Hmm yes... low risk... honor of the staff... of course I agree 100% target away

To be fair, we put that in our rules, but we didn't target mods or admins. DSB wanted to target pikachu4919 when we were making clues, but I changed it to CPScienceDude, mainly because I wasn't really interested in targeting her and also because the clue for her was kinda trash.

Hello officers and other citizens. I'm implementing a rule similar to one implemented last game. Should an officer fail to participate in a clue, they will be fired and replaced. This rule will take effect after this clue is over. To be clear, anyone that did not participate in the first clue will not be fired, but should you not participate in any other clues, you will be fired.

I'm kinda curious as to what that original clue was - as a former Assassinator, I could be the judge of whether it was truly trash or not hehe

Hmm, I'm not sure. I feel like JoeyC is correct with his protect.
Eh just in case, I protect CPScienceDude because of the TKAM quote in the sig could refer to the TKAM post by him.

The officers are called to the ship’s bridge over the intercom. Once they arrive, the captain tells them that jaggie34 was killed this morning. The officers then walk to the mess hall to discuss.

Before the next clue, I would like to apologize for the first clue. I had written it a while back when a lot more people were active. The kill will still count towards my 10 to win, but from now on my clues will target more recently active members to make the game fairer.

TheCrazyChemist - We need 2 get back to work.
hmmm - But wait, shouldn’t we contact the family?
TheChiScientist - Yeah, come on hmmm, let’s go.
TheCrazyChemist - I’ll keep working, someone has 2.
amk578 - I’ll go with you, TheCrazyChemist
JoeyC - Yeah me too.

TheCrazyChemist, amk578, and JoeyC walk back 2 TheCrazyChemist’s room work on the task at hand.

When they all reach TheCrazyChemist’s room, they notice a note taped on their door. It reads;

“now now now now now now now now now, your futIle attempts to keep me at bay Will only put yoursElf in Danger. if you can figure out who I am then obviously I’ll have to stop, and that’d Just suck, but if not then Good luck. you see, if you walked Around in my shoes, then you’d know how much Fun this is. by the way, this book i’m reading is really good. it has Morales and stuff as a theme. morales, huh, maybe i need some of those. anyway, good luck!”

TheCrazyChemist read the note and immediately opened up his laptop 2 skype the other 2 officers.

My thoughts on this clue:
-lots of 2's instead of to and too. I protect Things2do because of this
- There are 9 "now"'s in the first sentence of the note, and none of them are capitalized like they should be. 9N?
- The weirdly capitalized letters/ not capitalized but should be are, IWEDJGYAFBIIMMIA. Idk what they mean
- I don't like how I'm one of the main characters in this clue, but that's what I get for being an officer. If we don't come up with anything else, another officer should protect me.

Sig: CPScienceDude again. Although now I think the sigs have some other meaning.
