Scioly Assassination 73: Gunfight at the S.O. Corral

[Assassinator]

Saddle up, pardners. Trouble's a-brewin on the horizon. Mosey on down to the S.O. Corral and see if you can avoid your Tombstone.

1. The Clanton clan will be the next five people who send correct answers to the clue. Each Clanton will have a gun with one bullet or accusation to use. 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 fired three bullets, 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. Each clue will last 36 hours, after which the Assassinator may kill.

12. If the assassinator does not reply in 8 days after all protects are made, each officer gets a free bullet. However that bullet must be fired the next time the user posts and cannot be stored as an extra one to use later.

13. Each officer begins with one bullet. You will earn bullets as you protect correctly

14. The Assassinator wins after 15 missed bullets, but the number needed to win goes down by one with each kill

15. The Assassinator reserves the right to add to these rules as he deems necessary.

Here is the first clue:
I was born on August 14 1851 in Griffin Georgia
I died on November 8 1887
I was a dentist as well as a gunfighter
Who am I?

So, if a protect is unreasonable, the assassinator can kill anyone they wish if the protect is not fixed? I'm a little confused on that one, cause i really hope thats not what you were implying there, sassy.

BTW, I LOVE the theme. Totally looking forward to a good game

After considering the problems it may cause, I have decided to remove rule 15. It was not intended to provoke any cheating on my part.

PM sent. Awesome.

What is the point of this?

To win.

PM sent.

So this means we have reasonable protects? This seems a bit excessive, because what if we solved the clue already, but the officers have no one to protect? It's kinda hard to make logical protects of the wrong people when the correct target is known.

Anyway, looking forward to a good game.

EDIT 1:

Rule 8? Really? I actually like reading those. But I guess when everyone is getting killed by bullets, it could get monotonous.

Sweet, officer 3. I dunno why I got myself into this before an additional 3 AP tests, so expect (slightly) limited involvement until the 13th from me.
