Scioly Assassination 134: Cyberstrike

[LittleMissNyan]

Yeah, Lin is correct. It's a caesar cipher of TheChiSci with a key of "a". Now that's over, they said quite bluntly that one of them is participating in the game. Longivitis?

Wait hold on someone explain Caesar cipher to me... I thought it was a number shift, not a letter key? I don't get it, but I guess Chi is a good protect.

I don't think it is Longivitis, because he's rather new? Probably someone else who has experience, I think. JoeyC and linzhiyan were sassies already recently, so suspect LMN and MapMan? Probably a bit early to be working on ID, but that's my worthless two cents lol.

the sassy posted the clue at 1 IN THE FREAKING MORNING EST so it can't be me

They don't necessarily have to be an officer though. The whole informant thing is kinda similar to #120, when TheChiScientist was a "co-conspirator."

The officers may not trust in our informant may not be as concrete as you believe

This makes me think that one of the sassies is not an officer, but is participating.

The sassy said they had an informant in the sassy's inner circle, so that might not even mean that they're participating. Based on what they said, the "informant" might be the only participant on the sassy's side.

I might be misreading you, but if you are saying the informant IS the sassy, I would question that, since they have said "either of the sassies" in the rules, which makes me think that there are two, one being a participant, and one not.

Hmm good point. Someone farther out west? Like in California, it would only be 10:00 pm.

I was thinking that the sassies could have another person on their side, hence their "informant", but what you said makes more sense I suppose. I literally have no idea what's going on, or how to solve any of the clues...

Scratch that, I don't know what I was doing, it's not a confirmed decrypt. Just find people with 9 letter names and protect.

[linzhiyan]

Hmm... is it just me, or did the Sassies change their signature?

[TheMysteriousMapMan]

Hmm... is it just me, or did the Sassies change their signature?

The last change was to the Venom quote from the Princess Bride quote. The Vigeneres are still the same, as far as I know.

I think that TCS and linzhiyan are still the best protects, but I'll, somewhat selfishly, protect myself since I guess I could be referred to as TheMapMan.

[JoeyC]

Wait a sec: I just remembered a homophone is a real thing (one of the words recieived from monoalphabetic cipher) It's a name for 2 sound alike words that have different meaning. Maybe it refers to something in the text?

[Crimesolver]

Hmm... is it just me, or did the Sassies change their signature?

Yup they definitely changed their signature. Previously it was some other quote that I cant remember

If the target actually is linzhiyan, TCS, or MMM, then what's the point of the whole story before it?

[TheChiScientist]

Sassy has gotta make this game fun somehow right? Anyways I think it serves the purpose of misdirection or confusion... Also, watch your steps sassy You better not kill me off. (Back to the dark void until I feel like returning )
