The villagers began to panic, a symptom of the fear and the stress.
Because of the Witch there was now one villager less.
They gathered together,torches, pitchforks and all,
And en masse marched towards the town hall.
They argued and bickered, a vote did occur.
On who they should lynch, there was death in the air.

[HEADING=1]One of your fellow villagers has been horribly murdered. You need to execute some, send in your votes.[/HEADING]
@Twinkies: Dishonored?
Voted!

It's kickass!
@Jak: Nope, haven't played it yet. Unfortunately, I didn't think about how cliché the whole plague-of-rats thing is until after I posted it. I should try harder next time.
@War_P & Schizzy: Thanks.
@War_P & Schizzy: Thanks.
@Jak: That's a pretty cool looking case. I'm looking at an i5 for the PC I'm building at the end of February, although that's partly because I can forego a dedicated GPU for a while, since the i5 has in-built graphics. I won't be able to game on it properly for a while, but I'm impatient and want a PC sooner.
Edit- Hmmm. Seems the AMD A series also has inbuilt graphics capabilities. Damn it, now I need to do even more research.

@Twinkies: It's a good game. Maybe not great, but still good.
I've never played a game where I've put a fair amount of time effort into finding a way to take out a guy non-lethally (and without getting spotted), then, once I've finally got the guy unconscious... accidentally dropped him down a flight of stairs and killed him.
Until I played Dishonored.

@Trilby: Deus Ex HR does that rather well, minus dropping bodies down stairs. (Except one side mission.)
@Nouw: If you're here, random thought. Since I just remembered the Magic discussion you and I had some time ago, do you have any plans for the Gatecrash prerelease? If you want to meet up I'm going to the morning session on the 27th.

@Nouw: Registering for the prerelease is easy enough. You just give one of the staff your name and which one of the five guilds you'd like to represent. Depending on your choice of guild, you'll receive a guild pack, at the event, that contains almost everything you need.
A Guild Pack contains six booster packs, five randomised as per usual and one tailored to your guild of choice. You use the cards you get in the packs to build a forty-card deck: this type of tournament is called Sealed Deck. Ideally you want 23 nonland cards and seventeen lands in your deck (you can get basic lands for free from the store's stocks of each, but only during prereleases and drafts and such). You're usually allowed half an hour for deck construction, after which you play a few matches against other participants.
Most people will probably be willing to help out an inexperienced player, myself included. If you want I might be able to help with deck construction as well, though I won't know for sure until I see my own card pool. XD
The guild pack also includes an achievement card, which you can complete if you like. I dunno if there's a reward for doing so: you might get a promo card.
With all of that out of the way, which guild do you think you'll go for? The guilds featured in Gatecrash are Dimir (blue/black), Orzhov (white/black), Boros (red/white), Simic (green/blue) and Gruul (red/green). Each one has a defined style of play and a unique in-game mechanic. Do you have a preference for any particular colour?

@CA: I was actually considering taking this to PM but what the hell, these threads have always been used for conversing.
Anyway, thanks for clearing that up although it is a bit daunting, to say the least, to create my own deck. I suppose there's a first for everything! I myself use a white/green but I've always wanted to go black so white/black looks very tempting. It's probably a difficult deck but at least I have a legitimate excuse to suck

@Jak: Yep, it's to save money. But only temporarily. I will get a proper GPU a couple of months later, it's just that this way I can get my PC together quicker. But in the end I decided to stick with the i5 3470, over the AMD.
Anyway, I don't even have a 50% voter turnout yet, and I will message those who haven't voted and give them till tomorrow morning to vote.

@Nouw: I see. From what I've read, white/black is easy enough to do. It has a bit of a control aspect to it, and with the extort mechanic you've got to be sure to manage your mana properly: do you leave your lands untapped for an instant spell in your opponent's turn, or burn it all on life-draining as you cast something in your own turn?
Of course, don't be afraid to include on-colour cards from the other guilds. There's often mixing and matching in a Sealed Deck or Draft format.

@Nouw: Hehe. They aren't mutually exclusive. You just need to provide the mana for them, and be sure that you can cast them if you put them in your deck.
@Nouw: =P Fair enough.
I suppose I should actually build a deck... but I can't afford any of my fun ideas, since they're packed full of rares and mythics. Hmm.
