At first glance, the bold words appear to be important, but I think that there might be more to the clue than just that since the words don't have to be part of sentences. In addition, there is no small or invisible text, and all of the bold words are either 2 words, a compound word composed of 2 words, or a word that can be said as 2 words (wood|planks, crafting|bench, cobble|stone, black|glass). For the idea about the clue relating to minecraft, I don't know anything about minecraft and can't add anything to that train of thought.

Likewise, I know next to nothing about minecraft, but a quick Google search turned up the following results from the minecraft wiki:
Wooden Plank
Crafting Bench
Cobblestone

lolwut. That has nothing to do with the kill clue. In fact, that's probably a better reason to accuse than protect...and you'd be rather foolish to accuse as well.

AlphaTauri:
1. I hoped you noticed I didn't really think that was it. If I did think that was the correct train of thought, would I have protected Fishman?
2. I don't plan to accuse anybody without an identity clue.
3. I appreciate your feedback.

After just checking google, I protect Haverstall, because the search "wood planks iron ore obsidian cobblestone crafting bench" the first three or so pages of documents all have to do with minecraft.

You think it might have something to do with R&M?

This clue is way too easy. So 4 explanations to why the sassy would put this clue up.

1. The sassy is a noob.
2. This clue is much more deep.
3. Trying to to give us a clue so easy that we panic. Like the one that sassy used 124 to target fm.
4. The sassy thinks we are stupid.

I think it is not minecraft, but forestry and R&M that this points to.
