I have internet access for a short period, so I'll catch up and post after I'm done.

Your current boss pretty much screams <Run Away!> between the gambling, the debt, and the mistress. Preeeeetty unlikely he puts your needs high on his decision-making list, and being faithful to someone who hasn't earned it doesn't tend to pay off.
As for the other job, I'd say just evaluate if this new prospect is viable. It sounds like it's someone you have some familiarity with, and presumably you have sufficient ability to gauge if this competitor knows what they're doing enough to make it work - you say opening up again, so hopefully the last time didn't end in fleeing the country, bankruptcy, or a conviction in federal court for fraud.
I wouldn't doubt whether <you> will fail - presumably they want you on board for a reason. Now, if you want to have some concern that <he> will fail (as above), then sure, gauging your prospects is a good thing. And perhaps just mull on what your backup plan will be if his re-launch doesn't reach orbit.
Just my random internet opinion. But srsly, I hope it goes well! We'll be here, still ready to lynch you in Day 3. Which by my calculations will probably be sometime in late September.

2) If you're town, I figure you should accept other people's suggestions, especially if a lot of players are finding your traps really unhelpful.
3) I would select Krypsyn. He's made some strange plays, which he has accounted for, but I'm trying to keep an eye on him.
flubbucket: You claim "inexperienced" and yet you also claim "but that's just the way I play" and I just can't make the two work out clearly.
How can you have a "way I play" if this is your first game?? Sorry, I forgot to answer this earlier. I am inexperienced, there is no denying that. Heck, look at my rep. However, because of my personality and the game that I watched, I have certain tendencies, such as taking both sides of an issue, when I play any game and even in RL. That is how I can be inexperienced, and yet also have "the way I play".
bler144: I did think that was interesting, but not inherently contradictory. Like me he could be someone who has played IRL (and perhaps more recently and extensively than I), which could explain why he seems to have fallen into step with others' play styles better than I have. His personality may also be less manic than mine. To tell the truth, I LOVE this game in RL. I can't say about the personality, but that is a possibility ;)
Krypsyn: Nah... You always have to plan for your meta. Sometimes it is amusing to have a multi-game plan set up in advance for switching things up, just to keep people guessing. Next game, I am only going to post in iambic pentameter, just to keep people guessing :)
trentonlf: I will honestly say as soon as JMich voted for Bookwyrm and gave his reasoning to do so a red flag popped up for me. Trentonlf is not the only person who had a red flag pop up after JMich voted for Bookwyrm. First time I read the post, his logic seemed pretty non-existent, but his next post explained (sort of) his reasoning. However, when I saw trentonlf, cristigale, and dedoporno post about JMich's vote, I went back and read it again. His logic really is non-existent, even with his explanation, and that doesn't seem like JMich. (My reading of JMich is drawn from his posts earlier this game, from last game, and from certain comments made about him during both of those games)
I do think this seems very bizarre, and it's a scum-mark in my book, but it's not enough to make me vote for him...yet.
And now I'm going to skip a whole bunch of talking and interesting stuff that people have already commented on. I assure, I have read it all.
bler144: There's also the oddity that, despite being a Mar2014 account, he started the game with 1 rep. I can explain that...actually, no I can't. I think there was a game that I wanted, but I can't remember. Anyway, it was pretty much a dead account until I found out about Forum Mafia.
And that actually brings me back up to current, though there's a lot that I have to go over in my mind.
Because I placed that vote in a hurry, without proper research, I am going to
unvote Bookwyrm
Now, I'm going to try to give my opinion on each of the other players. In another post.

Just installed adaliabooks' user script, and it works like a charm.
