Day 6, Sunset The sun began to fall under the mountains. TheBrickster sat in the saloon with a pistol aimed at her head, once again dreaming of a far away land of peace, tranquility and self-promotion. All of a sudden, she realized that she could leave this forsaken hell of a city, and head for an adventurous and beautiful place in Peru. She packed her bags, and said goodbye to her beloved bar. Taking one more swig of beer, she headed out of the door... Only to be crushed by a passing wagon. Hinckley, lost and confused, ran off into a cave outside of the city. There he collected his thoughts, until it suddenly hit him - the wanted posters, the limp.. Hinckley arrived in town, rifle in hand, determined and as grim as ever. The bandits, however, were waiting for him. After a fierce shoot-out, Hinckley realised he couldn't win, and retreated back into his cave, where he sat, rocking back and forth, his conscience tormenting him for the rest of his days.. The bandits meanwhile now had all of the city to themselves, and they looted all of the local houses and buildings, taking what they pleased. Flatfoot Thomsen and Black Bart celebrated, while the Piranha stared deeply into the knife he held. Looking up, he suddenly lunged forward at Flatfoot, knocking him off his feet. He raised the dagger, only to be promptly pushed off and punched by Bart. Piranha, broken, ran off into the distance, never to be seen again. And so, Gold City had fallen to the bandits, and a place with so much potential, was ruined. The game is over! The winners are ImperialScouts and Trexxen!

Well, at least the NZ price is reasonable compared to the US price for once.. And in New Zealand, you can get 3 and a half small chess sets for the same price, while in the US you can get 7 for the same price... Regardless, I'm not buying it :-/

Day 6, Sunset The town wasted no time deciding who to lynch. The whole town agreed that Username_Taken should be killed this day. They had decided to lynch him before he could even defend himself, and before the narrator could even type up a half-decent description. Username_Taken was hung. Despite the town's confidence, he was in fact a Townie. What a shame. Get your night actions in within 24 hours.

Day 6, Sunrise The sun blossomed from under the hills, and a new day started. Everyone had survived the night, but it became clear that there had been atttempts at each other's lives. ImperialScouts still limped along from the day before, and Username_Taken now had a painful-looking gun wound just below his shoulder. The town gathered around and got straight into the debate. The lynching of a bandit was more vital than ever now, as the loss of another townie life would result in a victory for the bandits and the fall of Gold City as a place for the free. EDIT: Hinckley, could you please change the title to 'Western Mafia - Day 6'? Thanks ;-) Edit by Hinckley: Sure. ;-)

Gold City is a place where bandits roam freely, and take what they please from the good people of the town. Although the Sherriff and his deputy can sometimes bring law to the lawless folk, but the gangs of bandits are far too numerous to be completely destroyed. The Mayor agrees something needs to be done. He announces that every day, the towns-people will vote on who will be lynched. Finally, order could be restored in Gold City. Past Storylines: Day 6, Sunset The town wasted no time deciding who to lynch. The whole town agreed that Username_Taken should be killed this day. They had decided to lynch him before he could even defend himself, and before the narrator could even type up a half-decent description. Username_Taken was hung. Despite the town's confidence, he was in fact a Townie. What a shame. Day 6, Sunrise The sun blossomed from under the hills, and a new day started.

The lynching of a bandit was more vital than ever now, as the loss of another townie life would result in a victory for the bandits and the fall of Gold City as a place for the free. Day 5, Sunset caswindu was taken to the gallows, to the sound of curses from the audience. It had become clear to the town that he was a bandit, despite his uniform. The sheriff tied a knot around the poor fellow's neck, and the crowd watched caswindu hang. It was painfully obvious he was the Cavalry Officer. The town's demise was almost certain now, as there were now as many bandits as there were townies. The few remaining people of the town hoped to change that, and loaded up their guns for the coming night... Day 5, Morning Light spread across Gold City as the sun rose from under the hills. The town gathered together once more, although one was missing. Near the bank, the body of Tanotrooper was found. From his clothing it became obvious he was a Local Indian. Another Townie had been killed. Grim as ever, the town entered the saloon. Username_Taken, ImperialScouts and Trexxen arrived slightly later, all looking rather tired. ImperialScouts limped behind the other two, and once the three latecomers arrived, heated debate began once more in the town. Meanwhile, a cavalry squad arrived from the nearby fort of Legoredo, to see how the progress was going. Angry to see that no bandits had been lynched, they began placing wanted posters all over the town. With the town's demise not far away, the town became more determined to rid themselves of the banditsand finally be free. Day 4, Night Tanotrooper passed through the streets, seemingly pleased with his work during the day. He walked past the local bank before coming to a sudden halt. He stood where he was, transfixed, staring at a loaded pistol aimed at his head. He began to shout, but the noise of the gunshot drowned it out. Tanotrooper was left on the ground, covered in a red liquid. Day 4, Sunset The town had decided. wouwie13 was to be put to death. Suspicions arose about the man from the very beginning, and his disgustingly curvy name did nothing but further prove he was a lowly bandit. The sherriff strung ol' wouwie up and hung the poor man. After a thorough search of his house, it was discovered that he was infact a (Townie). "Why don't we just search their houses to begin with?" asked an inquisitive sherriff. the mayor scoffed. "Keep up that additude, son and you'll be the next one lynched." And so the day ended, after a rather peculiar 120 hours, and darkness fell upon Gold City. Several town members loaded up their revolvers, and prepared for the grim upcoming night.. Day 4, Morning A rooster cried, greeting the new day. The sun rose above the barren mountians, unleashing light upon the old town. The townspeople got out from their beds, still tired. They gathered at the saloon, happy to see that, once again, everyone had survived the night. Almost immediatly though accusations started flying, occasionally interrupted by the swilling of alcohol. Nothing unusual there. Day 3, Sunset The town had decided. lukeiamyourfather was to be hung. The poor man hardly had time to even defend himself. He was taken to the gallows, much to the delight of the crowd. "But wait, I'm innocent!" he screamed, but the time for talking was over. lukeiamyourfather was hung. His house was searched. Items found there were a whip, luggage, and a picture of a stagecoach. It seemed the man hung was none other than the local Stagecoach Driver. Another loyal citizen had been killed. The sky darkened, and the town went back to their houses for the night. Others stayed behind and loaded up their guns, knowing that now was the time to strike.. Day 3, Afternoon The sherriff took a break from his tireless efforts investigating and headed to the saloon for a drink or two. He sipped at his grog, only to be interrupted by a loud racket out back. The sherriff left his table and ran to the noise. He rammed the door open to find TheBrickster hanging from the ceiling on a noose. The sherriff sprung into action, quickly cutting the rope on which theBrickster was tied. TheBrickster tumbled to the floor, gasping for breath, and the sherriff let out a sigh of relief. TheBrickster was saved, but it would take him a while to recover from the incident. Meanwhile, the Mayor sat in his office impatiently, furius at the inactivity of the town. He doubted the town would ever be rid of criminals at this rate. The arrival of a mysterious man hadn't seemed to rouse the townies, despite the new information he had about some of the citizens. Will this information save this good town, or will it serve only to dismantle the remaining law left in the damned town. Day 3, Morning A rooster cried, greeting the new day. The sun rose above the barren mountians, unleashing light upon the old town. The townspeople got out from their beds, still tired. They gathered at the saloon, happy to see that, once again, everyone had survived the night. Almost immediatly though accusations started flying, occasionally interrupted by the swilling of alcohol. Nothing unusual there. There was about to be something very unusual, though. The saloon doors flapped open, and a ragged looking stranger walked in. This stranger went by the name of Username_Taken, and although none knew him, he seemed to know quite alot about them... Day 2, Sunset The townspeople had been confronting each other left, right and centre and had come to no conclusion. The mayor sighed. "We'll continue in the morning.." The townspeople returned to their houses, even more suspicous of each other.. Day 2, Midday The Day was getting late, and the mayor was getting impatient. The inhabitants of Gold City, paranoid as ever, had spent most of the day trying to lynch everyone in sight. The mayor finally stood up, furious. "Why you dirty yellow-bellied cowards! You folk are the most indecisive lot I've ever layed eyes on! Ya'll better finish this here investigation soon, or we're going to bed lynch-less tonight!" With those wise words, the town once again began to route out the criminals from the good town. Or tried to atleast ... Day 2, Morning It had been a long and restless night. No doubt the bandits had been busy. The town awoke to the call of a rooster. All but the Brickster... he slept a few minutes longer. The town gathered together at the gallows, surprised to see everyone still alive. Rumours had already started spreading however, and it surely wouldn't be long until someone joined ricecracker in the graveyard. Day 1, Sunset ricecracker had been the name on the lips of many of the townspeople the whole day. Not the delicious snack either, but one of the citizens. ricecracker had tried to prove his innocence, claiming to be the deputy sherriff, but the town was having none of it. Ricecracker was taken to the gallows and hung.. Ricecracker's badge fell to the floor, with the word 'DEPUTY' engraved on it. "Oops, looks like he was a Townie after all" said the mayor, his cheeks now a reddish colour. The townspeople, feeling rather silly, returned to their houses for the night, hoping the next day will be more successful. The bandits, however, loaded up their guns and prepared to rid themselves of a few more town members... Day 1, Morning The inhabitants of Gold City gathered around their trusted mayor, who clearly had something important to say. The noise of the townspeople died down as the mayor's booming voice echoed throughout the city. "This town is in great peril! Many a bandit has made this town their home, and now, something has to be done. As the mayor, I have come up with a solution - we will all search the town, trying to route out the outlaws, and finally free this town of evil. Anyone we find suspicious will be hanged. Now, harden your hearts for the coming task. Once this is all over, we will once again be able to roam freely without the threat of bandits!" The crowd cheered, despite the mayor's flawed system. For their spirits had been uplifted, and they would follow the mayor's plan the all the way, or die trying. The townspeople walked back to their homes, and so, presumeably, did the bandits. Inhabitants of Gold City - TheBrickster - Trexxen - Piranha - Hinckley (Replacing Quarryman) - ImperialScouts (Replacing Captain Ka-Boom) The Graveyard - ricecracker: Lynched, Day 1 (Townie) - Was clearly loved by the entire town. - lukeiamyourfather: Lynched, Day 3 (Townie) - Being Luke's father did nothing to save this poor soul from being lynched. - wouwie13: Lynched, Day 4 (Townie) - His curvy name will no longer dishearten the good town. - Tanotrooper Shot, Night 4 (Townie) - His peace pipe will no longer cloud the minds of good people. - casewindu Lynched, Day 5 (Townie) -You could say 'case closed'. But that would be silly. - Username_Taken Lynched, Day 6 (Townie) 3 votes to lynch. Rules can be found in the Day 1 Thread. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me. Have Fun ;-)

City/Space: I went with KhoRne on this one. The bottle and litter are a nice addition, as is the stick carrying all his belongings (name escapes me..). And what town wouldn't be complete without a bum? History/Adventure/Pirates: This one was tough, but in the end I chose Quarryman's. The princess and monkey are both great figures to have, and the fire place and dinner table are very cute. Nice job! Licenced: It was a tough decision for me between LegoLyons and Tanotrooper, but I chose LegoLyons. It's such a nice simple set, and it looks just like a set TLC would give us. Quite a nice idea too, as the vault could be added to a larger bank *wub* Thanks for creating this contest Sinner, it was great fun. Thanks to imperialshadows and copmike too, and good luck to everyone who participated ;-)

Thanks, but I'm afraid that's already been posted here.

EB Pirates Episode 2 - Welcome to Port Paraiso!
MagPiesRUs replied to Captain Green Hair's topic in Pirate MOCs
Brilliantly done, guys *wub* Some of the shots are amazing, and the effects look great. The battle was very nice, the ships look great! Great work, I can't wait to see the next installment *sweet* -
Very nice! The scene looks great, and the basket is nice. Nice job on Toht too, the feodora looks great in black *wub* My one critisism would be that the gun the Arab has looks a little too futuristic. Perhaps the batman sub-machine gun would look better..

I've improved my TOD mine car, if i have enough time, I'll build a city entry.

I just thought I'd make a last minute edit to my Mine Car :-$ Theme: Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom Set Name: "Generic Indian" Mine Car ( X-D ) Piece Count: 26 / 27 incl. scimitar Price: $6.99 NZ

Very nice, Tanotrooper! For a first try, this brickfilm is great. The shots are good, and the frame rate is pretty good, but most of all, it tells a great story. It's a shame you didn't have any more soldiers, it would've been amazing if you had about 10 more of each side *wub* Great movie, and congratulations on getting it on the school site *y* *y*

I can't really be bothered making small talk, so I'll just get straight to it... :-$ Panning A group of prospectors search for gold at a nearby river. While one sleeps, the other finds gold in the water. Now all he has to do is escape while his partner is still sleeping.. X-D Scalping The Sioux defeat a party of invading U.S. soldiers. The proud chief scalps one of the soldiers.. Enjoy! Feedback appreciated *sweet*

Wow, that looks great! The snow looks very nice. All he needs now is a mf scale AT-AT :-| X-D

Thanks for the feedback everyone :-) Thanks, glad you liked it. It was hard finding the right faces and torsos for the figs, one of the main reasons I didn't do any Marv or Dwight vigs. Thanks. I was planning on adding Nancy to the second vig, but I didn't have any long blonde hair or a Leia torso avaliable, so I left her out. Once i get the parts though, you bet I 'll do one :-$ At the moment I'm working on a Marv vig, should be good *sweet* Thanks :-) I didn't think of using grill pieces, good idea, though I don't think I have many brown ones.

Really? I've seen all of them BUT Arkham Asylum (and Riddler's Hide-out). Unfortunately it was during my dark ages during the first wave, so I missed out on them. I saw the Batcopter too, but never got around to buying it.
-
Congrats on the buy *sweet* The sets look good, although they look like sticker hell :-/ And while it's nice to get Speed Racer and Racer X in cheaper sets, it's a shame that you'll end up with two of each car if you get them all.

*wub* This is truly a thing of beauty. The cracked wall looks great, as does the splash of fire onto the boat, the clever use of flowers as blood, the brilliant thatched roof and the overall MOC. One of the things I really love about it is the similarity of features to your Nassau port. It's almost as if this is Nassau port hundreds of years before that *sweet* One thing I don't like is the use of a cavalry officer torso and the tricorne. They both seem rather out of place. Other than that though, it's great, I love it. This is really brilliant, one of your best MOCs so far, keep up the good work *y* *y*
-
Thanks for the feedback everyone *wub* Thanks, though I'm not sure what you mean by fortified. More soldiers? Personally, I like this photo most: X-D Thanks. Thank you, Luxor. I'm planning on making a few more soon. Once again, thanks :-)

What? I got the Temple Escape X-D Great set by the way, my only gripe about is that the cubey skulls, the palm tree leaves and the bottom of the plane aren't attached very securely and easily break off. That and the lack of Hovitos :'-(

Just got the Temple Escape. Looks great, can't wait to build it! *wub*

I made this MOC a couple of months ago, but never got round to uploadiing it. Seeing RebelRock's Crown Retaliation reminded me of this MOC, and so I've finally uploaded it. This MOC is on the Saracen siege of Acre, an important Crusader city in the Holy Lands. The MOC is based on a quote I read, but I slightly miunderstood it. "... When the Saracens came to attack him, they threw Greek fire onto the barrier he had made; and the fire caught easily, for the Templars had put large quantity of deal planks there. And you should know that the Turks did not wait for the fire to burn itself out, but rushed upon the Templars among the scorching flames.." Here it is: The Knights Templar pour Greek Fire down on the Saracens (I don't believe the fire was really used in this way, more so used as flaming balls): The Fire takes it's toll on the Saracens: The Saracens continue to charge through the fire, while Crusaders rush to defend the gate: A few more pictures of the chaos: A sample of a few of the minifigs, each showing a different torso or shield (A thread on the decals is here : Enjoy! Feedback appreciated *sweet*

Thanks for the feedback everyone :-) If anyone is interested, here is the scene in which my second vig is based on. (Not Recommended for Younger Members)
