So stars... Could it be user ranking stars? Probably not but just throwing out ideas
Two lines above the ranking stars is the member name. I still don't know how the youtube videos fit in this though...

Edit: Due to lack of time, I protect twototwenty, due to the fact that two lines above the ranking stars is the member name, and "twototwenty" has 11 letters, and all the youtube links had 11 characters.

As far as who the sassy is, I've got a strong urge that it is either zyzzyva98 or fmtiger124.

Both are likely for fmtiger to choose. zyzzyva and tiger have a decent rapport I guess you would say. While fmtiger has avoided picking himself enough times (after correctly finding the assassinator) that from his perspective, he might be able to choose himself and get away with it. Neither have been sassy in a while (because what game was it... 75 I think was looong) so that makes both more likely.

Of course, the biggest clue to the identity of the sassy is the fact s/he targeted paleonaps on the first clue. This is something that hasn't been done before that people like zyzzyva, tiger, brobo, and myself (some others, I am going to get a list of every sassy that targeted paleonaps first) were very fond of. I'm fairly certain that if it wasn't one of us that did this in the past, its certainly someone similar to us.

Of course this makes brobo and myself suspicious for the same reason that zyzzyva and tiger are. Brobo however has been inactive recently, while tiger chose me for sassy for my most recent game in #60, and he wouldn't choose me again. Regardless if you have any suspicions against me please voice them, so I can hopefully dispel them.

EDIT: and of course the sassy is fairly conciliatory, something which tiger has always been in favor of. Zyzzyva hasn't been quite the same but I imagine he would be in favor of it as well. Tiger would be a good first accusation.

I wish there was something to convince you otherwise, but there really isn't much, I have to admit.

Although, "Destiny Calls"? Really? I wouldn't make a title that lame. Look at the titles of my previous games... "Destiny Calls"... please... :P

Rgkw8nmfnpQ= Victorious Cast Best Freind's Brother ft. Victoria Justice
pa14VNsdSYM= Rihanna Only Girl in the World
j5-yKhDd64s= Eminem Not Afraid

Ok, so they seems to be all songs, except the first one ( :?: )
So I listed the stars from each of the song (not much we didn't know already):
zBbMAJgBymA - Tootin' Bathtub Baby Cousins?
qHm9MG9xw1o - Ryan Tedder (or OneRepublic in general)
uelHwf8o7_U - Eninem and Rihanna
e82VE8UtW8A - Rihanna
Rgkw8nmfnpQ - Victoria Justice
pa14VNsdSYM - Rihanna
j5-yKhDd64s - Eninem
I think the word "objects" is significant because it is plural. Of the above things, only the first three have more than one "star" and only the third one has two lines above it. So going two physical lines above the Eninem and Rihanna song, we find... Tootin' Bathtub Baby Cousins...

Based on this, and the fact that it sticks out like a sore thumb as the only non-pop-song, was there anyone that posted this video before, or that has a cousin also on the boards?

Why, then, did the assassinator tell us to ignore the videos content and titles? I think this would include the stars of the videos.

Yeah great point it has me wondering a lot. But I mean... we've established that stars refers to celebrities, and I don't really know what else to do with that hint...
I was presuming that ignoring the video titles meant ignoring things like trying to find a username hidden in the urls or the titles...

Edit: Well I doubt I'll solve it personally by the deadline, so I protect paleonaps based on the fact that I find the cousins video to be significant (see last post of mine) and paleonaps has mentioned cousins several times off handedly on this forum (do a search if you are curious), and that the sassy seems to hold a grudge against him so I find it likely s/he could target him again.

I tried a keyed Caesarian shift using "star" as the key and "2" as the shift on the original clue for Tootin' Bathtub Baby Cousins. I got this.

For Eminem and Rihanna, it was this:
wdkGye8n7_W
And then the Tootin' Bathtub Baby thing, when read backward, the first four letters read AmyB. Like a name, almost.
This is probably way off and I'm probably just going off on random tangents, but I couldn't think of anything else. My brain is still dead from the repeated mantras of "Respectful! Responsible! Ready!" I have been hearing at school for the past two days. Ugh. I also doubt I'll be able to post again before the deadline, so...
I protect harryk because his username is set up in the same style as the name I found while reading the clues backward.
I'm probably wrong, but I won't get a chance to post again (school, homework...yes, we do get homework on the second day of school.)

Thanks for the protect. As far as I remember, I've also only mentioned my cousins on assassination threads.

Well I'm pretty stuck with the clue, so I protect zyzzyva98 because there are 7 links and zyzzyva has 7 letters, so assuming that you got a letter from each link you would have a 7 letter word and yeah, just not sure how to connect them :?

I protect RandomPerson because so far on this clue all we have are a bunch of random songs and I don't think anything comes after that.
