I also apologize for the late posting of some clues. Family emergencies were a bit more pressing than the sassy games.

Shout out to fib for "helping" the officers and civillians. COUGH I'll pretend you didn't just give the whole thing away COUGH

Also, can I have some feedback? I think I screwed up majorly on some clues, but it turned out okayish, I think?
hehe...
GREAT GAME GOOD FRIEND ENTOES! (do I choose the next sassy now what)

Grrr I should've suspected earlier but a lot of times Ento was like "Hmmm this clue... it could be *insert name here*"
Welp good game. This game would've probably been dragged out a bit more without Fib :lol:

But yeah you did a great job! I feel like this round had a lot more storytelling to it compared to the more recent assassinations. (another reason why I should've guessed you, you've read all the assassination threads sigh)

Game's over, so I'm posting now. Entomology, I was on your side before you killed me. Maybe next time you shouldn't get on the bad side of the people who know your identity

Good game Ento! For feedback on the clues, some were a bit too easy, while others were (I thought) too ambiguous. Some were just right though. :) I really did like how you changed up the storytelling style of the Sassy to give the users personalities. Very amusing. Keep it up!

Btw, Nerdy, PM me your pick for sassy.

CLUE EXPLANATIONS:
Clue #1
Solved.
Clue #2
Solved.
Clue #3
Solved.
Clue #4
The mars odyssey left for space on April 7th, the same day that Fluffy joined. This date was stressed on many sources about the Mars Odyssey, in addition to being one of the firsts things one sees when googling it up. I included the bit about Person "failing to see the scenario unraveling wright before his very eyes” to nudge the reader against focusing on the booths.
Clue #5
Solved.
Clue #6
Solved.
Clue #7
Solved.
Clue #8
Solved.
Clue #9
Fib’s signature has a portion that reads: Always remember: P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. This is a quote from the fish Dory, who was voiced by Ellen Degeneres. The use of the word “fishy” further should further nudge the reader to this conclusion.
Clue #10:
Solved.
Clue #11
The clue targeted quadratic, as if you solved the clue correctly, you should have gotten ax^2+bx+c=0, which is the quadratic equation. a is multiplied by t + 4 = x , and the little flying 2 results in ax to the power of 2. Bee, or b, times z-2, which is x, adds to c with the result of zero, or nothing.
Clue #12
Solved.
Clue #13
Solved.
Clue #14.
The photo, as John Richardsim identified correctly, is melaleuca. The giant NO floating in the middle of the photo? Stick it in the somewhat middle of melaleuca and boom: Melanoleauca.
Melanoleuca can be one of 2 things:
A poorly known genus of mushrooms
The genus of the giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca.
I told you to go with the second option, or the second choice after you googled melanoleauca. Which was the panda.
It should have been pretty clear from here that Panda Weasley was the target. Furthermore, It may have been a bit confusing at first, but I told you that this clue was nothing new.Something of this nature has been a clue before: http://scioly.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php? ... a&start=75 (Scroll down a bit, you should see a photo with an owl in a rainy background)
And who just happened to write that clue?
None other than Panda Weasley.
This clue was a bit complex so I do apologize if it was too hard/unreasonable,
Clue #15
Solved.
Clue #16
Solved.

ID CLUES:

-I’m rather surprised that you didn’t catch me in the very beginning, especially when Jasper recommended that everyone read assassination 93 because of the beautifully crafted storytelling style, which I had suggested she read. Having enjoyed this storytelling aspect that so many of the earlier games possessed, I adopted it when I was somehow chosen to be the sassy. I thought for sure she would connect the dots and accuse me, but that didn’t happen.

-In clue #6, I slipped in the small phrase “disregard the penta.” Penta is greek—which were the origin of the team names for the 6 scioly teams from my school. This could be easily found, as my userpage is the first thing in my signature.

-The coffee ID clue, where types of coffee were given-espresso, latte, frappe, macchiato-alluded to the fact that earlier this year, the tentative names for my school’s scioly teams were starbucks items—four of which that are stated above. (You can find this if you search “starbucks” in my posts) Thankfully, the names were changed at the last moment to more suitable team names.

-In clue #11, the phrase “I do not emit light, contrary to my name" is given. I myself worried that this was too easy. The bug in my profile picture is Pyrops candelaria, a fulgorid planthopper, which is also occasionally called a lanternfly. Lanternflies do not emit light, contrary to their name.

-In clue #15, I shared with you a photo of a pink blob otherwise known as kirby. William kirby is often referred to as the father of entomology.
BWhat do they all have the same of?
AThe Lady died with him but was not born until long after, in 1954.
Correction: A + B + [space] + [Two letters, both uppercase]
If the Lady were real, she would not have died 362 years before she was born.
