Correct. I do not have a lunch. Fred and Daisy have both claimed they do and Trisha claimed to have one after Fred contacted her in private and seems to have fed it to her. That last part is subjective. It's possible someone else may have a lie detector. This may be Fred's lunch as he twice said there was a possibility the game had two and he's trying to get everyone to say "I'm Innocent" before the day ends. If it's a day Action, he can use it on one of us before night falls. I'm still not clear if lunch occurs during the day or not. I think it does. I don't think anyone is saying that. But you have to be very careful when accusing Fred. When you go against his theories or accuse him of being Scum he gets very and and sometimes and or even or so it's better to verify him by other means and bring an accusation with evidence. I don't think we should trust him any further than we can throw him since, as I hinted at earlier, while it looks like he thought Trisha was being legitimate and trying to work together to get everyone to claim something that could be tested by lie detector, it's equally possible that he was coaching his Scum buddy and got tired of her bumbling it and decided it was time to expose her inconsistencies before he brought her down with him. This is less likely but we'll let Fred explain way complete with and and when he wakes up from his nap. Honestly, I doubt Fred would draw attention to himself this way if he were Scum. However, there's always the freakin' WIFOM of trying to appear like his Town self in order to cover up his Scum alignment... Less likely but still possible ... and a smart way to get people to trust you ... and Fred is one of the smartest. Not always the nicest, but usually pretty damn smart. I'm not a porcupine. I don't think people who disagree with me are Scum. Nor do I think they are dumb. You must have me confused with someone else. I was simply saying that you seemed quick to explain other people's actions away. A tactic we've seen in recent games...of life is Scum attempting to appear helpful by defending bumbling young Townies. Can you feed me a penny? I'm hungry and that's apparently what I eat. I don't know why. And scratch my nose. I like when people scratch my nose.

Can you use it during the day? No objection here. Will you post the results or keep it to yourself. Using it now would certainly stop the Scum from targeting you. That'd be a good way to keep a helpful Townie around. (Or a Scum trying to appear like a helpful Townie). Is that why it's called "lunch" because it's a Day Action? I disagree. When I was Scum in the last life, we made some one-shot claims, which worked against us since there were no other one-shots floating around. Had we known on the first day that there were a bunch of one-shots floating around that people called "lunch" then we'd be able to lie better. Even if the Scum have a lunch of their own, they now know that it's not unique to them and they can use it to try to blend in with the Town. Just my two cents. I eat pennies some times. I'm a hedgehog after all. I do weird things.

But, like I said, that is what a smart Scum could do as well. There's no need to get frustrated with me. I understand what you're saying. I just happen to disagree. She didn't believe you about the lie detector role. OK, but considering you were trying to get people to believe that's what Trisha was talking about with her spirits and vomit-cookies, I didn't believe you either. I believe the lie detector role is real, but I didn't believe it was possible Trisha had it and it was a bit confounding that you were being so adamant it was real considering what was actually coming out of her mouth. If you would've come to me in private about it, I probably would've answered you the same way Daisy did. It was weird that you were so convinced that Trisha was telling the truth when what she was saying was completely insane. I've already said "No". I'm not defending Daisy because I do not trust her yet. I don't trust you, I don't trust Daisy, I don't trust Sara, Penny, Jimmy, Tammy, Shadell, Billie, Ginny, Cece, Dave, Walter, Carl, Patty, Dansmith, Wild Dragon, Amy, Katie, Zara, Heather, Matilda, Sara, Jane, Jimmy, Mike or Trisha. If Daisy was lynched I'm sure that'd be a fine result since she only has a one-shot lunch Action and we don't know if we can trust her. However, I'm keeping my vote with Trisha because she's clearly a liar and she only claims to have lunch because you fed it to her. Trisha's actions seem much more Scummy to me than Daisy not wanting to believe that Trisha had a lie detector. How many times can I say this? I doubt everyone else is getting any benefit from watching us bicker, so I've stated my case plainly several times, tried to get you to look at it differently and I really have nothing more to say about it.

I've known other stubborn people who are not likely to consider that in the future. That surprises me since you're the one exposing that Trisha is a liar, but I guess it shouldn't surprise me that we see things differently. Maybe personal case wasn't the right way to phrase it. Maybe you're just frustrated that she wouldn't go with your plan. "I'm Scum" is still something that can be analyzed. Daisy did point out that could make her the serial killer if she's lying, but Daisy doesn't really like to conform. That's all I meant.

In looking over your case again, this is what I would urge you to think about: despite past friendships or allegiances, we have no reason to trust each other on Day One. Even if you do have lunch. When she asked me in private, I assumed it was something that had to do with the game. I could easily infer that, but wasn't going to pry since, as a Townie, I have no need to. She can tell me what lunch is if she really needs to, but I don't need to know until she has a reason. A smart Scum could infer that an odd question like that means something. It was less subtle than her in-thread post. Something like "Do you know anything about lunch?". But, she could be trying to get other Townies confirmed or she could be looking for Scum to come poking around. Saying you have lunch, as you've said yourself that Scum should have it, doesn't mean she should trust you and believe the lie detector thing, which we now know was utter megablocks anyway. Who's to say Daisy wouldn't have said "I am aligned with the Town" before the end of the day. She certainly likes to be a dick and joke and try to poke people into reactions to potentially reveal anything they might be hiding. Here I go, after going after people for defending others on Day One, defending Daisy myself. But, I'm not defending her. I do not trust her fully yet either. I have no reason to trust anyone yet. But, I don't think you have a solid case for a lynch. I think Trisha keeps digging herself deeper and we're better off getting rid of her. If we lynch someone else the bizarre truth-sprinkle-cookie debacle will haunt our strategies for the rest of the game.

It's clear people aren't reading anything. "I'm innocent" isn't the best statement to give a lie detector if there is one out there. I am aligned with the Town. Say it. Doesn't matter unless someone beside Trish has that action because Trisha clearly doesn't. Hmmm...show up twice to defend two people on the first day. First you defend Heather and now Trisha, who was obviously lying. Interesting. I've come not to trust people who defend others on the first day without having a really good reason... Then you place a safe vote for someone who has only posted once. Interesting indeed. Ping. Someone trying to defend their bumbling lying Scum friend here? Again, why defend someone on Day One this way unless you know something. Fred has an excuse. He has lunch. Weird. Thanks for bringing this forward. Everything she has said is nuts, isn't it? n00b vet Clever. You and Zara are clearly not reading everything. Way to go. This is weak. Daisy has contacted me in private as well and also asked me about lunch. I assumed it had something to do with the game but as I don't have it, I didn't want to ask until she was ready to tell me something. I'm not sure how exposing the concept of lunch at this point is helpful. If the Scum don't have it, now they certainly have an easy roleclaim if we start poking around behind the scenes. Daisy was acting like a dick? Time to lynch! Oh wait, Daisy is always a dick. I know other people who always act like dicks and it doesn't mean they're Scum. Your case seems a little personal at this point. Maybe you are just annoyed that she wouldn't go along with your plan? Drill you. You worried me with your first posts and you've been "helpful without being helpful" since. Why are you jumping right on this Daisy bandwagon. I don't see how this is a good case at all. Maybe I've misread something. The points against her are strong? No, they aren't. She asked people about lunch and then acted like a dick. How are those strong points. Your cookie antics were ridiculous. I'm happy with where my vote stands. Too much megablocks for Day One. If you're Town, I apologize. But I'll be wondering about your ridiculous back and forth with Fred and the goofy cookies for the rest of the game if we don't figure you out now. "I have a lie detector" then "I don't have a lie detector" Lynch all liars. I agree that we should all make the innocent statement in case there's a real lie detector out there (however unlikely at this point, unless it's your lunch... um ... someone protect him tonight) but I think we should all say: I am aligned with the Town. I don't think I'm innocent is as foolproof as I am aligned with the Town. The rules give no mention of innocence. I'm most happy to see you calling Trisha out for her BS. Either you're finally realizing she's not a noob, but a total Scumbag (the more likely case) or you've tired of trying to drag along dead weight on your Scum team and are cutting her loose.

You're a genius.

Do you have the posts?

Yes, sausages are good. That will do fine. I do know a lot of words because I have a computer. I've been smart for some time, long before I could talk. That will help me write my plays later. It has a thesaurus and a spell check. I will have to find a new naming convention for characters. Although, I have no reason to write a play as of yet. Let's hope someone gives me a reason to. Hedgehogs can hardly survive unless they can write plays!

Two horses were killed in one night it seems. That seems to be what the events from the night of the crime show. So, does that mean we are up against more than one threat? In these games...of life, I'm willing to bet the things we saw mean there is more than one threat. However, I would always imagine we would consider that there were killers as the "Scum" of life often come in groups. So, the way you've phrased your concern "killer(s)", possibly more than one, makes me concerned about your point of view. Are you Scum stuck in the mindset that it's just the royal "you", singular, against the rest of us? and there may be another thread that you are not yet aware of? Or are you some sort of serial killer who knows that the murders were committed by more than one particular threat? Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but I'm trying to see if there's anything to work off of with what we've seen so far...

While I agree with everyone that horses are beautiful creatures that only a monster could kill, I do say they should be admired from a distance. Hooves have a tendency to crush hedgehog brains when they're not being careful. But lovely creatures, yes. What the hell are you talking about? Are you suggesting all horses should be exonerated from suspicion? As a talking hedgehog, I know many multisyllabic words. Hedgehog brains are genius, but you'd never know until one of is given the gift of speech. Anyway, I'm not a fan of your suggestion. I doubt all horses are innocent here. When a human is murdered, do the investigators take all humans off the suspect list? Come on...

Oink oink. I'm a hedgehog!

Don't be sorry. It's hilarious.

I'm against organizing the threads into a sub-forum because it would promote the interest and sale of clone brands. I do not see bootlegs and competition as analagous with Hotwheels and Matchbox. Those are two companies who make toy versions of existing cars. LEGO is an original system of construction toy play. The size, dimension and mechanics were invented by the LEGO company and copied by the competitors. I am especially against bootleg companies that put LEGO graphics on their boxes and cover the LEGO logo, replacing it with their own and putting inferior product into the box. I do not wish to dedicate any space or effort to the discussion of clone brands on this site. I am only one of the five administrators here and this is just my opinion, but I do not see us putting in the effort on this subject. I appreciate the discussion and the way it has been presented and I know your intentions are good, but I do not wish to see it happen here.

You are correct. That entry is not permitted by the rules. You probably should start a new topic as this one is about the contest, not your MOC. Thank you.

More new LEGO City sets for 2013 are popping up in our Town Forum (thanks to Grogall for pointing this out!) Discuss the news and see the new high-res pictures in the Town Forum

As with all of our product threads, you can always find the latest new images in the first post of the current years' product thread. Please check there first before posting, but thank you for bringing your news to us.

A little. I could use some more practice, apparently. It's in my profile... Totally free, never busy. Hello? I'm real. I think. I think most people will go for cake or steak, so I'll choose apple.

Come to think of it, I think he was actually typing it in Word or something. It wasn't an issue of posting it on the writeboard first. I think if you bring text in from anywhere without turning off the RTE it adds the font to it...

Why don't you just get the image from Bricklink?

If I remember correctly, he posted the response on the writeboard first for approval from us, and then copied and pasted it over. At least that's what I think happened. There were other odd fonts in this game too from people who weren't on the writeboard so...

I don't think you were stupid at all. Maybe a little inexperienced, but there's no reason to think of your actions as stupid.

And just to drive the point home, you rolecopped Draggy instead of Scumba to verify what he had already told me since you thought he might be part of the cult too. So no, it wasn't just the kill that was changed. You wasted the rolecop on info I had already found out. So there. Sorry, just stating what happened because, in retrospect, it's funny. Just allowing other people to enjoy the mess we created. Not trying to piss you off.
