I accuse Pacificgoldenplover, because the sassy bolded heart in their last post (Pacificgoldenplover -> love -> heart), they said "heart of gold" (Pacificgoldenplover), Pacificgoldenplover did Rocks and Minerals (jade pin), and they did Forestry (loose connection to the Japanese garden mentioned in a clue).

Well, officers I have a heart of gold, and I will remain anonymous.
Please don't try to find me. Your turn, player
Also, some of these words remind me of Twenty One Pilots lyrics, just saying.

I feel like the sassy is either trying to frame Jasper or, you know, it is her, but the writing style is quite different. I'm just not sure who else it could be.

EDIT: The Assassinator is most likely Jasper or Fib only because I said on chat that the sassy never changed the PW. I thought I sent a PM telling her to change it but I just looked and I didn't. So how else could the sassy know to change the password (I just tried it and it's not the same anymore)? I would refrain from accusing for now because it just doesn't feel right, not to mention Jasper made a post noting the similarities between herself and the ID clues.

There is no way the sassy is pgp. I'm pretty familiar with his writing style, and it doesn't even somewhat come close to this sassy's writing. Furthermore, if it was pgp, do you really think we wouldn't have had a bird pun by now?

Changing writing styles is pretty common...why would you want someone to be able to guess through how you write your clues?

Yeah, but certain qualities are extremely hard to mask when writing, one of which is grammar usage and proofreading tendencies (more proofreading=less mistakes). The grammar this sassy utilizes is a bit odd in some areas (no offense sassy) and doesn't really sound like the polished and throughly checked way pgp types. Additionally, this sassy seems to be on a lot--they've always responded to me really fast for someone on scioly.org, which I happen to know pgp does not have time for. And even if he did have that much time, I highly doubt that he would spend it on the assassination forum. Furthermore, the "evidence" that Texas presented earlier doesn't really link to pgp being the sassy--it's a bit of a stretch and could easily be applied to a number of users on scioly.org. Pacificgoldenplover is also someone that fluffy would most likely not choose, seeing as that fluffy is relatively new to the forums.


And as numerous users have stated before me (dragonfruit for one) pgp is a guy, and the evidence we've gathered so far seems to indicate that the sassy is a girl.

Proofreading tendencies are the easiest thing to turn off. You just intentionally write bad sentences.

That said, it's a lot easier for someone like me, who is literally a professional proofreader this summer, to implode their grammar than it is for someone who writes poorly to start writing well.

TL;DR: If the assasstornado has good writing skills there's no way in pigeon it's robotman
