Pre-Game
Almost imediately following the end of #58, Paradox21 told me to be Assassinator again. I revealed my identity at 10:03pm:
**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Aug 26 21:05:48 2010
Aug 26 21:05:48 <Paradox21> Hey, do you think you could pull off a 2nd assassination?
Aug 26 21:05:56 <Paradox21> I don't think anyone would expect me to pick you.
Aug 26 21:05:58 <brobo> Absolutely.
Thats a matter of 2 minutes, for those of you who are slow at math.
I instantly knew this was to be my theme. I was going on vacation for a few days, thus the "waiting for a response" to throw everyone off.
Once the stage was set, the action was on.
For the first post, it was simple. Type it up ahead of time and stay up late, then copy+paste from my iPod.
CLUE 1
Idaho got the first solution (except the "Army" green color). The second solution was really vague. So vague, in fact, that you all completely missed it: the arrow. One of paleonaps' first avatars was of an archer. Simple. The spelling of the word "colour" was just to throw everyone off- it worked.
Yes, I was in school at this time. No, I did not post it- I got Paradox to post it for me, since he was not in school yet.
CLUE 2
This one was a bit tougher. You had to bend the table back in, using the red lines in the middle to help guide you. Once you did that, you got a 4x5 table. Convert the shaded in squares to binary, the binary to base ten, and finally the base ten to numbers gave you "rand". The second solution was simple. If you drew this picture out (using the blue lines as references to size) then you would realize that the black ticks are 2 cm and 5 cm away from the upper left corner. 2 + 5 = 52. RANDomperson52
The insane frustration was designed to pin blame on fmtiger124.
CLUE 3
You got the first solution. The second one required you to get the posts, but not the letters. IdahoSciGuy was the only one NOT listed in that list of posts who has posted in this game. The mirror thing was done at the last second to confuse everyone. It apparently did NOT work.
Also, yes, I did stay up until 2 in the morning, watching Sherlock Holmes. A little ironic, if you ask me.
CLUE 4
The reason this one was late was because, well, I missed the time on day 3 and so I had to wait.
Code: Select all
36°42'1"N 79°11'32"W
41°46'49"N 76° 2'52"W
39°41'3N 72° 7'30"W
69.21.7"N 76°50'38"W
36°32'7"N 73°33'9"W
39°51'50"N 79°41'9"W
Oh boy, this one will take some explaining...
SOLUTION 1:
Take all but the fourth coordinate and mark them on a map. If you draw lines between them (but not in the order that they are posted; you just have to figure out how to draw the lines) you will see that it makes a 5-pointed star. The "devil" thing points to a satanic pentagram, which has an
elongated point. Elongate the point a little, and whadayaknow, the point is directly on FM High School!!
SOLUTION 2:
Average out all the coordinate, and you will get something near FM High School.
The whole thing with hatting paleonaps was a ploy to pin suspicion on gh or someone else who is generally angry. It worked, but not for long.

No, I was not. But thanks for the compliment!
fmtiger124 wrote:3/4 brobo....you must hate my guts right now
Yes. Yes I do.

Yes, you are miscounting. I was assassinator in #49 A Red Herring, #52 Checkmate, #58 A Killing Carol, and now #59 At The Bell's Chime
paleonaps95 wrote:And why did you react so badly to being accused as me?!
I wasn't mad about you being accused. That whole burst of anger was completely fake. I just wanted to pin the blame on other people (*coughghcough*)
As always, feedback is very much appreciated.
Thank you everyone for making this game one of the best! Thank you Paradox for both picking me again AND helping me with posting the clues!
I can't wait to see who's the next assassinator.
I also can't wait to see what happens next time I get picked, although I myself also hope it is not for a few games. I want to play a normal game again- 4 games in 10 rounds
is a bit much, even for someone like me.
Until next time...
Its always sad to see your game die, and the new one start. Now its time for this thread to move into the depths of the Posting Games.
