Yes, I very much agree. This was a fun game. Should I PM my pick now (once I pick :) ) or wait?

Nice job, Fibonacci! Proud to say I suspected you from the start :D You did a good job covering things up though, asking people what they thought about the clues, sharing your own insight, etc. Dang Dragon_fruit35 winning again...

...quite the long haul, this game? 23 pages of stuff. But I suppose that's only in comparison to the recent games.

Here's to breaking Kokonilly's record defeat next time!

Thanks JasperKota. I was very sneaky, wasn't I? ;)

This game was very much inspired by the book The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. I've always been fascinated by the Victorian era, and this particular book showed what life was like in America at that time.

In any case, here are the answers to the clues!

1) dragon_fruit35
Solved
2) azuritemalachite
Solved
3) Fibonacci924 AKA myself.
This was also solved, but I was pretty sure at this point that people would suspect me. Of course I know that I am Marathi!
4) This was an ID clue and a kill clue, but I'll separate the ID clues.
Person
Solved. This also led to me, because the piece "Clocks and Clouds" (by Ligeti) was referenced in a conversation I had on chat with Person. By the way, I was talking about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4DBD8CFC18
ID #1} This ID clue was in two parts: "but you would probably think about somebody else," and "I can neither confirm nor deny."
"but you would probably think about somebody else" was derived from the Matchbox Twenty lyric " 'Cause everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else" from the song Back 2 Good. It's on my profile that I am a fan of Matchbox Twenty. Also, "I can neither confirm nor deny" is a quote from the latest Mission Impossible movie, Rogue Nation.
ID # 2} At this point, I started leaving ID clues at every accusation. "I'm just a little impaired" is a lyric from the Matchbox Twenty smash hit Unwell. again, MB20!
5) Jaol
This was the hardest kill clue ever, I know :lol:. It all hitched on the one line, "I myself am uproar." Am uproar is an anagram for the word paramour, a synonym for cavalier. And Jaol has been very enthusiastic of the Cleveland Cavaliers victory in the NBA finals.
ID #3} An eagle is the house symbol for Ravenclaw, which I am in.
6) PandaWeasley
This was solved later, but if you can find it, I put an AVPM reference in the clue.
ID #4} The phrase "Your turn player" is found at the end of every episode of Carmen Sandiego. I've mentioned on YDRC that I was going as her on Halloween
7) dragon_fruit35
This was solved, but I can now see why they won.

This was really hard for me because I kept making easy kill clues and difficult ID clues.
Thanks to everyone who participated. You made being Sassy very enjoyable.

You were a good sassy, Fib. Thanks for letting me be an officer. Also, good going, dragon fruit.

What was the actual anagram for "am uproar"? You said. that anagram was uproar, which doesn't make very much sense... :?
