You're right, it is ridiculous. I still find it a little stupid, seeing how we don't know the prior conditions, but I can understand where Boris is thinking from. He was thinking that she had set it up to be private so people wouldn't see her doing anything suspicious, such as lurking or PM. Is that correct, Boris?

No problem, the more I think about it, you have a bit of a point. We just don't know if she's had it like that for a while though.

How in the hell is that scummy? It's his business whether he wants people to know when he was last on, and it doesn't even matter. When he's on, he's on, and I'm sure he had it like that well before the game. I'm sorry, but that vote deserves the first Antoine Award. U r so dumm, cuz u r rilly dumm, fo' rill. I'm sorry, but there's no way you can be serious with that vote. And I'm sorry if you find that offensive. I'm just picking fun at you. Actually, I can kind if see where you're coming from, but still, I'm sorry, but I can't see that being a super good basis for a vote. I'm sorry.

Another point to make, not about Esther. I wouldn't mind a lynch on Zachary, I haven't understood him a lot. There's two possibilities for his PM request. A.) He's a town PR trying to form a block, or B.) He's scum trying to find out her role. Esther, you have my vote right now. I want you to convince me that you're town. Don't say "Well, I'm a PR", because we don't know what megablocking PR you are, so there's no way to validate that you are one. Otherwise, you can give us something to validate your claim with. Another person I'd vote for is Beatrice. She's said nothing but fluff. Typically, she's inactive, but even then, she helps when she can. What's your deal, Auntie?

Esther, I'm going to say yes. A lot of us are already suspicious of you, and we need you to claim so we can see if you're telling the truth or lying. The more you try to avoid claiming the more sure I am that you're scum or independent. Vote: Esther Thompson (Esurient) I already think you're scummy, and it seems like you're just trying to hold off claiming so we don't know you're scum.

I probably should have mentioned the rule in my addendum. It's possible that she hadn't noticed the rule about ties, so she was hoping to get lucky, maybe. It seems a few people have been rather quiet today. We're still missing Prudence, Kenneth, Tony, Michael, Esther, and Beatrice. I'd like to hear thoughts from the six of them. Especially Esther. We need to find out if she's lying or not before we come up with a solid lynch idea.

Hello again! Today, I bring a very, very special review, one not yet seen here on Eurobricks! Set Name and Number: 8909 Team GB Collectible Minifigures Theme: Collectible Minifigures Release: July 2012 Pieces: 63 Minifigures: 9 Price: £1.99 Links: My flickr Introduction This set was introduced during July 2012, as a Europe-exclusive set, being a special set in recognition of the 2012 Olympics, held in London. Now, I come from the United States, and like many other people living in the United States, I bought these lovely minifigures off of eBay. Do note that each of the figures come with a special gold medal. I am providing pictures of the figures with their medals. If you are interested in seeing pictures of them without their medal, please visit my flickr page, linked above. Now, I think it is time to begin the review! The Packet and Checklist The front of the packet features all 9 of the figures, ready to face their opponents. It looks very nice, and I think it meshes together very well. Do note that there is no specific color, but a red, white, and blue packaging. These are the colors for the Great Britain team. The back of the packaging features a very lovely streak of red and blue, as well as the Team GB Lion near the top. I like the design, because that is a detail that is not normally seen. The pamphlet features all 9 of the figures, so you can see which ones you are trying to find, as well as some of their details. I overall think that it looks a lot nicer than the usual Collectible Minifigure pamphlets, because we usually don't get this kind of detail. The back of the pamphlet showcases everything included with the figures. I am pretty sure that the only thing not shown here is the printings. Once again, I love all of the extra details. The Minifigures 1.) The Agile Archer This archer is a very nice figure, he has a lot of special pieces, such as the bow in black, and my favorite piece, the Superman hair in dark orange. This figure also has a lot of detail, and not a lot of it is covered up by the medal, as well, which I am very happy with. Overall, I feel like this is my favorite of the collection. Here you get a better look at the torso, which is very nice and has the GB lion on its front. The pants are kind of strange with the white stripes down the side, but I don't mind it that much. This is a very strong figure and I am ecstatic to be able to own it. It will also be very nice to note the brand new Olympics Team GB display stand! It is very nice to see this piece being used in a new color, and the printing is very well done. 2. The Brawny Boxer This Boxer is overall a very nice figure. He has some cool details on the shorts, and I feel like the torso is a bit lacking, but I think he makes a nice addition to the group. Do note that the helmet will not fit entirely on the head with the medal being worn. Here, our Boxer meets the Series 5 Boxer. The one thing that frustrates me here is that the Boxer has almost the exact same head as the Series 5 one. Other than that, I think they look good together. When the pack is opened, we get a lovely blue helmet, that has the Team GB Lion on it. This is a great parts pack, especially if you're looking for some new colors for the boxing gloves. 3. The Flexible Gymnast Another one of my favorites this series, the Gymnast is a great addition. She has an incredibly beautiful leotard on with a once again, lovely, GB Lion on it. The face is wonderful too, I love to use it whenever I create minifigure characters. TLG was even nice enough to include a balance beam for us. Thoughts like these really make me smile! Another thing to note is the beautiful ponytail in blonde, which is one of the reasons I wanted these so much! 4. The Judo Fighter Another one of my favorites (Though I do karate, not Judo ), this Judo Fighter has a striking resemblance to the Series 2 Karate Master. Once again, we see the Lion. (I think they're on them all. ) We get back printing with the Judo Fighter, and we also get another Lion cameo! I do like this printing, it received a lot more attention than the Karate Master. Here is a comparison between the two. I like that they both have patches on their left side. Overall, I feel like the newer one is stronger. Especially on the legs. After the packet is opened, we see this. I love her confident expression, and it's nice to get the ponytail in another new color. (It was made in black with a magenta stripe in Series 6, but we have never seen one in just black. 5. The Tactical Tennis Player Another Tennis Player, really? Honestly, I feel like TLG is trying to take advantage of the Tennis Player, introducing parts and recoloring parts over and over. Here he is with his companions, the female is from Series 3, and the male is from Series 7. I really don't like this GB one, it looks really cheap to me. The best is the Series 3 one, IMHO. The main thing that bugs me here is the shirt (I feel like the colors kind of clash), and the sweat on the head. The sweat just looks an awful milky white. Not a very strong figure. 6. The Wondrous Weightlifter This figure is certainly not the best figure, but I don't feel that it is the worst, either. He does have some nice printing, though the legs have an orange-y look to them. Here is our weightlifter compared to his Series 2 counterpart. I feel like this one is a drastic improvement from its predecessor. The old on'es face reminded me of a person having trouble on the toilet. I prefer this newer one very, very much. There is nothing that is incredibly intriguing in this pack, but the face is cool (except for the sweat), and the weights are a nice new color. 7. The Relay Runner I love the relay runner. It reminds me of myself. I ran relay in middle school, and I have hair very similar to this. Another favorite. A very cute detail is that his number is 1948. That was the last year that London had hosted the games. I feel that this is one of the stronger figures of the series, well done, TLG. 8. The Stealth Swimmer Once again, we get a new swimmer! I like this swimmer, actually. I like the torso, but the water droplets bug me. They are a nice detail, though. The face is OK, but I feel like it may be a bit too generic. That's my opinion, though. Here is a picture of the side of the printed swimming cap. Here is our swimmer with his Series 7 counterpart. Perhaps she is from a different team? They look good together, I like them. The swimmer is a great figure, though it is not my favorite. Here are the parts, and a better view of the swim cap. I love, love, love that lion! 9. The Equestrian Rider OK, I feel like this figure is a great figure as well. She has so many details, such as the sash. I also love that the ponytail was included, because I didn't plan on buying Heartlake Stables. There is a better look at the beautiful coat, and I love the nice little scarf she is wearing, too. Here is a better look at her back. There is a hole in the back of her hat for inserting an accessory, but this figure comes with none. The hairpiece is from the Friends line, so there are a lot of different accessories that may attach to the hat. I'm not entirely sure why you would want to have a bow randomly sticking out of an equestrian helmet, but who cares? It's your choice, after all. One last thing of note is that she has printing on the inside of her legs. That is the first and currently only time to have happened, but I definitely hope to see it again. The Complete Set This composite Image shows all 9 figures together a little more clearly than the beginning picture. I feel as if the figures all mix together well to form a great team. What are your thoughts? The Verdict Design- 9/10 There are only a few figures that need work, but most of them are stellar! Parts- 8/10 I feel like there were maybe a few too many re-used parts, but so many parts that are exclusive make up for it. Price- 10/10 A great price for such exclusive figures. Playability- 9/10 The only thing needed is a set for them to compete on, and some competition. Total- 36/40 A very strong set overall. 90% total is very good for just minifigures Conclusion This set is definitely one worth getting. Even if you don't live in the UK, buy it. These are exclusives, and it would be a shame to miss out on it. The idea to make these figures was stunning. I would never have thought TLG would have made such figures, and it really paid off for TLG, as they became a very popular LEGO item, I would assume. These figures turned out to be very well executed, and I love each one, despite their flaws. These figures mix together so well as a team, and I'm honored to be able to hold my own complete Team GB minifigures due to the fact that I live in the USA. I am hoping that TLG makes these for the 2016 Olympics as well.

As an addendum to my previous post, Esther seems to have voted for Caleb at a time where she caused a tie, if that means anything.

There are a few things I noticed about Esther from yesterday, and I thought they could be used to help decide her affiliation. It was noticed that Esther was very reluctant to claim. Is it possible that she was reluctant because she's a Coyote and wanted to say she had a PR to save herself? Is it possible that she didn't say which PR she was, so there weren't any interfering claims? I also noticed where she placed her vote. She didn't place her vote on someone she had marked as scum, but instead, someone that she only had a 50/50 read on. Could it be that she was trying to even out the votes (I need to double-check the tally)? Perhaps a few of those that Esther listed are actually Coyotes, and she's attempting to distance herself from them, but mistakenly voted somewhere else? Any thoughts on this?

I think that what Damien is trying to say is that Esther might be scum, and that's why she survived the night and Drake died instead.

Oh, my. Two townies dead. It's not as bad as it could have been, luckily. I'm still thinking that Esther is more scum than town, or even Independent, but I'm fairly sure that she's anti-town at the least. It's interesting how she survived, too. Wouldn't the scum have killed her if she's the only known town PR?

This is just how I saw it. Jessica was pointing out my logic, since my "idea" was called stupid. I took that of a way of Jessica saying it was illogical. As for defending me, it's not that you were defending me, but in a way you were defending or backing up the idea of lynching to learn.

Sorry, I've been napping. Alright, Esther. You want an analysis? It seems after I made my post, Michael's follow-up post was talking about "Protecting Sheridan". This rang to me as if Michael is a little closer to Sheridan than we think, and it still worries me a little. It felt like the response I got from Jessica was a town response. Lynching somebody to find out if they're town is surely wrong. But that wasn't really the point. Jessica gave an overall townie response, by trying to point out my logic, and I appreciate that. I'm willing to say Jessica is a member if the Village right now. Molly, however, was slightly different. She defended my logic. I'm a bit unsure as to why, but she defended my logic. It pings me a little bit, but not terribly. Molly has tended to be much more helpful than others. Michael worries me the most, so he may be earning himself a new vote by me.

I didn't think of the possibility of there being a role cop. We don't even know if there is one still. However, it's always an option. I didn't have to bring it up and it still could have been an option. That doesn't mean I have to participate in something I mentioned. It was just an idea that I thought could be brought up so we could discuss. That's all. I wasn't really trying to form a lynch on her, I wanted to hear the reactions of others.

I'm sorry, but I'm trying to buddy up to Sheridan by suggesting a lynch on her? What logic are you using? As for the lynch suggestion, it's day one, and I was just tossing around ideas. We don't usually have something that's worth discussing so much so early in these games, so I was encouraging discussion within the town, to gather reactions. I think Sheridan is town, so why would I really want to lynch her if I had already said I thought she was town? And my reads weren't back and forth. At first, I was just saying what was on my head, but after thinking things trough, that would be a dumb move to make as scum. As for accusing you, your logic makes no sense. You accused Drake, I believe, for some roleplaying he did in the Confirmation thread. Not asked for clarification, but your wording implied an accusation. I, for one, haven't been neutral in any of the topics discussed today. In fact, I believe I've been rather obvious on which side I'm on in today's discussions. It seems you are the one trying to find reasons to make me look scummy. It's almost as if your accusations are OMFGUS-based. Noe, seeing that Carletta has made an entry while I am typing this, it seems like you were sort of asking for clarification, but you jumped to such a conclusion that it seemed like an accusation. I guess I can give you that, but your response to this is unsettling to me. *Now

I'm not sure if this is the right topic for this, but it is a problem. My LDD is updated to the latest version, but I can't get any new minifig parts (There's nothing past Series 5, and only one piece from the series), even under LDD Extended. I'm not noticing a difference at all between Extended and Normal. Is this a computer problem? Also, how do you recolor parts that have only been made in one color, as Paint tool hasn't helped with that, either. Thanks!

I didn't see the "Anyways". That was foolish of me. Unvote: Liz Devon (LegoDad) I'm agreeing with the Esther case. Her logic is far off to even make sense, and she hasn't done well explaining it. Vote: Esther Thompson (Esurient)

Right now, I'm waiting for a response from Liz. If she provides a reasonable response to her confusing theories, then I'll unvote her, and switch my vote over to the next person I see as scummy- Esther. Accusing over font sizes, really? Yes, you've explained it, but you didn't even explain it that well.

I'm actually going to have to agree with Sheridan. It's not that it's not important to get to the bottom of Sheridan's claim, but it's been established that the only thing we can really do is have somebody role cop her, and we don't even know if we have a role cop. I'd say it would be best for the role cop (if there is one) to check Ms. Sheridan, and then talk to somebody they trust to be a member of the village. Has anybody noticed the absence of Ms. Long? I haven't seen her anywhere.

It seemed as if you were questioning Liz's logic. What's even weirder is that you suddenly change the subject to Esther after spending some time referring to Liz, and even then, you spend a rather quick time on Esther. Your quick subject changing not only makes me more suspicious of Liz, but of you as well. However, Liz has been acting in a confusing matter recently, so my vote will be for her. Vote: Liz Devon (LegoDad)

I understand that, but she was asking if the framer affects roles. What confuses me is that the last book I saw her reading, her favorite character was a scummy lover whose teammates had a framer, so I'm not sure why she doesn't understand it. I'm worried she's starting to cause confusion. Apologies, trying, not starting.

Why did you quote an entry by Liz, question her logic, then suddenly vote Esther? Please clarify. The one thing I do agree with, is why someone would think that a Framer would affect the roles. How does that even work?

I don't believe framers work that way. If I recall correctly, framing is to be done with the normal affiliation investigation, so Role Cop wouldn't see she was scum. The role cop would just learn her role, if any. Though I don't know why any scum would want to frame her if she already comes up scum. And looking up, it appears some people have said the same as me. In storybooks, I believe this is called "Ninja'ing".

Esther, I don't believe that you've explained your rather crazy jump in theories. I'm unsure where you got that idea, but please enlighten us. Sheridan, I apologize, I hadn't seen your questions. They appear to be a page back in this journal, I will be back shortly. I did say it was possible to be role-playing, but it was possible that he was buddying up with you. It's not like it isn't possible. I called you out for being affectionate because it looked like your father was defending you quickly without answering anything. Though you are role playing, in all fairness, you are saying your father can't be scum. You just did here. You even called your father out for not answering your question directly, so I have a hard time seeing why you're calling me out for that as you did above. It was a little thing that I noticed, and thought should be discussed. Are there any questions that you have?

Auntie B is awake. It looks like she's just readin' the journal to catch up.
