You All seam way To happy to let me kill again. I like the way your perverted minds think. now onto the clue, as it's not much fun If I just kill you off.
I'll kill the Mexican first
My Target is someone who is known by most and is either loved or hated by those who know them. No one is indifferent to them. Everyone has A strong opinion of this person.

Have fun attempting to figure this person out. You have 48 hours. Good luCK

Firstly, you guys missed that the i in "if" is capitalized, so the capitalization spells ATITACK, not attack.

Secondly, if you quote/highlight the post, you'll see that "I'll kill the Mexican first" is written in white, soooooo I'm guessing the target is Zang.

[kreacherxluver]

Ohhhh why did you do that before the informants came around!? Haha

[rocketpants]

My guess is the caps are there to throw us off, but it's a hunch. And also the "n" in "now" starting the third sentence isn't capitalized. Something to consider?
I'll kill the Mexican first... well I'm one of the closest to Mexico and I live in a largely Mexican city, but I'm white, so I suppose I'm ruled out. I think I'll go with Chelsea on this one.

[Nakor]

Agreed; someone should protect Zang. I don't notice anything else of interest that hasn't been pointed out already.

[UnfairBear]

what the hell? i highlighted it and i saw nothing! >.>

I protect Zang cause of what Chelsea said and stuff. yeah.

[Alex]

I think cooltiger is the assassin.... He posted a clue and isn't a cop/informant.

Also, cooltiger said "he" for the assassin.... Possibility?

[Nakor]

Y'know, the funny thing is I kind of thought the same and I never noticed it was CT that made that post. It just occurred to me that he also recently used the white-on-white text. But that's hardly enough evidence, merely something to keep in mind while we try to earn clues.

[Insane_Zang]

Didn't CT run the first one? It has to be someone who knows I'm Mexican, so probably someone on skype.

[assassinator]

Well you have figured out who I was targeting for my first kill. Zang has been saved by those who aren't colorblind. Live well you tiny mexican... thing.

I promise this clue won't be as easy to figure out. You have 48 hours to try your best though.

[Nakor]

No number appears twice in the sequence. It's not ASCII, and there are too many values for each to represent a letter without duplication. Still working on it.

[assassinator]

You've already have several. Read back over everything I've posted. You'll get a "proper" clue as to who I am at the next victim.
really read everything

[shinigami345]

really read everything
is in white text just below the am at the next victim D: geez my mouse kept binding up on that

[Nakor]

Knock 26's off of each value until all are between 1-26:

18 20 12 26 21 7 22 9 7 19 22 12 13 22 4 19 12 8 7 26 25 25 22 23 7 19 22 15 26 8 7 26 8 8 26 8 8 18 13 4 18 7 19 16 13 18 5 22 8

Assign arbitrary letters (A=1, B=2, etc.) for easy cryptogram solving:

R T L Z U G V I G S V L M V D S L H G Z Y Y V W G S V O Z H G Z H H Z H H R M D R G S P M R E V H

Oh ho. See the ZHHZHH? Sounds like the first six letters in "assassin"

RTLZUGVIGSVLMVDSLHGZYYVWGSVOZHGZHHZHHRMDRGSPMREVH
I..A........N....S..........AS.ASSASSIN.I...N...S

Now to solve the rest of the cryptogram.

[chelseeyuh]

It comes out to be:

IGOAFTERTHEONEWHOSTABBEDTHELASTASSASSINWITHKNIVES
I go after the one who stabbed the last assassin with knives..

[Ryan]

holy crap - I was gone a day and already 2 clues...and no informants?

anyways

There's the rest of the cipher I believe, please translate, as I am hungry and must eat.

[Nakor]

Lol, I was close to getting it there. This is how far I was:

Crawling through the other thread... unless it's not there. bombmaniac was the last assassin, but the stabbing might have occurred elsewhere?

[UnfairBear]

its charlotte. she stabs people with knives. im sure shes stabbed asher with knives plenty of times. I protect her for that reason.

[UnfairBear]

also, must be someone who knows charlotte.

[chelseeyuh]

Lol, Nakor, you figured out the difficult part, but couldn't figure out that the code was just the alphabet reversed? XD

Even I didn't think of the knife thing... This is definitely someone really involved in the call....
