Return to the Island.

Your humble servant was about to make his breakfast sandwich, as he, i.e. me, got a breaking message by El Igore (thank you, btw!): the Island is alive again.

I have to apologize to you, my noble readers. I wasn't really able to stay tuned about the Island live. I had many things to do meanwhile, like, you know, my own marriage, and stuff.



But now I am glad to come back to West Unfictionopia and I advice you to follow me. If you haven't did it before I did.



Anyway, here I made some Polaroids to give you an idea of my wonderful travel.




McNutts rolls from rock

But how enormous was my astonishment, as I heard about extremely disturbing news.

The news came from a dude named Wangsley. But let's be nice and respectful to him, because he is kinda new representant of the brave Emperor Harold McNutts. The problem is, Mr. McNutts has disappeared. With all the ferrets. As Mr. Wangsley said first. His second message was pretty more disturbingierly:

Harold T. McNuts is dead. When I went through the video footage, just a few days after he "disappeared," security footage shows Harold and a certain Press Secretary(I think this was a new one) headed for a small helipad on the roof of his mansion. There's a bit of an argument between the two- not sure what about, as there's no audio on the videos, but one thing leads to another, and Harold stormed off. I started flipping through the different cameras and discovered he was heading to the secret harbor via Segway(NOW who drives- drove- a sissy vehicle?) with PS in hot pursuit. When they arrive, there's more shouting, and Harold attempted to throw her off of a cliff into the ocean- but she held onto him. I can only assume the fall killed them both.

Somebody unknown leaked one photo to us, and I cannot really get, what's this. Perhaps it's the scene of the fall from the cliffs.

But we will continue investigations. The case of Mr Krop was also not really easy to understand.

Must Read

Our Mapmaker and Registrar of Deeds, Mapmaker, did great work. He made an application to one event *which-cannot-be-named-here*. And this application contains two great maps:

Island Map
City Map
Twinkieville Application (PDF)

The last document is a great and till now the completest infoctuary about our Island!

Thank you, Mapmaker.

Dear friends, come back to the Island and bring your friends and family here, because we have already the first task:

Rebuilding the Population.

It's travel time!

Our dear Emperor invites us to a travel:

The time for the big move is upon us. That said, it's time to pack up your bags for the island. A few stipulations are in place:

Each person should pack only things they absolutely need. As we all know, no one will abide by this, some will pack things merely for the sake of want. In order to keep down the sheer volume of luggage, I'm asking that you bring with you only 3 items. Of course, food and other essentials will be provided or readily available from our distributors who will stock our markets. Unfortunately, these distributors only arrive annually. Your task is to decide what 3 things apart from food and other provided items you would absolutely have to have with you on the island.

Collaborate with your fellow islanders! No one will be pleased if everyone thought to bring pots and pans for cooking with them, as 70+ sets of cookware are rather unnecessary. Finer points: if you have a favorite article of clothing, bring that particular article. Simply saying "My entire wardrobe" will not suffice. Clothing/uniforms will be provided for you upon arrival(and in various fashions and design), so if you choose clothing, bring only your favorite articles.

Think outside the box! For one year, these three items will be your only personal belongings that you will have from home. Once you've decided what you're bringing, send an email to for inventory purposes. Also, do note that the cruise will be leaving the port on Thursday. Make sure you have your items submitted by Thursday at 5 PM EST when the ship will leave port.

What are your items?

Hurry up, the time is near.

Here are the items, Minister of Art Kosmopol will bring at the island:


1. My favourite pipe



2. A plan to the huge Museum of Arts, with plenty of keys for every islanders (who can enter the museum every time of the day or night to enjoy the beauty of art)



3. An old keyboard, to play in lonely winter nights or on happy big parties.

Mysterious cards

We asked people to send us cards they've got. Here is the first responce.

This list will be updated.

BREAKING NEWS: Progress of the investigation

We've got a fax. Right now. It seems to be an autopsy analyse of Mr Krop's body, made by Dr HJ Tesseract. Even if it's confidential (even more: it's confEdential, what does mean the highest rank of urgency), we think, it's important to inform you, dear fellow citizens . (The original seems to hang somewhere at the black board in the City Forum building).


The detailed analyse leads to more questions than it can answer - the case of MrKrop seems to be still mysterious.

The main points from the paper:

* the case is classified now as homicid (i.e. murder)!
* there were multiple objects used to kill Mr Krop (there is even an assumption, these objects were actually teeth). Has anybody seen a predatorian animal lurking at our island?
* he was perhaps poisoned! Take care in the taverns all over the island.
* he had tattoo of butterfly somewhere on his body.
* he had actually faked documents => we don't know till know anything about his real identity (if he had one).

After it, there were another weird thing, mentioned by Sheriff Jelloarm in his official Announcement:

Preliminary crime scene investigation brought the following evidence to light, found in Mr. Krops’ inside jacket pocket – three cards, depicting what appear to be question marks.

We have some information about people, who found in their own mail boxes similiar cards. If you are one of them, please send us these cards in comments. We should investigate, who were the murder of our MrKnop. And what's going on with our peaceful island.

Who killed MrKrop?

Many of us knew him as an introvert person. He wasn't uncommunicative though, he had just his special way to handle with society. His discussions, full of questions and mysteries, obfucsated people.

As El Igore reports, he said once:

I certainly have not made many friends. I seem to -- irritate people.

He really didn't have (m)any friends. Even more, he had perhaps enemies. Who knows?

It begun as his ID was hacked. Somebody changed his Hitchcock alike profile with bloody signs:


Mr Krop remained cool, but defeatist. He said to Caseys Mom:

If the facilities of the island can't protect me I doubt if a new identity will be of much assistance.[...] The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily. That is what tragedy means.

And the tragedy came.

Today Sheriff Jelloarm reported:

On the morning of March 10th, 2009, one Alfred Krops was found dead, propped in front of the door to the Sheriff’s office. Foul play has not yet been ruled out, though no suspects, motives, murder weapons, or even place of death have been brought forth, as it appears that the body has been moved. The autopsy is currently being done by the good Dr. Tesseract, and results will be forthcoming.

MrKrop is gone. But he still remains in our memories.
Like in this beautiful picture of Atomic Snowflake:

Jelloarm and DrTesseract are investigating. And also the Island Forensic group.
