This has absolutely nothing to do with the cup.

Do not worry, I will be adding a lot of self clues (I have two out at the moment...)
Oh alright then....someone want to check the CTY dates?
Session 1: June 27 - July 16
Session 2: July 18 - August 6

It could just be a family vacation, I guess.

Wow...I'm an idiot lol....it was Brazil that beat a team in the quarters of Asia not Brazil losing in Asia in the quarters

2002 Fifa World Cup Korea/Japan Quarter-Finals: Brazil: 2 England: 1

With that I accuse winneratlife because he obviously supported England in the World Cup thread

You are now down to 2 accusations. I am not winneratlife.

...Don't I wish. That was fast. Congratulations fmtiger. Pm me your choice for the next assassinator!

To explain the last clue, as well as the vague self clue:

The pad, when changing countries names to groups (which I said was half right, as in correct for half the clue, which had to be the pad as some in the text DNQ): ABDEGFBCAG. The bold meant nothing.

In the text, you should have noticed that no rank went beyond 26. So, it was translated with ranks, with 1=A, etc. That became SODOKWJXEX (I believe, I'm translating in my head)

Putting that in gave SNAKERIVER, which pointed to IdahoSciGuy (I stopped using usernames after you pointed out that my first clue had the same number of letters as fmtiger)

To explain the self clue:

The file was named bobv. imageshack will automatically add the v, so it was really bob.

Bob --> Robert --> Robert Green. 'nuff said.

Some feedback on my game would be nice ;)
BWhat do they all have the same of?
AThe Lady died with him but was not born until long after, in 1954.
Correction: A + B + [space] + [Two letters, both uppercase]
If the Lady were real, she would not have died 362 years before she was born.

It was very good! Nice job winneratlife!

My only complaint is that it was soccer based, but that's because I don't care that much for soccer, so that complaint doesn't really count.

That and also the clues were a little vague... You gave us plenty to solve with, but the steps were a little out there. But very well thought through! Nice job! :D

So, now for the big question: WHO'S THE NEXT ASSASSINATOR??? :?

Well, that was fast. I was just talking with winneratlife about what to do when it hits his deadline. Turns out that conversation was unnecessary. Congrats, fmtiger. Also, good round winneratlife. How in the world cup can so many people believe that self clue pointed to Libya?

Ditto
EDIT: Good job winner. I have to agree with robodude though- I hate soccer, and hate that I didn't understand the clues or explainations.
