Scioly Assassination 79: Elementary My Dear Watson

[foreverphysics]

I protect Luo because the first letter of the italicized words are PICH.

PICH stands for the Pennsylvania institute for Community Health, and Luo was recently in Pennsylvania.

Wouldn't... Alpha be a better protect, then?

[Assassinator]

Have you become a drunkard Holmes? Or have you just fallen back into your habit of snorting snuff because you are having difficulties? Not that it matters, as neither would enlighten, but both incapacitate, your mind. And now you have only protected one.

This leaves you with only one remaining officer. And hopefully the present I left on your doorstep will give you reason to work harder. I know how much you liked the cap that foreverphysics once wore. Of course it is not of any use to her now that her head is no longer attached to her body.

Cloudy Water

I can now see how the concept of 'turns' is helpful. "Luo" sounds like a corruption of "H2O", but with a "loo", or a bathroom in British slang, rather than "H2", if that make sense.

In short, Luo, protect yourself and the game is essentially a draw.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I still don't see an identity clue. If this assassinator thinks he or she is being clever by including hidden identity hints, they need to be significantly more obvious.

Luo protect yourself. The answer to the clue: Cloudy water=H2O

H2O
LuO
MVSO

The cheese stands alone.

Except here it is probably that you lose the game.

Also, I lost the game.

[Luo]

Sorry, foreverphysics, for not protecting you; I was kicked off the internet right about the time we agreed to protect each other. I should have been more proactive. Once again, I'm sorry.

Anyway, I now protect myself for the reasons stated by all the previous posters. I'll hold out on my accusations for a little while longer. An identity clue might help.

EDIT: Let's have a clarification of the protocol for the endgame. If I continue to protect myself, there's no way for the sassy to win. What happens now?

[harryk]

You're forgetting that this sassy knows no bounds and kills even if the clue was solved and the person protected

[TheGenius]

Either he will keep targeting Luo until we can't solve the clue and have an "unreasonable" protect, or he will kill everyone else on the forums including himself.
