Scioly Assassination 70: Rational Revenge

[Assassinator]

My predecessors have failed—as is expected. They are fools who kill without reason or discretion. But I am different. I have been watching you all. I know your fears. I know who to kill and when. You have underestimated my power. I, the Rational Assassin, will win. You will fail. Let the game begin.

Embedded somewhere within this post is the answer to the following clue.

This creature is an Assassin like myself, but not a rational one.

The first 5 people to PM me the answer to this clue will become officers.
Time is ticking.


1. The police officers will be the next five people who send correct answers to the clue. Put in a bit of thought before posting. If you have not been around for awhile, it is less likely that you will be able to identify me.

2. There will be no "informants", but civilians may post

3. People will die. However, there are some exceptions. I will not kill administrators or moderators. In return, I ask that they not reveal my identity.

4. Police officers may die, but a police officer may protect another police officer.

5. Once a police officer has made three incorrect accusations, he may not accuse or protect anyone.

6. The assassin will provide clues which plainly point to his next victim, and occasionally to himself.

7. The assassin will continue to post with his true account, and may provide hints there.

8. The assassin is now not required to post accounts of his kills.

9. When accusing someone of being Assasinator 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.

10. Once "killed" a user may not make any statements about the identity of the Assasinator.

11. Non officers or informants may post.

12. Each clue will last only one day, after which the Assassinator may kill. You have additional officers due to this rule

13. If the assassinator does not reply in 8 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.

14. Each officer begins with one accusation. You will earn accusations as you protect correctly

15. The Assassinator wins after 15 incorrect accusations have been made, but the number needed to win goes down by one with each kill

16. The Assasinator reserves the right to add to these rules as he deems necessary.

17. Protects will now be required to have "reasonable" reasons. If a protect is deemed unreasonable, that person will have 2 hours to change their protect.

I hope I got it right. Easier than I thought.

[Assassinator]

The officers are as follows:
Mingtian
OPhiophagus
fmtiger
Kokonilly
zyzzyva98

Your first kill clue:

Another name for Calvary. This will lead you to my first victim.

You have approximately 24 hours.

[The Eviscerator]

Just wondering, was the answer time?

Edit: Also, Calvary is another name for Golgortha and means "place of the skull" - Kokonilly?

[paleonaps]

Calvary is also known as Golgotha.

[zyzzyva980]

The final time was 3:58... I was quite shocked that it lasted that long, given the simplicity of the clue.

[Kokonilly]

Is 'calvary' a typo?

[paleonaps]

What was the answer?
EDIT: This could refer to either kestrel, who went to Israel for a while over the summer, or me, because Golgotha was the spot where Jesus was crucified.

[ophiophagus]

I protect Kokonilly because Golgotha means "place of skull" and Koko has a skull for an avatar. The answer to the entry clue was marburg (virus).

[The Eviscerator]

Where was marburg embedded in the post?
Edit: nevermind - there were bolded letters
