Scioly Assassination 130: Spooky Szn

[linzhiyan]

Your nick has a number in it. Usually, vigenere ciphers are standard alphabet only, but if it included 0-9 there would probably be a few numbers in it.

Also, I've already protected you (I think) so it doesn't really matter, right???

Right., I think... I was just wondering.

Lol, ok.

[PM2017]

Wow, you guys are so passive-aggressive to each other. Y'all need to chill a little. lol

[Jacobi]

I'm sorry for the delay and confusion. Kate! was correctly protected with the first clue.

Protected by whom?

My protect advice would be:

1. UTF - from ellipses conversation
2. T2D - from ellipses conversation
3. yxu08 - from quote above, Game 129
4. Someone who is active on MIT forums: viewtopic.php?f=294&t=12098?
5. Name - from Game 128

Would I be correct that Tails now has an accuse?

I guess I'll protect Things2do because of the ellipses conversation.

I also have 9 letters in my username. Would it be possible to have 2 different keys, each with a different answer, and have 1 lead to each of us? I haven't studied for Code since I don't have it...

The chance of that is slim. Usually, two different plaintexts won't lead to the same ciphertext unless they are extremely related.

My target has escaped my grasp.
He was my second but not my last.
I shall offer you another clue,
Or maybe not, cause I'm just that cruel.

Here is a poem to make your day.
A proper noun not thought that way.
He is the worst and I am the best.
I wonder what is a epithet.
The game's just started, it's not about to end.
I hope you can protect without a helping hand!
I'm spying through the tall watchtower.
I'll strike again in 48 hours.

Hooray! One accusation for me!

What are some proper nouns usually used as common nouns? Maybe a user with a noun like that in their username.

Wait... is this the next clue...?
EDIT: Has anyone else noticed that it says "a epithet" instead of "an epithet"? That may be a clue (ID or target) pointing to Things2do as he's explicitly stated that he doesn't use "an".

A proper noun the name of something
He is the worst I am the best could mean he's the best sassy and I'm the worst (#127 LOL)
Synonyms for epithet includes name

Maybe I'm the target?

Plus you often say "a" instead of "an"...

And the common/propernoun thing.

A proper noun: the name of something
He is the worst I am the best could mean he's the best sassy and I'm the worst (#127 LOL)
Synonyms for epithet includes Name

Maybe I'm the target?

And the common/proper noun thing.

I guess I'll protect Name due to the (many) reasons stated above.
Maybe also protect Things2do due to the same reasons except for the first reasonings (named by Name).
EDIT: Fixed Things2do's name.
