[fozendog]

They are all US Senators... I think.
Edit: Here is info on all of them:

Cornyn-Texas-Republican
Hutchinson (or Hutchison?)-Texas-Republican
Moran-Kansas-Republican
Roberts-Kansas-Republican
Coburn-Oklahoma-Republican
Inhofe-Oklahoma-Republican
Nelson-Florida-Democrat
Rubio-Florida-Republican
Johanns-Nebraska-Republican
Nelson-Nebraska-Democrat

(There are two Nelsons)

And both Nelsons are Democrats.

The only potentially relevant thing I found for the acronym TKOFN was the videogame The King Of Fighters Neowave. I haven't gotten anywhere with it yet, but I will look into it more.

Edit:Nevermind all that, those states are (in order, I believe) the states with the largest annual number of tornados; thus, I protect tornadoguy.

[Cedavis6]

Any other protects?

[fozendog]

I'll protect myself because I don't want to die and I don't have time to look into it.

[twototwenty]

I guess I protect FullMetalMaple, because the art of the king of fighters neowave is similar to that indicated by her avatar and username...In other words, I am fairly confident in my protect of tornadoguy.

I dispensed with the formalities this time, and simply tossed a Molotov c.ocktail through his front window. However, the officers had already convinced him that he was in danger and he had left in a hurry, unfortunately not being present to enjoy the warmth provided by the roaring flames engulfing his house.

twototwenty has correctly protected tornado guy. (I apologize for taking so long to respond, but I didn't see your protect since you added it as an edit.) Pick an officer to give your extra accusation to.

I don't believe I really need to give an explanation for this clue, as it was solved correctly.

Your next clue:
I see you've gotten a new deck? It looks lovely.
You need to pick out a suit to match for the game. I think the middle one will do.

ID clue:
ATP

Officers, accusations! This game may drag on for a long time if you don't use them.

[mnstrviola]

ID clue:
ATP

ATP... isn't that some kind of molecule your body uses as energy? It's involved in photosynthesis, celluar respiration and some other things. I think it's called adenosine tri-phosphate.

[butter side up]

ID clue:
ATP

ATP... isn't that some kind of molecule your body uses as energy? It's involved in photosynthesis, celluar respiration and some other things. I think it's called adenosine tri-phosphate.

It is- it is a modified form of adenine (a base in DNA), and is separated into adenosine diphosphate and a spare phosphate group, releasing energy.
The deck/suit reference seems to point to cards. (Maybe bridge?)

[twototwenty]

Yes, that is all true, but ATP can stand for a variety of other things, see the wikipedia disambiguation page for that...I am really having trouble with these ID clues.
So, I guess I can waste one more accusation before I have to be conservative with them, so here goes.
I accuse AlphaTauri for almost no reason besides the fact that I randomly keep thinking that it's her, and cannot help but try to bend the ID clues to point to her, which is quite annoying. The only legitmate basis I have for this apart from some very small things is the fact that the vast majority of the posts by the sassy have come in at my (and alpha's) midnight, which is a time fewer people are active, alpha being one of them. Anyway, that's all.
In the very likely case that the game is not yet over, I would like to say that there is a chance that I might not have internet for a while, so if I do not post on this thread in 24 hours, my spot becomes (24 hours from now) temporarily up for grabs, until I can get back on and reclaim it.

Edit: I give my accusation to silverheart, for balance.
