Scioly Assassination 83: A Christmas Killing

[paleonaps]

Just so everyone realizes:
The headline is about a crater (dinosaur extinction) big enough to hold New York and Philadelphia.

[PacificGoldenPlover]

No, the headline is about a perpetual motion machine.
Since perpetual motion in a machine is sort of a paradox, I protect paradox21.

[The Eviscerator]

I'll protect paleonaps cause of the thing about New York.

[Littleboy]

Oh? since when is naps the only person from NY?

[quizbowl]

Based on the NY thing and the inherent reference to Fossils, I'll protect meself.

Did anyone actually look at the link? It opens to page 23 in the magazine. The reason for page 23 is just because that's what google links to when you search "popular science october 1920". It's seems unlikely to me that the Assassinator is using page 23 of a magazine has his reference.

[PacificGoldenPlover]

I noticed that.

[tornado guy]

Someone please explain this game to me?!?!

If you're that desperate go read some of the other games in the past... That is how I learned how to play this game (Though I'm not that good at it).

You really can't explain game, you just have to watch and learn (and eventually get used to it).
Basically, Assassinator is the assassin. He's out to kill people.
Before he kills someone, he gives a clue hinting to who it is he's about to kill.
If you can solve the clue (which will usually be very, very, vague and clueless) and figure out who the assassinator (sassy) is trying to kill, then you protect that person.
I don't really get it myself.
