Baseball and Houston to me screams luminosityfan. Has he been targeted at all? And, probably just a minor detail, but I've noticed Lumo mentions the sassy game on IRC a lot with "oh new clue is up", something Pika did last game. I'm probably just suspecting Lumo too much though.

But then, why would Lumo potentially target himself?

Yeah, I wasn't sure if he had been targeted yet or not. If he has/is then that throws my speculation out of the water. I could be entirely wrong.

maybe I should accuse him
EDIT: I can't accuse him this round, because I already protected someone.

Uh maybe wait a bit I'd say, unless all the remaining officers agree entirely on this. I'm not entirely sure about my suspicions.

It has been said that possibly trying to commit suicide as the sassy is a really risky move, and based on what I know about lumosityfan (which I know plenty about him since we're good friends irl), I'm not sure he would be the type to be willing to take that kind of risk.

I'd say to wait past this round. Maybe the Sassy just googled a bunch of stuff on the Astros to hint to protect lumosityfan.

Hi y'all,

As the Assassinator will be taking a road trip tomorrow (yes killers have to take a break eventually :( ), I will be giving a 36 hour extension to this clue. Use it wisely :)

Based on that I'd say we haven't protected the right person yet.
