Trouble in the Streets of Gotham: Day 1
TrumpetKing replied to Shadows's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Aww, look at that cute little guy! -
Very nice MOC, Walter, I love it! You surely have a gift of capturing the emotion in that little kitchen with a burnt turkey. I also love the ladie's reaction! What head is that?

Trouble in the Streets of Gotham: Day 1
TrumpetKing replied to Shadows's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
OK, guys, lets not jump to totally unreasonable, like, accusations. I have a few things to address. Super Guy (Flare): That kitty is totally, like, cute!! He can't be villainous!! Actually, look can be decieving. But that would be to, like, obvious... Mr. Sunshine (zakura): I'm not sure how vegetables will help us find the villains... Please elaborate, especially as your name totally has nothing to do with vegetables. And what powers do they have? The Scoundrel (def): Care to show us what's under the bandages? Fwoosh (CallMePie): I was getting more of a poetry vibe from him. Care to elaborate on your suspiscions? -
Trouble in the Streets of Gotham: Day 1
TrumpetKing replied to Shadows's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
All of you villains better come out of hiding now, because there is absolutely no way you can take on the power of FabuGirl.... and um... the other Superheroes... -
Disclaimer: This is the exact same as my Bloodbath entry. Presenting the ultimately fabulous..... FabuGirl!!!!! FabuGirl (She prefers not to reveal her real name) was once the Most popular girl in school. However, she soon lost her popularity. She then vowed to fight the wrong-doings of the popular girls by assuming the role of FabuGirl, Gothams newest (and strangest)(and most stylish) superhero! (She soon freaked out her classmates by going remotely insane and wearing her costume to school and insisting her name was FabuGirl during attendance.) Using her Brush of Power, she takes down all of those wrongdoing baddies!! However, she changes her hairstyle and make-up every day in order to conceal her identity, which is also the reason she wears so much make-up. (She wanted it to look like a mask.) FabuGirl's weaknesses include water (for it washes her make-up off), and the super-cute boys on the Football team.

Mafia School: Police Infiltration - Conclusion
TrumpetKing replied to Pandora's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
DarthPotato, if konze hadn't sent us the PM, would you have killed me that night? I am just wondering, because that was the day I had looked at Day 2 habits. Also I do need to say that you had the best first-time scum game I have seen. -
Very nice creation and execution for what I believe is a Veteran's day MOC. I espescially like the one rounded part on the tombstone. Are those tiles from the Business Card set?

LEGO Collectable Minifgures Series 9 Rumours & Discussion

It isn't too big, but it would be a tight squeeze. I would also like to see a Medusa, but I would also be fine without one. -

Mafia School: Police Infiltration - Conclusion
TrumpetKing replied to Pandora's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Yay!!!! I am honestly very surprised I passed. I remember during Day1 after being targeted so many times thinking "I am soooo gonna fail". Haha, anyways, I can't wait for any future games. Espescially darkdragon's.. And on a side note, the tablet I was using doesn't even have auto-correct. I just have fail typing skills on it (Not to mention sometimes it clicks on the wrong letters, doesn't type, etc.) Well, I look forward to playing more games, and thanks for hosting this wonderful game, Pandora and Rick. It was an exciting experience. -

I still really regret changing mjy mind after suspecting DarthPotato and Superficial Username. That could have been a townie win, even though I probably would have died that night. -

Mafia School: Police Infiltration - Conclusion
TrumpetKing replied to Pandora's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Well, now I feel really bad for lynching Jared..... I have a question. Since Scorpiox was killed first, does tbat mean in retrospect I came in second, since the other mafia died beforehand? Why couldn't we have learned Lesson 8 earlier!! That was our big downfall yesterday. And a congratulations to DarthPotato (I only really suspected you once, then shrugged it off) and the rest of the mafia. Ignore the below about the role stuff, I will post it later. My iPad isn't letting me erase the very bottom section. It really isn't important, though. I'm a vanilla townie. Finally, a big thank you to Pandora and Rick for hosting this game! I had an amazing time playing, and hopefully I can pass, because I want to play darkdragon's game!! I am so happy that I chose to participate in this, and I can't thank you two enough for giving me the chance to play. I'll quote it properly later but here is my totally non-important role information: -

LEGO Collectable Minifgures Series 9 Rumours & Discussion

Something about the gold makes me want to believe that Series 10 (the golden series) will have the minifigures that were really rare or wanted... But I guess we will just have to find out. -
Mafia School: Police Infiltration - Day Six
TrumpetKing replied to Pandora's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
I hate to do this, I never did suspect him, but thanks to Christine yesterday, I will Vote: Jared I am really shockedv that you were duping us. I didn't believe you were mafia at all, but Christine threw some sense into me. I feel weird voting for you but I know that it is for the best. Bye bye, final mafia!!!!! Sorry, screwed up., Vote: Jared (Ferrik) Jared, I agree with Phil's secind point. Why elhse would I not be telling you everything? Don't expect to find out what happened, tgat really did it for me. There was a reason youh weren't told these, because of what happened. R.I.P. Christine, we have avenged you!!!! I'm not good at chess. But I do play a rockin' harmonica. *Plays harmonica and watches Jared in silence as we all wait for the Chief to get here*- 12 replies

As everyone has said, it does suck to lose Christine. I personally know who I am going to vote for, so I guess we will all have to waita few more hours for the mafia to finally be gone!!! I guess it will be pretty quiet though....- 12 replies

Mafia School: Police Infiltration - Day Five
TrumpetKing replied to Pandora's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Agreed Samantha. I knkw who I am voting for as well. I think we should just have a quick lynch, but it will take te at least four townies left, may I start? Vote: Phyllis (Superficial Username) Phyllis I voted fort you because look at your voting habits. The three times you have voted, they have been for townies. As soon as you saw Zachary close to a lynch, you cha ged your vote to save time, or at least that is what I believe. -
Mafia School: Police Infiltration - Day Five

I believe she was giving everybody she thought was town a bit of help, because she knew she was going to die. -
Mafia School: Police Infiltration - Day Five
TrumpetKing replied to Pandora's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
While that does make sense, you neglected to say that before. However, I don't think that is a worthy reason to Lynch you. Christine on the other hand, I know I just said she migration be town, but she could have been voting for Zach on Day 1 to throw others off. This could also be on Day 2 as well, as she voted early then disappeared. She may not have thought he would get lynched because she has appeared to be in La-La Land for the past days, voting then disappearing, or stating the obvious and disappearing. It is just hard to make a decision because one wrong move and if my theory is correct, we are going to go downhill. Apologies, when I said Migration I had intended to say may. -
Hello again!! The review you are about to read will be a short and small review, but of a small to medium sized set. If you didn't notice based by the title, I am reviewing 853195 Brick Calendar. Set Information: Set Name: Brick Calendar Number: 853195 Theme: No specific Theme Year: 2011 Minifigures: 2 Pieces: 120 Price: $15.99 USD/ €9.99 Links: Brickset My Flickr Introduction I only recently purchased this set about two months ago. I had a bit of money and wanted to increase my minifig selection. So I purchased the VIP Minifigures to complete my Series 3 collection, and I purchased this set, to increase my Series 1 collection. (Despite already having the cheerleader. ) Plus, I just thought that it would look nice on my desk, being dwarfed by the whiteboard calendar I have. Anyways, this set has a very interesting history behind it. It was originally released as an exclusive in LEGOLAND California before being released in select LEGO-only retailer stores. But did this set meet my expectations? Does it work well as a calendar? Read on to find out. The Box Here is the front of the box. I really like this box art. I find it to catch attention extremely easily and it just has an overall good look to it. The colors don't clash and I really like those little colorful dots at the top of the box. Overall, really great job, LEGO. The back of the box shows those teenage rebel minifigures demolishing the set! I never would have thought LEGO would have promoted this type of behavior! Jokes aside, it looks OK. It's not as lovely as the front, but the front is supposed to be more eye-catching than the back. Finally, we have the actual size photo. It is of the Cheerleader, and it is up to scale. I think the picture should have been a straight-on photo without the pom-poms though, because it really helps judge in judging the scale easily. The Instructions When you open the box, The instructions are folded neatly like this, similar to that of a CMF checklist. One think I forgot to mention is that all of the parts come together in a big bag of a stretchier plastic than the usual crinkly kind. The mini instructions then unfolds into: Holy crap! These instructions are huge! Actually they are about the size of a regular 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper, maybe a bit smaller. The instructions are a little bit straight on, and have a very simplistic 1:1 build. Here is the final step, and then a piece assortment. I don't think anyone actually put their minifigures on the top of the calendar. I sure didn't. But I'm going to leave it up to builders if they absolutely have to, even down to the correct stud, or if they just want to keep the figures somewhere else. Interesting Parts We have printed bricks, (the 2x10's are double sided) Pom poms, and a skateboard. I included the hairs because they are useful for minifgures, but really the black Skater hair is interesting. The Minifigures The figures in this set are one of the main reasons I bought it. I think it was a smart move to include two originally discontinued figures. Especially for the price of selling this set for $15. The two of these figures sell for a little less than $30 on eBay together. A very good deal on my part, sense I missed out on this series. The two figures included are the Series 1 Cheerleader and Skater. Very, very well done figures IMHO. I love the Skater's hair, and those adorable pom poms! However, the skateboard isn't printed, unlike the Series 4 and 6 counterparts. Clicking on this link will give you a view of the cheerleader without her pom poms. You will see it is a very nice torso. Seen here is how the pom pom enters over the hands. Neither of them have back printing, but I thought that it would make a good reference picture, and a good look at the Skater's hair from behind. Also, the Cheerleader's hair fits tightly, unlike most Licensed figures with this hair. Teenage Minifigures: Jerks or misunderstood? I came home in time to catch my teenage minifigures totally demolishing the set.They had their friends take pictures of them playing on their destruction. As a punishment, I have taken the liberty of making them rebuild the set. Here we have the minifigures stomping on some plates to keep the calendar nice and sturdy.This part of the build is quite repetitive and irritating, because you have to spend time searching for the number brick, that is, unless you organize them. After hours of number-brick searching, stomping on plates, and trying to figure out how to get to the top to finish the build, the minifigures have successfully built: The Completed Set Here is the completed September 2012 calendar. It looks nice. It is very simplistic, but well-done. Here is the backside. As seen, the 2x10 brick is reversible, as are all of the others. Extra Parts None. That's right, not even the "31" 2x2 brick. You have to turn it so it isn't visible. The Results: Design: 8/10- It looks nice, but really that's it. I feel like it could use a bit more of a "wow" factor. Price: 6/10- It is 12.5 cents per piece, which is pretty lame, but I was willing to pay due to the figures, which are very expensive everywhere else. Minifigures: 10/10- A great marketing idea, and they picked the right figures too, being virtually unobtainable. Spot on, LEGO! Playability: 2/10- You can't really do anything with it. At all. Unless you have your minifigs take it apart. It's just a pain to build again anyways, because you will need a calendar to remeber which day goes where while building. Parts: 7/10- This set is basically a bunch of bricks. However, it does come with a few nice accessories, and the printed bricks are always a plus. The Verdict: 33/50- This would probably be barely a 3 according to my grading system. A good set, but not perfect. Summary: Overall, I feel that this is a strong set. It comes with figures that are extremely popular and rare, and it has printed bricks, but it is a border-line useless set unless you see fun in building it over and over again every month, especially since you need a regular calendar to build it. I'll see you next time, and here to wish a good-bye to the people reading this, I bring you my newly designed sig-fig! Yay!

Mill Village Raid is a great set, I have it and love it a lot.

Mafia School: Police Infiltration - Day Five
TrumpetKing replied to Pandora's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
I have theorized that Mark was our vig, he was the last death tbat had a 2 night kill. Kendra also left a message to me, Phil. Sammie, Phil, it seems that we are typically the ones to talk first, and are usually the more talkative ones, which doesn't give me suspiscions about you two. However, I have some theories. I believe that there are still two mafias left. In most shows I have seen with a predicament similar to ours, there are typically 1/4 of the residebnts being scum, in our case being four. Also, seeing if we lynch a town today, then we will all die, as the mafia will surely kill another one of us, putting us at a terrible disadvantage. Since Kendra is town, then I think we should assume Christine is town too, as she was trying to defend her. That leaves the big fingers to point at Jared and Phyllis. Also, this theory works as well, because excluding Christine, thery have added the least, as well as spoke the least out of the remaining six of us. This factor is a large one to consider. Actually, scratch that. I just looked back at Zachary's lynch. Jared was one of the last to vote for Zachary, and a scum wouldn't try to lynch one of their own even to throw others off. Espescially when they are that close to a lynch. It's just too risky The only two here that didn't vote for Zach are Phyllis and Samantha. Phyllis sidn't vote, but there's no telling what she would have done. Samantha, do you have anything to say?
