Thanks for playing Tariq and MonorailFan! I’ll say more in the conclusion, but I echo @jluck‘s sentiment. Also I think I got my nighttime picture issues sorted out. They look much better, especially the shot of Clifford in the sand.

DAY 5 The jury was in, and Amanda Callahan (Khscarymovie4) was out. Chief McCain briskly took her away for questioning. Night found Brock Martin (Tariq j) sitting quietly on a bench, wondering who to interview for the next segment on his show. "You can interview me!" said a dark figure, appearing suddenly to Brock's side. "Really?" "No, you can't! I hate paparazzi!" With that, a muffled gunshot silenced the legendary voice of radio forever. Downtown, Clifford Schauer (LegoMonorailFan) was making his last delivery of the day, and of his life, though he didn't know it yet. "Damn! This box is heavy!" He rapped loudly on the door to rouse whatever sleeping soul lay within. Instead of a kindly old lady or disgruntled deliveryman, Clifford got a shotgun in the face. "This will teach you for not keeping your nose out of other people's business!" Clifford's body tumbled over the railings, and the sand around him slowly turned red as a grim reminder not to cross the crime families of Brickton, Brickslyvania. The sun rose, and Judge Justuss addressed the six remaining members of the jury. "Morning fellas. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news first: there's few enough of you left that we can move from the sidewalk to the conference room. That's neat, and should stop my arthritis from flaring up. Oh, and Brock was another member of the Moletti Crime Family. Unfortunately, Amanda and Clifford were both Innocent Townsfolk. I can't help but notice we still haven't caught any of Sleaze's crew - the Ballagios. Please do better today, I fear we may be fast running out of time."

Whoops- forgot about this thread. Here you go, clone trooper for scale: Very cool! I've put together the AT-ST snap kit from Bandai, very impressed with that one even though I didn't paint it. I should really go back and do that some day.

Why you’re welcome! I try my best.

Thanks for playing Forresto! Unfortunately, I'm afraid this might spell the end of your illegal booze operation.

Sounds interesting - Secret Enemies was OK, but I think Mafia is a lot more engaging with more opportunities for more players. As KotZ said on the deadboard (which I'm sure some of you will be seeing very soon ) another completely anonymous game like @Hinckley's Harriet Slutter could have potential for a bigger turnout since older players don't have to worry about being metagamed - it's somewhat of a fresh start. But who am I kidding, I'll still sign up no matter what the game is.

You may now vote. With 10 jurors remaining, a majority of 6 is required for a lynch. Approximately 48 hours remain in the day.

Interesting idea. Sounds alright to me, though there’s not much point to playing once the Senpai is dead. I think it would be somewhat harder to stay invested in the game when you’re still alive but it’s impossible to meet your win condition, especially if the Senpai dies day 1 or 2. Maybe they commit suicide when the Senpai dies, like Dragonfire/Comrade Commander in Shield v. Hydra.

Thanks for playing KotZ and fhomess! I hope you follow the rest of the game, it’s been great having you. On a side note, I’d love to hear any tips for taking shots that are supposed to be happening at night. Right now I’ve been taking them in dim light and exaggerating the shadows/lowering the brightness in Aviary, with mixed results. The ones from the first night and KotZ’s death turned out all right, but not so much fhomess’. (But that may be in part due to glare off the DBG tiles revealing just how dusty my sidewalks are!!) Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!

DAY 3 Dusk fell as Alan Andrews (KotZ) returned from a long day of deliberation in the courthouse. "I hope this trial gets over soon so I can get back to my trees... I love trees. They're really the only ones that understand me." He was approached by a dark figure. "What can I do for you, stranger?" The shadow replied only with a blast from his shotgun. The shadow smiled grimly as Alan slumped forward. "Sorry Alan, but it looks like you've chopped your last tree." Elsewhere, Harry Oldman (fhomess) looked for somewhere to refill his dwindling supply of booze. "Dez said his shop should be somewhere around here..." A dark figure emerged from an alleyway, and Harry turned to face him. "You know where I can find Mr. Hunter's legitimate storefront enterprise? I've been looking every-" He was interrupted with a shotgun shell that narrowly missed him, shattering his bottle instead. "Hey-!" The second shot found its mark, bringing the story of the grizzled vet to a grizzly end as his blood mixed with shards of broken glass on the cold sidewalk. Morning came and the judge addressed the remaining jurors. "Gentlemen and women of the jury, I have some terrible news. Two of our own, Mr. Oldman and Mr. Andrews, were found dead last night. The police are investigating their deaths as homicides, and urge anyone with information to come forward. A thorough examination of their bodies has lent us some important information, however - Mr. Oldman was a loyal member of the Town. Even more troubling is our results on Mr. Andrews. He was affiliated with neither the town nor Sleaze's crew, but rather their rival the Moletti Crime Family. Make of that what you will, but it may have serious repercussions for the rest of our trial. Please, bring the chief and I whatever monster is responsible for the deaths of these men. You are dismissed."
