I'm sure he will.

Can't pass up on that offer, now can I? Thanks.

Happy Birthday Boney!

Happy Birthday LuxorV!

Wrrrooof! Holy megablocking hell. Uhm... Go Villagers! The ones that are left. Thanks for letting me play Hinck.

Thanks for the review. I agree, despite the limited number of parts, it actually makes a pretty good parts pack. It's certainly one of the better Friends polybags. They must be happy to have you on board then.

Why is everyone so quiet? Are you all trying to solve that anagram or are you looking at me? I'm female! Tell 'em Bookie. *searches for her handcuffs* Wrrrooof!

Thanks for yet another extensive review of a set in the Architecture range. I don't tend to but these, but I do enjoy reading the reviews as the line is totally different from anything else LEGO tends to release, with often surprising techniques being used. Are they visible at all once the build is complete or are they just a little easter egg to discover as you're building the set? When looking at the pictures I was surprised to see that they add a bit of interior detailing, only to cover it up with a non-removable roof. I guess that's dictated by the odd number of pillars, which the whole building seems to be scaled around. That seems necessary because the SNOT constructions on the roof rest on studded plates with the LEGO logo on top. System SNOT bricks would only be allowed to rest on studs without the LEGO logo. The holes in Technic bricks are slightly higher than the sideways studs on System SNOT bricks, allowing for the height of the LEGO logo on the studs.

Time to revive one of my favourite threads. It seems like TLG is finally switching to 5-digit set numbering for all sets as of 2013. From Brickset:

Reviewers Academy Teacher and Special Themes Moderator Rufus presents a Eurobricks exclusive review of the latest Architecture set 21014 Villa Savoye. Head over to the Home of Architecture, the Special Themes forum, to read the entire review and comment.

You seem to want it out in the open, whereas I acknowledge there may be good reasons for Pennie to trust Gibson. What I don't understand is why, if it's sensitive information, he does feel the need to declare publicly that he's going to talk to Gibson privately. If he's a Villager, he's only giving the Cultists more information. Don't look at my stump(s).

There are quite a few people drawing attention to themselves and right now it feels like most of them feel comfortable enough to not respond to suspicions or just shrug it off. Villagers should try their best to not 'act weird' as that will make it much more difficult for us to catch the Cultists, because they are trying to not act 'weird'. I think someone like Ralphy should know that by now. This is odd. Why would he be informed of this and why would he only now come forward with this information? You make it sound like you're confirming Ernie's story, while all you do is confirm that you told him this in private. If you woke up next to a treestump (as you seem to have told Ernie), it doesn't seem likely you have turned into a tree stump, which the vote seems to confirm now. If your tree stump story is true, someone should have lost the power to vote. But even if it turns out that someone's vote doesn't count, it could be that the Cultists have the power to take away someone's vote at night (for a day or permanently), and this is the story you and your buddies came up with throughout the day. Why would you hide the fact that you 'woke up next to a treestump' for so long when you were under suspicion from the start of today? So, even if someone turns out to be voteless, it by no means is going to clear you. Vote: Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88) Why are you all looking at me? I'm not a treestump. Treestumps are... lumpy and I have curves, lots of delicious feminine curves. Look at them! Ask my Bookie. Your change in behaviour stands out and I'm confused as to what not wanting to share sensitive information with all of us has to do with your change in behaviour. They seem to be two unrelated issues. But it makes me, and - if you're a Villager - the Cultist too probably, wonder why you feel like you can trust Gibson with the information. What has he done to earn your trust? Did you just contact him because he called you out on your change in behaviour? That'd be an easy way for the Cultist to get information then. And even if you do have a good reason to trust Gibson with the information, I doubt it's a good idea to basically declare publicly that you trust him and you're going to share sensitive information with him. I doubt you'll get reelected. Ernie's fishing.

I think we're still waiting for his view on the events of the past days, but maybe he doesn't feel the need to contribute if there are no votes against him. It's just past noon. Why are you always talking about the night? Don't you want to look at me in the daylight? Some people are calling your behaviour suspicious... You don't say an awful lot to help us find the Cultists. Is there something you want to tell me Bookie? I agree, yet still there are people not really offering their input, like my husband and your sister. I did notice that too. He Uoooh-oooh-sed to have an opinion on almost anything. Did anyone see frogs near Gordon? I remember you being pretty determined about the day 1 lynch. If they're not saying much, chances indeed are they're not going to say anything suspicious.

Are you serious? We're not going to get rid of the Cultists by only relying on people who can figure things out at night. We can't simply 'forget' anyone's actions. If you really are a Villager, you might want to start offering your input at this point. I hope you've been paying better attention than the crazy cow claimed she was. You talk to us as if you're not a part of this Village, which makes me wonder what you are part of. So, who's flying under the radar according to you then? Who are the Cultists waiting to hop on a bandwagon? If only it were that simple. They probably spread out. Some vote early, even against one of their own, some late. Now stop looking at me like that. I do have eyelashes, they're just not that big.

For his 100th(!) review, Eurobricks Moderator WhiteFang continues a tradition and reviews the brand-new Collectable Minifigures Series 8! Read the in-depth review in the Special Themes forum!

If the Cultists are behind Bristol's death, perhaps they were trying to cause confusion by killing her... and it looks like they succeeded. Bristol was called out by Portia for her inactivity, so it could be that they were trying to make their kill look like the work of a third party or the Village vigilante. You're right. Why are you looking at me? I'm very feminine. Look at my voluptuous curves. Why does everyone always seem to think bulldogs are male? Did you notice the 'jack' in front of the red truck? It's right next to the broom used to clean up Carly's body. Next to Heidi's, Ralphy's comment indeed stood out to me. He seems to know for sure Bristol was killed by the Cultists and goes on to suggest that there was no kill because the janitor cleaned up the body. Is he trying to make us dismiss other possibilities, like a blocked killer?

The collision with the bandwagon was described as fatal yesterday. Indeed, I can't imagine having their (designated or not) killer killed will prevent the Cultists from killing. I can't imagine those being substitutes, unless the Cultists are somehow prevented from killing every night, but have to use another action. However, I think the most likely explanation is that the Cultist killer was blocked or had their target protected last night. As Maurice already indicates, having the name of the person who was blocked last night could provide a valuable clue.

Poor Baxter. He didn't strike me as particularly Culty, so my best bet is that the trap-killer is some sort of third party and not the Village vigilante. No Cultist kills for two nights in a row would be odd, so I guess Bristol was killed by the Cultists on the first night, unless - as Gilda suggested on the first day - we're facing a recruiting Cult. Did anyone spot any brown frogs? Let's hope the Cultists don't employ poison and we'll at least learn Carly's affiliation tomorrow. Unless someone has a better lead, perhaps as a result of last night's events, I think Ralphy's odd behaviour on the first two days may be the best thing to follow up on.

The Eurobricks team were lucky enough to have some questions about the Friends line answered by the Friends Designers themselves. Read the exclusive interview in the Town forum.

... at least it's green. I need another drink. Wrrrooof!

Wrrrooof! Oh, uhm, Bookie, your wiener is all red and swollen from all that chili powder. It looks like it's about to explode. Hang right in there while I quickly grab a Butthead at Gibson's pub.
