Read the story. The one that the game is named after.

"The smile on the general's face widened. "To date I have not lost," he said. Then he added, hastily: "I don't wish you to think me a braggart, Mr. Rainsford. Many of them afford only the most elementary sort of problem. Occasionally I strike a tartar. One almost did win. I eventually had to use the dogs."
Previous sassies that have, to date, never lost are: paradox21, haverstall, foreverphysics
Ok I'm pretty sure EFO is right about the signature cause that is part of the book and is probably not an ID clue so we shouldn't look into that too much.

I think that this is an important clue, due to the reference in the beginning of the story:

Or, the Sassy could just be using "S.S Scioly" because he/she needed a boat in the story.

Since ThePrudentGuava isn't actually an officer, his protect earlier wouldn't be considered valid; I'll just protect myself to make it official.

I protect myself because of the reasons stated earlier in the thread.
i know that i should be in bed
and its almost 3 am
but when i close my eyes i can only see miles of headlights

Go back to page 2 or 3 where I gave my second clue interpritation. (I think I spelled that wrong, but whatever)
Perfection. That’s what it’s about. It’s those moments. When you can feel the perfection of creation. The beauty of physics, you know, the wonder of mathematics. The elation of action and reaction, and that is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to.

Eh, I guess I just thought there would be more to the clue. Oh, well.

Yeah it's not much, but better safe then sorry in my humble opinion.

Ajayd and I both read it in school, and we are in division B. However, I read it as part of an elective class (I believe Ajayd did too, since I see him at school).
Edit: What happened to the idea of accusing forever?

It's probably not a good idea to accuse so early and we should wait for an Id clue.
