I will not be as kind as my predecesor was, he was too careless. I simply took on this challenge because i wish to wreak havoc.
Chaos. Disorder. Yes, I like them very much.
To my chagrin, however, it seems some order must be had before total anarchy can be reached. Rules and regularions, how I despise them.
1. The officers will be the next five people who send in correct answers to the clue. Put in a bit of thought before answering. If you have not been around for awhile, it is less likely that you will be able to identify me.
2. Non-officers 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. Officers may die, but an officer may protect another officer. Protections must use the following template, "I protect <username> because..." A reason must be provided, but reasons are not required to be reasonable.
5. Once an officer has made three incorrect accusations, he or she may not accuse or protect anyone.
6. The Assassinator will provide clues that plainly point to his next victim, and occasionally to himself.
7. The Assassinator may continue to post with his true account, and may provide hints there.
8. When accusing someone of being assassinator, the accusing officer must use the following template, "I accuse <username> because..." Again, a reason must be provided, but reasons are not required to be reasonable.
9. Once "killed", a user may not make any statements concerning the identity of the Assassinator.
10. The Assassinator may kill after forty-eight hours or after all protections have been made, whichever comes first.
11. If the Assassinator does not reply in 7 days after all protects are made, each officer receives a free accusation. It can be saved to be used later.
12. Each officer starts with one accusation, and can earn accusations as they protect correctly. Accusations are transferrable, but the transfer must be declared.
13. The Assassinator wins after 15 total incorrect accusations have been made, but the number required goes down by one with each kill.
14. The Assassinator is not one of the officers.
15. The Assassinator reserves the right to add to these rules as he deems necessary.
Pay attention to the rule changes. I, like my forerunner, am not an officer. The double agent rule was discarded because it is all to easy to "game the system," as it were, and because of this the number of kills required for me to win has gone back down to 15 and the number of times an officer may accuse incorrectly has gone back down to 3.
Your clue is:
I have a severe affliction, but it only kicks in if it's properly done. This has also plagued all of my predecessors. It’s called
-phobia.
What ails me?
And remember, whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you... stranger.
