SciOly Assassination 106: Curtain Call

[JasperKota]

Nice job, Panda! Although the clues were either a bit too simple or a bit too complicated, I had a fun time participating and I think you did well as a Sassy. Hope to see you guys in the next game

[P2P]

we have to get a new game started quick this is pretty fun

Congratulations dragon_fruit35! :D
I never thought the game would last this long. In fact I never actually planned on it reaching intermission, I was sure yall (thank Merlin I can use yall again) would guess it was me before then. I really hope you guys enjoyed participating in this round. Please let me know what you thought of it, I love feedback.

A note on the title and theme: I wanted the theme to be somehow connected to me and a clue. I was originally was going to do Harry Potter but I felt that that would have been way to obvious so I chose to do one of my other loves instead- theatre. I have posted on the forums about theatre several times and have talked about it on chat. This is what I meant when I said that there were small hints about my identity before the ID clue. I also tried to put little hints in my posts, but those were less obvious.

Things I have learned from running this game:
1. I am really really bad at creating kill clues.
2. My clues are either really easy or really hard. There is no in between.
3. Playing a game as two people is really hard (I once accidentally posted a clue on this account).
4. I am even more of a nerd than I thought I was (seriously. I was analyzing every move to see if anyone suspected me).

Like I said earlier, you did a good job. The hardest part of the assasstornado games is keeping them fun and interesting enough for people to stick around. You managed that well enough.

Actually, I lied. The hardest part is coming up with good clues (although the two go hand in hand). I thought you did a really good job in this regard. Some of them were a bit hard, which is understandable for your first time out, but you had a few that were just right. My advice in general to assasstornados is to err on the side of simplicity when it comes to clues -- of course it's obvious to you, you made the clue!

The assasstornado's job isn't necessarily to win; it's to be a good host and make the game fun. And you did that well.

And by the way, the Sassy for 105 was a mod/admin. Not me, though.

Wait, was that me? I literally do not remember.

Here is a breakdown of all the clues:
1. Verdigris
Solved later on.
Quick note about this one: Before the creation of this game Verdigris was the only person on the forums to mention Alexander Hamilton in a post.
2. Samlan
Solved.
3. dragon_fruit35
Solved.
4. Sensei_Sushi
You all were so close on this one. The key was looking at the occupation listed on the target's profile which was indicated by "workplace death". Sensei_Sushi's occupation is listed as "Krusty Krab" making them the target.
5. Eggo
Solved later on.
6. Coprolite_dipstick
Solved later on.
7. pikachu4919
Solved.
8. UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F
Solved.
9. PacificGoldenPlover
This was by far the hardest and most complicated clue. Looking back on it I'm not sure why I thought it was a good idea.
The scientific name of the Pacific Golden Plover is Pluvialis fulva. I broke this into three parts, pluvial, is, and fulva. Each part of the picture represented one of these words. According to dictionary.com pluvial means "of or relating to rain, especially much rain; rainy". Therefore I chose a rainy image as the background of the picture. 'Is' was easier. I just put the word is in the corner. The color, however, was important. There is a wide variety of colors that can fit under the term "tawny". I just chose the color that seemed most common. Why tawny you ask? Well in Latin, Italian, and Portugese the word fulva means tawny. The image of the tawny owl was also supposed to indicate the word tawny and then fulva. When all three parts of the picture are put together they spell out who the target was.
10. InfiniCuber
This was another hard one. InfiniCuber has stated previously that they are a fan of 21 Pilots. The dates listed in the clue are the band members birthdays.
11. syo_astro
You guys were able to figure out the meanings of Dr. Gerard J. Putz and Galileo Galilei. Putz started Science Olympiad, or SO. Galileo was an important astronomer. Put those together you get so astro(nomy) or syo_astro.
12. CTMSRoadScholarKING
The Road Scholar part of this clue was figured out. The key to which Road Scholar related member it was was hinted in the wording. The clue said "teh next target". The 'teh' was hinting at Teh Ento Cult which CTMSRoadScholarKING is a member of as listed in their signature.
13. JasperKota
Solved, incorrect protect format.

And last, but not least, the ID clue.
The clue was made from the two following images:


Both were cropped some (mainly the second). The first is obviously the whomping willow. This was there to indicate Harry Potter in case no one knew what the second image was but was somehow able to tell that this is the whomping willow.
The second image is less commonly known. It's a drawing by Draco Malfoy from A Very Potter Musical (or perhaps the sequal, but I'm fairly certain it's AVPM). This picture is most obviously an indicator of Harry Potter which you all know I love. I chose this particular image, however, because it's set on Mars with Rumbleroar ("He's a lion. Who can talk."). I often jokingly respond to questions about my location on chat with answers connected to Mars and Pigfarts. This detail was intended to distinguish me from all of the other Harry Potter fans. When I distorted the image I purposely tried to make Rumbleroar identifiable. You can see his hat, book, and the speech bubble although all are distorted. The next ID clue was going to be a close up of a small section of this picture.

[JasperKota]

Dang! I'm a bit miffed I wasn't able to get clue number 10 and the last one; I love twenty one pilots and of course... Pigfarts is only the greatest wizarding school in the galaxy *rolls on the floor fabulously*

And by the way, the Sassy for 105 was a mod/admin. Not me, though.

Wait, was that me? I literally do not remember.

It's possible. I know it wasn't me, and it definitely wasn't robot (the grammar is too good). Probably either you or iwonder.

[Jaol]

Sassy hurry up!

[zyzzyva980]

it definitely wasn't robot (the grammar is too good).

Man, if robotman ever learns how to use the English language well, he could be a killer assassinator.

I think it was actually you, Z -- not me, EAST, or robot, and iwonder hasn't been as involved in the sassy games as you, IIRC.

I think you're right. That looks like something I would write. And it was April Fools' Day as well, which is telling.
