You guys need a new hobby, seriously.

Anyway, here's your first clue:

An Ode to Toads

toads are the key to succeeding in life
they always play fair, they have little strife.
they're exQuisite And sTylish and totAlly cool,
they BaSk in the sun as they live in your pOol.
toads are not froGs, that's Very true.
with lucK, you'll be fRee like a toAd in the bayou.
MAy you live long like a toad or like me,
or else you'll end up in a large KfC.

Man, that's a terrible poem. Looks like I need some better poetry skills.

Still, it should be good enough for you to identify my target.

lol. he/she's right.
Amphibians+Reptiles! yay!
notice capitals
Nerds rule. Nerds are awesome. Nerds will someday (soon) rule the world. And you know it.

2010. Be prepared. If not, you f(l)ail!

Here are all the capital letters: QATABSOGVKRAMAKC

Maybe it's an anagram.

Edit: Never mind, I did it wrong.

QTABSOGVKRAMAKC <- Those are the capitals. Maybe a cipher? Notice the first line: toads are the key to succeeding in life. Toad=key? You need the key to save the victim's life?

"B" shouldn't be because all the first words are un-capitalized.
and none of the words in the middle are either

This is relatively off topic, as it doesn't have to do with the clue, but there is a poetry thread:http://scioly.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=264. If that helps anyone at all.
