I really am surprised that somebody who is so openly critical of the host and the other players doesn't have a thicker skin.

I want to (again) apologize if I've somehow hurt peoples' feelings, because that was never my intention. I have never deliberately insulted anyone in this game, nor do I want to. I'm looking for friends and having fun here, not enemies.

I just don't like to read that people want my character killed off, or insinuating that I need medication instead of my character, or laughing at my expense etc. It all makes me feel unworthy to play this game. I was severely bullied at school when I was a kid, so perhaps my skin just isn't as tough as yours.

Remember, laughing at someone is different from laughing with someone.

Good point. Sandy's clearly not having fun with this, so please lay off the jokes. Thanks everybody.

Hey. If you make an unlikeable character, you're going to nbe insulted. A lot. In and out of the game! I'm fairly sure that Howard and myself will be stoned before the game is up.

On the other hand, I'm starting to get really annoyed by Hinck's comments towards my chracter. I'm just trying to help. I've stopped doing ANYTHING at all crazy. I've been volunteering information, and saying my thoughts, and every time Hinckley posts directly after me asking someone to kill me. What's so bad about me asking the Fram Group if they collected any useful information?

Oh shut up or I'll kill you.

Honestly, your character talks a lot, making the same points again and again, and your posts are lengthened by insanity and talking houses, so it's just a little tedious. It's a fun character, though. Herman is just annoyed with you at this point because you seem to have a different objective than the train passengers and we weren't getting anything done. Anyway, settle down.

I'm officially confused.

This whole thing is just leading from one thing to another. First off, I don't understand the point of this safe. And who the heck is this Jennifer Chamberlain person?

Oh yeah, and when's there going to be murder on the Emerald Express?

Although I really am enjoying all this, it's quite funny.

(Please pardon my ignorance. )

I've tried to drop all the random shit to a lower point. And I've been making the same point becuase no one acts upon them. Actually people rarely act upon anything. If it's one thing that I dislike about these games, it's their speed! We're all so indecisive!

Wow.

I think we're all getting a mite serious about this game.

Let's tone it down! I don't want to fight through all this personal nonsense every time I log on.

I had thought this thread was for discussion about the game, not how you're being treated in it...

In my opinion the way you're treated in a game is a pretty big part of the whole experience. If people don't feel comfortable, then they will eventually leave, and if enough people do that, the game will eventually die out, so I think it's better to speak up before that happens.

Anyway, thanks Hinckley for making this girl feel a bit better about herself again.

I wouldn't call this fighting. I'm not angry, and I sure hope Hinckley's not angry about me saying that I was tired of his character being mean to mine. I think we're just saying what's on our minds.

I've provided a summary of facts (not all necessarily clues) in Chapter 8.

PLEASE NOTE: I will be unable to post between now and Wednesday evening, but I'll go ahead and leave Chapter 8 open for discussion. Actions may occur once I return from my trip and I catch up with the thread.

See you soon!

Be sure to not miss anything.

Guys, I know you're having a laugh at the expense of my character here, but please try to keep it from getting too personal. I'm a person with feelings as well, and right now I don't feel very welcome to participate in this game...

Sorry, Sandy, I (and I think/ hope all of us) did not mean to make you feel this way. We're all just immature, and I certainly don't dislike you. I hope you'll have a more decent time from now on.

Does anybody understand what this guy's saying? I can't wait until this game is over and he stops talking in that dog accent. Good boy, TheOtters. Good boy, sit. Stay.

Seriously. I tend to just skip over the "R" words in Scruffy's comments.

I love you all. Ok, maybe thats a bit much, but whatever. Have fun. This is a great game, but it's just a game. Oh and for life, a bit of advice I have to remind myself of every so often... Don't take yourself so damn seriously. It's funny to me how people put themselves in the fire and then can't take the heat (I love that cliche). My pony joke was funny as hell. Sandy, I hate it that you were offended and I appreciate you setting boundaries. The pony won't really bite, it's made out of Lego.

Lego does make Mindstorms and Power Functions for a reason, you know .

No worries people...I will literally kick Ricecracker in theass at Brickworld!

Yes, please, and make it a double.

Sure. If I would've realized how it was making you feel earlier, I certainly would've stepped in sooner. Glad you're feeling better.

I cried all day because I thought you were mad at me. You and I know eachother well enough. And Herman hates Howard. He's only just met him and he just can't stand what comes out of his mouth. But Hinckley like Zepher. Zepher nice. Zepher good.

My pony joke was funny as hell.

One of my favorite jokes on EB ever.

And he'll have some help.

Speaking of kicks in the megablocks, I owe you a layout map.

Oh god .

Yes, that could prove to be useful at one point or another .

Hello Everyone:

I just made it back tonight and have a little time to catch up on some mail. I see that there was some discussion while I was away, and I'd just like to share a few thoughts:

I've really enjoyed all of your participation in the mystery. We've really had some excellent players this time around, all with very unique abilities. I've found this mystery very interesting to host, thanks to all of you and the wit that you've shared (often LOL reading the numerous posts).

At the same time, I'd like to keep the focus on the mystery, vs. the interactions and style of the participants. Keep in mind that we all bring a different perspective to the game, and that's what makes it "DYNAMIC".

This is an enjoyable game with jokes, innuendos, international wit, and puns, all intended to make things more fun. Let's keep it light and enjoyable for all to continue to enjoy.

I'll catch up later in the morning before I'm off to celebrate a special occasion.

Will post soon!

Since things will be hotting up again soon, and since The Brickster has made a last-minute demand for votes for his Classic Town entry, I refer characters fearful of their diminished life points and potential game longevity to the Classic Town Contest voting thread...

+99 Life Points for Schmelt and another 6-pack for everyone who votes for me (if I take Hink down)!

Damn he is good!

I'll be proud to be your Mayor.

I voted bricksters just for helping also it was my favorite.

I don't really need the extra points; I'm already too good

Anyway, I voted way before the bribery started

Now this guy understands the role of a true Murder Mystery participant! You better hope he's not on the Town Council, because if he is, and Hinckley falls, he's wearing a speaker with the "Voice in the Sky" over his head. The "Big Giant Head" looks favorable on those that offer tribute!

I don't really need the extra points; I'm already too good

How can anyone disagree!

What's with all this corruption? Talk about unfair play! I voted for TheBrickster a while ago, but I want to revoke that and give it to Hinckley now.

-99 Life Points for being a Hinckley kiss-up. You'll never get the Emerald started again! Flip-Flopper!
