This thread is for the periodic newsflashes of the Mushroom Kingdom news! These are the ones that will be broadcast to the nation. All 100% legitimate, of course If you feel I should mention/not mention something, let me know and I'll edit it before Weldar posts it up. ---------- My fellow citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. Dark days are upon us. Once again the evil mafia has risen up, seeking to claim the Kingdom as their own. No more! We must rid our Kingdom of this menace, purge them from our streets, lynch them high! Of course this will be no easy task. So to aid us in our mission I am sending out my diligent team of reporters to scour the streets for clues. Every day I'll provide you with reports on what they've uncovered. The clues may be vague, but surely we can use them to divine the guilty from the innocent. Our first report comes from our informant performing...research(?) into the vice dens. A proposed meeting between the mafia and a treacherous citizen took place last night, surely to discuss this latest uprising. A name arose a few times...the reports are unclear, but the name seemed to make no sense. It was a garbled nonsense, maybe a code word or an acronym. Who was this person? A mafia member, or their next victim? Whatever the answer, stay strong and vigilant, fellow citizens. Until tomorrow's report, this is the Mushroom Kingdom news. Now, onto the weather! -----

Yes please. Although this day phase is nearly over and everyone seems to be witholding their vote/voting nobody, so you might as well roll over to the next day and post the report first thing in the 'morning'.

Actually I think I'm going to extend today by 24 hours, not enough votes/actions yet. Would you still like to send it in today?

Just a note Weldar that I won't be back online until Sunday (right now I'm posting before I go to work), so next update won't be until Sunday. The day should have rolled over by then anyway.

Maybe you could say something like the acronym was said to have a number in it.
I don't think it has to be true...

Stop panicking, TJ. If you start flailing around you'll just look guilty. Look, only one person has voted for you, and people are suspecting Minby/Fobby more. Just stay cool. Wait to see how it develops. I'll be posting a broadcast tomorrow (it's late at night right now for me), so if there's a growing number against you I'll try and deflect it.

I'm just panicking here, where I can afford to. On the actual thread I'm trying to act normal.
I think Fobbs might go out this round instead.

you can also inform them that rumors are spreading that the koopa's, pocketmonsters and waddledee's are forming a alliance to take over the mushroom kingdom its no big info, but it gives the news source some more credit

Here's the next report! Opinions?
-------------
Fellow citizens, we begin this news broadcast with some bad news. Last night saw the death of Surgepox at the hands of the mafia. Surge was an upstanding member of the community, always first in trying to root out those that would plot against it. He will be sorely missed.
Now, the latest developments from our investigations team. This information comes from one of our reporters in the immigrant district. Hiding in a box, he overheard a conversation between two mafia members. He was unable to identify the members; one had disguised themselves with a mask, the other remained in the shadows.
The mafia were discussing their next plan of attack. No names were mentioned, but a photo did pass hands. Our reporter did not get a good look at this potential victim, but stated that he saw 'a glimpse of a hat'.
It seems the mafia are planning on making a move. My advice goes out to you all: stay inside, lock your doors, and do not go outside alone.
Also, with our limited number of reporters, we are asking viewers to send in potential leads or lines of inquiry to pursue. We'll do our best to answer your questions with our crack team of investigators. We will have hopefully uncovered further clues by our next broadcast.
In other news, an academic from the local university, Professor Layton, will be holding a tea and coffee morning to raise funds for the victims of this latest uprising. Unfortunately the time and place has yet to be uncovered since the invitation was sent in the form of a puzzle. Until we figure it out, we'll keep you posted.
