News : Gallery to be the site of New Public Library

View of new library.


The BALLS is becoming a popular spot.

Bay Area Lending Library Services (BALLS) is the new cool place to have hit Sinners Bay town.
With its glamorous views of the bay through its generous gallery windows, the BALLS library is cited to be amongst the most ambient places to go and is fast becoming a hot spot for networking and socialising.

BALLS is introducing monthly reading club gatherings as well as other workshops in a bid to bring culture to the masses.
Only time will tell exactly how Sinners Bay residents will take to this idea.

News : Art Theft Leads to Gallery Closure.

The short lived Sinners Bay local artists gallery (SLAG) saw foreclosure on its premises when an art theft left the gallery completely devoid of its contents.

Early investigations seem to point to the gallery's chief curator as a possible suspect in what looks to be an inside job.

Neither the curator nor the police were on hand to give the press a statement at the time of this report.

News : Public Service Law Amendment

The Public Service Law (PSL), implemented by the local council in December of last year, was again revised earlier this week.
The white papers issued by the council advises citizens and visitors to Sinners Bay to be aware of the following :

Under the PSL, any person may be lawfully traded at public auction in Sinners Bay Market Square for a specific period of indentured labour as a form of restitution.
Rather than to incur more public spending in costly and lengthy legal processes; the law immediately applies to all persons who are unable to afford or unwilling to pay for any form of incurred debt.
A person who has been served with a PSL is actively placed in public auction for a period of 48 hrs during auction days. The public is invited to make private bids for any person on the auction block and their PSL contracts.

Persons whose PSL contracts are not bought by the public during auction, must serve their sentence in one of the following jobs* :
1) Selling Fish and Chips at the Cod Father
2) Waitressing at the Dogs Bollocks Pub
3) Table Dancing at the Dogs Bollocks Pub
4) Manning the laundry at the King Koin Laundrette
5) Offering Maid Service at the Bay Motel

*Job conditions are specified in each individual PSL contract and varies uniquely. This may involve the use of special uniforms, specific service or other apparatus.

A PSL can also be issued for the violation of the following state laws.

a) Prostitution without a license
b) Gambling without a license
c) Jaywalking
d) Leaving a vehicle unattended
e) Drunk and disorderly conduct
f) Impersonating a police officer
g) Obstruction
h) Littering
i) Shoplifting
j) Disturbing the peace
k) Public Indecency / Lewd Conduct

A PSL circumvents the need for prisons and prisoner systems.
The PSL is only suitable for minor and petty offences carrying a maximum sentence of up to 1 week.

News : Swamp Thing Kills Again

On June 28th at approximately 2pm in the afternoon, two bird watchers stumbled across the brutally mutilated body of a dead woman in the Sinners Bay swamp lands.
The unidentified woman was approximately 5'8" weighing 140lbs with medium brown hair, and found dressed in cotton pyjamas.
Whilst there were multiple knife wounds and lacerations to the body, her clothes did not appear to have any blood stains.




Medical staff at the crime scene, a Miss Jessica Jinshu (RN), declared the woman deceased. An exact cause of death may later be made known in autopsy findings though it is likely to have been a direct result of the violent slash across the victim's throat.
Miss Jinshu also commented that the body of another woman sustaining identical injuries had also been found in the swamp last month.
The police were again unable to comment at the time of this report.

Horrific Murder in Sinners Bay

Woman Found Mutilated
by Isabo Baxton

May 17, 2010, Sinners Bay -- Early Tuesday morning, police found the corpse of an unknown woman in an alley. The woman had been stabbed multiple times. The torso of the victim's body was covered with slash marks mainly focusing on the woman's breasts. One nipple had been almost completely severed.

As usual, Sheriff Gary Menna was unavailable for comment.

The following is a "confidential" autopsy report filed by Dr. K. Balut of the Sinners Bay Medical Center.

Autopsy Report May 17, 2010
Performed by: Dr. Kayleigh Balut

Victim: unknown, Jane Doe
Age: Mid/Late 30's
Height: 5 foot, 7 inches
Weight: 130 Pounds

Subject is an adult female. Subject has not yet been identified, dental records and DNA check is being performed in an attempt to positively ID the victim.

Subject appears to have been in fair health at time of death. External exam indicates multiple knife wounds all over her body. Most wounds are shallow, designed to inflict pain rather than damage. None show signs of healing, which would indicate that all wounds were inflicted over a short period of time, less than four hours, likely all in less than one hour.

Wounds listed as follows:
Right arm - three wounds to the upper arm, two to the lower, all less than 1/3" deep.
Left arm - four wounds to the upper arm, one serious cut to the inner elbow, one wound to the lower arm, one very shallow on the back of the hand. Inner elbow wound severed major arteries, and would have bleed profusely. All other wounds are consistent in size and depth to the right arm.
Torso. - Multiple wounds to the upper torso, concentrated on the breasts. Deep puncture stab wounds at the site of both nipples, depth of two inches. Right nipple was also sliced, nearly removed from the breast.

No stab wounds found below the victims waist. Defensive knife wounds are minimal, and no DNA was found under the victims' fingernails.

Large cut to the throat, four inches across, two and one half inches deep, severing the jugular. This is the cause of death.

Minimal blood found on the victims clothing, cotton pajama top and pants, indicating that the body was cleaned and dressed post mortem.

Internal examination of the organs show the subject to be in poor health for her age. Early stage cirrhosis of the liver is evident, as well as weakening of the heart muscle. A small stomach ulcer is noted at well. Toxicology studies indicate substantial amounts of narcotics, and blood alcohol reading is .08

Mystery Man or Felon?

Lee Blackcinder. Who is he, really?

By Isabo Baxton

Sinners Bay, May 9, 2011 – Lee Blackcinder, local bounty hunter was recently been identified by a Second Life Bureau of Investigation (SLBI) agent as being the fake identity of former marine Sgt. Hannibal Smith.

The former Marine was stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina during the 1980s. In March of 1991, Blackcinder/Smith was tried and convicted for killing an officer sometime during December of 1990. Several members of his squad witnessed Blackcinder/Smith repeatedly stabbing his commanding officer, Lt. Robert Hanscomb and shouting, “Merry Christmas! (expletive deleted)”.

Smith was sentenced to life imprisonment in Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. On July 4, 1997, Smith (Blackcinder) and 7 others escape from their maximum security wing during a raucous 4^th of July celebration. Only 2 of the escapees were recaptured.

Smith (Blackcinder) resurfaced as yet another alias, Mark Black, in 2000 during a drug war over methamphetamine trafficking in Oregon. He was rumored to be a high ranking member of the West Coast Oregon Pagan Motorcycle Club chapter. After 13 members of the rival gang died after a series of fire bombings in rural areas of Oregon, Blackcinder disappeared, once again eluding authorities.

Sometime during 2009, Smith/Black/now Blackcinder reappeared in Sinners Bay claiming to be a bounty hunter. The Daily Sinner interview several of his targets and all but one of them claimed he used “excessive force” in subduing them. Interestingly, the majority of his female targets claim to have been sexually molested but refuse to testify against him for fear of reprisals.

The following account is by a victim who, for reasons for her safety, is known only as “Lori”.

“Hello, my name is Lori and I'm twenty two years old. I was on a road trip with a couple of my friends for spring break. I had to take a ferry that would lead me to a city where my friends were located but unfortunately, I fell asleep on the ride and ended up in a city called Sinners Bay but the town seemed so peaceful that I didn't expect anything to go wrong. Lee Blackcinder, took me to a bar in Sinners Bay. I drank a bit too much beer.

"I wasn't aware of what was going on when we went to his "lair". I never thought that he would ever harm me. He seemed like such a nice guy. Well, I was so wrong. He shoved me in his dungeon, ripped off my clothes, and used me in a sexually deviant manner. I was just beginning my life journey and he turned it upside down for me. I feel like part of what makes me who I am was stripped off of me.” At this point the interview ended due to the hysterical sobbing of the nameless victim and this writer’s complete lack of compassion.

Anyone having additional information about Blackcinder’s past should contact the Daily Sinner and the police department as soon as possible. Do not approach him as he is considered armed and dangerous.
