Scioly Assassination 64: The Hosts of History Arise

Does this mean that if I protected correctly, only I get the accusation, or everyone does?

Well, about that down below, if you saw this good job, and that's the end of the game, but I very much doubt you will!
Don't ask me, I'm not the sassy...

[Assassinator]

with each correct protect, the officer who made the protect will get the accusation. However, because this would mean 8 people need to be protected correctly for a total of 15 accusations, the officer who correctly protected may choose one other officer to get an extra accusation. A total of two accusations will be granted with each correct protect.

Kokonilly, choose another member to protect. Paleonaps has already protected Brobo.

At last, the awaited kill clue:

One whose abode, large in size
In conditions, happened to arise
Under a banner, a spark alone,
seeds of revolt sown
for divergence soon to thrive
a triumphant force of '45
a member who seeks elucidation
to the ultimate interrogation

I protect myself, because one of the signers of Texas' independence was named Bowl

Nice, quiz, that's even more BS than my protect in 50.

[Kokonilly]

Kokonilly, choose another member to protect. Paleonaps has already protected Brobo.

...And with that, I should probably read directions better. *headdesk*

[ophiophagus]

I protect zyzzyva for the reasons alpha tauri mentioned.

My thoughts about this poem are that the "banner" is a flag, which helped start a revolution which caused independence in a year ending in 45. I believe that the target is not from Texas, for the Texas flag was made in December 1836 after Texas became independent. Therefore the beginning of the Texas revolution could not have been under its flag. However, I may be misinterpreting the poem, and this is my first post on a Scioly assassination game.

This clue could point to Texas, for Texas is the second largest state, Mexican policies like the Law of 1830 provided the conditions for a revolution, a flag was flown at the Battle of Gonzales (the first battle of the revolution), and Texas became independent causing divergence to thrive. In addition, Texas achieved its goal of being annexed into the United States.

I just realized that this clue may target brobo...the explanation may not make a lot of sense because I don't have much time right now:

One whose abode, large in size

Texas is one of the largest states in the US

In conditions, happened to arise
Under a banner, a spark alone,
seeds of revolt sown
for divergence soon to thrive

Texas used to be part of Mexico, until they revolted and became independent. I think the origin of the Texan flag also has something to do with this time period.

a triumphant force of '45

Texas became a state in 1845

a member who seeks elucidation
to the ultimate interrogation

As brobo himself said, "ultimate interrogation" may mean "the ultimate question", therefore the question of life, the universe, and everything (H2G2 reference there).

Sorry, space scientist, but this possibility has already been established. Nice interpretation for a first-timer though.
