I too think that we need to start voting people out, especially if we really did loose our investigator last night. Waiting for some miraculous "evidence" to drop into our laps will only get us sane ones all killed before long, so voting is our only option. Now the only question remains, who do we vote for? So far, Leo Nathans, Wyatt Fandorski, Governor Brian Mason, Callie Peterson and Shirley the chef have been dominating this discussion. I'm not saying I trust any of them, but I'd say we'd do well to shift our eyes to those who have barely said a word. Bill Campbell, as well Mike Collingham and his sons, are all quite withdrawn. Got anything to hide, perhaps?

What are you, six? The Weeping Angels are creepy, I admit, but they're not exactly the type of monsters to "haunt your nightmares for the rest of your life" - especially in this latest episode, where they overexplained them. It's always better to have some sort of aura of mystery around monsters rather than to know exactly how they behave and why - that just makes them all the more scarier. "Time of Angels" was not a bad episode at all, I really like River Song (even though I'm utterly confused about the timeline of her relationship with the Doctor), and it was funny how the Church has "advanced" to have a military organization within it. But as I said, they unfortunately made the Weeping Angels a whole less scary with all the exposition. Their first appearance in "Blink" was just so haunting that I kinda knew they couldn't exceed that in this episode, though. This is a two-part serial, anyway, so I'll wait for the next episode before I judge the storyarch completely.

M-my colleagues! Both dead, just like that! And Drake, that s-o-b! I considered him my father figure, and it turns out he was cuckoo this whole time! What can I say? We rescuers are a tight bunch and no badmouthing is accepted between us - it could jeopardize our effectiveness and cooperation during missions, you see? But I have to stand down at the face of the truth, and admit that I was wrong to trust Drake. Is there any chance I can now assure you guys that I'm sane, like Patricia was?

Now this is what I call a Mafia game!

Whoa, wait a second! Girls are becoming more infatuated by Drake, aka. "Mr. Mustache", than me?! Now that would be a good reason to vote him off!

Or if one wants to buy all 16 in one go, they can just browse through all the bags until they find 16 different barcodes. I wonder if the salespeople will have patience for this, though, as it'll take quite a while.

Nowadays I only use my game characters as avatars if they're purrty.

No. I said Carter had a good point that the real insane ones will most probably do their best to keep up the image of being sane. That unfortunately includes Drake as well, but so it does many others.

As much as I hate to even imply that I'm suspicious of my fellow rescuers, you're making a lot of sense, Carter. You're a sharp guy, aren't ya?

I'm with you on this, Mr. Caveman. That naked old man sure is confident about himself. I'd keep a close eye on him if he would just put his pants back on. If you guys want to just go to sleep without voting now, then I'm fine by that, but don't come crying to me when you wake up with your throats slit open. However, I will not accept any fingers pointed at my colleagues or me. It's impossible for us to have done anything to this poor girl who was murdered, and as for the reason why both your plane and our helicopter crashed down, well, nobody knows for now. The bottom line is we came here to rescue you, not with guns blazing. If we wanted to kill you, we would have just left you here to rot rather than risking our butts to save your ungrateful behinds.

Well, no offense, you crazy cow, but none of us three were even near here when the murder of that girl happened! We have no idea what happened to our helicopter, and neither have you. So be very careful before blurting out ideas like that.

But on the other hand, when we sane ones are the minority, there's nothing we can do anymore. The kiddo has a point: we don't know if any evidence will ever drop into our laps, and voting is our only option of ever besting the crazies (unless someone goes vigilante on their megablocks). So yeah, I'm all for voting, but honestly nobody is suspicious enough just yet for me to vote them. Well, except the naked old man, but that might just be my urges to get rid of him so I don't have to watch his shriveled weiner anymore.

Hey! Steroids have never hurt anybody, and if you disagree, I'll punch your face in!!! ... Whoa, got carried away a bit there. Sorry 'bout that! My point is that Johnson is a seasoned veteran of rescuism, and you'd do much better listening to him rather than the politician.

Ooh, so close to 100! I sincerely hope you break it, and it looks like you will. Maybe a little frontpage advertising might make people find this topic?

I don't think a bit of roleplaying is forbidden despite of this, am I right? Especially in the beginning of a Mafia game where things are still more relaxed, I find it enjoyable to build up a personality for my character, no matter what my actual game role is. Mind you that I'm speaking this in a general sense, not related to this game specifically.

What are you talking about? We are a bunch of strangers stranded on a solitary island, and if we don't have a leader, we'll soon find ourselves eating each other alive (not literally, I hope). So keep your metagaming incessant ramblings to yourself and concentrate on the cooking, honeypie. As for voting someone, it strikes me odd that the naked guy believes the poor babe stabbed herself and then proceeded to lie to you about there being insane people here. Why the hell would she do that to herself, after surviving a damn plane crash? Nevertheless, I wasn't here at the moment it happened, so I can't really point fingers at anyone. We just have to be careful not to let anyone lead us into false conclusions...

Wow, the Dragon Knight's printing is stunning! Unfortunately it could've been divided better, since it looks like neither the legs nor the torso can't be properly used with another option without making them look "cut". But yeah, this is a very nice set for being the "smallest non-impulse" in the line. Nothing surprising, but great minifigs and good amount of pieces and accessories.

Because your bossy attitude isn't helping. I trust Johnson with my life, and I don't trust you're capable of anything other than holding cocktail parties. Now, who's up for a swim? If the ladies want to go skinny dipping, I'm all for that as well.

My colleague, Mr. Johnson, is the brains of our group, whereas I'm the muscle and Miss Rockford is the... well, you know. I think Johnson gave a much better motivational speech right before yours, so why don't you step down from that high horse you rode in on, turn over your fancy cuffs and help us yourself. Oh, and Leo, I think Miss Teller is perfectly capable of swimming, judging by the size of her floaters.

Who made you the king of this island? I will gladly go salvage what ever is left of the airplane. Dangerous jobs like that are best to be left to stubble-faced macho men like myself. It figures that the fruitcake's the first to throw his hands up in the air and go bathe in the sun. You know what they say about male airplane stewards...

Your dwarves look good, although not extremely original. Nice use of the new PoP-pieces in them, though. I'm not a big fan of using hairpieces on female heads with fringes - especially if the colors and shapes don't match - but I do agree with you that the Pippin Reed head is perfect for female dwarves.

I have a minor request: could the rules of each contest category be pasted into their respective Entry Threads as well? It would be logical to see the rules in the same place as the entries, so we can easier remind ourselves what requirements the category has. Thanks in advance!

Everybody just stay calm! We're here to rescue you! People, there's no need to panic, I assure you! ... Oh, you are calm already, huh. Never mind then.

Surprise! I made it in after all! Although I don't think anybody even noticed I wasn't in the player list...

Uh, no offense, but that's just slopes and "cheese pieces" put together. And apparently a few of those newer and smaller rock pieces. It isn't too hard to do, and I can't imagine what advice people could give you other than "cover everything with slopes until there is not a single stud left in sight".
