Scioly Assassination 74: Dead Island

[space scientist]

Since I haven't solved the clue, (I only know that it has to deal with "thehost".) don't know who it targets, and don't want to die, I protect myself.

[fmtiger124]

protects self due to same # of letters in cipher text as in fmtiger

[Kokonilly]

I protect myself because I am the only person who made any headway on the clue and NSITDDK ends in K, like Kokonilly.

Also: Pirates (Jolly Roger avatar) look for keys!

[AlphaTauri]

Unfortunately, I haven't made any headway on this clue (seeing as I only became an officer yesterday) and I would prefer not to be dead, so I protect myself.

[Assassinator]

No more playing nice. From now on, the following rule will take effect:

Any protect made must follow the template "I protect <insert name here> because <insert reason here>." If that reason has no correlation to the clue at hand, it will be considered invalid.

quizbowl was indeed my target. Had you protected 2 minutes later, I would be basking in a kill.

quadratic, consider this a warning. If you spam my game again, I will ban you.

A new clue will be up tomorrow.

[ophiophagus]

And who decides what exactly a 'correlation' is? You? The combination of this type of rule and some of the simple cipher clues lead me to believe this is a first time sassy...

[Assassinator]

I will be the one to decide. Variations of this clue have been enacted in the past. I see no reason why this should cause a problem.

The open officer spot and spamming distracted from the clue.

/accuse Mingtian due to this person really wanting to be sassy.

/accuse Mingtian due to this person really wanting to be sassy.

No, I am not Mingtian.
