And with that RandomPerson dies, and any 'hunches' he may have die with him. As for the clue, it was much simpler than you guys thought, there were NO CIPHERS involved. After splitting the number into 100907 and 041911, you might have realized that these look like dates.. Well, 10/09/07 and 04/19/11 were the release dates of Portal 1 and 2 respectively; Random's avatar is from Portal...
Technically yes, but you play a dangerous risk doing this. Nothing prevents me from telling the officers behind the scene, you would never know. I consider myself ethical so I probably won't anyway, but if it looks like you are going to win I don't know what I'll do.

Shame really, I try to do the nice thing by not divulging (I'd be incredibly surprised if I was wrong at this point, the signs are pretty obvious officers). Well have fun, I hear the fellow zombies have a pokemon club, I might just join that.
Also, that is a faulty clue, brobo's avatar also refers to portal. I expected better from you.
EDIT: It doesn't even necessarily have to refer to avatars in the first place. It could also refer to Infinity Flat, QuantumLeaper, FullMetalMaple. All of them have mentioned portal in the past week or so. Clever idea, but too ambiguous
Its gh obviously!!!!

Just an observation, the clue is set up sort of strangely. Some of the lines start in the middle of a sentence, which makes me think there's a reason for that. But if you put together the first letters of each line you get JPOHBT, which makes little sense. Also the part about lassos, which makes me think the setup and the clue itself are connected.

Infinity and quantum have never posted on an assassination thread, and they are newer members, it's unlikely that I would ever target someone like that. I don't recall FMM mentioning Portal, but I don't think she's ever been involved in an assassination either. As for brobo, yeah, but no one was even close to the answer, I would have given it to them if they had protected brobo. As for the current clue, here's a hint: "look to the ancients".
How did you know it was me???
BWhat do they all have the same of?
AThe Lady died with him but was not born until long after, in 1954.
Correction: A + B + [space] + [Two letters, both uppercase]
If the Lady were real, she would not have died 362 years before she was born.

I wouldn't say I've ever really been involved. I sort of vaguely keep up with the happenings, but I've never really attempted to be all that involved, minus last game. Even then, I didn't say who my second guess was. *shrugs*

From YDRC. I was actually listening to a song from Portal when you said you killed RandomPerson...

Quadratic should be able to confirm or deny your suspicions, for a post is only shown as edited if the post was edited after another post was made (I learned this from reading posts and finding discrepancies in which a person says that they edited the post while the post isn't shown as edited. I also learned about this from experience.). If not, Miningtan would definitely have seen Littleboy's post (He/she responded to Quadratic's post.), but I don't think that it took Quadratic four minutes to make his post.
1. THis- I never saw Littleboy's post saying that.
2. I do remember Littleboy protecting someone.
he did post it but I forgot what was after it

And with that I steal another life, this time it is brobo's. You were right to assume that the wierd line structure was important; to solve the clue you were to take the NOUNS in every sentence that began with an uncapitalized letter (which happened to be every other sentence). These nouns: foot, mouth, quail chick, foot, quail chick, spell out brobo in hieroglyphics (although sometimes lasso is used in place of quail chick for the letter o, indicated by my note at the bottom). My additional hint of look to the ancients might have pointed you to the Egyptians, or you could have just googled lasso and quail chick in the same sentence and you will immediately get results about hieroglyphics.
Now for an identity clue: Poltergeist prank.
BWhat do they all have the same of?
AThe Lady died with him but was not born until long after, in 1954.
Correction: A + B + [space] + [Two letters, both uppercase]
If the Lady were real, she would not have died 362 years before she was born.

As for your new kill clue, note that this one is easier than the previous two, so you might just solve it:
