Day 2, Night

It would appear that the Mafia have went into hiding since their murder of Quick Shot early this morning. This may be due to the heightened fear expressed by some of our most angry townspeople. While to most people this is just another day in Little Italy, a small group of townspeople have formed a mob in sheer anger and frustration.

When put to the vote, the townspeople decided to hang Shof in the townsquare within the last hour. A raid of his home shortly afterwards has revealed that Shof did not possess anything linking him to the Mafia, however a large amount of medical equipment was seized. The sheriff is hoping that Shof was not the doctor, but with the evidence found it certainly seems this way. This would also explain Shof's close proximity to the murder of Quick Shot yesterday morning.

It seems that the panic stirred by the Mafia has resulted in panic, which has led to the loss of our most valuable doctor. As a town, the people of Little Italy need to come together and share their knowledge, to prevent any further losses.

In other news, there have been reported sightings of Quick Shot's ghost. The local priest has been called in to perform an exorcism, to send Quick Shot's spirit to his final resting place.

Let's hope the Mafia gives us one night's peace.

Good work you lot, hanging the doctor :rofl:

Does that mean that people can't be saved anymore?

Yes, so now the 13 remaining townspeople and sheriff must eliminate the 4 Mafia before the Mafia eliminate everybody else. Who would benefit from Shof's disappearance? I think communication is the key here.

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

Clips from the News Bulletin:

His body was found by the doctor in the middle of Front Street in the early hours of this morning.
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.

If players communicate more and follow events more closely, you should in future not miss obvious clues like this!!

Day 3, Morning

NEWS BULLETIN:

One day on, two people dead. One a victim of the mafia, and one the victim of mistaken identity. On the eve of Quick Shot's funeral, it saddens the Neowin Times to also have to report the horrid death of Ricky S.

Ricky was found dead early this morning at an abandoned warehouse after having being burned alive for several hours. It appears that he died of shock.

The town's Sheriff has gained intelligence that the warehouse has been used often by the Mafia in the past, and several torture techniques that were discovered having being found on Ricky S.'s body are unique to the Mafia.

The local pet rescue centre has kindly offered to take care of Ricky S.'s cat until a suitable owner is found.

We must advise all townspeople not to panic. We must remain strong in these tough times and show the Mafia that they cannot win. For your protection, there will now be a curfew in operation during the morning hours. Any suspicions must be raised to the Sheriff on 555 4247.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
