A very nice scene you've built there! I'm digging the modularity of the building, the "amphibian vehicle" is a nice original touch, and the statue of the not-so-heroic knight is a fun detail too. The only thing that bothers me is the mishmash of factions guarding the gate. It feels like there's almost a battle going on about the rulership of the gatehouse, with so many different crests adorning the walls and the various flags and several different uniforms on the guards. If that was your aim, though, then I'm cool with that.

I adore Eddie Izzard, and this is arguably one of his funniest jokes. I love how expressive you've made the otherwise simplistic giraffe. The mouth movements hit the speech spot-on, and that does a lot for the video. Well done!

I was actually thinking of trying out how this head from the Atlantis theme would suit the Lizardman figure. Too many teeth, perhaps?

Great pictures, I must say! I really liked the individual shot of each piece. A nice catch on the similarity of the dwarf head and the Blackbeard head, too. But didn't you notice that the dwarf has a beard even without the actual beard piece? There were quite a many typos in the review, so you might want to look through your text again.

Looks wonderful. Not particularly Parisian, except maybe the rooftops, but I'm sure this block could fit Paris just as well as any old town in Central Europe. I especially like the lively shop windows. I'm just wondering why you didn't make the trees full of autumn leaves? I think they would look better if you replaced the green with autumn colors.

Well, drats. It seems I've become a bit rusty with such a long time since previously playing Mafia. But thanks for the game, Quarryman. At least I got a handsome character to play as. <3

What the heck are you rambling on about, Drag-Queena? I didn't respond to your inane receptionist joke because it felt like a set-up. I'm fiercely loyal to my wife! Do you even know what I do for a living? I'm a manager at one of Quentin's chocolate factories, and a damn good one too! I didn't say we decide or publicly vote about who to investigate, I was merely answering to the suggestion that we choose someone to investigate. It would be stupid to pick just one, because of course I'm aware that the Not Loyals could easily manipulate that decision. Hence I suggested we give a short list of names so that the investigator has at least something to choose from if they cannot make up their own mind. But if that still sounds too risky to you, then we might just as well sit here doing nothing while the scum picks us up one by one. What is this blackmailing? How have I contradicted myself? I'm accusing Richelle for not saying hardly anything until she was voted, and then immediately jumping to defend herself, which proves she was around anyway. My boy, I know you're young and perhaps not as well versed in the game of family politics, but we Loyals need a lynch. We do not know yet what roles we have in play in this twisted game of life, so our only weapon is to vote, and hope that we nailed a bad guy. If we do not lynch at all, then the Not Loyals will already have gained a free kill (unless we can somehow block them). Of course the Not Loyals have other means in use, so they will aim to distract our votes and steer them away from themselves. And if they cannot vote out a Loyal person, then a split vote is the second best option. So by suggesting that, you've now raised my suspicions towards you. You disappoint me, boy. It did raise a red flag for me, but Rupert was the first one to suggest it. Besides, I would never vote myself, because I know I am loyal. The Not Loyals would probably just use such a move against you and turn all the votes for you before you knew it.

Then we select two or three people up for investigation each day, and let the investigator make the selection based on their own judgment (which he or she will no doubt use anyway). That way there's at least a change for us loyals to get results. I'd say we should investigate any of the three remaining people on Fuschia's list tonight, if one of the four is voted out.

I made a choice between the two options. It would've felt quite grotesque to vote my own son to be lynched on the first day. Of course, if I find out that handsome brat has been scheming our family's doom, I'll strangle him personally. I know this must be hard to you, Tammo. It is your wife we're talking about after all. But if she turns out to be Not Loyal, you'll be glad to have gotten rid of her.

Look who rushed in to defend herself? And suddenly you have an opinion about everything, even things discussed hours ago? Did you maybe get a nudge from your scummy pals to be more active? Nah, I'm not convinced you're scum, but neither am I sure you're innocent. At this point, it's all up in the air and we just have to make a choice. Or would you guys rather have Quentin shoot one of you at random?

If you understand why I voted for her, then what more do you want? A five-page essay on the matter or something? I don't know if she's innocent or not, and I have no way of telling it, but I do know we have to vote out somebody, so why not under these circumstances vote for the most silent one? If you have better suggestions, I'm all ears.

That does it. Richelle has been one of the most silent ones today, and if she doesn't contribute she might as well go. Thus I vote: Richelle/Ricecracker.

Nuh-uh, that wasn't me. Fuchsia was the one who made that promise.

I wouldn't touch your pie with my a ten-foot pole, Drag-Queena.

Oh Irena, please! Do not eat that slut's pie! It could be seething with poison for all we know!

So, then you are openly accusing Petra of being the spawn of Satan scum, Henry. Sorry, I wasn't sure if you were serious about that earlier. I wasn't defending her either, I was suspicious of you. As much as it disturbs me to target a little girl, she is a bit too trigger happy for her age, isn't she? If others vote for her, I'm in as well. Sorry, PP.

Oookay... Thanks for making me get stuck to wikipedia for a few hours yesterday, by the way. Those articles about games with secret rules were just so fascinating. Hmm, I wonder if a game like that would work on this forum as well...

You're welcome! Although, now you have two rules that state pretty much the same thing.

Today, I'm prouder than ever to call myself an adult fan of LEGO. Check this out: http://aboutus.lego.com/en-US/PressRoom/CorporateNews/article/334982.aspx It's not just green washing, either. TLG has taken some serious steps towards sustainability and preventing deforestation. Thumbs up, TLG!

It's not a harp ( ), it's one of those old whip pieces. The kid also seems to have a bone on the other hand, so maybe the whip is supposed to be a leash for the dog?

Hey, back off Dragana! These are my kids you're talking about! I made them, and they both took a hard night of heavy thrusting and squirming to get done! That's right kids, it's about time you learn about bees and flowers.

It's not boring if the white is accented by the other colors (grey, brown and transblue), and the bones may not have stood out that much, but they would've integrated to the whole building much better. If you want to, try it out some day when you have enough white pieces.

Ah, your family is giving me a headache again, Irena... Listen, I don't know which one of you guys are not loyal to Quentin, but I sure as hell am. I agree that being open is most likely our best weapon against the scum, but I don't think we should lay all our cards on the table on Day One. If there is an investigator, I believe they should come out only after they've found out one or two of the scumbags. The protector should focus on keeping the most active relatives alive, because I don't believe the not-loyals would go around loudly accusing people. As for any other roles some of you may play, I don't think you should reveal them straight away, but only if you become under the threat of being voted out. It's hard that we cannot make secret allies, but I have high faith in my two gorgeous children and my lovely wife that they wouldn't betray their patron. Because if they do, I'll give them the spanking of a lifetime. Now, who to point a finger to? Isn't Henry the Chocolate Goatee the firstborn of Quentin? That would mean he's the most eligible to take on his father's firm after Quentin is gone, am I right? I know it's a long shot, but something about accusing pretty (albeit a bit pudgy) little girls just rubs me the wrong way.

Can I note that the rules 7. and 8. contradict each other. The first one says that private discussion is done at your own risk, while the latter forbids it altogether. I know this is a PMless game, but could you edit that bit so it's less confusing, please?

So... A game of Monopoly, anyone? What about Trivial Pursuit? Charades?
