Shadows

California, Sweden. I thought Jack Stone was a 4+ product. That's a little creepy. That's a good point. We've failed to take into account how the potential heat from it would interact with local vegetation. I wonder if pruning and shearing would be a good idea before using this... I wonder if this is moisture resistant. It can get awfully wet in there.

Oh, right. I CONFESS! I killed what's-his-name! After standing in the hall trying to talk to that witch Florence, I bashed Morrison in the head with a barrel and then ran, willy-nilly down the hall until I found what's-his-name and I stabbed him with my knife, the one I so sneakily procured without anyone knowing except everyone who saw me do it, which was basically all of you. Why did I do it? Because I'm crazy! CRAZY I TELL YOU! *pulls out his knife* Shouldn't I have gotten rid of this already? Oh well, no matter. Father, if you would be so kind as to pull out your gun, I guess we're going to have to kill all of them and make our escape, assuming we can ever find the rest of the treasure. Let's go! *walks over to whatever passes for furniture in this place and sits down, laughing his damn head off at the stupidity of the people around him*

Wonder if ours still does...

Welcome to Eurobricks! You've got that right, I've always been a fan of your minis and am incredibly pleased to see that you have finally joined us! I don't think you'll have any problem at all fitting into our community. The full range is welcome here, the only limit is imagination itself. A great introduction! Thanks for sharing it and for joining us. We hope to see a lot more from you.

It's most disturbing. If Jimmy was entrusted with the ability to protect people and failed to do so, one has to wonder what he was really up to. I was the person who tried to speak to Mme. Florence, but her obvious guilt drove her to lock the door. Morrison, the corrupt cop, interrupted and she was going to let him in, since obviously they are working together somehow, but I hit him in the head with a barrel. Imagine my surprise when a large ruby dropped out of his pocket and onto the ground. *holds out a large ruby* See? It's amazing! I told you, this place is filled with treasure, and I think he knows where it is! I want to search 'Cheif' Morrison's room, right now, and I'd like some assistance with it for safety.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program for this announcement. Now showing on Channel 3, "EB News Presents: Walrus Keeper ... Live from Mystical Castle!" We now resume our regularly scheduled program, already in progress. *looks around* Vote: Dragonator / King of the Dragons!

*Announcer Voice* Three days ago, the people of this castle made a critical mistake and sentenced a dashingly handsome Wizard to death. Now, he's back from the dead to bring you salvation an interview! Evening, all! I'm your host, Ambassador Vipont Shadows, and I'm here to bring you another exciting episode of EB News Presents! This will be a very special episode, full of excitement and magic! I know the good people of Matadoer are big magic fans, it practically brings them to a riotous uproar. Look here, it's a local. He looks to be the castle fool. Oh, it's Staudie. I knew that. Hey boss! And now, our very special guest, Walrus Keeper! Hi everyone! Let's get this interview started! Not yet, fool, I'd like to introduce our esteemed audience and perhaps start the festivities with a few little tricks. Ut oh. Aren't they a lovely looking bunch? I recognise the King and Queen, of course, as well as several other high ranked members of the court. Greetings, all! Hmmm? You seem familiar for some reason. No idea what you're talking about, I'm just a local dignitary who happens to dress like a dragon, but it doesn't mean anything. *cough* Right. Well, nice meeting you, but we do have a show to put on here. I should be going then. Yes, nice of you to stop in and all. Why does he look so familiar? Oh well, no matter. And now the part of the show that everyone has been waiting for! The interview? Noooooo... Magic time! Yay! *audience* Booooo! Tough crowd, let's see if I can soften them up a bit. *POOF!* *RIBBIT* And now for one of my popular tricks over the years ... I'll turn this sparkling water... ... into wine! Oh God, I can't take any more of this! That's not what she said last night, folks. Why, I never! She did say that... at first. And now for my next trick, I'll need a willing volunteer. I know who that will be if she doesn't want me sharing details of last night. I'll volunteer! Somehow, I knew that. Just step right in the box and we'll get started. What's that noise I hear? Just the tools of the trade. Ooooh, it tickles. Oops. Well, some people just fall to pieces so easily... Cleanup on aisle 3! I'll get that, sir. How do you manage to end up in every episode? Just popular, I guess. That's my cue to start the interview! Huh? Oh, I was falling asleep. Go ahead. Q. Your a Fish. *sizzle* Ow, it burns, it burns! I... Q. Mind explaining your name, and what your SF is doing to that poor walrus! Well, to be honest, it was one of those "it seemed like a good idea at the time" things. I'm seriously thinking of changing my name. Apart from highlighting my relationship with the walrus, there's no real reason behind it. As for what I'm doing to "that poor walrus", don't let his friendly tusked face fool you. He has to be kept in check at all times, or his full walrus powers will be unleashed upon an unsuspecting world, and I dare not let that happen again... Changing your name? What gives you the idea we let people change their names? Weren't you previously ImperialShadows? Who? Q. Do you collect Lego, or just play around with Sinner's. Sinner's Lego I mean. I have considered buying Lego sets for myself, but there's really no need. I see the burgeoning collection of Lego in Sieggo's room/office as our Lego, but luckily for sweetie I haven't gotten around to making anything. I'm sure he won't mind though when I do. It's funny, when Sieggo first came out of the closet about his Lego obsession, he had to fight hard and long to get me to agree to buy Lego sets (I was a bit slow to figure out what was going on ). But now I'm all like "aw wow, we've got to get this set sweetie, and wow, is that a conquistador helmet? We've got to get that!!", so he has a much easier time of it these days. Aw, he came out of the closet. Q. Would you call yourself a SheFol? Nah, AFOL's fine. It's a cool name, I dig it, and we're all one big happy family, right?? Q. What are your favourite sets? That's so hard to pick. I guess I have a soft spot for the classic space sets, as I saved up all my pocket money as a kid and bought Radar truck (889) and Shovel buggy (6821). Some of the Star Wars sets are very compelling, like Home One, Echo Base and Death Star, and the new Indy sets give me the warm and fuzzies too. Can't wait for Prince of Persia...hmm, ostriches... Q. What is your Favourite Theme? I am a sucker for cute mini-figs, and so get excited by any set that includes good figs. Okay, now I'll try to pick a particular theme...argh, no, it's too hard, they're all so good! Q. Why did you join EB? In between hearing about EB all the time, and glancing over the walrus' shoulder every now and again (any more than that, and he gets irritable ), I found more and more I wanted to join the EB community and share my views. Q. What do you think of EB as a whole? EB is a great community. I love the quirky humour and creativity of the site. I think the fact that people are being brought together by their mutual love of Lego creates a zany kind of positivity that gives me hope for the future. It even brings a tear to my eye on occasion...er, excuse me a moment please...sniff... Q. Are there any Moc's you have made, or do you critizise Sinner's work and help him improve his Mocs? To my complete embarrassment, I haven't made anything yet. I see these great MOCs on the site, and I'm not contributing anything other than my admiration...sigh. Hopefully I'll find time soon to throw something together, but then I'll be all like, "oh, that's lame compared to a Siegfried MOC, a Hinckley MOC, or a Svelte MOC...argh, back to the drawing board!!". Maybe after we move... As for offering constructive criticism, Sieggo can be a bit sensitive about that (such an artist ), so I tread very cautiously whenever he asks for my opinion... Q. Can we see your lair? Please? Funny you should ask, we're actually in the process of moving, so the lair is steadily being organised and semi-packed. Sieggo has offered to take some photos when its at a better stage...stay tuned for that one... Will he be in a dress this time? Q. Who should we Interview Next? In light of his recent promotion to regulator, I volunteer Svelte! Frogboy? Yeah, maybe. So, there you have it everyone, a fascinating look at the keeper of everyone's favourite walrus, and one of our newest converts to AFOLdom. It's a wonderful thing, isn't it? So we're done now? Not quite! I have one more trick! Oh dear. That was pretty good, but why is the bunny so big? They refuse to make enough system scale animals. What does that mean? Nevermind. Ut oh, he's hungry! How can you tell? Just trust me! Save me! I'll save you, dear! Well, look at that, a walrus saving a damsel in distress from a bunny. Only on EB News. No no, that's... Exclusively on EB News!™ Right. Let's get out of here, these people are weird. Us, she's married to a walrus! So now that we're done... Yeah? Why is that creepy guy staring at us like that? I'm not really sure, but I swear he looks familiar to me... *camera fades*

Nope. IF LEGO decides to go with a PotC line to replace Pirates, it will be discussed in the Pirates Forum, not in licensed. As a result, all speculation on that matter will also be discussed there. Any PotC topics that appear in licensed will be moved to Pirates, just like this one. Fleshie pirates. Doesn't need a poll, it needs discussion. Without a poll, people can express their opinions, with a poll they just vote and run. We like discussion. As for the duplicate, it's gone.

Simply announcing the roles you intend to use tells a good player exactly what to expect in your game, so yeah, it wasn't a good idea and it does speak to your ability to determine what is appropriate to say at what time. That is the host's #1 priority. So yeah, it matters.

Since they clearly aren't important enough to have a page of their own, perhaps they shouldn't have a tag, either. *goes off to remove a certain Dragon shield tag, since it's no longer necessary*

That's clearly criminal, but what does it say about the Black Knights and Dragon Knights? Surely it must have a nice writeup for them.

This man is a sorcerer, only here to destroy this topic with his accusations and misdirection! From StarWars.com For the associated video, wampa stompa here. Same old witch, same old story. Lying, my megablocks.

Absolutely! I've always wished that they hadn't cut the scene where C-3PO rips the warning label off the room housing the captured wampas, the room that snowtroopers foolishly rush into later. I just know that hilarity ensued.

I have a knife and I know things that can only benefit the one of you who is here for the treasure and I'm willing to deal, so I feel fairly secure. Oh, and I have a confession, father... you have pretty eyes. Maybe we can sit together tonight?

I am going to explain this again so we're absolutely clear. Outline the game without telling anything that shouldn't be revealed to everyone. If you send details to a member of staff, they would no longer be eligible to play, so we'd like to avoid that. Think of it like a movie trailer. Let's try The Empire Strikes Back. Good Trailer: It opens with snowspeeders flying in formation, star destroyers in space, explosions, you see Luke and Vader fighting, people running around a mysterious place with white hallways, stormtroopers shooting, a swampy scene with eerie lighting, hints of things to come but no details. Bad Trailer: I'm Yoda, I was a Jedi Master for 800 years. Oh, and Darth Vader is your dad. And Han, don't bother rushing to save him, he's getting frozen but you'll free him in the next movie. Did I mention you've been kissing your sister? See the subtle difference? If you can't present a good outline of your game without giving anything away, you aren't going to be able to host it without the same problem and it'll suck. We don't want that kind of suck.

When dealing with a control freak, it's often best to just nod and moan smile.

FUTURE GAME CONSIDERATION GUIDELINES To insure a quality playing experience, we here at the Mafia Guild will be carefully reviewing all requests to host new games. To guarantee fairness, a request should be made in this topic in the form of a vague outline of the basis of the game and suitable for all potential players to read. At that time, we will review your playing and posting history to determine if you appear to have the necessary skills to successfully host such a game and you will be added to the queue. Please indicate the timeframe in which you expect to be ready to host and we will attempt to adjust the schedule accordingly. If you wish to be considered for a game and have not already been added to the list, you will need to submit that outline. Don't say, "but I asked on page 182" or "but but but blah blah blah blubber blubber blubber" or I'll kick you in the face. Thank you for your cooperation! APPROVED! No summary needed. You are officially added to the list. I want in. So does Hinck. Sadly, Trexx does appear to have died in a tragic internet incident with sketchy details. I was going to do the writing for that game and he was going to photograph it. At this stage, it's permanently on hold, but should the occasion arise, I'll just bump it right ahead of whoever is next. I'm playing it. Your spelling is much like Hinck's skills as a lover. Anyone who doesn't get that joke and the past mafia reference it is based upon is not eligible to ever run a game. And no explaining it, either.

I was drugged, I have a witness, and I know that Florence delivered the tea, but you defend whoever you wish, just remember that it makes you look bad if they are guilty. As an officer of the court, I know that she was highly suspected in the death of her previous employer (hmmm, hiring her seems to result in people dying) but certain parts of the evidence were ruined by an inept (or bribed) police officer who has a very questionable reputation. You can probably figure out who that is. Plane? Are you completely mad? I realise you're concerned about your old secrets getting out, but as they don't involve me, it won't do you any good to try to manipulate me with your bizarre ramblings and defense of Florence.

I knew we forgot something at the end of that game.

Yeah, when I lose, my team loses. Work on that, people, try to break the pattern. And don't get started on track records or I'll kick you in your metagaming pants.

Always a vanity shot from Draggy. Fun game, guys! Next time, trust me when I say I'm loyal.

I agree, my tea was definitely drugged and now I'm being told odd things by Athranhart who is defending Florence a little too vigorously. I think we should watch them both closely.

I'l like to take a large knife and a serving fork and hide them in my jacket. I'd then like to rummage through the desk, discretely.

I'd like to pay a visit to the storage area and search through what is there. It seems reasonable to believe that some clue may be held within those things that hadn't yet been unpacked or utilized in the house. Anyone care to go with me? I do think there is some safety in numbers.

So true. I always forget that he lives a day in the future. Though knowing him, he probably has some kind of class on Saturday, he's a busy little Dragonfreak (wait... aren't they the villains in this play?) What do you think?
