I thought I'd start up a mafia game for Eurobricks *sweet* 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. Here are the rules, in case you havn't played before: Groups and Roles There are several groups - the citizens of Gold City and a few gangs of bandits. Everyone will be assigned a different role. No one knows each others roles. The town wins when all of the bandits are gone. The bandits when all of the town and rival gangs are gone. Lynching A day lasts until someone is lynched. Someone is lynched when the majority of the players have voted them out. This includes the bandits. To vote, please follow this example: Vote: Name (This must be in bold to be counted) To unvote, use this example: Unvote (see above) Night Time and Special Actions Once a person is lynched, night-time follows, which will last about 2 days real life. During the night, the sherriff and some of the bandits will be able to PM me the name of the person they want to kill, and they will have a chance of killing them. If they don't PM me before the day starts up again, they will miss out. More Rules - Don't edit posts or you will be given a warning. Edit again and you will be killed automatically. (I suppose I'll just have to trust those that don't have a message at the bottom when they post). - No speaking about the game outside of this thread. - Once you are dead, you can't post anymore in this thread. - Do NOT reveal your role to others unless you are close to being lynched. I think that's everything covered, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask *sweet* Sign Up Now! Players: 1. ricecracker 2. Tanotrooper 3. TheBrickster 4. Trexxen 5.

Thanks, iamded. I couldn't find a shield template on the internet, so I hand-made it. Does anyone know where one is? Oh, here are the decals if anyone is interested: And here's the flag (Thanks to Col. Whipstick for the template *sweet*):

Thanks *sweet* I've blue-tacked the decals on, as I don't want it to be difficult to take them off again. I'll see if I've got any mailing labels, although I don't think so. These were just my first attempts, so I went with a simple design, but I'll be giving my decals more detail next time. Thanks again :-)

I thought I'd try to make some Crusader torsos for my MOCs. These are my first attempts at making decals, so I went simple and just started off with a cross. I just blue tacked the decals as I still want to use the printed torso, so it doesn't really look like it's stuck on well. Anyway, here they are: Hospitaller Knight: Templar Knight: Teutonic Ritterbruder (I coloured the back of a bat helmet with black pen, but don't worry, it can be washed off :-$ ): Mounted Teutonic Knight (I couldn't find a template for an oval shield, so I just traced around a shield and drew on it. I anyone could find one, that would be great *sweet* ): Dismounted: My personal favourite, a French soldier: Feedback appreciated :-)

Great job, iamded *sweet* Yeah, the faces are different, I've got one or two of them. I got that face from the Vikings line. EDIT: They're like these two faces: this one and this one EDIT 2: Well, I'm pretty bored right now, so i took a comparison pic of the two heads. It's night-time at the moment, so I took a picture of it on top of one of our lights :-D So excuse the quality :-P As you can see, they're definitely different, although brickshelf doesn't say so :-/ Almost identical faces ON! X-D

Good luck, but please don't revive 2 year old threads just to say that ;-)

Thanks, wulf *wub* The skellie chariot looks good, although I'm not sure about the catapult. There's already an impulse (although it's good to have the old torso) for the crownies, I would've much rather preferred a dwarf one :-( But still, they're good *y* BTW, the background for the new products look great on the website *sweet*

Yeah, those are just the prisoner carriage and the catapult defense I believe :-/ There was a thread on that a while back. Anyway, welcome to Eurobricks, wulf!

The impulse sets and the Dwarf Mine are available are in the rest of the world now, as are the rest of the 2008 sets *wub* *wub* *wub*

The Dwarf Mine's on S@H now for Australia and New Zealand *wub*

The minifigs look ridiculously like Alpha Team ones :-/ The truck, I can just live with, but I have to draw the line at the little go carts and tiny planes >:-( On the plus side, looks like there's a new hairpiece for the main guy 8-|

Oooh! 8-

Demo: Empire Total War Demo I think this game will be great for a pirate/imperial fan. Having played the previous games from Total War, this is sure to be good. It is a turn based game with RTS battles, and is set in Europe, the Americas, India and Africa from around the late 17th Century to the early 19th Century. The battles involve thousands of soldiers, and you can use all sorts of tactics to defeat the enemy army. You can make different formations, such as the square to repel cavalry, a column to move in better order and the line, to give a great volley. You can have large sea battles, choose which cannon shot to fire, choose where to aim your cannons at (masts, hull, deck...), try to board the other ships, etc. Your ships are affected by the direction of the wind, the tides from the sea, the different weathers.. It sounds very nice to me, more detailed than Pirates of the Burning Sea in my opinion. The downside is that it has very good graphics, and I assume most of us wil need to buy a better computer to run it. Official Website Here are some pics: Videos Trailer Naval Battles Land Battles The Campaign Map The Road to Independance Campaign Multiplayer Minimum specs: 2.4Ghz single core processor 256MB Gfx card (DX9 compaitble) 1GB RAM (For XP, 2GB if using Vista) Here is the website Here are FAQs 1, 2 and 3 Sorry if this sounds a little too much like advertising, but I think this will be great for us pirate-fans when it comes out.

72) You are surprised that all of the food you eat is smaller than your head. 73) In history class, when asked what the Dark Ages were, you reply that it was when you stopped playing with LEGO for a few years. 74) You are then asked how the vikings contributed to our life today, you reply that we got helmets with horns, and a new hull piece. 75) Your family comes back home to find a whole side of the house missing, and you explain that it's for added playability.

A very nice MOC *wub* I love the architecture on the buildings and all the details, as well as the extremely cool performers :'-) It's great that you can take parts of the walls off for added playability. *y* *y*

On S@H, the mine is $49.99 US, as is the skeleton tower. Since the skeleton tower is $80 NZ, the dwarf mine should be the same price :-) Can't wait till it comes out in NZ :'-)

:-D :-D :-D Great stuff. Thanks for the laugh ;-)

Thanks, but we've already seen this a few pages back. Nevertheless, welcome to Eurobricks, alexandertam *sweet*

15)... You refuse to play any type of card game, knowing full-well everyone's hand will be king of spades, king of hearts, king of clubs, ace of hearts and ace of spades. 16)... You think it's a well-known fact that two types of aliens exist on Mars: ones that look like dinosaurs crossed with battle droids, and ones that look like jelly and can only move their two legs together. 17)... The only history you know of are castles, pirates, ninja, vikings and cowboys. Even then you believe that the most common weapons back then were either catapults or flick fire missiles.

Exactly as the title says: come up with ways to tell you love LEGO too much. Be creative and funny. Here are my attempts :-$ 1. ... You never open or close your hands; you expect everything to just be able to clip onto them. 2. ... When you want to put a backpack or scarf on, you attempt to pull your head off. 3. ... You go to an airport and repeatedly complain that the planes there are too <insert that tiresome argument>. 4. ... You start tearing apart your house, claiming you're 'modding' it. 5. ... You can't stand the colours reddish-brown or bluish-grey. 6. ... You have built large studs all over the floor. 7. ... You live far away from any cliffs, not being able to stand BURPs. 8. ... You are unable to move your elbows or knees. Feel free to make up your own (in fact, I encourage it *sweet* )

Someone's obviously been watching the Return of the King :-P

Oh yes, now I see, thanks X-D :-D No wonder that owl on the tree is eyeing down the roof X-D Once again, Sly'Owl, great work *y* *y*

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone :-) I've done some more experimenting, and I like these two: I like this one the most: And thanks Sir Nadroj, here's a gold version: No, I just want them for grenadiers before the Napoleonic War. I'm interested in making some Pavlov grenadiers aswell.
