I also agree to iBrows gun control bill, and JI1223 X's punishing murderers bill.I also propose an amendment to section I of our passed legislation.Amendment I:Owners of weapon manufacturing plants don't have a weapon limit, and can own as many weapons as they want.

[Toarobot18]

As far as I can tell, this is what is being referred to as iBrow's "gun control bill":

I would like, if I could, to make a revision to the gun control bill, and allow weapon business owners to carry as any guns as they like.

It wasn't really a properly laid-out bill, just a proposal. But as it has received three votes, if passed by Burnmad, I would add to the original gun control bill the following:"Weapon business owners may carry as many guns as they like." Edited February 24, 2012 by Toarobot18

[Portalfig]

Oh.Redundant Portalfig is redundant.Sounds about right though.

[Burnmad]

Amendment passed.but yeah guys I have nine widgets and I'm the president so can you please pass ibrow's legislature bill so the government can get paid i dont even have enough money to replace my broken comms device and i cant talk to other countries come on guys

[Toarobot18]

I would like to do some weapons research...

Brightpaw's weapons research, despite a well-thought out experiment, does not produce anything of value this time around.

[tosha96]

Ok, as I promised, here is a better suspect list:Toa OnaraxiBrow (iBrony)JL1223 XKohrak Kal17Burnmad: Toa of EmoticonsZakaroKing JoeTyler DurdenTosha96BrightpawNo-one in this list is being specifically accused, this is just a general grouping for further investigation. Here's how I've color coded it:Red = Our prime suspect at the moment. This is currently me, because I was seen at the crime seen, and I do believe most people still suspect or accuse me. I did explain why I thought I appeared at the crime, but its even suspicious to me.Orange = Someone who is suspicious just because we don't know enough about them. This is usually someone who hasn't posted a lot, besides signing up and getting a job. Its entirely possible its one of them, as its typical behavior for someone with an evil role (In games like mafia) is to stay silent because they are afraid they will get caught.Green = Someone who's views opposed that of the victim. This usually means they supposed a law that Evo didn't, had disagreements about ways to handle issues in the government, etc. I doubt that this drove someone to kill, but again, its entirely possible. This can be another common trait in mafia-type games, where the evil role will still actively participate, and just passively show their disagreement with the good side.Blue = Someone who doesn't fall under that much suspicion. These are people that have no currently visible motive or cause to kill Evo. However, as they all own a gun type weapon, there's still a slim possibility that one of them is our murderer.So far, we're not sure exactly what our murderer's motive is, or why the crime was committed. However, we can't find that out without investigation, so I've just PMed Toarobot and asked to investigate the crime scene further. I'll let you guys know if there's any further developments ASAP.However, there is one clue that I can see: The murderer destroyed the the victims possessions, instead of taking them. This means that the murderer was worried that someone would trace them through the stolen items, which could also mean that he is a high-profile player, who wouldn't want anyone to have anything leading to them. If they were someone relatively unknown, they presumably wouldn't worry about this problem.However, as I'm currently the prime suspect, I don't think its fair to go on without someone investigating me. The only other policeman has no possessions and hasn't posted in a long time, so we can probably assume they have forgotten about this game, or that they don't want to play. If police are the only ones who can investigate (Correct me if I'm wrong here), it would be a good idea to demote him and appoint someone else so they can investigate, and hopefully, rule me out of the equation.

[Let's Henshin!]

@Tosha, Like I said before, I have an alibi.

[tosha96]

I know, but its possible that you could have PMed Toarobot what you were going to do a day or two earlier, and then the action only happened recently. We don't know how much or how little detail you are allowed to include when sending a PM to attack someone, so maybe you can include a date? We do know that the murderer most likely specified for the items to be smashed, so setting a date is entirely possible.I don't really suspect you, but I just want to rule out all options.

[Let's Henshin!]

I see, now who want to have the items smashed, and are we missing anything when it comes to Evo and his possessions.Also for someone who doesn't want to be the PoliceMatoran you're doing a really good job.

[Burnmad]

I'm demoting FF and giving his position to Brightpaw.

[Toarobot18]

By the way folks, I will be gone for the weekend, starting tommorow morning. I will return on Sunday. In my absence, the game will be temporarily frozen. No widget/item transfers or purchases, and no actions such as voting for a bill, attacking a country, stealing an item, etc., are allowed. If someone does an action, they will have to re-request that action after I return. The reason for this is so that players have an opportunity to see things happening and respond to them before other things happen, rather then all actions happening all at once when I return.I apologize for the inconvenience, but this gives everyone a fair chance to react to current events. However, discussion, including proposal of bills, is still allowed. Therefore, this will give everyone a nice opportunity for a break to catch up on what's happened, discuss BZ Nui's future, and turn their attention back to other things, such as Lloyd's mafia game. I will post later to activate the freeze, and again when the game resumes.EDIT: Processing Burnmad's request. Welcome to the police force, Brightpaw!

Edited February 24, 2012 by Toarobot18

[tosha96]

Thanks I figured I might as well work with it, since its what I've got. As for his possessions, I'm pretty sure we aren't missing anything. I don't have any screenshots or quotes, but I seem to remember him not having a lot. One of the reasons he probably made an easy target was because he didn't own any weapons. However, we might have missed something, and an item or two might have been taken.Also, the results of my investigation of the crime scene:

Investigation Result:Unfortunately, despite spending much time at the crime scene, your investigation is unable to come up with conclusive evidence.

I know screenshots aren't allowed, but hopefully quotes are. If the aren't, I'll remove it.

[Toarobot18]

Screenshots are only prohibited at this time for revealing BZRepublic Goals. You may still reveal BZRepublic Goals using other methods. You may reveal anything else using any method you like.

[Burnmad]

Welcome to the police force, Brightpaw!

YOU PROMOTED YOUR SISTER THAT'S NEPOTISM I SAY http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/mad.gifAnyway, Super Sleuth/President Burnmad will be investigating the murder.As soon as I figure out where the magnifying glass on this pocket knife is. *fiddles with butter knife*(JK)

[Toarobot18]

Beginning freeze.

[thelonewander]

i will join this game. sounds fun!

[Toarobot18]

Thanks, I'll set you up. By the way folks, the freeze is over.

[Gentleman of Science]

Can I join in again as businessmatoran?I think it was a week since I died...

[tosha96]

The First Evo: If you are allowed back in, did you get any sort of message before your death that would aid us in finding the criminal?

[shadow pridak money gang]

This appears to be made deliberately hard. Probably a contract hit. I'd definitely look at some higher-ups: no regular Policematoran could pull this off to the level of efficiency we've seen so far.-Teezy

[tosha96]

Alright, with that in mind, I'm going to start off by investigating Toa Onarax. I'm sending a PM to Toarobot with the investigation request as we speak, I'll post the results as soon as I get them. I'll continue doing this, going down the list and crossing out suspects, until I find something.

[Toarobot18]

The First Evo: hasn't been a week yet.Thelonewander: your Goal PM will arrive shortly. You have 24 hours to buy food before you'll need to eat.Tosha96: policematoran investigate crimes, not people. Your investigation is complete, although another policematoran could try to give it a shot.Everyone: I'm processing a food-eating cycle. Also, a Foreign Status report is due.

Edited February 28, 2012 by Toarobot18

[tosha96]

Hmm, alright. In that case then, I'm going to have to take a different tactic. Toa Onarax, would you please respond to each of the following questions? Please try to respond as truthfully as possible.1. What is your albi for the time of the murder?2. Who do you suspect is the murderer? And why?3. What do you think of The First Evo's opinions, and how do your opinions differ from his? (This applies to all the aspects of this game, and any disagreements you may have had with him outside of this game).4. Why did you purchase your weapon?5. Suppose for a moment that you are the murderer. What would your motive for the killing be?6. Again, suppose you were the killer. What would your motive be for destroying his items instead of taking them?7. What is your opinion on going to war against Westerak, for whatever reason? And why?

Northraxxian business profits fell 5% this quarter. The Northraxx Matoran Investment Agency is reported to have acquired the remaining assets of Digiclon Device Inc.

'Until Westarhk withdraws their intruding forces from Telanui, our nation cannot be on good terms with Westarhk. However, at this time, we can only wish Soso Nui the best of luck.'"PRESS REPORT: "A bid by Westarhk for over 200 widgets worth of J6 Rifles was blocked by Eastland authorities this month, in a move that is sure to annoy officers of the West Eastland Guns company."WESTARHKSTATUS: HostileOFFICIAL NEWS: "We only ask that foreign nations not interfere with our attempts to come to a solution to this problem."PRESS REPORT: "Supreme General Melisku received a commendation from our Great Leader, Atalin, after leading the Westarhk Matoran Army in another victory over corrupt Soson militants during a successful defense of Telanui."SOSO NUISTATUS: FriendlyOFFICIAL NEWS: "After heavy fighting, our tired soldiers were forced to pull back from Telanui.

Brightpaw owns a weapons store as well.--KK17

[Burnmad]

Perhaps you could make a comms device store? And maybe donate one to your president who has no salary and can't afford one and therefore can't conduct diplomacy with our surrounding nations? But seriously senator-people, pass iBrows legislature from page 6 or 7 (or maybe 8) 7, your president, and you guys, need moneeeey. Actually, repost it with some minor changes to decrease the amount of money given to the government, we don't even need that much, but we need some.

Product creation processed. You need to name a price if you are automating sales.

[thelonewander]

what do you guys think is a good price for comms? need to know for sales.

[Brightpaw]

I will buy a balco berry. JI1223 X - I agreed to the contract, but Toarobot needs you to agree again I guess before it starts. I did some research and it failed, but if our army is going to get better weapons I need to try again. I investigated the murder with no results. As a police matoran, if we ever get a tax bill, I think I should get payed too.

1. I can't remember what I was doing. XP2. I have no idea.3. I can't remember his opinions, or if he even ever voted on legislature. I don't keep track of who voted for what, just how many voted.4. Self-defense. Not like we have a Secret Service or anything.5. I suppose to put someone I preferred to him in power?6. I guess to put suspicion on someone who has something to do with those items?7. At first I wanted to go to war with them, but at this point I think I can eventually resolve the situation peacefully.8. It broke, I suspect, from overuse, as I was contacting the surrounding nations very often.
