SciOly Assassination 120: World War III

Post by Assassinator »

I am back! After I was brutally humiliated during SciOly Assassination #119, I have returned, stronger than ever. after a lot of controversy in my state in the forums

Assassins kill. And the best assassins kill the most people. So I have developed an ultra-powerful atomic bomb, strong enough to eradicate the whole world with the press of a button... Try to stop me now, sciolyers.

Same rules as the last game:

1. The officers will be the next five people who post in the forum expressing their interest. 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 made two incorrect accusations, he may not accuse or protect anyone, and the next aspiring officer who can post a correct answer to the clue can be permitted to 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 two accusations.
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.

Joining b/c senior year is ending in 2 weeks and I'm bored.

First thoughts: "Sciolyer" was used in Assassination 116 by NeilMehta (who is from NY) but he doesn't use small font size, which Anomaly, dxu, and TheChiScientist seem to use most often. It would be hilarious if TheChiScientist were Sassy again this round (is that even a possibility?)

JasperKota is also from NY and used "sciolyers" in Assassination 115 and she has occassionally used small font size (viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10807&p=317420&hil ... rs#p317420 and search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&auth ... 3&start=60), specifically size 50 as is used in this post. JasperKota has also used ellipses in her posts. However, Sassy said "I am back" and JasperKota only? uses contractions, and JasperKota was last active on 4/15 (2 days before Sassy posted).

Anyways this (search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keyw ... s&start=15) is a list of everyone who has said "sciolyers" at some point.

Edit: disregard my previous edit; Name is also from NY, has said "assassin" instead of assassinator/Sassy, was last active at 3:44 (3 minutes before Sassy posted), and has used small font size (but not size 50). The only issue is that the last game was Name's first, so I'm not sure why Anomaly would choose Name ... I'm honestly getting really paranoid so someone please pick up ...

Ultimately, are we sure that Sassy is from NY?
