Re: Scioly Assassination 75: The Point of No Return
One thing is that the assassin only needs five incorrect accusations to end the game, and the officers currently have six accusations (2 for sweetcoop, 3 for harryk, and 1 for kjhsscioly) which means that another kill clue isn't really useful for the officers. That means that the officers can just end the game now by accusing or wait for another identity clue (and possibly kill clue). This is basically a risk (Waiting for another identity clue could mean more kill clues, deaths, and less incorrect accusations needed for the assassin to win.) vs. gain (An identity clue could unambiguously reveal who the assassin is.) situation, and it is up to the officers to decide which option to choose (unless the assassin forces an endgame like what was done in the last two games).

Re: Scioly Assassination 75: The Point of No Return
I will not force an endgame as zz and Idaho did; instead, before I reveal my next clue, I will let the officers choose whether they wish to force the endgame in a flurry of accusations or whether they wish to roll the dice and play on. Either way, I may well become the first assassinator to follow Paradox21's example...(excepting zz, who admittedly won by forcing an endgame).
In addition, please don't berate me for not giving you many formal identity clues. I have been steadily dropping unannounced "identity hints" throughout the game. They may be somewhat difficult to find and somewhat abstract, but they are there.

I just decided to compress this list based on who has been accused/ killed.harryk wrote:I've compiled a list of possible sassy suspects. I've only included people that had posted in the previous game, but it still could be someone else. I also eliminated any names that last logged in before the end of the last game

Re: Scioly Assassination 75: The Point of No Return
I'm assuming the underlined word "explosives" in the last clue is a red herring, right?
I have been thinking this over, and I finally realized that every kill/save had an introduction before it, if you get my drift.In addition, please don't berate me for not giving you many formal identity clues.

Re: Scioly Assassination 75: The Point of No Return
As much as I would like to think that the sassy is Winner, I'm starting to think that possibly all the revolver stuff is a red herring. It still might be worth an accusation though.

It looks like the underlines are just there to help convey the assassinator's natural speech patterns.

And I'm insulted you think I'm dumb enough to be using a revolver in the game.
