April 1, 2026
Directly from the office of The Mayor of GoldFire City, officials have confirmed a citywide outbreak of miniature, sharply dressed duplicates.

"At first we thought it was some kind of promotional stunt," the Mayor said, while his smaller counterpart attempted to pocket the microphone. "But when they started following people into casinos and making even worse decisions than usual, we knew something was off."

Residents report that the "Mini-Me" entities are identical in appearance, personality, and questionable judgment, just at a reduced scale. Several have already been spotted placing bets, starting arguments, and confidently giving terrible advice.

Detective Watts has opened an investigation and already named his primary suspect: the elusive figure known only as The Shark. Surveillance footage shows him earlier today accompanied by a miniature associate, both appearing extremely pleased with themselves.

Citizens are advised to remain calm, keep a close eye on their chips, and under no circumstances let their smaller selves make "just one quick bet."

April 1, 2025
In a press conference held outside the town's one remaining outhouse, The Mayor confirmed that a temporal fissure has opened, reverting the entire city back to the year 1887.

"At first we thought it was just the heat," he said, wiping his brow with a linen handkerchief. "But when folks started showing up wearing spurs and gambling with actual gold nuggets, we knew something was afoot."

Residents are advised to remain calm, tip their hats and refrain from dueling before noon. The Shark, long thought to operate in modern times, may now be meddling with the very fabric of history. Detective Watts has launched a full investigation, which so far includes a half-eaten sandwich and a map of 1980s Atlantic City.

In unrelated news, The Mayor also said that going forward, all disputes must now be settled via poker, horseshoes or dramatically slamming your hat on the table.
