Scioly Assassination 86: The Labyrinth City

[PacificGoldenPlover]

May I remind you of your own rule, sassy?

6. The Assassinator will provide clues that plainly point to my next victim, and occasionally to himself.

You can't go much plainer to a clue than posting a person's name. For you to post an actual user's name, then to twist it into saying its actually someone else, is dishonest. How do we know you are not changing your target halfway through the clue? For instance the first clue: naps has virtually nothing to do with laziness, besides a vague similarity in words. In my opinion, the clue targeted someone who is known to be lazy, or said something recently about being lazy, or is a fan of the song/singer who made it in the first place.
Can you prove that you are not intentionally changing your target in the middle of the clues? If not, I suggest you make the clues abide to rule number 6.

Nah, the Assassinator wouldn't be changing targets in the middle of the clue. It violates the spirit of the game. And the games are just for fun, right? Really, the goal isn't for the Assassinator to win, but have fun solving clues. S/he has been helping you a lot, and you guys did correctly protect once or twice.

Maybe EFO is assassin!!!!

Obviously.

I might as well say it now: Someone want my officer spot? I can't concentrate on this and studying for nats at the same time.

I'll take it.

I second the whole potential for the assassinator to be changing his target halfway through the clue... And i was about to protect z but then was too lazy

[Assassinator]

Notes:
I do not change my target. Furthermore, the point of having five officers is so that if one of them protects incorrectly, the other four (or three now) have a chance of protecting correctly. It is not my fault if none of you protect.

This is a game based a set of rules based on honor and trust. I do not violate those honor rules.

When you had difficulty solving the clues, did I not help you? Did I not give you hints and clues? It is your own fault if you do not pick up on those hints.

If this had been the good ol' days, you would have been able to solve ALL these clues easily. It is not my fault if your intelligence quotient is decreased.

If there were no red herrings, then this game would be no fun. The point of the game is to give you guys interesting, mind-challenging clues that might ask you to think a bit outside the box. This is a game for what is arguably some of the smartest kids in North America. I cannot put you on the same level as the great majority of kids.

This is a game for fun and for you to have some intellectually challenging puzzles a few times.

I am not an unfair assassinator. I have played many games before, and I know the pain of an unfair assassinator.

On that note, let the games continue.



7 am. THe officers and some townspersons stand outside the town center.
"The Assassinator is not fair!" PacificGoldenPlover yells.
"I concur!" yells Frogger4907.
"Anyone want my offficer spot?" haverstall calls.
"I want it! I want it!" Littleboy answers.
"The Assassinator is not changing targets. He's been helping too much!" EFO defends.
"I was too lazy to protect!" Forgger4907 complains.
Suddenly a rain of stones starts storming on them. All of them are knocked out and when they wake up they are surrounded with white paper. Littleboy sees a piece of paper with writing on it.
"Look! Look!" he yells. "The CLUE!!!"

Again if you do not attempt this one you will lose accusations.
You have 48 hours. THe clue expires at 7 am Pacific Standard Time on May 9th.

The officers stare at the piece of paper for a while. Suddenly foreverphysics shouts "Look! THere's another one!"

I think you deserve an identity clue now, don't you? Here it is.
6322
You will need math for this one.

Frogger4907 sees another piece of paper with writin gon on it.

Good day, Forrger4907. You have not protected on the last two clues, both of which were unsolved. What does this mean? It means you are no longer an officer. Good day.

Frogger4907 sinks to the ground, blubbering. "No...no..."

JUST SO EVERYONE IS CLEAR:

Here is the AP testing schedule. Please cross-check any and all accusations you make with that link so that you don't accuse anyone who was definitely in an AP test while a sassy post was made. It is illegal to post during an AP test.

This was posted at 3:11 PM CDT, for the record, just in case daylight savings / time zones are an issue.

My thoughts on the clue:

Given a list of people, I would assume that they all have one thing in common, and that thing points to the target (or this might be a situation of which one does not fit in with the others). If it is something that they all have in common, it would most likely be a real life event or a thread on this site (which doesn't sound that likely since both quadratic and chalker are on the list), since they did not all join on the same day of the year, the same year, or the same state.

For the identity clue, I automatically think of base conversion (the decimal number 6322 is 4vm in hexatridecimal), but the clue could easily refer to a property of the number 6322 or something else. That's my two cents.
