Day 2, Morning

NEWS BULLETIN:

It is with deep regret that the Neowin Times must announce the untimely murder of local townsperson Quick Shot. His body was found by the doctor in the middle of Front Street in the early hours of this morning.

Initial reports claim there was no struggle and Quick Shot appears to simply have been 'in the way' and unlucky to have ended up the victim of this tragic hit-and-run incident.

The sheriff has spoken to locals who claim that they saw the Mafia's orange wagon cruising down the street late last night. "It was almost certainly the Mafia", the sheriff said.

The doctor tried to resuscitate him, but unfortunately it was too late and Quick Shot was pronounced dead at the scene. The doctor claims he died instantly.

May Quick Shot rest in peace and continue to live on forever in our archives.

I can neither confirm nor deny my involvement in the Neowin Mafia, nor can I respond to any questions about my where abouts at 4:00 AM Monday Morning due to legal advisement of my team of lawyers.

Now if you'll excuse me I have a meeting to attend at a little italian restraunt down the street.

Will ALL players (yes that includes Mafia members) PM me their vote as to who they will be voting to be eliminated off as a Mafia suspect.

It is in everybody's best interests to discuss their votes here, as well as recent events and suspicions, or else the Mafia may be able win over the votes and murder yet another player tonight.

About the day/night cycles, will everybody be able to play their parts around the following times:

thank god im like 5 hours behind so i will be awake and alive during most of this

As for Quick Shot:

I seen him early before and he was acting a bit tipsy. I told him to let off the booze and that he should head home. He told me that he was not drunk and wants to visit his friend. After that, i seen him running down the middle of the street. A speedy car was unable to avoid Quick Shot. I seen the impact on the corner of my eye, from what i seen it was a hard impact and he was killed on impact

Edited by Shof

i was visiting new your city at the time and looking out my hotel room window, saw shof on the streetcorner watching the terrible 'accidnt' that befell quick shot. i also saw someone else come out from a dark alley and walk to the body of quickshot and shoot him seven or eight times in the head at close range. then they dropped a rose onto the body and walked away. it was not a pleasant scene :blink:

^How could you? How do you sleep at night? :cry:

How will you feel when you have kittys walking around our mafia mansion with gps devices set up by other mafia gangs? What will do you, let the kittys live and allow the other mafia gangs find out where we are or just kill them and disable the gps device?

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
