So

I accuse RandomPerson for the reasons stated by Paradox21.
I'm flattered by being considered competent enough to be as long running as this sassy, and to be accused again and again despite withdrawing form the games for months.

But no, I'm afraid it isn't me. Sorry guys.

[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.

Yeah, I can assure you I'm nowhere as creative as this sassy has been.

I am still here. I have not suffered a sudden existence failure, no matter what you may wish. I am neither Luo nor RandomPerson. You are down to three, and three only, accusations.

I judge that the officers wish to play on, and as such, here is the next kill clue, accompanied by an identity clue.

Kill clue, somewhat of a literary treasure hunt [X marks the spot!]:
-X-- ---- : Author sharing his name with a prominent NYSO school writes about a sailor going on a revenge mission that ultimately ends in disaster
--- ----- X------- : A modern, fantasy retelling of John Milton's Paradise Lost [complete with daemons]
--- ---------- -- --- --- -- --- ----X--- : An interstellar quest for...lunch.

---X- -- There's no way out of this book, which describes WWII in gleefully non-chronological order
-X-------- --- : A man decides to read books instead of burning them
------ -------- ---X--- ----- --- --- : A fantastical submarine adventures around the world, captained by a man who shares his name with a lost clownfish
------X : A historical novel by "Dr. Ow" [hint: think laterally a litte bit on this], shares it's name with a popular music style around the turn of the century
Identity clue, in addition I will tell you that the revolver has nothing to do with anything. I thought of it for winner's kill story, liked the idea, and kept it:
I cast my eye on the starry heavens above and the once-verdant earth below
Glowering at all those who stand in my way
I may have chosen to lead
But the path I follow is not my own
I vow once more to let the earth start over in a better state
Existing as it once was at the dawn of civilization

First one: Moby pigeon
2nd one: His Dark Materials
4th one:Catch-22
5th one: Fahrenheit 911
6th one: Ragtime
Edit 1: You all know what the butterfly stands for.
The X's spell out:

O
M
E
T
A
G
E

Don't exactly know what it's supposed to spell out, but have fun.

There isn't an "M" in "goatee".
