway, carrying a rolled up carpet with a suspiciously Globox-shaped object inside.
At that moment, a distorted synthetic sounded voice crackled through the office's intercom system. "This is the CEO. Starting today, we will be laying off employees in order to slim down our organization and increase productivity. The layoffs have not been finalized yet, but I will take your input. In the event that you want me to step down, I will. For now, however, take some time to reflect on who you think is not contributing to our productivity" the voice said. "I look forward to make your decisions. By the way, this message has been recorded in advance. At this moment, I am somewhere among you, monitoring you to evaluate your performance. Please, keep calm and carry on as normal" it continued.
Silence filled the room as suspicious glances were thrown in all directions. The same thoughts were on all minds in the room: Who can be trusted? Who will get fired? Who's... the Boss?
The first action phase has started, and you have until March 11th 23:59 GMT+1 to PM me with your action.
Boss memo
Due to previous incidents, it is stricly forbidden to put staplers in jelly. Anyone caught doing this will be terminated immediately.

Should we vote Jurgen and start a new tradition of him being suspicious in every game we play? _________________

How does the list of people who are able to be fired work? Is it randomly decided?
Also probably post questions the office psychiatrist could use here. |

The rules wrote: |
Lemmings
Whoever receives the most votes is called the Candidate. There may be multiple Candidates in the event of a tie. In case of a tie, the Boss uses their executive privilege to avoid getting fired, letting the other Candidates take the fall. If the Candidate(s) turns out to not be the boss, all people who voted for them are called Lemmings. Since the Boss wants people who can think for themselves, all Lemmings will be placed on the firing list.
The Firing List
The Boss may not fire anyone who isn't on the firing list. Each round, the firing list consists of the following:
1. Lemmings
2. The Rat, in the event that the Rat fails to hack the network a round, or if the boss gets 25% or more of the votes in a round.
3. The Office Psychiatrist in the event that they vote but fail to submit a question and are not already a Lemming.
4. Players who break rules or misbehave otherwise. (Can lead to an automatic firing in severe cases)
Once the list is presented, the Boss will select a variable number (determined by various factors such as number of automatically fired players, if the game has been going too slow or too fast, etc.) of employees to fire from the list. A player who voted for the Boss cannot be put on the firing list.
