As the moon’s ethereal radiance spills over the landscapes of their dreams, children dance and travel and sing and love and laugh. With each step, they tread upon moonbeams, painting constellations with their fingertips and chase shooting stars like fleeting promises of magic.

This night, however, is different.

Clouds shadow the moon, and the children sleep fitfully. The beams of light the moon sends out are interrupted, and Yulia shivers. When she opens her eyes, she sees a dark hooded figure on a rooftop, outlined by the moonbeams.

Maybe she’s hallucinating. Hiding under the covers, she tries to go to sleep again.

Welcome to Assassinator game #166.

RULES:
1) There will be only one Assassinator.
2) Post official accusations and protections in this forum thread (in the format of “I protect/accuse ___ because ___”).
3) There can only be one accusation and protection per kill.
4) There will be 12 kills. The Assassinator will win after 12 kills, but each incorrect accusation will lower the number.
5) Whoever made an incorrect accusation will be killed.
6) There will be 2 clues per each kill. Kill intervals will be 7-8 days and clues will be posted every 3-4 days.
7) There may be hints revealing Assassinator’s identity. Which ones point to Assassinator? That is up to you to decide.
8) Dead people will not be able to help (they can, however, laugh at you.)

The figure smirks under their hood. They jump down next to the orphanage, and brings out their paint.

The next morning, the orphanage owners are shocked to see paintings on the side of the building.

This is an officer clue. First 5 people who DMs the Assassinator on Discord the message the assassinator wrote are selected to be officers.

SUB 30 HOUR TURNAROUND

just some thoughts put out:
likely someone pretty busy due to the scarce posting intervals, but that could be anyone in these next few months
also... astronomy???? the moon could just be because of the SUPER BLUE MOON today though
mjhowler might be a little suspicious because finishing officer clue within 8 minutes of posting, along with being tired/watching a video while assassinator was doing stuff on the scioly discord server

I hereby accuse VENOMsaurus because 1) He said NSPIRES are better than TI84 (correct opinion, but why bully TI84s) which is something Venom often says and 2) Venom is sus

WiseGuy, treasdea, MJHowler, Likearecord (saurus), and poonda are now officers.

The kill clue will be posted by tomorrow.

WARNING: THIS IS FROM THE ASSASSINATOR IN THE SCIOLY DISCORD SERVER FORUM THREAD DUE TO SCIOLY.ORG BEING DOWN FOR THEM
But, WiseGuy is now dead. The killer looks almost amused while they step on WiseGuy's throat. "This soon?" they giggle. The moon shines brightly upon WiseGuy's bloody body.

Thiamazole has now been confirmed as an officer.

^^^ can confirm now that I got the Discord logs set up

EYYYY I CAN EDIT AGAIN LET'S GO

Unable to sleep, Yulia crawls out from the cat flap into the dusty 11000th Street in the slums. A few minutes into her walk, she sees a young man selling pastries and flowers on Baker Street. Intrigued, Yulia walks over.

“Good evening, young miss! Er, you look a bit too young to buy anything…” The shopkeeper looks hesitant. Upon looking at her clothes, the shopkeeper’s eyes widen. “Oh, I’m sorry! Do you want some strawberry bread? You can have it for free!”

Yulia beams. It seems that some people have empathy for poor, young, orphanage kids. “May I have a flower, please?”

The shopkeeper hands her a mudan peony and some strawberry bread with a can of sardines. Touched by his kindness, Yulia thanks the young man and she walks back to the orphanage.

Unbeknownst to her, the young man follows her.

Tonight, the moon doesn’t shine.

The storekeeper laughs when Poonda stops screaming. He ends Poonda’s suffering and shoves a knife in their midriff. Poonda is now dead.

The next clue will be posted on September 9th.

UPDATE: zedsfh is now an officer. Good luck.
