Scioly Assassination 124: Fool's Gold

[linzhiyan]

I also protect myself because the most likely victim has already been protected, I don't have any other ideas, and because I don't want to die.

Hey guys! So apparently there are 5398 characters in the message code, but hex code ( for colors ) only works in multiples of 6 and 5398/6= not evenly divisible. So..... I tried using plain hex code, where only 2 charecters are needed for a byte. I couldn't get anything but (keep in mind it might be a mistake on my part because I don't know that much about code) I get error results and something about UTF-8.............
(here is the site I used https://cryptii.com/hex-to-text)

If you got error results and something about UTF, then I'll protect UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F just in case.

What if UTF-8 IS the sassy

Montana and Oklahoma..... identity?

As far as I am aware of there are virtually no users within that region.

Between - Kansas?

He's made jokes about it on IRC before, but for some reason I highly doubt he's the sassy.

Kansas pulls out the names Dxu46, Unome, SOnerd as a result. Still doubt it though.

I'll just put this here for anyone who wants it (and this).

More literally, the California Trail cut through Nebraska, which is literally "between Montana and Oklahoma." Maybe it could have something to do with 2015 nats? Maybe someone who medaled, etc.?

SOnerd medaled at nats 2015 and is "between Montana and Oklahoma" so...

Noted. +1 for SOnerd being a suspect.

Yeah guys, I just realized: aren't we supposed to be heading to California? So either this is a clue, or I messed up my history. (plus, it may not be referencing the state.
