Going on the sassy's hint, it seems pretty obvious that he wants us to look up. So there are three things I can think of for this:
1) This literally means look up into the sky, in which case it would point to AlphaTauri or Pleiades. Pleiades should be possible because the sassy looks to be a relatively old member and so was probably here when Pleiades was still active.
2) This has something to do with Ornithology (ducks and look up), which would point to either tuftedtitmouse12 or amerikestrel.
3) He wants us to look up a few posts--five, by the look of it, which would point to 5asdffdsa5. Now, normally I would protect, but 5asdffdsa5 has already been protected--and the sassy said that the protect was wrong.

I don't have any other ideas at present moment, but I'm going to protect in an hour or so to see if anything else comes up.

It might point to me, or zzyzzva again, as we were the people in the storyline just above the clue. I really don't know. Its going to be interesting to see what aparently obvious detail we've all been missing, though.

Argh. I'm going to protect now.
I protect amerikestrel because of his connection to Ornithology, and also because he has been a power player in the past.

i protect PacificGoldenPlover
because of the reference to ornithology

My bad. Stupid google searches...

I believe the target is PacificGoldenPlover because of the reference to ducks, which are birds, and so is a Pacific Golden Plover. The last clue also says look up five times. Five posts above the sassy's is a post that belongs to PacificGoldenPlover.

Nice job, that does appear to be pointing to me.

Well, in that case, I protect myself, since you duck for cover when a Creeper explodes.

Plover was already protected about 4 posts earlier.

Hah, I read through the rules and burst out laughing at rule number 4:

4. Officers may die, but an officer may protect another officer. Protections are required to use the following template, "I protect <FULL username> because..." Reasons are not required to be reasonable. You are allowed to BS your protections.

And I also think that could be a hint to identity. Who here uses the word "BS"?
