Scioly Assassination 57: Judgement Day

[zyzzyva980]

Taunting = Fun. Not necessarily nice to people (I get annoyed), but fun when you're the one doing the taunting.

Be nice to us (I say us because I really really really want to be involved in this game see: officer) If the new one starts it during church tomorrow... grr...

Can you explain all the clues please? I'm really curious as to the solutions.

[IdahoSciGuy]

OK, here are the answers to the clues you did not solve.

The loose theme was doomsday. Also, all my clues, except for the first two kill clues, were cipherless. All it took to solve them was a little hard work and some abstract thinking.

First up is clue 3, the same one that paleonaps protected on. You all clued in to the fact that the theme was impact craters. However, some of the points didnt make sense to you guys, as it looked like they pointed to nothing. Thats because the crater at that location was not exposed at the surface. Also, some people got addresses. those were glitches. If you took the first letter of the craters and threw it into an anagram, you get paleo will die, or something like that.

The next clue killed doctor and, in my opinion, is the hardest clue i posted. The dates were indeed durations, the first being the start date of a large hurricane, the second being the end date. The initials were the basin that it was in.

NA=North Atlantic
SA= South Atlantic
AR= Australia Region
SI= South Indian

And such like that.
take the first letter, plug it in the anagram machine, and you get Doctor Will Die, protect him.

The next unsolved clue killed paleo. This one was extremely simple. All you had to do was make a list of the flights that crashed. Take the first letter of the airline, and you get DIE HE WILL. PROTECT PALEO. no anagrams or anything.

The next clue targeted Jocool. The "anonymous" line was supposed to draw attention to the word "name". That should have told you to name the airports on the list instead of the addresses. If you had done that, you would have seen the first letter of each airport made the word FOOTBALL. The bold one should've pointed you to New Orleans Saints. Jocool has "WHO DAT" in his sig.

My final clue was again abstract. The three locations are all in western sahara. the "anonymous" line should have pointed out the word 'OPPOSE". The opposite of west is east. EASTstroudsburg13 was my next target.

now for the self clues. The first was purposely meant to be very vague. Charybdis and opposition should have pointed you to assassination 50, which was the first i posted in, hence the line "first in a line of succession" I've posted at least once in most of them since.

The second was supposed to clue you into the language it was in. A simple search of languages would show that i speak Japanese.

The third clue would have pointed you to interstate 84, once it was completed.

Interesting that all of the clues were roughly the same- somewhat similar to my coordinates clue (though not as complicated). But it was effective- don't fix what ain't broke, eh?

Lessons learned: Spell usernames right.

One more interesting thing- you got caught by the officer who you gave up your spot for. But I can see the strategy you used there.

I've been wanting to see you as an assassinator, Idaho, since you proved yourself as a great clue solver somewhere in the early 50s. (Hence why you've always been one of my suspects) The round did not disappoint. Good job.

[paleonaps]

Yes, good job. I wish I had accused you based on the "Italian" thing instead of Starpug (you mentioned it in #55). This would have been over long ago!

[IdahoSciGuy]

Yes, and if it makes you feel any better, you gave me a heart attack while i read through that post. XD

EDIT: I sent the PM! Now all you have to do is wait!

I have received the Invitation, and the account has been transfered. Please stay patient, as the new school year will slow this game down. To help keep things running smoothly, I will need to do some prep work before the round starts. However, to peak your curiosity, I will give you this teaser: Christmas may be coming a little early this year.
The new Assassination may start later today, it could start tomorrow, or it may not start until next weekend. However, it would still be wise of you to say your final goodbyes and prepare yourselves for death.

[brobo]

Woohoo! Now we get to wait!
</sarcasm>

Oh well, not that I care much... I don't even get to play...

[paleonaps]

Why do I get the feeling it will come up today, when I will be with my cousins from out of town?

I think it's Z.
