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.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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.
