Scioly Assassination 90: The Theory

[Assassinator]

You guys need major help. Put Google and other search systems away.
As, I reach into my magical bag of hints and tricks, I pull out a thesaurus. Guess that is all you need.
Due to the slow pace of this game, clue lengths are being shortened to 2 days. This will take affect next clue.

Well then, I accuse foreverphysics for reasons stated above and earlier than that, and just to get it out of the way in the case that it's wrong, since someone would have done it eventually anyways. I have the feeling those hints are there to purposely distract us though.

[Assassinator]

Silly kids, I am not foreverphysics. I am the Assassinator.
That is one black mark. 14 more and my theories will be correct.

...Wow. I am amazed. You know, if I'm assassinator, I wouldn't be acting like this. You guys should know; you've seen me play game 86 like nobody's business.
But seriously, there are other reasons for me not wanting to be officer. Believe me, I would if I could.

So that essentially rules out lllazar, amerikestrel, and paleonaps.

Roast duck sounds pleasant.

Duck is also a synonym for avoid, so that could potentially mean the illusionist. Thesaurus for dock. Thesaurus for duck. Thesaurus for arrow. Thesaurus for pluck.

Maybe we need to find synonyms for the p and d words?
Or maybe:
Two fat ducks next to a pair of docks?

Why am I thinking twototwenty?

Forever, when you were sassy during nationals, you were talking to me in person at opening ceremonies telling me "I'm not sassy!!" or "I cannot believe people think it is me!".

I protect illusionist because of liutony66's reasoning.

[liutony66]

I protect amerikestrel because of the wood duck in the ornithology thread.

[Cedavis6]

Maybe we need to find opposites?
Gah, but what words?
