Scioly Assassination 53: The Wanderer

[zyzzyva980]

This is an identity clue, not a kill clue. The kill clue is the string of numbers I translated to letters a while back. It wouldn't hurt to work on that, either. Also, the coordinates from what eta posted, which I believe are correct, have nothing to do with the Brandenburg gate. It was a good idea, though, before we got the exact coordinates.

Does anyone have something in their identity (avatar, sig, location) about being Dutch or something about the Netherlands?
If so, they'll probably be the assassinator.

just saying, leeuwarden is in dutch, and the leeuw- prefix means lion. could this have to do with fmtiger?

and the warden sounds DANGEROUSLY close to ward...maybe has to do with ward melville. since ward and f-m are like opposites, like lion and tiger, i guess that means it could be someone from either place. and isnt it true that paleonaps goes to ward melville now???

I believe that the wanderer is paleonaps95 for a few reasons:
1) he is, well was, in division b for this year, which keeps him out of the AP test function and lots of free time for this. also, i doubt that middle school teachers would be more strict on students being on the internet than high school teachers.
2) the audio clip - i timed from the first chord to the cutting off of the sound - which is exactly 9.5 seconds.....hmm, paleonaps95? any correlation?
3) speaking of the audio clip, this occurred to me while I watching a movie; has anyone seen the movie Kes? if you remember one of the scenes when the piano is playing in an overture, you can hear that exact chord progression! and if you dont know, Kes is a movie about a boy and his falcon, and isnt paleonaps95's avatar a falcon of some sort?

Identity Clue #2 wrote:
53 12, 5 48

the sum of those numbers is 118, which is as many posts as paleonaps95 had when this was created.
5) in paleonaps95's profile he clearly states he likes writing and novels, which could explain his great skill for creating interesting and confusing storylines. and a west coaster, dare i add.
all kidding aside, paleonaps95 is a cold blooded murderer and must be stopped.

I was hoping I'd be accused. As much as I wish it were me, it isn't.
One thing, though. I'm not a west coaster.
Red-tailed Hawk, not a falcon. And I have no free time, considering I was at nationals.
BTW, just saw your last post. While what you said is true, it is not me.
However, I do like writing creatively. It is a talent of mine I get little chance to use.

sorry for jumping the gun, paleonaps
i got nothing then..

[paleonaps]

It's alright. I made some posts using language to deliberately get accused. Just wanted to give people a false sense of knowing.
I hope one day it will be me, though.

Why would you want to be accused? That's a waste of an accusation...

[quizbowl]

just a question - if fmtiger decided who the next assassin is, that doesnt rule him out, does it? because the identity clues are starting to point to him.

I just wanted to be noticed in my first game. If I was ever accused, I;m glad it was informal.
And quizbowl, that doesn't rule him out at all.

i did some more research on the keizersgracht; do any of these terms correlate to anyone?
it basically means "Emperor's canal"
was named after Maximillien I (HRE emperor)
it is located in Leeuwarden (basically Lion's Ward)
OMG MC ESCHER IS FROM THERE
ITS AMERIKESTREL
