Come on, sassy, I've got finals this week and I still could have posted several clues in the time since the last one has been solved, and certainly at least one.

I beg you, for the sake of the game, to either turn yourself in, or at least post some more clues. I understand that you may be busy, but can we try to end this by winter break at the least, whatever the outcome?

Yeah, look, nobody finds this fun. Anyone else want to go back to the old way?

I have to agree, this is an irritating pace, and easy to forget when the game goes so slowly

This game is dead. D-E-A-D. Give yourself up and let someone else play already!

If the assassinator does not post this weekend I believe they will have outstayed their welcome (more than they already have) and a new one will have to be found.

I 100% agree, but how will we decide who the new assassinator is? Also how will we get the password reset? (looks hopefully towards mods/admins)

When I titled this game The Mob Seizes Power, I didn't mean the power to decide when the game is done just because you're loosing and want to move on to an easier assassinator.

May I once again remind everyone, that not everyone is on here 24/7. Checking into scioly and logging in to kill people isn't neccessairly everyone's first choice. You may have been able to pull off 10 clues in this amount of time, but some people have more responsibilities then a 10th grader or a middle schooler.

Starpug, I don't know what you've been reading but we aren't exactly losing. Many of the clues have been fairly easy when we apply ourselves to it. It's not that we want an easier assassinator. We want one that will actually play the game. No offense to the assassinator, but they just haven't been on here as frequently as you should be. That's all.

Look, the game is dead, I'm really the only active alive officer, and everyone seems to be pushing for the game to finish, and that's because we've all gotten bored.

When you accept the role of assassinator you accept the responsibilities that go with it. That includes actually playing the game. It's been one week and absolutely nothing has happened. The last kill clue was given on Friday, it was solved in ten minutes, and nothing has happened since then. Shouldn't something, anything, happen? We're all tired of waiting; the game has taken over one and a half months. The two previous games took five days each. Not because we were bad assassinators; (well, it wasn't exactly Idaho's fault at all, actually) but because we understood the merits of keeping the game up to date. And I think in both of those games everyone had much more fun than this one. Look, win, lose, or draw, the game is always much more fun when the assassinator is active.

I mean no disrespect to your idea, starpug. Perhaps it could have been executed better. But the fact is, this game is dead.
