SciOly Assassination 122: The Most Magical Place On Earth (Not)

[yxu08]

Does anyone here list the piano as one of their interests?

Ummm, I might've mentioned that on the IRC a while back. Also, as one of my guesses for the officer clue, I guessed Frozen...

Since we have nobody better to protect now, I think allopathie could use his protect on linzhiyan for now to avoid wasting protects. He could change his protect later on when we have a better lead.

True, mentions of Frozen and piano are useful to know, but those are mostly in private (on IRC, in PM for the officer clue), so that won't be as likely.

I do have other ideas I didn't say, like to protect Cedavis based on this link I mentioned (it does mention Cedavis as Belle, I recall Cedavis also has mentioned liking Disney). But this is a very indirect relation. There is something obvious I'm missing, maybe a propic with Frozen in it, something to do with the times, or flipping the meaning of the words somehow (like "sad after ending"). Haven't found anything from these ideas, though...

For the time being I protect Cheesy Pie because he mentioned "a 20 foot Olaf snowman that didn't melt until April or May," and you could possibly interpret "fun, until time" as fun until the snow melts.

(A technicality but the first time "time" appears in the lyrics of any of the songs, though, is in The Second Star To The Right.)

[yxu08]

After looking up all the songs in the soundtrack, the following songs contain the word "time" at least once:

The Second Star To The Right (Peter Pan) - which is at 0:10 in the soundtrack
For The First Time In Forever - (Frozen) - 10:42
I See The Light - (Tangled) - 16:54
If I Never Knew You - 27:05
I'll Make A Man Out Of You - 52:51
Tale As Old As Time (Beauty & The Beast) - 57:53

And the following song mentions, although not "fun", but "funny" several times:
Belle (Beauty And The Beast) - 7:10

I don't think it's Cheesy Pie, because they have not been active ever since Mon. Nov 13, 2017 9:22 pm (UTC).

EDIT:

"For the first time in" -> this post about t-shirts -> bernard (which makes sense with the beast reference too)

Because of this, I think bernard is also worth a protect if there are any left.

Bernard has already been protected:

Well, I protect Bernard because of syo's reasoning.

There's no requirement that the user needs to be recently active, it's just been a trend in recent games.

Fashionably early much?

“So are we going on this ride?” asked kate! as she pointed to Splash Mountain.
pb5754[] shrugged.
“What about you, UTF?” kate! continued.
“Sure, why not,” UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F replied.
Later…
“...and enjoy the ride!” the announcer cheerfully said.
Their logged zoomed down the track...maybe too fast.
Suddenly… UTF lost grip of his cheese hat that he got from Nationals and it fell into the water below. Unfortunately, UTF was sitting on the outside and instinctively leaned over to reach for his hat. He fell over the log and fell straight into the shallow water (with his cheese hat). UTF has died.

Land Scout 2 (PM2017): “Hey, Tailsfan! Did you see that spam email last night?”
Land Scout 3 (linzhiyan): “OH YEAH, I saw that. I didn’t get what it meant…”
Land Scout 1 (Tailsfan101): “I didn’t see it. What did it say?”
Land Scout 2 (PM2017): “This…”
PM2017 shows Tailsfan the email:

jqbaqjylu, sesao, secfqiiyedqju.

48 hours.

With a shift of 16 jqbaqjylu, sesao, secfqiiyedqju decodes to talkative, cocky, compassionate.
This has been mentioned by TheChiScientist in #121, talking about the (fake) profile of the sassy. Therefore, I protect TheChiScientist based on this reasoning. Someone should also protect John.

Also, January 7th seems important.

Also, January 7th seems important.

Could be a join date. How do you look people up by join date, again?
Also:

The Mun River's main tributary is the Chi River, which joins it in the Kanthararom District of Sisaket Province

So TheChiScientist is definitely the target. Working on ID clues would be a good next step, which January 7th might be.
