Yeeeeeessssss!  Nice work Richie!

*The Brickwars/Lego wars event is town "Brickopoly" and is set in
Brick-Morpork. The story goes like this...

After he was recently killed, the Patrician's clone was activated. The clone
hasn't done much reading yet, except for some textbooks on economic
rationalisation. He privatised everything. The banks, the power company, the
hospitals, the fire brigade, the police force and so on.
And all the newly privatised organisations launched into competition.
Serious competition. Things have become so chaotic, that the patrician has
left town for a while...
...more details to come. Bring your warband of wharfies, your auxillia of
ambulance drivers, your militia of McDonalds workers, your posse of police,
your battalion of bankers or your phalanx of firefighters. Also some city
scenery (especially a headquarters for your troops).

Cardinal Kremlin and the order of the Dexter Manus Rufus have been ordered
by his Holy Brickiness to offer succour and charity to all. The Cardinal is
determined to fulfill this order even if the recipients are less than keen.
Further he is embarking on a crusade to rid the city of crime, scum, filth
and Timmies.

And the Museums, Antiquities and Libraries Workers Union, erstwhile managing
the floating museum moored in the Brick-Morpork river (a WWI Indefatigable
Class Dreadnought) and the Brickish Museum of other people's Antiquities,
have had enough of being treated like fuddy duddies, geeks and dweebs, and
have decided that it is not the meek that shall inherit the world, but the
dudes with the 8 x 12 inch guns.  In fact, they're extremely keen to get on
with the inheriting of the world (or at the very least everything within
9600 yards of said guns at said moorings in said river), just as soon as
they can work out how to turn the turrets....

vendor of choice)

Still baldly going...
