It's a dead forum!

This session has gone on too long.

[TheChiScientist]

Well given the EOOTA intervention I guess I'll end this...
I accuse WaffleTree of being the sassy on the grounds of suspicious activity.

[JoeyC]

Correct

[Assassinator]

I had officially gotten bored with killing the citizens near this zoo.
So, I flew halfway across the country to start terrorizing other people
Unfortunately, as soon as I got off the plane, I was handcuffed by the police.
"Waffletree, you are under arrest for murder and attempted murder."

[waffletree]

alright, so im sorry everyone for not finishing this game, and i hadnt realized how mediocre some of the clues were...
and maybe i made it a little too hard
i tried my best to make it as un-obvious as possible, but maybe i tried to hard at that...
looking back, i do agree that the clues were a bit...too much? at times, i probably could have simplified some things a little

Here are the solutions:
Clue 1:

Target: LittleMissNyan (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue: TheChiScientist walked down the path to visit the last exhibit at the Walnut Zoo, the alligator. He couldn’t help but be a bit freaked out by the yellow, glaring eyes of the creature basking on the rock in the middle of the pond.
Suddenly, it dashed into the water leaving no trace, except, TheChiScientist noticed some marks scratched into the basking rock that seemed to read:

TheChiScientist backed away slowly - he was a bit freaked out, and couldn’t decipher the meaning of this.
But being TheChiScientist, he ignored it after he went back home, and continued planning his strategy to take over the world. He prefered the snakes anyway.

Solution: 
[b]Picture said LEMSNN, and if you took the first and last letters of LittleMissNyan, it’s lemsnn. MDB is from her profile. MD is her state, B is her division. BGM is her events - Battery buggy, game on, mystery.
The ID is the mention of alligators and snakes - I do herpetology. Not a big ID, but I wanted to start out small, and make them more obvious as time goes on.[/b]

Clue 2:

Target: kate! (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue: Later, TheChiScientist turned on the TV, and the news was on. He heard the reporter say: “A student attending a nearby school, LittleMissNyan was found in the alligator exhibit at Walnut Zoo by fellow student, linzhiyan. It is known that she was attacked by one of the aggressive alligators. She was found in critical condition, but will make a recovery.”

The next day, Froggie decided to pay a visit to the zoo and went to see the parrots. The exotic animals were perched on the tree and were being extremely loud. 
Suddenly, an orange parrot flew over to the wall, where Froggie was standing, and started talking. At first it was a bit unclear what it was saying, but then Froggie could clearly hear the words. 
“ONE ZERO ONE ONE TWO ZERO ONE SEVEN ONE TWO ZERO SEVEN.”

[b]Solution: The first paragraph was supposed to hint that you protected correctly, but for the wrong reason. Didn’t think anyone would get that part. Congrats pb5354[]. This clue was solved correctly - the numbers were kate!’s join date and time. The small ID was the mention of “tree.” This was kinda written in a rush, so I decided to focus on the kill clue more than ID.[/b]

Clue 3:

Target: linzhiyan (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue: Froggie was at home working on her disease detectives notes, when she received a phone call from her friend, Kate!, who apparently saw a masked person (she couldn’t tell the gender) following her home. Kate was able to shut them outside her house and called the officers. TheMysteriousMapMan arrived first, and chased away the masked person, but was not able to hunt them down.
On the other hand, dxu46 arrived three hours after the event happened because he was busy, so the other officers fired him, and replaced him with Waffletree.

Several days later, after lunch, EastStroudsburg13 went to the zoo for a few hours. However, it was snowing that day and the only animals that were outside were polar bears.
EastStroudsburg13 watched the three polar bears roll around for a while, when the baby polar bear crawled over to the glass. EastStroudsburg watched the polar bear dig up a laminated sheet of paper from under the snow and press it against the glass for him to read.
It read: St. Louis Zoo temporarily shut down due to an attempted attack from an unknown person towards the yaks, lions and zebras.

[b]Solution: This was a easy one - it was linzhiyan because yaks, lions and zebras - ylz - lzy. There were 2 ID’s here. One was the polar bear and snow thing. On that day, it was snowing in PA, where I live. Was supposed to give you a hint to where I live. The bolded letters at the bottom created a link to when the saints go marching in. This was the day that the Saints beat the Eagles (unfortunately) - again hinting towards my city, Philadelphia. [/b]

Clue 4:

Target: Madcow2357 (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue: linzhiyan was walking to school early in the morning, when she heard a noise but did not figure out where it came from. She kept on walking, and suddenly, a figure with a mask jumped out with a knife and started to chase her. Thankfully, she was near the school, and her teachers and classmates arriving to school heard her screeches, and saved her. However, the masked person was not caught.

After school ended, Anomaly, Waffletree, and Eddpmett were talking about reports of a person with a mask who has been attempting to murder people in the area. Anomaly said to the others, “This person is insane! I can’t believe he tried to use an alligator to kill someone!” Eddpmett shivered. “I hope we’re safe. This crazy dude is terrifying. I won’t be going to the zoo in a while.” Anomaly and Waffletree nodded their heads in agreement. Waffletree said, “We should have the buffalo try to kill them! Make them attack masked guy!” The others rolled their eyes at Waffletree's absurdness, but she did have a point. The person MUST be taken down before anyone else was harmed. 

They then approached their bus, but instead of their normal number, bus 38, the following numbers were printed on the bus:
b13c4e3g23

[b]Solution: I admit, this was a bit of a difficult clue. “Insane” and “crazy” and “absurd” were all synonyms of “mad”, referring to MADcow. If you took the numbers at the end and translate them to letters and vice versa, you get 2m3d5c7w - mdcw2357. The ID here was plainly, the mention of Anomaly, Eddpmett and I, like Anomaly mentioned, not many people know that we've met up at competitions before. The 38th state in alphabetical order is PA, but I didn’t really expect anyone to get that.[/b]

Clue 5:

Target: UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue:
Wednesday, 8:00 PM:
Reporter: “At 6:21 AM this morning the morning, Madcow2357 was found dead, mutilated, and dead by vicious falcons that had escaped the Walnut Zoo. Walnut Zoo is still under shutdown.”

Thursday, 1:00 AM:
LittleMissNyan woke up in the middle of the night because of the pain from a wound from the attack at the zoo. She checked her phone and found a text from an unknown number.

[/quote]

Thursday, 7:02 AM
The officers showed up to the zoo once again, to try to solve the mystery of the deaths and attempted murders. They could not find the flawed feet of the fleet.

[b]Solution: ID was “flawed feet of the fleet”. Flawed feet unscrambles to waffletree. This clue took some time to write…I took all the numbers in UTF’s username and used them as times. 8 - 8:00. 621 - 6:21. 1 - 1:00. The phone number spacing was just to throw you off, but the 66 2 was to complete the numbers from UTF’s username. You guys got the UTF from unicorns, trolls, frappuccinos. Juguemos fútbol was because the eagles just lost to the saints the previous weekend. That was another ID.[/b]

Clue 6:

Target: Waffletree (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue: Late at night, UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F was walking down a narrow sidewalk near the Walnut Zoo. Suddenly a giant bird fell out of the sky right next to him, making him jump back and scream. He tripped and fell into the street, as a car was zooming down the road. It was barely able to swerve around him, and stopped a few meters ahead of him, and the driver, TheMysteriousMapMan came out of the car.
UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F barely made it out of the situation alive.

linzhiyan was terrified of what was happening in this town. After the death of MadCow2357, the attacks on her and the others, she didn’t know where was safe. She was on edge, as she walked to the park with her friends. Then, she saw an unusual sight. In front of them, stood a huge peacock, holding and envelope. She opened it, and a note was inside it.

YWK TZSB VS MVV RAYHL CML WTTWLWLRWW QF BXWEG ESUDWL GO WSRTZ TY S DQBN[/quote]

[b]Solution: You guys got this right and saved me. It was meant to be an easy clue so I didn’t die. WHO AM I was a really big ID. “I” was referring to the sassy, and the target was me. [/b]

Clue 7:

Target: TheMysteriousMapMan (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue linzhiyan and her fellow cops were barely able to save Waffletree when she was stuck in the lion exhibit. How she got there? No one knows.

Riptide and ForeverPhysics were in the mood for a party. One that was unusual, different from a typical party.
So, they decided that they would host a secret party for their science olympiad friends. On the night of, the first small group crossed the Haunted Bridge in the back of the zoo to get in. They grabbed a map of the zoo to find the statue of the man and the bear, right in front of the bear exhibit, which was the OPPOSITE side of the zoo. TheChiScientist, who was leading the small group, groaned as they realized they had to sneak across the whole zoo. 

As they met up with the other half of the partiers, they heard a gggggrowl, a ssssscream, and scuffling sounds coming from the bear exhibit.

Someone was attacked.
[b]Solution: Haunted bridge is capitalized because it’s a nancy drew book, which are mysteries (mysterious). Talks about a map (map). And haunted is similar to mysterious but that wasn’t the main part. The man and the bear (man). = mysteriousmapman[/b]

Clue 8:

Target: TheChiScientist (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue: The party group rushed to the bear exhibit, and gasped as they saw TheMysteriousMapMan’s dead body lying next to a ferocious black bear. TheChiScientist tried yelling orders for everyone to stay relaxed, but no one listened. Everyone ran towards the exit...but that didn’t go so well for the group…
At the gates, the group of 66 total people were stopped by people (or not people) in masks. The partiers who were freaked out ran back to the other direction towards the bridge. 
They ran by the pizza and hot dog stand, and could see eyes behind the stand staring back. Chilled to the bone, everyone just wanted to get out ASAP. So they decided that they would go around the safest exhibit...the koalas? They had absolutely zilch idea what to do.
[b]Solution: They ran by the pizza...Chilled to the bone...So they decided… = TCS. Absolutely zilch - absolute zero, which is his location.[/b]

Clue 9:

Target: Tailsfan101 (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue: In the process of getting everyone out safely, TheChiScientist almost tripped and rolled off the bridge, to his death, but thankfully (not), Waffletree saved him.
LittleMissNyan and several others somehow got lost near the lion exhibit. One look from the hungry lions Staring them Down, Swishing their Tails, Baring their Teeth, and LittleMissNyan knew this wouldn’t end well. 51-611-4101 was the phone number to call for emergencies at the zoo, so she called the number. No one answered. They were doomed. Someone would be dead by morning. 

[b]Solution: Swishing Tails points to Tailsfan101. 51 is the place of Tailsfan101’s team at nationals last year. 6 = f, 1 = a, 14 = n, 101 = 101. No ID this time.[/b]

Clue 10:

Target: sciolyperson1 (Click to Show Hidden Text)

Clue: They were right. Kind of right. As they waited for morning to arrive, a few people would stay awake at one time, as the rest of them slept. Everyone woke up to Linzhiyan screaming, and someone turned on a flashlight.
Tailsfan101 was attacked by a lion, but was still alive. They called 911, but on every phone, they’d get a message saying that calls will not go through until seven days later.

No one dared to escape. They found the rest of the people, and gathered together, lived in the ticket booth, and formed plans to escape, but many of them did not want to risk their lives. They lived off of food in the zoo’s cafe. 
Many of them tried to think of ideas to beat this great killer, who seemed like they were the boss of the area.
People were tired, and he may have been hallucinating, but JoeyC thought he saw a person. In the middle of the night, at 2:00AM when he was on watch, he saw a pair of gleaming eyes in the doorway. He screamed, “AHHHHH!!! PEOPLE OF SCIOLY! WAKKEEEEE UPPPPPP WAKKEEEE UPPPPPP WAKKEEEEEE UPPPPPP!!!!! I SEE A PERSON!!! WAKE UP! we are dying” Everyone immediately woke up, and JoeyC pointed to the doorway.
N0 1 was there.

[b]Solution: people of scioly = sciolyperson. N0 1 = 1. sciolyperson+1=sciolyperson1.  ID - when I said “Many of them tried to think of ideas to beat this great killer, who seemed like they were the boss of the area,” I was referring to my school's (Bala Cynwyd) efforts to make nationals and beat out Springhouse, which was a topic of discussion in the PA forum.[/b]

Other info about the clues:
- The point of view that each clue was from (not the target, but like who was the clue about) unscrambled to "waffletree." Which was obviously a big ID.
- I started to spell out "sefflaw" with the names of the targets (starting with sciolyperson1) but clearly, never got to finish that...
- probably shouldn't have told TCS that I was sassy

TCS, PM me for your sassy choice.

So I think that's it...
To Sassy 144 - Happy killing and good luck.

Adios!

Well... To be fair I agreed to not expose you but I think popularity went a little like this.

Otherwise, it was relatively fun until people stopped joining in...

The EOOTA restrictions from the last game kinda killed the sudden interest... Next time I'm thinking of shaking things up with the new sassy.

[linzhiyan]

Ooh, yay! Nice, waffletree! I clearly didn't participate as much as I hoped to, but I've had a lot on my plate recently and I've been trying to go to bed by 11:30 each night. (Hehehe... hasn't really worked, but oh well...) Anyways, good job!!!
