I would assume that the game would be considered a draw, and the officers and assassin would decide who the next assassin would be.
Did you not pay attention last game?

It's a draw; unless you guys are all dumb like last game and use all your accusations and consequently lose.

If it appears the officers will try to force a draw, then I will bring back the kill clues. On top of that, I will not provide anymore clues to my Identity. I feel that trying to force a draw would not be a wise choice on anyone's part.

I have heard from 3 officers, all choosing the same choice. Therefore, here is the final identity clue, and the two hints for clues prior.

Hint 2 wrote: calcium carbonate is not the common link.
And the final Identity clue:

That's bull. You can't say "I'm forcing you to end the game, and I'm also forcing you to use all 4 accusations so I can win easy." If you end the game early, that is your own choice, and you forfeit the right to win.

Based on the last clue, look for anyone that associated themself with the supposed "rapture" this past may.

Says the one who has repeatedly called himself "retired". You have been incredibly involved in the past games during your retirement, perhaps you should rethink your status.

Also, it would only be bull if the officers had no ability to protect, which they will retain if the time comes. All it takes is two clues to determine the end, which, if they protect correctly, would be two more accusations for them to use against me. I am not forcing an easy win, I am forcing a win or a defeat. I will not stand for my game ending in a draw. I will either win or lose, and this system ensures that. In fact, I will probably bring back the final two kill clues anyways, so I do not see what your problem is.

You need a reason, quizbowl. Re-accuse when you have one.

No, I am not paleonaps.

Since winneratlife seems to be having a sissy fit over my intention to end my game in a draw-less resolution, I will start posting the kill clues now, and continue the game as normal. I originally wanted to end the game early as an homage to my predecessor, but it seems that is too much to ask. Your next kill clue will be posted tomorrow morning. All officer responsibilities will remain the same, and no more hints to my identity will be given. I will post only 2 clues. That will fill the gap in accusations needed to win/lose. Good luck officers.

Looks like I got it done early:

I protect quiz.

The clue put into a Caesar shift with shift 13 (or if you prefer, just ROT13) results in "ITS GO TIME", which is in quiz's sig.
