We need start looking more intently at the clues for any hint of an ID clue.

Edit: I'm kind of curious about how the dragonfruit hint came to fruition (pardon the pun). Think about it from Sassy's perspective: s/he would need to first search up what genera dragonfruits belong in (I'm guessing Hylocereus isn't really common knowledge). And "our lychees" seems like the only anagram of Hylocereus. What I'm saying is that the whole affair is highly suspicious and also highly specific. And the fact that someone got it right away makes me more than a little suspicious. I expected conversations about tropical fruits for ages...
Uh, are you suspicious of me? Or alex?
More with Alex. It would be a dangerous gamble indeed for a Sassy to threaten death to him/herself and expect someone to pick up on the clue, even if s/he made it as obvious as possible (in his/her opinion). I know I wouldn't, unless I really had to throw off the scent.

Edit: Hylocereus is the only true anagram of "our lychees" I can find.

Yeah, I thought it was a little suspicious. While reading the clue I realized it was an anagram, but I doubt Hylocereus shows up in normal solvers. Plus you'd have to find the bit about dragon fruits being part of the genus.


Also, I think "imagination" might be significant as well.

Yep, you guys got me. I've never been on IRC, have never been an officer in this game before, and - yes - I'm the sassy.

*sarcasm* :D

No, it's not me. (Also I don't think the sassy can be an officer. That would be cheap.) But I'm flattered that you think it might be.

For reference, I got the Hylocereus clue so quickly because I saw that "our lychees" was emphasized (and clearly used in a weird way). I thought it might be a cryptogram or anagram, so I put it in an anagram solver and Hylocereus was the ONLY result. Then I went to the Hylocereus Wikipedia page and saw the word dragonfruit.

Also, I think maxxxx is 1000000% right about markuswso17. Someone protect him; I don't want any more accusations.

On that same note, I'd be happy to accuse someone, but I don't know who.

Officer Sassys are fun. Also, did anyone protect markus yet?

That's a fair defense - I had been thinking along the same lines, since you only started Sassy last game, like me. I was just curious at how you got it so fast :)

Very well, I protect markuswso17, based on maxxxxx's logic. If someone else wants to protect Pika, that's also fine.

We don't have any accusations to levy yet, but I think we should start working on those number clues that gave us such blistering headaches - while they're not ID clues, they might at least help us figure out how Sassy thinks and works. And Sassy did tell us to look at his/her previous clues more carefully, and we diligently avoided the code, because none of us understood it.

On the Friday the 13th night, markuswso17 was up late in FHS testing his electric vehicle the night before the most important competition of his life. He dozed off while testing, and I saw my opportunity to strike. I carefully maneuvered his electric vehicle out of his grip, tied a dagger on the front, and I was about to let it rip across the floor straight towards his head when I heard footsteps down the hall. I couldn't afford to be caught, so I ripped the dagger off and ran out of sight as quietly as I could.

You have correctly protected markuswso17. That's another accusation for you, whythelongface.

The location part of it makes me think it's vaguely related to latitude and longitude.

I have no idea what the code here is, but I will continue to work at it.

Fun fact: Did you know PGP is also an encryption tool? I didn't.
