SciOly Assassination 114: The Amazing Race Death Edition

[Assassinator]

The SciOlyians of the year 2046 decided to be intrepid and build a time machine, sending them back to the year 1846 in a small town called Independence, Missouri. Little did they know, though, as they arrange a wagon train and make sure they have enough supplies for the trip ahead, that this mysterious character called Assassinator who’s speaking to you right now managed to sneak aboard and go with them. The SciOlyians receive a message from said character which says “Reach the destination and receive a big reward in the form of a large dog. But beware of booby traps throughout the path and make sure to stay alert at all times.” The adventurers, not aware that they’re on a TV show called The Amazing Race: Death Edition, shrug it off and go for the Promised Land.

Here are the rules for this version of Assassinator:
1. The officers will be the next five people who post that they want to be an officer. 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. Officers may only protect or accuse per round; they may not do both. If they attempt to do both, that request will be ignored.
5. Once an 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. 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.
9. Once "killed" a user may not post about the identity of the assassinator.
10. Non officers may post.
11. Each clue will last 48 hours, after which the Assassinator will kill.
12. If the Assassinator does 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.
13. Each officer begins with one accusation. You will earn an accusation with each correct protection.
14. The Assassinator wins after 12 incorrect accusations have been made, but the number needed to win goes down by one with each kill. In addition, if all the officers are killed before that point, the Assassinator will automatically win as well.
15. The Assassinator reserves the right to add to these rules as he deems necessary.

To start out, feel free to post below if you want to be an officer. I’ll see you guys shortly - as in by the river.
