Re: Scioly Assassination 77: Coup d'état
For 2, I think it's referring to that old TV show Catscratch. It had a Scottish cat.
EDIT: The mother of the cats on that show is named Audrey. So....I protect Aubrey.

My thoughts for each clue:Assassinator wrote:All of the officers are in. The government officer is amerikestrel, space scientist, paleonaps, quadratic, AlphaTauri, fmtiger, RandomPerson, mingtian, zyzzyva98, and EpicFailOlympian.
With that comes your first Clue Burst:
1. wyk2SEcq_jF- just a little different. The underscore and capitalization stay.
2. You are a cat. You are not Scottish, and neither was our mother!
3. My victim is worshipped. I could sell their body parts for lots of money. After all, they ARE money…
4. He may be the most revered filmmaker of all time. And when you think about it, no one has a name like him. This will point you in the right direction.
5. My last victim is like the man who made the “anatomical” {If you get my drift} movie monster. Or maybe it’s best to compare him to the deadliest warrior. They are the same, anyway. Just use your kindergarten-taught linguistic skills.
You have one week.
1. I don't have much of an idea about this clue.
2. I agree with paleonaps on this one, and I can't think of anything else that would fit.
3. I believe that this refers to currency, and the currencies that I am thinking of are ancient currencies that may have people who were worshiped/revered printed on them.
4. This could refer to Steven Spielberg who is a very famous filmmaker, and the only person who has mentioned him before now is paleonaps. However, there are other people with the last name of Spielberg in the movie industry, but they aren't as famous.
5. This could point to Kokonilly based off of what Amerikestrel and Littleboy said, and there is an episode of Deadliest Warrior that deals with pirates (who oftentimes flew a flag marked with a skull and crossbones). My other thought about this solution is that I don't know how it could relate to the last sentence of the clue.
Does anybody have other ideas about the clues?

Number 3 could refer to Kennedy on the dime, going along with quadratic's idea, also could refer to Alexander the Great according to Space Scientist.
