Shadows

Given the lack of investigator, inability to determine the final loyalty of the dead, and the confusion over what's a clue, what's a joke, and what's just a plot device, I think it's hilarious. Since it was based completely on revenge and not the game itself, I get to sit back and laugh knowing that at least I didn't screw up, whether I was a spy or not. I'm kind of glad to be on the sidelines now, it should be amusing to keep up with the bumbling and guesswork.

Aw, thanks everyone! I truly appreciate all the kind wishes and words, and we won't even go in to the pictures, though I will note that it's good to see that Captain Green Hair believes as strongly as I do in the old adage, "cleanliness is next to ..." um ... something or other. Sieggy, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

The 2010 line will show up late in the year, hopefully earlier than last time, at least early enough to promote with the Advent calendar. The real hope is that there will be a small supplement to the line for fall 2009, a ship for the Imperials would be a good idea, but as of yet, we haven't heard anything. Keep hoping and keep watching, and keep buying what is out there, it can only improve the odds of things continuing into the next decade.

Yeah, don't be an megablocks, it'll auto-correct.

YEAH! I damn well expect a death scene, and so does my public! It'll be my greatest performance! You know, when I died in Mystery Castle, my only other death, it triggered the end of the game so it was sort of unfulfilling as well. NOW KILL ME RIGHT! Bastards...

*a voice booms out of the ether* Oh, I'll lock it all right, I'll LOCK your FACES!

Splitting the vote again. SlyOwl -1 Erdy -1 Hinckley - 1 Great job, everyone, whether you got points or not. Not a bad showing in the lot.

They aren't foam, they're hard plastic, surprisingly. The same picture inspired me to find out what they were and try to corner the market I managed to get 1. There are a whopping 4 currently listed on BL, it isn't expensive, just hard to find more than 1 from any seller. Good luck!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program for this important NEWS FLASH from the studios of EB News. Discussions are currently taking place to add Zepher to the EB News team as a Guest Reporter until we know the final status of our normal (he's never been considered normal before...) reporter, Staudie. Stay tuned for more details. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress. Well, ok, basically, you missed the part where Francine tells Fred that the baby isn't his, but belongs to an alien from the planet Glarnox 6.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Sithspit! I think we can assume that whoever killed Widanko did this one as well, since we haven't been voting anyone out, which means we're probably down two loyal Rebels. You know... Jedi always come back as ghosts to help out in times of need. HELP US WIDANKO, YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE!

Which he said was day 1. No, I'm not the least bit confused.

As an open offer... anyone who happens to get to a new store opening and picks up the "exclusive" set (not so much the t-shirt, but you never know), get two, then PM me and we'll make a deal for the spare one. Seriously.

If you're trying to do something that involves changing the helmet, you're going to be stuck with the paint method, just don't expect great results. If you're changing torso patterns or want to put a pattern on a new colour, that's definitely a decal job. There are a number of useful tutorials and plenty of great customizers around who can probably lead you in the right direction. No busted flipper, here

Hello all, I'm Gary Greaseman, and I'll be your steward for this exciting trip on the Love Boat Emerald Express. No, not really , I'm just on vacation and wanting to see the sights. All my friends call me "Grease", and I do hope we'll all be good friends before it's all over.

I place a PaB order with each regular order I make, probably 6 a year. So far, I've never had a missing or damaged piece, much to my surprise. I wish they could do as well with the real order. The only disappointment to me is having everything arrive mixed together in a bag, or several bags. I've been spoiled by Bricklink. Otherwise, I'm quite pleased. As I say, I wish I had the same luck with the rest of the order.

PM'd.

Mary is having a baby? Um... I wasn't even in town that week. Whatever week it was. You might have been in town, but that doesn't help either.

BLOGGED! Noooo, I'm kidding. Wow, that's a mess, but made up of lovely individual pieces. It's like an explosion in an art gallery. Please update us when the public works department gets that straightened out and we can safely return to the city.

Seems you mean day 2. Locked!

Brickshelf. For all their issues, they've been good to the community and I don't mind giving them the hits. I have a Flickr account, but find the pages to be incredibly slow loading and despite all the talk of community, I feel more like I'm surrounded by the appropriate things at Brickshelf. I've done some searches on Flickr and been surprised by what came up.

Actually, you can't factor it down like that. Assuming all 15,000 were ordered, your odds are 3 in 15,000, which isn't the same as 1 in 5000. In reality, it's 1:15000, 1:14999 and 1:14998, as the drawing is being held, since 1 person becomes ineligible as they win. Ok, I'm going to stop now.

What do you think the BIG secret set of this year will be? The straw that breaks my bank account, I suppose.

Oh please, who could ever forget their lipstick? And blush, and mascara, and nail polish, and eyeliner, and ... *packs another suitcase*

A good guess. Packing heat being slang for carrying a gun, it refers to the gun tag that I made and that the staff has awarded to devoted and talented Mafia/Mystery players.
