Are you actually making DEMANDS to an assassin?!? Wow, all those years of serving the force sure have made you tough!

So is there an assassin yet?

DáinIronfoot · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2008, 06:57:01 AM »

...uh, did you not read the last post on the first page? I'd say that YES, there is, Lurtzy.

Guess you're getting thrown right into the mix your first time out after all, Ulmo.

That's fine by me. It's sink or swim. Or would that be think or die?

Not to be rude, Mr. (Mrs.?) Assassin, but it's customary for us to have some manner of timeframe.

Unless the rules are changing on us again....

That's a rule which I, for one, would rather not have change on us... 'Twould be nice to know how fast to think.

That said, any idea what the clue means? The 'irony' phrase is repeated twice, but I wonder if it might have something to do with dying anyway, of skin cancer, if we do save him/her?
Weird. not even sure what part's supposed to be clue and what's not.

Ah, so the victim's not SM!

AgentDrake · « **Reply #22 on:** July 02, 2008, 06:28:29 PM »

Ah, cunning, cunning, Kralik! Only 29 potential victims left!

And we have a deadline now.

MR. Lurtzy · « **Reply #23 on:** July 02, 2008, 07:52:49 PM »

I protect Dain.

DáinIronfoot · « **Reply #24 on:** July 02, 2008, 07:58:03 PM »

Odd duck, this Incog is.

Okay, lots of references to burning and tanning...but that doesn't lend any immediate help. Tanning makes me think of vacationing, which we have several folks doing now, but there's hardly anything concrete there.

I'll do some research on tanning salons tomorrow and see if I come up with anything.

AgentDrake · « **Reply #25 on:** July 02, 2008, 08:18:22 PM »

Okay, well...

Burning.

FM has fire on his avatar. SoP has a fiery eye in his avatar.

Yeah, that's what I got so far. Weak, at best.

Ulmo · « **Reply #26 on:** July 03, 2008, 06:34:15 AM »

Isn't SoP on vacation? I thought of the irony=DainIronfoot connection, a good idea to protect our own.

I protect SoP. "despite your best efforts or his" suggests that the victim is trying to catch Incog.

Tanning/tan/tannery/horses?
Tanning/tan/beige?

Good thoughts, but unfortunately not immediately helpful. Not raising any red flags.

Hmmm. Tanning, nets, frying, and irony. Sounds more like a punchline than a clue. This is a toughie.

I'll keep digging. We have two more days, after all.

Ulmo · « **Reply #28 on:** July 03, 2008, 01:39:21 PM »

There is also the "and even if you do they might still die of skin cancer" link.

Tanning/skin cancer => UV light or blue light.

Now I think I've got it: What helps prevent skin cancer? Something with SPF.

Someone protect HawkeyeSPF.

NappyKorn · « **Reply #29 on:** July 03, 2008, 01:42:18 PM »

lol that is great Ulmo. You can protect Hawkeyespf all you have to do is be a cop and post I protect [members name]
