Jesus F R A C – From Pandora, one of my favorite titles ever. This is something I said in response to an infamous map, yet it has nothing to do with the controversial oil drilling practice. Kills for Cash? – Not sure who this is from but it's because a suspended member accused me of being a mercenary. It takes all kinds. I believe I have been remiss in keeping up to date with my titles here. Glad to be back on track.

A house and a pool are attainable with time and money. The point is there is no opportunity for most to get these figures. And yes, people want them and it's OK to want something, especially considering it's raised in a respectful tone. I disagree that anything in this topic has gotten out of hand, but the staff will intervene if it does.

I don't believe his letter carries any sense of entitlement.

Welcome, Bob. Now don't screw up or we'll kick your megablocks out!

It would be great if he had more examples. Perhaps I'm unfamiliar with the interface but does he have just the one signal photo? I apologize but the ideas he describes are much more exciting than the first picture that came up. Visually, it seems really boring to me.

I uploaded my pictures from BW.

The quality of the review aside, I rated the set itself Poor. I admit to not being a fan of the architecture line because I don't like micro scale, but for the most part I've been able to understand the appeal of these sets. I think they've lost it with this set. And lost it bad. This is a poor representation of a beautiful example of historical architecture. This set doesn't do the real site any justice and looks like a bad MOC, in my opinion. All the classic curves and angles of 18th century architecture and the beauty of the fountain and the sculpture are completely lost and a little white thing with trans-blue windows remains. Boo, I hate to say, but boo. Nice review, bad set, mediocre parts pack.

Hi Fush. Welcome.

Beautiful job! I'm used to these things rolling onto the job site I used to be on covered in ads for construction insurance. Very unique parts usage. Realistic build.

Please don't be disrespectful to other members. Thank you. Though, I do love your response.

TLG just sent out this clarification about the packaging: The decision has been made to change the packaging for future “LEGO® exclusive” Star Wars™ sets to include the UCS seal and de-link from the core Star Wars packaging. In addition to the packaging change an update has been made to the building instructions. The building instructions will have additional pages detailing the model’s connection to the movie and its development process. Much as the Creator Expert badge differentiates the larger models from the core assortment the goal of this change is to better communicate to builders that these sets represent our biggest building challenge in the LEGO® Star Wars™ theme.

Doesn't he have it when he returns from Ben's and they find the slain jawas?

Forgot about that. Thank you.

Hey, Trumpetking, I really had a blast playing this game. Thanks for hosting! Scuba, will we ever be on the same side? Tammo, we were on the same side this time! Funny I never fully trusted you guys even though all signs clearly pointed to yes. CallMePie, do we always talk to each other during these? I guess we do! TPRU, this may be the first time we've worked together as well. And we were actually on the same side for once! Trumpetking, I think you hosted very well. The first game was good and this was even better. There's still room to improve, but you are doing a nice job. I would remove the complication of alter egos in the future. You can either discard the concept altogether or give the Scum valid fake claims that won't get them busted. I know you like the idea of alter egos because of Steampunk but realize that it was because they were protecting the royal family. I realized I left the Scum at a handicap when the Town started discussing claiming their alter egos and said in the conclusion I would give the Scum valid alter egos in the sequel. Make sure to check all angles before setting a game in motion. I know you were frustrated with the Scum's fake claims but that was in your control to avoid. A few members of the Town were confused by it as well and didn't even realize there was a difference between alter egos and roles, so make sure you're communicating clearly when giving players info about the game. I do think the Scum had an uphill struggle and the game focused on the fake claims. I think Cecilie said it on the dead writeboard, it became guess the claim, not Mafia. I still think it was Mafia and we had an extra tool to find them with. We wouldn't have known the claims were false had we not caught Scuba for instance. While I'm at it, why did Peanuts bus Scuba? What was your intention? Anyway, once we were onto one false claim, we had a trail of three to follow. We did decide to kill Darkdragon before we knew for sure about Scuba. We were deciding between Jamesn and Darkdragon at that point. My stupid obsession with asterisks and underscores indicating writeboard usage led us to choose Darkdragon over jamesn. I was convinced by Tammo that my accusation was silly, but we left it out there to see if anyone would latch onto it and also accuse Metroid with the underscore concept. That's why we settled on Darkdragon. Anyway, it was a learning experience for all and a ton of fun. Peanuts, you had me fooled. I wouldn't have guessed you were Scum. Good job figuring that out, Tammo. Good thing I was dead. I really would've argued against you on that one. Thanks to the Scum for killing me so I could enjoy my vacation! Thanks to everyone for the fun game.

Great game so far, Trumpetking. I had a blast. Thanks for hosting.

Vote: Jeffrey Norris (jamesn) This is a simple policy lynch: Lynch All Liars. Jeffrey now claims that he is the Skydiver and not the Evil Knight as he previously claimed. He says he's a third party, the survivor, that can win with the Town. I call megablocks. And while I think it's a valiant effort, I have to say I think it's the swan song of the Council. That being said, I admit I think you had an uphill struggle with having to claim fake alter egos. This is not a normal part of Mafia games. In Steampunk, to metagame and conclude before the game has -which is rather unfair to the host - the Town tried to claim alter egos to draw the Scum out, which made me realize my error in not giving the Scum valid claims, so I forbid the Town from being able to do so. In the conclusion I said I would give them valid claims in the future so the story could play out despite the easier strategy. That being said, I do think it put you in a difficult position to have to claim something and guess what would make safe claims. The host seemed to try to provide by making our PRs non-monstery. You made the gamble of claiming dead characters from the last Mafia game which seemed to work at first but in the long run didn't pay off. Our only clue that it was the lynchpin for our winning was when we caught Sally Scumba Scumface lying, which despite whatever challenges the setup provided, was an epic Scum lynch and we wouldn't have known it was the false claims that indicated the Scum unless we had caught the lies from Sally. But, my point-besides lynching Scumba and catching her lying was awesome and fun for us-was that I appreciate and respect the valiant effort made since then by the remaining Scum. Jeffrey, trying to claim Survivor was a bold move and deserves nothing but respect. However, it's not enough for us to risk and the policy lynch must occur. We have to lynch you, you lying liar with your liar flaming pants on fiery fire. Good game. I think the conclusion, to jump way ahead, will say that you guys fought a good fight with the cards you were dealt and we'll advise the host how to avoid the complication in the future, but also plenty of advice of how you might've been able to steer a better course towards victory with the hand that you were dealt. Good night sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Usually the night (or "knight") kill passes on.

I'm on vacation until the 9th with limited internet access. I'll do my best to check in once a day.

There's a pattern to the Scum's claims. And it looks like we protected the right person too.

You haven't seen IRC or you haven't seen underscores make italics in IRC?

Oh dear, I seem to have removed my skirt and panties! Why would I do such a thing? Oh, I know. It's so the Council can kiss my daffodil-yellow megablocks. You are so going down. You all suck. Don't forget to kill me tonight. I know all of your false claims. Time to take me out if you want a chance at winning this. But you won't because you're bok-bok-bekok! Chickens!!! Kiss my megablocks.
