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.

New Editor to take the Helm at The Daily Sinner

Associated Sinners Press - April 16, 2011

Sinners Bay, Second Life - Rumor has it that a new editor has finally been named to replace interim editor Shaggy Littleboots as editor of the Daily Sinner.

Ms. Littleboots will continue to work as first Ass Editor and help with the transition.

When asked if she regretted not being named editor, Ms. Littleboots responded, " Uh, Uh, wow, er, I guess it's not like a major disappointment, or nuthin. I mean, uh, I guess that since the new editor realizes I'm still the number one ASS, administrative support specialist, the best ASS in the office, that while that's not like ult, much less ult mag, uh, sure. I mean it's not like they're gonna pay her ASS anymore then they do me, so yeah, uh, it's ok. I'm cereal, it really is." ".

Sources are quiet at the moment as to the identity of the new editor. But this reporter has it on good authority that the new editor is a an incorruptible crusader out to rid the stain of corruption from Sinners Bay.

Isabo Baxton Attacked in Home
Suffers multiple injuries
Thursday, April 18, 2011

Early Thursday morning, Isabo Baxton, local resident and part-time bartender at the Dog's Bollocks was assaulted in her home after a rumored altercation in the bar.

She was found around dawn lying in a pool of blood by her friend Louise Dreadlow.

After spending some time rummaging through Ms. Baxton's personal effects and apartment searching for clues, Louise Dreadlow called the police and rescue squad once she realized that Baxton was still breathing.


The police arrived very quickly after the call, responding in only 90 minutes. Much to everyone's surprise, Baxton still clung to life. When the police asked Baxton if she knew who attacked her, the victim mumbled something that sounded like, "hat-wearing, f***tard."

Medical personnel say Baxton's injuries include a gunshot wound to the right buttock, a broken arm, broken ribs, punctured lung, broken nose, and multiple contusions. She had not been sexually assaulted.


All photographs of the victim and crime scene come from confidential sources.

Baxton was treated for her injuries and sent home to recuperate. Sheriff Gary Menna questioned Baxton Thursday evening and had this to say about the incident. "The perpetrator of this heinous crime will be caught. This type of thing is unacceptable in the Bay."

A confidential transcript of Sheriff Menna's is attached at the end of the article.

Sheriff Gary Menna has requested that anyone who may have seen Baxton arguing with aforementioned hat-wearing, f***tard should contact him immediately.

Confidential Transcript
Transcript of Sheriff Gary Menna questioning Isabo Baxton
obtained through confidential sources

Gary Menna knocks loudly on the front door. "Hello, Sheriff's office."

Isabo Baxton snores on the couch.

Gary Menna shakes his head, growling a bit and pounds on the front door. "Hello....anyone home?"

Isabo Baxton opens one eye and shouts, "You better be pizza delivery or I'm gonna fire my shotgun through the door." ((The lock on the door has been shot off.))

Gary Menna frowns a bit, thinking he heard a voice inside and pushes on the door.

Isabo Baxton looks up groggily at the person and with more than a little fear, "Get away from me, you cabbage-eating shithead!"

Gary Menna grunts, spotting the woman on the sofa and moves over. "Sheriff's office ma'am. I hear there was some excitement last night."

Isabo Baxton narrows her eyes and tries to focus and it finally registers that it's the sheriff. "Oh. Hello."

Gary Menna reaches into his pocket for the notbook and pen. "So did you want to make a report ma'am?"

Isabo Baxton contemplates this a moment, "Yes, I would."

Gary Menna flips open the notebook, running through the pages of drawings to a clean page and clicks the pen. "Alright, so what's your name?"

Isabo Baxton: "Isabo Baxton. Who are you again?"

Gary Menna nods, scratching that out on the page. "Sheriff Menna, miss Baxton. So what happened last night?"

Isabo Baxton: "Um, well I was bartending across the street and I was talking with one of the nurses, Jessica something, my friend Sienna Glas and the the whorehouse madame named Lissa-something and um.. Shoot, let me try to remember. I got Jessica a glas of red wine, Lissa had Jameson's neat, Sienna drinks vodka and cranberry juice." Shifts her weight to take the pressure off the bullet wound in her ass.

Gary Menna starts to smile slightly, thinking of the redhead nurse taped up and naked a while back. The smile starts to get wider thinking of a chained up naked Lissa, then he coughs a bit, starting to draw some stick figures on the page. "I see, so you tend bar over at the bollocks?"

Isabo Baxton nods her head, "Yes, yes, I do. Then someone came in wearing pajamas with fruit on them and he had a Mexican coffee which is coffee, kahlua and cream. Then..... " winces again. "Would you mind handing me the bottle on the table there?"

Gary Menna frowns a bit, moving over to the table and grabbing the bottle. He takes it over to the sofa and holds it out. "This one?"

Isabo Baxton smiles and nods and extends her good hand, "Yes that one. That's the oxycontin right?"

Gary Menna turns the bottle to look at the label and nods, handing it over. "Yep. So pajamas and Mexican coffee?"

Isabo Baxton opens the bottle slowly and fishes out a pill and swallows it along with a swing of water. "Then... well things get foggy for me. I remember Lissa taking off her pants, Sienna taking off her dress, the pajama man leaving, At some point, I lost my shirt and there was a lot of shouting. I remember opening my door to my house and small arms fire, then nothing until the medics found me this morning."

Gary Menna moves back to the chair, leaning back on it as he adds some flames to the little stick figures. Looking up to raise an eyebrow. "So there was an orgy going on? Before the gunshots, that is?"

Isabo Baxton thinks a moment and is not insulted at all that Gary thinks there might have been an orgy. "You know, I don't think so. There was this man... big guy.

Isabo Baxton closes her eyes trying to remember. "Bald, kind of hard to understand, smelled like cigars and cabbage and...." eyes fly open as she obviously recalls something. "OH!"

Gary Menna shrugs a bit, the interest going out of his voice. He starts to draw a robot on the page. "Hmmm, okay. So then, this big guy, was he the one shooting?"

Isabo Baxton nods, "Ah sure, yeah, I think so. Apparently, he shot the lock off my door, broke my arm, my nose, my ribs and shot me in the ass."

Gary Menna nods, adding a raygun to the robot before waving the pen to indicate the bruises and cast. "So you got shot first, then beat up?"

Isabo Baxton: "Oh, when I got home, I think it was the same guy who ate all the chocolate and left the toilet set up. " looks confused. "No, beat up, *then* shot."

Gary Menna lowers his head back down to the notepad to hide the smirk. He draws a spaceship on the page and then adds some lines from the raygun to the spaceship. "Yeah, us guys do that all the time. Well, I don't care for chocolate much. Anyway, do you know this guy? Cigar and cabbage guy?"

Isabo Baxton shifts her weight again, "No." then adds, "but the Madam, Jessica, Sienna or the Pajama Man might know."

Gary Menna taps the pen on the notebook, admiring the latest doodle for a moment, then looks up as he flips the notebook closed. "Okay, well we'll call you if we need any more information Miss Baxton."

Isabo Baxton: "Thank you." struggles to remember Gary's name, "Officer Krupke."

Gary Menna shakes his head, slipping the notebook and pen back in place. Turning for the door. "I'll let you get some rest then."

Isabo Baxton head dips as the drugs take effect and resumes snoring.

News : Public Service Law Goes Horribly Wrong!

Not by Shaggy Littleboots (as she too fears reprisals)

From information so far found by the Daily Sinner, it appears the new Public Service Law, although enacted in good faith for the citizens of Sinner's Bay, is being abused and used for the purpose of giving those in power an excuse to satisfy their own sick desires and pleasures!

So far two women have come forward, with horrific tales of what they experienced. The method seems the same for both of them - 1st drugs were planted on them, then the authorities would find the drugs, and use that as their reason to invoke the new PSL! Both women , one of whom is a cocktail waitress at a popular local bar, and the other just recently hired at the Dead End Memorial Hospital, wish to remain anonymous, fearing retribution. They were both stripped completely naked, and thoroughly abused, to the point they wished not to go into detail. The one woman said she understood even much worse had happened to a woman taken to the police station, involving some type of torture machine, but again the women were afraid to go into details, least they be identified. And although not naming him directly, again out of fear of reprisals, it was quite apparent that at least one of the officials involved was officer Gunner Ireman.

In what appears to be a related story, it was also learned by the Daily Sinner that the old Bone Mansion may be soon used for a bordello, or as the one woman stated "A whorehouse" and indicated if her fears came true, it would be used for forced prostitution at that! More on this story as more developes. As stated, all involved are naturally reluctant to speak out of fear. We wish to remind all Sinner readers again, that there is a drop-off box at the paper's office, if anyone wishes to secretly notify the paper of anything newsworthy.

News: Dominatrix Slaver Captures DDD

by Shaggy Littleboots

The Distressed Damsels Dormitory, or DDD as it is affectionately known locally, has been a long standing institution in Sinner's Bay dedicated to aiding and assisting young women in need of short term housing. Over the years, it has helped many girls get back on their feet during periods of their lives when times were especially tough.

Those days are likely over, thanks to the arrival of the Dragon Lady.

Miss Simone Yheng, or Mistress Simone to those who value their skins, has taken over as the house mother of the DDD, and that can only mean bad news for the poor girls forced to turn there for help. Yheng's "social clubs" in Beaverly Hills and DeadEnd have allegedly been linked to everything from forced prostitution to human trafficking, with the victims of these crimes being the sort of young women that typically turn to the DDD for assistance. One can only assume that Miss Yheng, an admitted BDSM Dominatrix, intends on subjugating the residents of the DDD and extending her criminal empire here in Sinner's Bay.

While those in charge waste our time and tax dollars by passing the Public Service Law in response to an increase in petty crimes, nothing is done to protect the female population of the Bay from the real dangers lurking on our streets. The Distressed Damsels Dormitory represented the one safe place for downtrodden girls to find refuge, and now a dangerous predator has been allowed to waltz into town and take control of it. It is only a matter of time before the number of cases of missing girls reported in Sinner's Bay rivals that of Beaverly Hills and DeadEnd.

News: Crime Syndicate meets in Sinners Bay

by Shaggy Littleboots


The secretive and elusive Summer's Organized Crime Family's top personal were spotted in Sinners Bay this afternoon, holding an apparent meeting. They were spotted while dining in the la Vita Bella resturant. Members of this crime syndicate are seldom seen in Sinners Bay, and even rarer, seeing the four top brass together anywhere. This reporter was unable to get close enough to catch any conversation, but did attempt to without being obvious, but she was able to obtain some pictures. They appeared very cautious when not alone.



The four present were identified from news archives photos by this reporter as Mob Bridger, the family's top "musscle" and enforcer: KC Calamari, often thought of as the family bosses right hand, and porported assassin. Rumors have it she is the most dangerous, and deadly, member of the Criminal Group. Also in attendance was Tawdri Trollop, number 2 in the organization, of whom little is heard since her release on parole recently, and the sister of Miss Randi Summers, the family boss. Finding Miss Summers out and about is apparently very rare indeed.



Why the family's top leaders were in Sinners Bay is not known at this time. Research in both news articles and with the local PD show no "confirmed" activity in the area, although rumors have existed. They are not suspected in the recent asault/rape, as there does not appear to be a profit motive behind the actions.




It is speculated that it is possible the family has simply chosen Sinners as a nice place to meet, away from their usual areas where they are well know, where they can just meet and relax. Locl business people interviewed by this reporter stated that if they are spending money in the local resturants and bars, they are as welcome as anyone with cash.

News : New Office for Daily Sins

The Daily Sins HQ, having lost it's former headquarters in the town centre owing to budget cuts - is now located in the suburbs a short walk out of the main strip and by the Gun Club.

When asked for comment, the editor in chief - Miss Dita Actor, had this to say

"It is good for the paper to have a presence in the bay once more though it once again also makes us a target for hate crimes, public nuisance, and other such troubles as we have had in the past.

The decision to move the office will not affect our ability to cover news that happens in the heart of the bay. On the contrary we believe that the more rural inaccessibility of our office will allow people the anonymity they might need to pop in and submit their various tips on what goes on in the bay."

Billionaire's Death in Sinners Bay - Hoax?

(Pic : a recent portrait comissioned by Mr Mortimer Waddington)

Other News : Blue Dawn Escapes Capture

Dead End - Friday 28th May 2009

Apprehended suspects of the 'Blue Dawn' terrorist organisation managed to escape police capture whilst being transported to a secure facility. A source for the Daily Sins revealed the two prisoners , Lynx Debruyere and Kara Nishi were detained for questioning but did not arrive on schedule.

The DEPD seem to be keeping this a hush up as no one was available to neither confirm or deny this particular jail break.

Lynx Debruyere is a person of key interest in the Laura Dreadlow Murder as Laura was reported to have been a frequent party guest at Lynx's wild parties, neighbours said.

Daily Sins - in collaboration with Dead End Daily , bringing you the news you need to know.

Q's contemplations - Laura's journal:

I had a rather interesting meeting the other day with the reporter from the local paper known as the 'Daily Sin'. I think that Dita is actually the editor of the entire publication, and I have followed her stories with some interest. So far, she's actually managed to put out what seems to be facts without casting too much ugliness on what is already a bad situation with Laura's murders.

Dita mentioned about this possibly being related to other killings, or maybe it was that detective that did that. In any fashion, this could have been one more death in a string committed by the same person or group. I say group as I remember this cult being mentioned as well as Laura mentioning it. So, I have to put them into my list of suspects as well.

I need to find out more about Laura's boyfriend too. Isn't he likely to be high on the list of suspects? I'd think so. Dita and I talked about Laura's journal, and I remember. How could I forget?

Laura and I both kept them, and I know exactly where her's is hidden. I am going to retrieve her diary in the next couple of days.

Maybe it will shed some light on what happened, but if nothing else, at least I will get to feel her close again in some way. I really miss my best friend.
