SciOly Assassination 105.5: Death by Death, A Bland Title

Post by Assassinator »

My fellow scioly.org users, you may think I'm the person you call "sassy" and "assasstornado," but I am not. I have killed the Assassinator and proved that Assassinizers are better than Assassinator. That's right, I have killed azuritemalachite. However, something unexpected happened. His ghost started haunting the forum. If he gets annoying enough, I may kill him again! It seems his reincarnation is just like his regular self.

My friend, the jester, left me this gift, the all-American murder. This murder, very much like Asimov's robots, has a few rules it must abide by.
1. The officers will be the first five people to solve the entry clue.
2. The informants will be the next five people to post (besides the officers or people who do not want to be informants). They will replace officers if they get kicked off the squad but not if they (the officers) die.
3. The Assassinizer asks that administrators and moderators not reveal thons identity.
4. The Assassinizer will provide clues which point to thons next victim and occasionally to thonself. The officers can protect other users and accuse the Assassinizer based on these clues.
5. The Assassinizer may or may not continue to post with thons true account, and may or may not provide hints there.
6. When accusing someone of being Assassinizer you must use the following template "I accuse (place name here) because (give reason here)." Reasons must be based off of the identity clues, which will be posted with every third clue. Note that suspicions, on the other hand, do not have to be related to kill clues.
7. Once "killed," a user may not post about the identity of the Assassinizer.
8. Each officer begins with three accusations. If an officer incorrectly accuses three times, thon is kicked off the squad.
9. The Assassinizer wins when either there are no officers left or thon kills 10 people.
10. The Assassinizer will only target people who have posted within a month of the clue's posting and have a relatively high post count unless otherwise stated.
The Assassinizer reserves the right to add or remove to these rules as thon deems necessary without warning.
And now, the entry clue. Please PM me what you think is the answer:
computer abbreviation + past participle of lie + plural noun ending
You only get one guess. If you fail as an officer, you may be eligible as an informant. Clues start in 240 hours or when you get a full set, whichever comes first. Get a move on, or else you won't have a full set!

Note: To prevent problems with identifying me based on my usage of language, I have conformed to the standards of grammar.

This is disappointing. 2 officers and no informants? It seems these games have lost popularity over the years.
