Re: Scioly Assassination 50: Scylla's Sceptre
I don't think either would be the victim. I saw frogzorz's sig but they had only four posts, so they wouldn't be a legitimate target.

Re: Scioly Assassination 50: Scylla's Sceptre
Technically, any registered user can be targeted, even if they only have four posts. But I don't think that there is enough evidence for frogzorz to be the victim anyway.zyzzyva98 wrote:I don't think either would be the victim.

Re: Scioly Assassination 50: Scylla's Sceptre
Frogzorz's signature just seems like a mere coincidence. After all, the 'In Soviet Russia, object verbs you' meme is about Russia.

Re: Scioly Assassination 50: Scylla's Sceptre
Idea: If we need to use the tranlation to solve the clue, then we should try tranlating the results back into Russian to see which one we should use. I don't have time right now, though.

Короли будут сидеть на престолах инкрустированы в золотые
В инкрустированные золотом, они умрут попадания enernity,
Гнев начинается и причины падения,
Ненависть концов, смерть будет снимать никогда не показывать снова
Tclme_elmo's translation:
Короли будет сидеть на троне в инкрустированных золотом
инкрустированные золотом, они умрут падение enernity,
гнев начинается и причины падения,
ненависть ко всему, смерть не будет никогда не показывать снова
My translation:
Короли будет сидеть на троне в инкрустированных золотом
В инкрустированные золотом, они умрут падение enernity,
Гнев начинается, и причины падения,
Ненависть ко всем, смерти никогда не будет стрелять снова показать
AlphaTauri's translation:
Короли будут сидеть на престолах инкрустированы в золотые
В инкрустированные золотом, они умрут показов enernity
Гнев начинается и причины падения,
Ненависть концов, смерть будет удалить никогда не показывать снова
It looks like AlphaTauri's is the closest, but still not exact. But that's to be expected using internet translators.

Re: Scioly Assassination 50: Scylla's Sceptre
Find the lines that aren't right in AlphaTauri's and mess around with them a bit (convert into actual proper grammar pl0x? I hope that would work...)zyzzyva98 wrote:Короли будут сидеть на престолах инкрустированы в золотые

Messing around with the differences in Google Translate, I got:AlphaTauri wrote:Kings will sit on thrones are inlaid in gold
In inlaid by gold, they will die hits enernity [eternity?],
The anger begins also the reasons of falling,
Hatred of the ends, death will remove never to show again
Kings will sit on thrones are inlaid in gold
In inlaid by gold, they will die hit enernity [eternity?],
The anger begins and the reasons of falling,
Hatred of the ends, death will shoot never to show again
At which point I ended up with this:
Kings will sit on thrones are inlaid in gold
In inlaid by gold, they will die hit enernity [eternity?],
The anger begins and the reasons of falling,
Hatred of the ends, death will shoot never to show again
Короли будут сидеть на престолах инкрустированы в золотые
В инкрустированные золотом, они умрут Hit enernity,
Гнев начинается, и причины падения,
Ненависть концов, смерть будет стрелять никогда не показывать снова...
With one untranslated word (hit?) and стрелять instead of снимат...
Both mean shoot...
BTW: Assassinator, if you end up killing me, I'm a guy. Don't use "her" in your account like robodude did last game for amerikestrel...

Re: Scioly Assassination 50: Scylla's Sceptre
I have a hunch that Croman72, Random Person 52, or cypressfalls Robert is the target, due to the race of man in the opening clue and those three names in some way refer to a human directly in the username (as opposed to the rest of the officers and informants.

That wasn't a kill clue, that was just an introduction.

Re: Scioly Assassination 50: Scylla's Sceptre
or perhaps French_Toast then, since French toast is cooked Golden brown, and the riddle centers arounds kings, thrones, and gold.

Maybe...
On a side note, I highly doubt that it is referring to literature...
a. Google search of English yields NOTHING
b. Google Russia search of Russia yields ONE link...THIS ONE
And there doesn't seem to be much hidden meaning, so possibly French Toast...
Or we could try finding the exact wording and... Wait, how do we even do that?
