Very nice, as usual, Sandy. I enjoyed reading this one, and I can't wait to continue the adventure. The MOCs, especially the harbor, are very well done - just goes to show how dedicated you are to this comic. I have to say, your work with Lego comics has definitely inspired me. Reading them really makes me want to write my own Lego adventures. Maybe someday I will... BTW, I like the jester's name. Named after the band, or the actual meaning?

May I ask which sets in particular you're looking for? The Architecture sets (Sears Tower, Seattle Space Needle, etc.), or sets like the Taj Mahal or Statue of Liberty?

Thanks for putting this rule into place (it was already, but the reminder was needed). I just hate when people do this, when obviously, no one is interested. If they were, they would've said so. Also, kind of off topic, but in the ballpark. Another thing that I think is unnecessary is posting three letters in a BST topic: "PMd". The topic start will see the PM as soon as he/ she logs on next, so there is really no reason to remind them in their own topic. And if it's to announce that you may or may not be taking one of the items the topic starter is offering, then I'm sure that person will take that item off of the list.

My favorite of the bunch so far. Love the grave stones, and the dark green works much better than regular green would. I want some of these zombies now.

Thanks WhiteFang, it's an honor to be blogged at Classic-Town!

Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day, and enjoy your LP hat.

Happy Birthday, BigCam! Enjoy your day with family and friends, and not with EB. Have a good one.

The Day 7 topic will be closed until further notice. An issue has come up, and needs to be solved before the game continues. Thank you for your patience, we'll have this solved as quickly as possible. Also, please refrain from asking about this in the discussion thread or to the hosts. Thanks.

Er... why? If you'd like to discuss this in private, feel free to.

In addition to Day 7, the conclusion to Day 6 has also been posted.

The sun was setting on the sixth night of the survivors being stranded. Ellen Allison/ Eskallon was being accompanied by a particularly wise figure, both unknowing that they were being stalked. "...Yes, you'll be safe with me tonight, Ellen." said the friendly figure. "I cannot thank you enough", she replied. "You may not realize it, but you are our savior tonight. Without you making the right decision, we would have all died". Suddenly, the dark figure whipped around. It had heard footsteps behind them, and sure enough, the two figures that had killed together on previous nights were aiming to kill again. "Move out of our way!", said the one with the hatchet. "No! Stay away!", the first figure replied. The killers didn't listen. They came at Ellen, ready to strike. But the first figure pushed Ellen out of the way. "Run!" it yelled. "They're not going to kill anyone tonight!" And they didn't. Ellen and the friendly figure got away safely, and the madness was to continue on for another day. In the morning, the five remaining survivors awoke, and were pleased to see that they were all still alive. But would this be the Sanes' last chance at survival? The number of votes needed to reach a conviction today is 3. Please wait until either Ricecracker or myself have announced that you may vote before doing so, once 24 hours have passed since the Day started. The Rules: This game will follow the basic conventions of a Mafia Game. Each "day", you will be given 4 real days in which to vote for someone to kill. The day will end as soon as a majority decision is reached, or when the 4 days are up. If someone has been convicted, you will find out their loyalty shortly after end of the day. After this a night phase will begin, which will last 2 real days. Then the cycle will repeat. Those players with night actions must PM them to Ricecracker during the night phase. If we do not receive them within the two days, they will not be counted. - There will be two main sides in the game. Your winning criteria will be included with your character PM. - Voting is to be done in the day thread, and should follow the following format: Vote: Character (Player). Please note the use of bold. This is the only format that will be accepted. To unvote someone, the same applies: Unvote: Character (Player). - There is a 24 hour limit at the beginning of each day. You are not allowed to vote during this time. - You may not edit your posts. Violation of this rule may result in a moderator kill. - Please avoid posting out of character (OOC) in the game thread. - Do not ever directly quote something the game moderator(s) have sent to you via PM, whether it be your character information, night action results, or any other form of communication. Violation of this rule will result in a moderator kill. You may of course paraphrase any information you receive; if it is your own words then it is fine. - Do not discuss game tactics or "play the game" outside the game thread, including in the General Discussion thread. You may communicate privately via PM, but this is at your own risk, and should be considered part of playing the game. - Please be considerate towards the hosts. We will try our best to stick to the schedule, and your cooperation will help this greatly, particularly getting night actions in promptly. - There may be certain punishments for not reaching a conviction during the day. Said punishments are final, and are to be obeyed. (Rules borrowed from Dragonator's Mystical Castle).

Alright, you're officially banned from the Wargames forum. And it looks Utopic to me.

I never took the producers of this show as the kind to do the typical thing, and I doubt they'll let me down. I predict that the finale will be the most unpredictable thing ever. Yet, I predict that Jack (and everyone else in the normal universe) will die. Yeah, I agree. However, I think they were just setting things up for the grand finale by explaining a few last minute details. And agreed on Richard's death, that was not epic at all. No buildup of suspense, and the same exact thing that happened to all of those who stayed with Dogen. I actually liked that episode. The stories behind Jacob and TMIB were finally revealed, both of which I found fascinating. My hopes are set extremely high for the grand finale. I really hope it doesn't revolve around Widmore, Ben, or Penny. I'm hoping for it to mainly be about the characters we've had since the beginning, even deceased ones, with a plot revolving around Desmond and TMIB. I don't really know what to expect though. I'll be anticipating it greatly (and rewatching the first episode enhanced on Saturday). Also, did anyone see the promo winner during the commercials? I thought it was really great, with the scenes put onto ocean-looking frames. I especially liked the scale with the dark/ light rocks at the end. That must've taken some serious editing skills if it was for a contest for regular people (e.g. people without the funds to have Hollywood effects). Oh, and one last thing. A few weeks back, one of the promos showed the scene with Locke and Walt from Season 1, where Locke is explaining how to play that game (with the dark vs. light concept). Looks like the folks over at IGN were right about this plot stretching all the way back to the beginning.

The votes are in, and a conviction has been reached. Big Cam/ Bill Campell is to be convicted today. Bill backed away from the mob. "Hey, come on now, you gotta believe me. I'm innocent, I tell you!", he said. But it was too late. Everyone was convinced that he was crazy, and in order to save themselves, he must be eliminated. "Please, I just want to get off this island like the rest of you! You're all just gonna end up killing yourselves if you do this!", he cried again. But before he could continue, a hatchet flew from the mob. No one saw who threw it, but everyone saw who it hit. It spun and stuck itself sideways into the side of Bill's neck. With the air knocked out of him, he could only gasp and choke as blood came pouring through his trachea and out of the area between his shoulder and vertebrae. He crumpled to the ground, with the hatchet still stuck in his neck, dead. "Oh well, let's hope he's sane", said Ellen. Unfortunately, she was wrong. Bill Campell was one of the last Sanes. It would take a miracle for the remaining Sanes to make it through the night... It is now night, please send your night actions in to Ricecracker.

Who closed the Day 6 thread? Don't get too anxious, Shadows. EDIT: Oh, four. Sorry.

Happy birthday, you two! Enjoy it!

It's been just about 24 hours, you may now vote. The number of votes needed to convict is 4.

This is actually unintentional. I usually have no idea what the episode is about other than what character(s) it features. I just pick from the list of episodes that I think best fits the events of recent events in the game. They never have to do with the game itself, or reveal any clues.

Thanks for the pics, grogall! I think I like these even better than the first series. So many great figures like the Vampire, Roman, Pharaoh, surfer dude... I think I love them all. I especially like the Karate guy's hair (finally we get that piece in black). And the disco guy's fro, with which I can make a Lego figure similar to what I actually look like... if only it came in brown (yes, I have a fro).

Nice work on these, though I think the real-life model would look much better with white teeth over dark bley ones. Interesting cockpit designs, too.

It was late on the sixth night since the survivors had crashed. Def/ Deborah Fredricks was out of bed, wanting to check something. "We suck, we suck... man oh man do we SUCK!" she muttered to herself, obviously upset that she had helped condemn an innocent man the day before. Before she reached her destination, however, she was met by the same two figures that had ganged up on Ron the night before. "Hello there", one of them said. Deborah quickly looked up. "Oh no, no no, come on, I don't want any trouble", she pleaded. "Neither do we. Don't scream" said the other. It knocked her over, and pinned her to the ground, while the other pulled out his hatchet and prepared to do its job... In the morning, the six remaining survivors discovered Deborah's body. It was an unfortunate loss, for she turned out to be Sane. The Sanes absolutely needed to vote off an Insane today, or this could be they're last on the island...

I agree with having a Wolfpack/ Forestmen type faction. Just as long as it has plenty of dark brown pieces. I'd also like to see a purple crown faction, similar to the red and green ones we already have. Mostly because I want more pieces in that color, but also because purple is regal.

Haha! Funny, but true. Possibly one of the biggest dilemmas of a Lego fan. Nicely done. I really like your art style to begin with, but the way you colored everything in calm tones to highlight "Bricky" was great. Also, huge props for detailing those Lego set boxes. Instantly recognizable, and very accurate. Is that a Pirate ship in the first panel?

I don't think it's just winning the games, it's how well you play overall. You're very lucky to have survived all three (so far ), but it's usually likely that you'll die more often than not. Although I'm not entirely sure what merits a mafia tag... Looking forward to Hogwarts Mafia, Sandy! I'll be interested to see if you'll be using your own characters or the ones in the books.

Yeah, that's who I meant. That's what happens when you have multiple topics open. That's what I thought... just wasn't sure. Nice entry, BTW.
