For anyone who has asked here is what the man who was killed looked like (prior to being murdered of course). I’ll leave it up to you as to whether the woman is Mrs. Messer or someone else.

Monday, March 16th, 2009Downtimes Due March 21st and Experience
Monday, March 16th, 2009Everyone who has created a character may submit their downtime actions for this month.
The downtime rules are located at: http://www.saskatoonbynight.com/darkestnight/downtime-system/
You should include your actions for spending XP. I have decided that I am not going to use XP as a reward for showing up the game or trying hard. I want the rewards to simply be the increased fun you will have from showing up and playing. Therefore at the end of each game every character whether they show up or not is awarded 6 Experience. I am willing to go back to the previous system if the demand is high enough.
I am also not holding back on awarding XP for the players who have not submitted their written material. You simply will not receive the bonus XP until you do so and I will keep bothering you until then.
So for this month every one who has submitted a character sheet may spend their 6 XP although you are able to save it if you wish.

News Release: Jailbreak
Thursday, March 12th, 2009‘The escape should not have happened:’ report on Regina jailbreak
REGINA — Using a modified nail clipper and other makeshift tools, inmates tunneled their way out of the Regina jail over a four-month period — activity that went undetected by more than 80 corrections workers during that time, says a report detailing the incident released today.
Other inmates played cards at a table in the corridor to block the view of supervising workers and the hole was hidden behind the cover of a hot water register.
It was a calculated and daring escape that should have been prevented, Corrections, Public Safety and Policing Minister Jared Thorne told reporters this afternoon.
“The escape should not have happened,” Thorne said, adding one of the escapees later told authorities he couldn’t believe the jailbreak actually worked.
On the night of the Feb. 24 escape, inmates waited until after the 8:30 p.m. head count before using a steel shower rod to smash a hole through the weakened exterior wall, according to the 136-page document tabled by a government-appointed external investigation team (EIT).
The names of the escaped inmates have yet to be released.
Buses leave Eagles fans out in cold
Thursday, March 12th, 2009An Eagles fan is outraged with the City of Saskatoon’s bus service after Tuesday’s concert.
“There were 500 people out there in -48,” Daniel Grant said Wednesday. Grant says the first three buses for The Centre mall were immediately full and he ended up waiting an hour and 10 minutes for another.
Transit manager Mitch Riabko says the system was overwhelmed and changes have to be made.
“What happened was we didn’t prepare. We’ve got some work to do in the future.”
On Sunday night, about 1,600 to 1,800 people used the park-and-ride charter service. On Tuesday, 6,000 people took the bus. There were 27 buses in service but 50 could have been used, said Riabko.
Grant said while waiting, he and another concert-goer noticed 10 to 12 city buses idling behind Credit Union Centre, away from the pick-up area. They asked one driver what was going on and Grant says the driver said, “We’re waiting for an inspector to tell us what to do.”
The buses couldn’t be moved into position until the pick-up lanes were clear, said Riabko, but that was complicated by the amount of traffic the buses had to deal with.
Grant is particularly furious with a worker in a transit van he talked to when he went up to her to complain. “We were pretty incensed but not swearing,” he said. Her response, he says, was, “I don’t care.”
