Shadows

Love it! Not quite as much as the Tantive IV, but I can't argue. Perfect scale. Perfect atmosphere. Perfect character selection. Somehow, they all fit their characters perfectly, and I'm a sucker for monkeys anyway. Look at all that great scaled up detail! The throne, the terminals, it's just all so perfect. Congratulations on your win and for bringing more attention to Fabuland! I thank you, the guild thanks you, George Lucas thanks you. Now I want to see a "Fabuland Star Wars: The Motion Picture" project where someone takes the whole movie and remakes it in Fabuland. That would be stunning. Actually, I'll just add both tags myself when I index.

Actually, I didn't. I was one of the last votes that day and it wasn't based on motive as we were all looking for suspicious attitudes. He had one. Calvin was an early supporter of that, but I can't even blame those who voted against Lord Martin, he acted guilty. (OOC: I bet the first day of these things always goes badly since you never have anything to go on, really) The 'throne' will go to a family member, not me. I am an advisor, I cannot be the King officially. I was the King before, but only in deed. As for the Lords, we have a note that dragonator has confirmed which indicates that there is a traitor amongst the Lords. The most suspicious Lord, aside from that crazy one tap dancing in the corner, is Lord Ash with his spy who may or may not be an assassin. No one is suggesting that we kill all the Lords, so no one could seize power in that way, unless it was through some kind of military action, which I have no authority over. I initially thought it was a murder attempt and I still wonder. If you believe that, then you must also believe that Lord Ash ordered it, since he admitted that Calvin works for him and was doing his job. Thus, the man who pulls the strings. You sort of argued my point there, and I urge you to give it some consideration. I'm not insulting the guards, I'm questioning the people giving the orders. Clearly, someone let the murderer in to kill the King, someone didn't stop the people wandering the halls the first night, and someone didn't observe an entire suit of armour being moved around and then thrown at the Friar. Yes, we should definitely try to stay in groups (OOC: Though I don't think the game really allows for this form of self defense). That is a serious accusation, perhaps some more details? What possible motive could he have? I can only think of one. He is loyal to Lord Ash as well and was working to his master's benefit to kill the man who opposed his spy. But if he was loyal to Lord Ash, why would he have his spy accuse him? Are we being misled by Calvin? And if so, who is to blame for that? His employer. If we aren't being misled, then why would Marcus attempt to kill someone who he's had no quarrel with? No, that doesn't make sense. All roads lead back to the same place. Again, I say! The head of this dastardly plot is none other than Lord Ash! To allow him to continue will surely bring death to us all. I promise you, my life is now at risk. I will make this pronouncement in an attempt to scare the killer away from killing me. I ask that we heed Byron's advice and stay in groups as the night approaches. Anyone who has that opportunity should take advantage of it. Actually, that wasn't my intent. I was stating that we need to watch both Generals and Grim as higher ranked officers who could allow bad things to happen on their watch. I'm less concerned about the lower level guards at this point. As I said, I can't assume power. We know that one Lord is a traitor. We know it wasn't poor Martin. It seems unlikely the be Lord SpudsMcKenzie, so that leaves you and Lord Ash. So far, I have no reason to suspect you of anything except doing disgusting things with glass eyes (which aren't even in use during this time period! ) and I have lots of reasons to suspect Lord Ash and his employee. Therefore, I will make this pledge to you. Vote for Lord Ash. If he isn't a traitor, vote for me the next day. By doing so, you increase your own safety, either by stopping a bad Lord or me. At the same time, when he is revealed for his true nature, we'll have no reason to kill another Lord, we'll have found the one who is a traitor and you will be much safer from suspicion. How's that?

To a point. For the most part, they suggest the online Pick-a-Brick for normal parts. Licensed parts are more difficult. While attempting to buy a single clone helmet, I was told 3 different stories on the subject. I don't know which is true, but here they are. 1. Due to licensing restrictions, we can't sell individual licensed minifigs/parts. 2. We have it, but not for individual purchase, we only keep a limited supply on hand for replacement purposes. 3. We don't have it at all. That said, I think they just want people to buy the sets and not rely on them to pick up individual minifigs, which I can respect (annoying as it was in this case). So it all depends on the part, I guess.

We like to commonly refer to a "possible want for murder" as motive. It's why Lords kill their parents to take over their kingdoms and why someone might try to kill the accusor of their personal spy. I'll say it again. Only two people had a motive to want the Friar dead, unless someone knows something about him that we don't. Calvin and his employer, Lord Ash. Calvin is too obvious, and we know he investigates by night, so he couldn't have tried to kill anyone. So again, I ask, who does that leave? Oh, and we already know that one of the Lords is bad. As for me (haven't you been paying attention? ) ... In my capacity as the King's advisor I would be the last person to want him dead. It ruined my whole position and all that I have worked for. The King was old and not completely, well, healthy. He trusted me to serve the kingdom in his place and I did so with the greatest care. I was the King, in many ways, before a traitor did whatever they did to him (did we ever really confirm it was poison?). Speaking of suspicions... could you, as a General, explain why security is so bad around here? The King: Unprotected and murdered. People breaking in to rooms, unchallenged. People skulking in the halls where they don't belong. People knocking over armour and assaulting others. A murder in the courtyard. A near murder at the same time. Seriously. What are you people doing to protect us?

I'm still waiting for him to say something. But here's the thing... We can't forget the attempt on the good Friar. What did he ever say that could direct such anger towards him? He accused Calvin. That means that two people had motive to kill him, and only two. He hasn't accused ANYONE ELSE. Those two are, of course, Calvin and his employer, Lord Ash. Now we know that Calvin's night action is investigating, so letting him live until we sort this out shouldn't matter, all he can do is investigate. No harm there, unless someone is guilty, of course. He might even be a simple pawn in all of this, it's impossible to tell yet. The one we need to worry about is the one who isn't a pawn. The one who can kill in the night, much as our dear King was killed, and who had motive to want both the King AND the Friar dead. Who does that leave? A Lord with enough power to order a murder attempt. Thankfully, someone stopped him. I hope we find out who one day, so he can be thanked for his merciful intervention. It doesn't get any clearer in my mind. Vote: Lord Ash / TinyPiesRUs Let's cut off the evil starting at it's head.

Yes, but how are we going to stop dragonator from killing any more? We've only mistakenly convicted one, he's taken out two. Still, the odds are with us, and at some point, the fools will turn on themselves and show their true colours. Then, we shall avenge the King, bless his soul.

It's a little dark to see clearly, and there are a few details I'm uncertain about, but I know they come as a result of using LDD and it's limited parts assortment. It's a very interesting build and a nice attempt to represent Classic Pirates in the modern LEGO Factory setting. Yes, they like the rum, but it goes right through them... Good job, thanks for sharing it!

"Welcome" to EB! Ok, it's silly since you've been here longer than me, so we'll just move on now. Let's see. 25. Well, I was 25 once. Wild West missed during dark ages. Brought back by Star Wars. Town appreciation. Minifig customization. Add some Pirates to the mix and we should get along just fine. When you've retrieved your Town collection, would you consider reviewing some of the Classic Town era sets? We'd really appreciate it. Thanks for finally getting around to introducing yourself, it's a pleasure meeting you.

As is EBRP tradition for me, I just did my obligatory "theme month caption" chapter. Yes, I managed to get it into the story. Scary, isn't it? Excellent job on the summaries guys. I'll get to Crown Kingdom soon.

Not worth it's own thread. I assume you mean the Classic Town overalls design. Here's 3 versions, plain, collared and with neck showing. If you mean something else, please explain more clearly. (click thumbnails for full size decals) As for the SW clone, you really would have to be more specific there on ovals and such.

??? Druth Castle Grand Hall Strantor returns from searching Yodarth's room. I have found nothing suspicious. I am not surprised. I don't believe he was possessed, I think he had a reason for what he was saying and doing, just as Mirindalast did before him. It seems like a madness, but I think there was purpose behind it, we just need to figure out what it was. Oh honey, he was always a little off. Yes yes, I know, but not like that. He feared an impending evil, and right now the whole continent is plagued by an assortment of evils. He must have had reason to believe it could reach us. Impossible... The magic gate has withstood every kind of attack that our enemies could ever throw at it. Even if something did manage to enter it, they wouldn't be taken here. True. You know, I've always wondered about that. Where does it lead? I have no idea. I remember being told that it was somewhere terrible though. It always seemed spooky to me. I mean, where do you send evil that could possibly be worse than it? Is there any way to tell if that's happened? What? Is there any way to determine if some form of evil has entered and been sent to the horrible place, wherever it is? Uh... yeah! YES! YES YES YES YES YES YOU WONDERFUL MAN, YOU! Elmyra jumps up and down, causing quite a commotion. She's lost her mind. I never thought she had such a firm grip on it, myself. SHUT UP! There we go, she's back. You gave me an idea! I wish you'd stop that. Not that idea, though... um. Ok, so here's what we need to do! Elmyra details her plan. Aluvar seems impressed. Strantor is terrified. K-18 Crown Castle Princess Alyss' Chambers So now what? We saved my pathetic brother, but we aren't any closer to figuring out what is going on around here. We need to get undressed. Shadows! Just listen, I have an idea. I bet you do. Now look here, lad... Shut up Flangdor. You didn't tell her to shut up. Would you try telling her to shut up? No. Thank you. So, what's your plan, I shudder to ask... We need to put on disguises, go into town and see if we can uncover anything interesting, like maybe the location of that third skellie. You know, that's not bad. I don't see why we have to dress up funny. You already dress up funny. Be nice. You're not exactly a fashionable one either. Well excuse me, Princess... Shadows. Fine! Shadows casts a quick spell. Suddenly, he's wearing a Han Solo costume, Flangdor is dressed as Princess Leia in a metal bikini, and Alyss is dressed as Zam Wessel and carrying a golden statue. Haha, you look ridiculous, both of you. Looked in a mirror lately? Flangdor walks over to the mirror, then shrieks in horror. I meant that for her. The door to Alyss' chamber opens and a couple of guards walk in, first Hans then Fritz. Guten tag. Vee are looking for zee American infidels. Have you any information? Uh... no. What's an American? Ach, she's a cutie. Mmmmm. Fritz winks at Flangdor. You dunderhead, zat one has a beard! My wife has a beard. Ja, and her legs aren't as good, but still... Oh ja, nice legs, sweetie! Are you about done here? Ja. Vee have to be going, zere ist a new frauline down zee hall and vee vant to get a good looksie! What about me? The guards leave the room quickly. That was disturbing. I didn't understand a bit of it. You're lucky. Change us back! Shadows returns them to their normal outfits with a wave of his hand. That was humiliating! Though I must admit, it felt pretty comfortable. Flangdor... don't. Sorry. I'll try this again. Shadows waves his hand again, this time disguising the three of them as monks. Perfect! No one will pay any mind to monks. I'm not exactly shaped like a monk. If monks were shaped like you, I'd have joined up years ago. Shadows! She's getting used to my name. She's going to be Mrs. Shadows one day, you know, so she keeps repeating it over and over. Aw, that's cute. Impossible! Alyss storms out of the room with Shadows and Flangdor close behind.

Isn't that exactly what a crazy maniac prone to randomly killing off players would say? So far, you've killed more of them then we have! All loyalists too. *eyes dragonator suspiciously*

Rotrigous grabs his nuts before they can bounce off the table whilst simultaneously dodging a flying dagger that falls to the floor several feet away. "I say... it seems we'll be on our own for dessert." Rotrigous reaches across the remains of the table, amongst other things, to retrieve a dish. "Trifle, Friar?"

I believe he's been getting a lot of his inspiration from other spirits. Jack and Jim, specifically.

To this day I haven't figured out what Phessy intended with that. I like to think it's an iceberg and the whole crew is WAY off course. He's got my face and hat. Therefore, it's me! I update the index biweekly, or monthly, whichever comes last.

Fabuland Builder's Guild, of course!

Love the Wind in the Willows, love the job you did here! A seriously fun MOC with a touch of the Fabuland Edge, if I'm seeing it correctly. Would that be a tiny mousetrap, in our dear Ratty's home? Oh look, there I am between the tree and Cheddar Cow. It's pronounced Shay-dar, she says. (it's all these cheese comments lately) Thank you for another delightful addition to the Fabuland Builder's Guild!

Score one for the Fabuland Revolution! Be sure to remind anyone and everyone that EB is THE forum of Fabuland on the net. Great job! (I liked the Tantive IV more... go figure. ) Aw... cute widdle lambytroopers.

Thilthy, huh? I'm not the only one hitting the wine around here. As for the attempt, it was probably someone who didn't like what he had to say, wouldn't you think? I don't recall us telling him he could have a real life.

Right, because you used the system properly. Alice's point was that it seems that some are doing otherwise, then wanting to validate that misuse, which could eventually lead to exactly what WhiteFang said, a day when everyone loses the luxury of ordering replacement parts easily. That would be horrible, wouldn't it? Everyone should consider that when they make one of these "mistakes." Oh, and bad dog!

The use of megablock was just polite. I could actually cuss if I wanted to, but alas, the normal ranked members can't, so I decided to refrain for their benefit. No deep plot there. Notes from spirits is the realm of Lord Scrappydoo. I drink my spirits. More frequently these days. I actually have a theory that an investigator is almost like a priest (sorry, Friar), something of a neutral figure. I, however, suspect those who would hire such a person. How would they select who to investigate? Surely a traitor knows his own kind, so he would only investigate the loyalists, hoping to throw suspicion. As the first loyalist investigated, I felt that was the intended result. Oh, and he didn't claim to work for Lord Ash. As I recall, he simple stated he worked for a Lord. His specific employment was revealed by Lord Ash himself. At this point, we're still waiting for his report from last night. Part of the terms of his continued existance upon this mortal plane.

Please tell me that we'll receive the full treatment on those after it's over. The Guild needs more of that.

Don't tell anyone, but dragonator killed Daniel for being a lazy participant, thus his death by potato. So that sort of knocks out the cart tampering clue. On the other hand, someone did try to kill the Friar. Perhaps he was on to something with the fisherman... or maybe that's what they want us to think. Calvin! Yes! We need our daily investigation report from the fisherman. Let's see if there was wisdom in allowing him to live. And what's with the Greek armour obsession? Aren't there any good old-fashioned English armours to knock over? Is this a clue that I'm missing? We know that there was a set near Lord Gary and Lord Saurkraut's rooms. I don't know how this helps. Oh look, a note! Yes. Yes he does.

You're a crazy man! You've destroyed a masterpiece... She looked good, right to the end. Takes a moment of silence. So, what's your next big plan for those parts?

Of course you are, it's what you're supposed to do as a game show host, move the program along when the guests are too dim to do it themselves. Hey, get back to controlling megablocking mode. They have 2 days to get in their night actions. They don't do it, they lose the turn, just like they screwed up the voting. Right Ragnir? RIGHT!
