I protect myself because I am awesome.

I am going to be away this weekend, and I am not sure if I will have access to internet.

Wait, has everyone protected? The album is called how to diffuse an atomic bomb. I knew littleboy was the target when he died, so I essentially diffused an atomic bomb. I may be the target.

My target was correctly protected. Not for the right reason, just so you don't get too full of yourselves.

Think outside the games for this one.

Think hard about the key phrase.

Can we know who correctly protected so that person gets an accusation?

EDIT: I have a feeling, if the clue was related to the atomic bomb album, that thehydrogenpoptart was the target

Wow. How did we miss that? Hydrogen bombs. Atomic bombs. Makes sense now.
Anyways, the new clue appears to be some cipher or shift code.
I need to get that shift code decryption program up and running like I've been meaning to.

EDIT:
and I love some of the clue solving strategies that I have seen in all of the games so far.
It's like: sassy says "Italy"
Italy
Salami
Meat
Cows
Farm
Chickens
Mcnuggets
McDonald's
Frozen food
Oh my god. It must be targeting fozendog.
Lolz
Well, that's just how random my thought process is. ;)

I mean, now that I think about it, a hydrogen poptart just SOUNDS like a dangerous explosive...in a way...

I eventually got a headache trying to get the program working, so I found an online shift code decoder instead and went through all the possible encryptions. Nothing makes any sense, so it doesn't appear to be a shift code.

Sadly it's too short to crack with standard cyrpto techniques (a frequency analysis or pattern/frequency analysis for polyalphabetic ciphers). So unless we figure out a key for it I'm not quite sure what to do...

You were all wrong about my target, which I guess is what should be expected of you.


That clue targeted iwonder.
