SciOly Assassination 115: Pictures at an Exhibition

[Assassinator]

It's late into the night and you're preparing paintings for the biennial exhibition at the North Dakota Museum Of Art the following day. As you near the last shipment of paintings that need framing, one catches your eye. "No way!" You briefly rejoice at the sight of a painting thought to be lost to history. "Could it really be by the Ich. Wunder?" As you tear back its dusty brown paper wrapping to verify its authenticity, you notice a deep red monogram printed on the margin of its canvas. By the night's end, you've come across five other similarly printed monograms: D-R-U-M-E-R. Your already dim bulb begins to flicker, and you get an eerie feeling you are being watched...

The rules for this game are mostly similar to past games, with some changes.
1. The officers will be the next five people who post in the forum expressing their interest along with the name of any artwork. Put in a bit of thought before posting. If you have not been around for a while, it is less likely that you will be able to identify me.
2. There will be no informants, but civilians may post.
3. I will provide clues which plainly point to my next victim, and occasionally to myself.
4. Each clue will last at least 48 hours unless explicitly said otherwise, after which I will make my kill.
5. People will die. However, there are some exceptions. I will not kill administrators or moderators without their express permission. In return, I ask that they not reveal my identity.
6. Officers may either protect one person per clue or make an accusation as to my identity, but not both.
7. Once an officer has run out of accusations to use, he may not accuse or protect anyone, and the next aspiring officer who can post a correct answer to the clue can be permitted take the vacant spot.
8. When accusing someone of being Assassinator you must use the following template "I accuse (place name here) because (give reason here)." If you don't use this template when accusing the accusation won't count. In addition to being used for accusations, this format MUST also be used for protections or those will not count, even if the protection is cast on the correct user.
9. If I do not reply in 7 days after all protects are made, each officer gets a free accusation. However, that accusation must be made next time the user posts and cannot be stored as an extra one to use later.
10. Once "killed," a user may not post about the identity of the assassinator. Absolutely no ghosts at all, or I might consider killing you twice.
11. Each officer begins with one accusation. You will earn an accusation with each correct protection.
12. I win after 12 incorrect accusations have been made, but the number needed to win goes down by one with each kill, or I win if I kill all the officers before you figure out who I am. The officers win if you correctly identify me before this happens.
13. I may or may not continue to post with my true account, and may provide hints there.
14. If I see it fit, I may decide to add rules during the game.

When you realize that most of the art you know are statues that are pokestops...

Ooh this looks cool! Unfortunately since I already know Sassy, I'll sit out as officer but I'll help out with clues as needed! (Or I'll try assuming my college schedule isn't too crazy...)

I wish I could be an officer, but I don't have the time right now. I'll try to help when I can though!
