Okay. I think we should still compile a list of who is in UMich right now. Idk how to do that, someone help?

Also, maybe we should protect them as well? In case they are not sassy and this clue could target someone who goes to UMich.

I know that Kenniky goes to UMich, as well as AlphaTauri.

I'm pretty sure syo_astro is already protected, and I protected Alpha already.

I thought syo was already a mod...

Syo_Astro is an IRC mod from my understanding. He holds a grudge against the Admins/Mods because he didn't want to do it.

Firstly, syo_astro is absolutely right. We need to actually investigate the clues. Saying things like “they said ranger so it targets Bernard” or “they said mad so it targets madcow” doesn’t make sense. These clues are much more intricate than that. Also, the spam and unnecessary comments still haven’t stopped.

I think syo is right that this is about Eloise Hospital. Unfortunately, after a lot of looking I can’t figure out anything beyond that.

It’s also important to look for any strange wording. I noticed the sassy’s phrasing here seemed strange:
Assassinator wrote:Sadly, Unome cannot breathe in clear blue water.
The “clear blue” is unnecessary, so it was included deliberately. And “cannot breathe” rather than “drowned” was deliberate as well. So I looked up “cannot breathe in clear blue water” and, lo and behold:

There’s a song titled “clear blue water” with lyrics “you can breathe in clear blue water.” It’s by OceanLab and Above & Beyond, a trance music (EDM) group. Needless to say, I think this is an ID clue.

To add on, Above & Beyond has an album called Tri-State, and Michigan is considered part of a few tri-state regions. Alternatively, sassy could not be from Michigan, and this just means we've opened up a whole other can of worms :|

ETA: There's a campsite/state park along Lake Michigan. This could be very loosely connected. There's a Bay City State Park with a beach.

I'm only posting once a day to limit how many posts are made, reducing spam, and allow me to think about what others post.

There isn't always an ID clue, and it won't be so random. Also, analyzing time of posts, users online, etc has been done. It is quite inefficient, as you all should know. Finally, to Things2do (this post), the 20s thing was nothing. I noted it may imply an age for the kill clue, but I ALSO said it doesn't work in context.

Since people seem to know nothing about me (even Name and PM2017:( ), I'll give you all a few details:
I WENT to UofM, technically, I just graduated. Ann Arbor is not Ann Harbor, which does not exist. It is near no harbors. Most important is that I am from NY, and it can't be someone from NY...As for nats, there are PLENTY of people other than me. Take more time before posting a page.

Story time...I am not a mod, and please don't make those assumptions. The admins asked me to be one, but I said no for my own reasons. I started trolling with the "revolution". It ultimately went too far, was mean in retrospect, and the joke ended (this is just me admitting a mistake). The joke then took a complete 180 actually because now everyone pokes fun I'm a mod (there are various cases, like the Scioly Superlatives). The admins and I actually get along (I hope)...

What do you mean by sassy can’t be from Michigan?
