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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
