Scioly Assassination 65: The Psychopath Next Door

Post by Assassinator »

Imagine - if you can - not having a conscience, none at all, no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do, no limiting sense of concern for the well-being of strangers, friends, or even family members. Imagine no struggles with shame, not a single one in your whole life, no matter what kind of selfish, lazy, harmful, or immoral action you had taken. Four out of every hundred people are like this.
They are psychopaths.
With those statistics, how do you know there is not a psychopath next door?

1. The police officers will be the next six people who send correct answers to the clue. Put in a bit of thought before posting. If you have not been around for awhile, it is less likely that you will be able to identify me.

2. There will be no "informants", but civilians may post

3. People will die. However, there are some exceptions. I will not kill administrators or moderators. In return, I ask that they not reveal my identity.

4. Police officers may die, but a police officer may protect another police officer.

5. Once a police officer has made three incorrect accusations, he may not accuse or protect anyone.

6. The assassin will provide clues which plainly point to his next victim, and occasionally to himself.

7. The assassin will continue to post with his true account, and may provide hints there.

8. The assassin will write entertaining and mildly gruesome accounts of his kills.

9. When accusing someone of being Assasinator you must use the following template "I accuse (place name here) because (give reason here)." If you don't use this template when accusing the accusation won't count.

10. Once "killed" a user may not make any statements about the identity of the Assasinator.

11. Non officers or informants may post.

12. Each clue will last only one day, after which the Assassinator may kill. You have additional officers due to this rule

13. If the assassinator does not reply in 8 days after all protects are made, each officer gets a free accusation. However that accusation must be made next time the user posts and cannot be stored as an extra one to use later.

14. Each officer begins with one accusation. You will earn accusations as you protect correctly

15. The Assassinator wins after 15 incorrect accusations have been made, but the number needed to win goes down by one with each kill

16. The Assasinator reserves the right to add to these rules as he deems necessary.
Zyzzyva98 wrote:WHEREAS, the pace of the assassinator games is often notoriously slow, leading to the players' unrest, and
WHEREAS, the officers and assassinator can both be considered equally at fault for this, and
WHEREAS, being an officer or assassinator is a long-term commitment that should not be undertaken if one does not wish to commit to spending upwards of two months playing their part,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the assassinator game immediately adopts rule 18, which reads "Any officer that is absent from the forums for at least ten (10) days without prior notification immediately forfeits their spot to the player who was next closest to winning the qualifying clue. Should that player be inactive as well, the spot falls to the next active member."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the assassinator game immediately adopts rule 19, which reads "Any assassinator that is absent from the game (re: does not post) for one (1) week (seven full days) without prior notification immediately forfeits the game to the officer with the highest number of correct protects. If there is a tie, all concerned officers will come to a mutual agreement. Under rule 19, the assassinator is not allowed to win by number of protects. Any evidence of throwing the game based on rule 19 would result in a ban from the game to correspond with the severity of the offense.
Good luck, and happy killing.

No one is in yet. The clue will be released either tonight or tomorrow afternoon.
