...because I've been on enough to do so?

And I'm insulted you think I'm dumb enough to be using a revolver in the game.
Why the revolver?

It's a long-running joke of sorts on chat.

What exactly is going on? Has the assassinator blinked out of existence again, or is he or she waiting for the officers to make a desicion, or what?

Here is what I have concluded about the Assassinator's identity:
1. At some point, around June 27th, the Assassinator did not have much time for this game and was unexpectedly busy, which caused them to run out of clues. However, since that time, the Assassinator has had more free time and has built up a stockpile of clues. Typically, a stockpile of clues is only made if a person expects to be busy in the future and does not want to have to come up with clues later.
2. Additionally, the kill clue descriptions have been made ahead of time. This is pretty obvious because lengthy descriptions of the killings are posted even if the person has been protected and is not going to die.
3. This Assassinator clearly understands the importance of masking one's voice (something Kokonilly has yet to learn). It is very clear that they are taking a great deal of care to hide their identity because they have bothered to use brackets [] where a normal user would use parentheses (). As far as I know, no one on scioly typically uses brackets when they post. For this reason, one can not conclude much from the word choice of this Assassinator because they are likely picking their words carefully.
4. These kill stories are remarkably long. Many people do not have the patience to sit down and write out such a long and elaborate description.
5. This Assassinator understands the full extent of posting (which isn't really that hard) and uses such things as underline tags etc.
6. This Assassinator appears to frequent scioly chat.

Normally, I don't give my 2 cents about this kind of thing because I always worry people will then suspect that I am the Assassinator. But I was actually accused this game :D (along with Kokonilly, brobo, fmtiger, FullMetalMaple [twice], and spacescientist).

Now, for dramatic effect, I will show my top 3 suspects with hidden tags. That way, you can make up your top 3 list and see how it compares :P . If I were an officer, I would definitely use 1 of the 5 remaining accusations on suspect #1.
#1. Luo
#2. RandomPerson #3. zyzzyva98
Assassinator, no need to hold up on the game and hope people will burn through 5 accusations, however. I am of the belief that scioly should always have a clue to be solving. Don't keep them waiting.
When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.

>.<

EDIT: The sassy has posted at 11:58 AM and noon. Luo's at CTD; his lunch starts at noon. Make of that as you will. He has also been online for all of the sassy's other posts. So that checks out. He might be worth an accusation.

Well I've been itching to accuse someone, and have had a hunch about Luo since this game began
So I accuse Luo for the aforementioned reasons

Agreed, Koko can't mask her voice :P And she's a creep as well.

You probably don't want to point that out when you are already suspicious...
