OK, so im working on a hunch, but im going to look through the past couple assassinator games and see if i can find anyone that matches these clues. this might turn out as a waste of time, but it's worth a shot.

I'm actually organizing some statistics based on the games... I'll have them ready hopefully by the end of the week.

Whats your theory? Someone that has played in the past couple of games might be able to provide some useful insight...

Something that might be useful or it could be way off, but a tinytwo kinda looks like a lower case "a". So it could be:
I AM Z=Z a + C

but then what about the = and the +? They seem a bit random to throw in there... plus there's the second Z...

Also, I AM THE ZAC doesn't make too much sense

Well, you never know who might be the assassinator ;)

As for guesses, I think I might be on to something with EASTstroudsburg13. heres why:

1. Is an avid chess player.
2. Apparently chess is one of his favorite hobbies.
3. If number two is true, one would expect to see him post a lot more than what he has so far.

purely circumstantial, I know.

EDIT: I was thinking maybe there was a character clue(i.e. adding up the characters in the clue,subtracting some, etc), but i think i did my math wrong XD. anyways, here it is.

As for the clue,

What if the clues were made random to throw us off? what if instead of the meaning of the clues, we need to look at the character count...
If you add up all the characters that were not taken out for being "not required" you get the number 19

Since the word "letter" is unneccesary, take out those 6 letters. you now have 13.

It's a long shot, but it's all i could come with very quickly.
And the randomness of the clues could point to randomperson....
just some thoughts XD
EDIT2: Also, East is in the C Division, but that might not be what the "c" means.
