Scioly Assassination 137: Checkmate

[MadCow2357]

I protect SO Nerd for the reasons previously stated. I will protect myself for the second protection because I wanna live. (I'll change it later if we get a better lead)

I'd correct the spelling of the name just in case your misspelling doesn't count and SOnerd is actually the target.

[Things2do]

You captured my pawn. Good job, otherwise you would’ve lost yours. MadCow2357 is safe… for now.

There’s a piece in danger for you after the move I made. Two pieces, actually. For this clue, officers each have two protects. If you only protect one person, I will kill the other. If you protect neither, then I’ll kill whichever one I feel like killing.

Innate skill isn’t eNough, Atention skills are imporTant, or yOu will not win this match. woRk Together, you’ll need to, or else you will lOse.

There’s a lot of butterflies flying around in here… I think my friend Mick might be able to get rid of them.

INATORTO are the letters that are capitalized, which unscramble to rotation, any reference to that?

Attention is also misspelled.

"Butterfly" used to be the forum swear filter, and SOnerd registered a IRC channel on the topic, and of which Anomaly is a regular visitor... Don't visit it without being invited. They're not afraid to ban you...

I use one of my protects on Anomaly for the reason stated above.

Oh wow. That was some superb knowledge from Things2do. Personally, I think it's suspicious. Well, we might as well move on to ID. Here's what I think:

Grammar Nazi?- The sig says "Everyone can learn to win at chess" right now. Seems a little bit suspicious of someone obsessed with grammar. Points to Things2do and UTF.

Chess- Just the whole entire theme of the game. Of course, Things2do posted in that chess forum, but so did UTF. Things2do seems very suspicious. However, there was that baconian cipher, which people said only people in codebusters would know.

I don't have any other leads. Btw sassy, your sig still says Scioly Assassination 136, not 137.

Things2do seems very suspicious right now...

Mick ---> Mick Jagger

Jagger sounds like jaggie?
Quite a stretch, but if we don't have any other leads...

I protect myself for the reason above

[TheCrazyChemist]

Well, the sassy just changed their sig, so they must have been active in the last hour.

[TheCrazyChemist]

Officers, we need to protect East. In the Scioly Chess game, East moved a pawn to E5. In the sig, there are 5 E's, all capitalized. Someone protect East.

EDIT: Still do the protect, but the sig may be an ID clue. Or maybe I'm stupid.

I guess I'll use my other protect on East

if butterfly used to be the forum swear filter, we're probably the "butterflies" and sassy is calling us a rude name then censoring it
(^this is a joke don't take me seriously)
on the other hand, i find it somewhat amusing that sassy said attention skills are important, but didn't even have the attention skills to spell attention correctly

ALSO have we tried to do anything with INATORTO other than unscramble it? it's probably important, and since "rotation" hasn't given us any leads, my gut says there's something else here that we're missing. ngl, i saw it and thought OH WOW NATO?? then realized i've probably been studying too much for ap world :')
