Scioly Assassination 79: Elementary My Dear Watson

[quadratic]

In. So in. I'll try not to die this time...
Also, why is this an old version of the rules? It's strangely reminiscent of the earliest games. Few rules, no entry clue...yeah.

EDIT: Sassy, you need to change your sig before you post. It's disturbing to see yourself as dead when you're trying for an officer spot.

these aren't the original rules, you used to only get two accusations
do you have to protect to accuse the sassy never specified that

quadratic, look closely at what I said:

That means that it's not exactly the old version, just very much like the old version.

I am right now highly suspicious of both FM and Random.

[foreverphysics]

I think quadratic is more likely. Have you seen the grammatical errors in the first post? "I hope this letter finds you well." Honestly? And the lack of punctuation where it needs to be...I think quadratic is more likely than Random or fm. I know Random pretended to have horrible grammar once, but that was way over the top. It wasn't as subtle as this is, like this person honestly doesn't know they made grammatical errors.

[paleonaps]

No, I'm sorry, but I have strong doubts that Random would pick him. I think that the hurried ending to the last game indicates that they pulled some hanky-panky with the choosing. fmtiger, random, Z. Those are my suspects, in that order.

A. It's always been three. Never been two. Don't know where quadratic is getting that.

B. These aren't just strangely reminiscent of the old rules... they are the old rules

C. Of the people on chat that I remember, IdahoSciGuy and Kokonilly stand out. I do not think it is Kokonilly. I do think it is IdahoSciGuy, based on writing styles and because I think he'd make a pretty great British guy. Since (I think) he's going to back to college in a little bit though... I really don't know. That's what's stopping me.

Of course, it could be RandomPerson as well, or fmtiger (unlikely), or me (I'm pretty sure it isn't), as all of us were on chat at the time, or maybe even someone else I'm forgetting. But those are my main suspects at the beginning. It's not going to be a rookie, I can almost guarantee that.

Who am I? I am a well-known scioly member who has gone berserk. To cover my tracks during the murderous rampage that is coming, I have created a new account. It will be the job of five police officers to discover my true identity before I kill every single person on this board. (Well, that might not be worth the effort) Before a kill is made, I will post a clue that will point towards my next victim. The police will then have a period of time to send protection for five different people that might be killed. Besides protecting innocents, the police can also accuse real members of being the Assassin. Every time they make a wrong accusation, a black mark goes on their record. Two black marks and an officer is kicked out of the police force. If an officer succeeds in identifying me, (good luck) they can choose the next person to be the Assassin and gain the control of this account. Funny, isn't it? The same policeman that strikes me down will bring life to a new version of myself. But, all games must have rules, so here is the non-exhaustive list:

1. The police officers will be the next five people who post. 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. 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.

3. Police officers may die, but they can protect themselves.

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

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

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

7. The Assassinator reserves the right to add to these rules as he deems necessary.

With that, any prospective policemen may post below. But only if you think yourself worthy.

know your history z

[zyzzyva980]

You know what I mean. By the fifth or sixth game the three accusations rule was already in play, and was used in nearly every game following that, including the revised rules from the last ten-twenty rounds.
