this topic is about anything strange, problems, or any secret things you notice in marley bone.

one thing ive noticed, the pictures on the maps show all cats when arent some of them mice? why are the police just standing there totally ignoring the burglars walking around next to them? Did the mice form some king of alliance with the cats? and ive notice that a lot of gearheads are running inside each other making it seem like there is only one of them.

1. Cats worry that if they admit they have mice, it will bring down the rooftop skulking path values. Cats are very status-conscious and will never admit to having mice.

2. The police are in cahoots with the cats. They'll bluster to you or anyone else that walks past, but they have all been sufficiently paid to look the other way. The Marleybone police hope to have their dog food and eat it, too, by getting adventurers to do their jobs for them.

3. Mice think the cats, though dangerous, are the coolest things going, so they dress up like cats, learn the cat paw-signs, and make meow-like squeaks at each other. Cats, on the other hand, try to deal with the mouse problem once and for all by dressing up like mice and carrying cheese around that they never actually eat. It's gotten so bad that neither the cats nor the mice know which are cats, and which mice, so they just don't fight at all any more.

4. The gearheads aren't 'inside' each other -- they are self-replicating Von Neumann machines, and some are busily making the newest versions. Every robot you kill could be somebody's mother. Think of that next time you come across one of the poor dears.
