Sorry, it's not me. :|

But this sassy has done a good job... at least 4 people have mentioned me as their top suspect. :?

/me recommends waiting now for another kill clue.

The Assassinator's identity will be revealed in due time and it will undoubtedly be wildly entertaining.

I am really liking this round.

Remember what harryk said? Another kill clue won't help us.

But with a kill clue, may come an identity clue. Not to mention, I believe the sassy could potentially hide a id clue inside a kill clue. He/she has hinted at the fact that there are implicit clues.

You guys are really failing on this game. It's nothing to be ashamed of- it tends to happen a lot these days. I'm sort of disappointed in all of you for not ending this game sooner. I had a really epic Harry Potter game that I wanted to get out before the movie, but alas, that will die forever. (For the right price it can be bought off of me- send me a PM :P)

ANYWAY, I thought I'd give you guys some help. Per my own tradition, I've made a list of some of the most active assassinator players in recent memory (and a few from awhile ago) and narrowed them down, one by one, until there's a pretty solid group of just a few players. Of course, it conflicts with Paradox's list, because life just isn't that easy.

I included in my factors whether or not they had been targeted or accused (or are dead), the amount of artistic license they've taken in prior games, or, the amount I would expect them to take, activity level, and of course, whether or not Alpha would pick them.
Topping my list is [i]amerikestrel[/i], who has remained active despite giving up the officer spot and did take some amount of artistic license with his previous game. He has been targeted, but with a fairly simple clue while he was an officer. Make of that what you will.
Also near the top of my list is [i]RandomPerson[/i]. RandomPerson doesn't have much going against his being the assassinator, excepting the fact that his stories aren't quite this involved (though they have been entertaining). Also note he has never used an introduction.
[i]Haverstall [/i]- I don't think he's quite as artistic as this assassinator. It's a big question mark.
[i]kjhsscioly [/i]- The ultimate grey area: Not too active, and not quite this artistic. Can kjhs go from having no ciphers in one game to many in the next?
[i]Prelude to Death[/i] - I don't know much about prelude to death. Sorry :/
[i]ophiophagus [/i]and [i]IdahoSciGuy [/i]- Both fairly inactive. IdahoSciGuy is more likely because he likes to tell the stories, and ophiophagus didn't in his last game.
[i]EpicFailOlympian [/i]- Not very active (But... he's hidden) but would DEFINITELY take the artistic license.

Probably not.

And for anyone wondering why I didn't put myself on the list, I'll say this: I'm not dumb enough to target myself when I'm not an officer. Get that idea out of your mind.

It would make sense if it were Prelude to Death, because kill has an introduction, or there is a prelude to each death.

Most kills have some sort of story behind them, though recently that trend has fallen by the wayside.

I noticed that there was a person on both Paradox's and Z's list.

So

I accuse RandomPerson for the reasons stated by Paradox21.
