    Current day London
    edited-sherlock-970x545.png


    Sherlock Holmes has gone into hiding to protect the ones close to him, there is an elaborate game being played that could spell the end of everything he holds dear and he needs no distractions while he delves into his mind palace. He has laid a plan of his own that if the circumstances are correct should give protection when it's least expected.

    John and Mary are left to help D.I Lestrade and Scotland Yard as unexplained murders start to appear across London, Each murder scene has yellow graffiti sprayed on the walls with all of them showing the same thing sprayed “αδειάζω”. Molly Hooper is on overtime where she has found a letter burned into each corpse’s left eyelid that spells “Did you Miss Me?” except for the 3rd corpse which had had both eyelids burned into and a black phone with red lipstick marks on the screen password locked was found in their possession. The phone had a small folded paper message under the leather cover which read “13-1-18-11-19-1-18-5-23-15-18-4-19”

    Mycroft Holmes always present when the time calls for it, is making moves from the shadows that he hopes pay dividends.

    Mrs Hudson residing at 221b Baker Street is never afraid to give her opinion especially when common sense goes amiss.

    There are whispers in certain corners of London that talk of a mysterious serial killer who has killed hundreds of people to date and never been caught, but the loudest whisper is that of a group that has spun a criminal web all across the city where each crime links to these three words "Werewolves of London".

    There are talented individuals that have different traits and skills some of which will be revealed below and there are traits and skills that will only be revealed under certain circumstances.


    The game is afoot…
    lead_720_405.jpg?mod=1533691864

    TEAM GOOD

    Sherlock Holmes – “I'm not a psychopath, I'm a highly functioning sociopath. Do your research.”
    Consulting Detective: Each night phase Sherlock has the option to peek one individual for full role revel including hidden knowledge or alternatively can choose 3 people and learn if the group of 3 contains a bad or good player which will only give an aligned bad or aligned good response.

    Dr. John Watson – He is a crack shot, heralding from his long years in Afghanistan, alongside his 2 bullets he also has the ability to heal.

    Mary Watson – Highly trained assassin that will do anything to protect her family and friends. Bodyguard: Can protect a person each night phase. Cannot protect themselves.

    D.I Lestrade – Geoff , Graham, Giles, Gavin Lestrade. Its Greg by the way. Can jail someone every night phase, jailed people lose backroom access and all powers during the night phase but cannot be killed while jailed. Can only jail the same player once.

    Mrs Hudson – The mother figure of the group, Mrs Hudson is never shy of putting order in place when she sees the need.

    Mycroft Holmes – “If you seem slow to me, Sherlock, can you imagine what real people are like? I’m living in a world of goldfish.”

    Mycroft has this uncanny ability to come across as a villain but look deeper and you will find a good heart.
    Mycroft has a -3 lynch value meaning they need 3 votes to get to 0

    Molly Hooper – Molly putting her love life on hold in her pursuit for justice is making practical use of her medical skills in the morgue.

    Priest: Molly receives the roles of the dead.

    Scotland Yard Officer – Normal Rolled Citizens




    TEAM EVIL

    Werewolves of London


    76b4895401b9ab01ba1c028e01536ee5.jpg


    Jim Moriarty – Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.

    Consulting Criminal: Moriarty has two full seer peek.

    Eurus Holmes – There's an east wind coming…

    Her speciality is reprogramming the human brain...
    Eurus acts as a double parity count for the Werewolves of London.

    Irene Adler – "This is how I want you to remember me. The woman who beat you."

    Irene can be sent away from the backroom. When sent way she will not be able to contact the villains but she still must act in their interest, when sent away she will be seen as Scotland yard officer to any peeks or deaths and also parity counts, she can be recalled into the backroom at any stage but this can only be done once in which she will then remain in the backroom as a villain. Recalling Irene into the backroom has a 24hr timer from request.

    Charles Augustus Magnussen
    – The Napoleon of blackmail
    Charles is a very powerful individual and has the option to blackmail another player at a time of his choosing.

    Jeff Hope - "It's not chance, Mr Holmes, it's chess. It's a game of chess."
    Paid by Moriarty for his services, Jeff has a unique killing style

    RULES

    NB. If you're a regular player some of these rules may sound familiar to you, but please do not just skim past. There is new stuff in here too, so please read carefully and ensure you understand.

    1. Respect the mods: The decisions of the mods are final. Mods will not enter into discussion or arguments on thread about mechanics of the game. There will be a time for review and discussion after the game is complete. The mods have some secrets, but all players have been provided with the information they need to play the game. If you have any questions, please PM andy125, WerewolfGM or Barney92 and we will respond as soon as possible.

    2. Don't cheat: This is a game that relies heavily on the players having integrity. No PMing other players in the game, and no chat about the game outside of this game thread and designated back forum threads. No screen-shots, quoting from backroom threads or naming of rooms anyone may or may not have are permitted.

    3. Be active: Please all try to reasonably contribute to the game thread and always remember to get a vote in as a minimum. Players are expected to adhere to a minimum of 5 posts per phase (munch to munch) failure to do so will result in being Substituted or Mod killed, whichever is more convenient at the time.

    4. Game schedule: Game starts with a slaughter to be revealed at 10am on Monday morning. Munches will be revealed at 10am, lynch votes will be revealed at 9pm. Bodyguard protect requests and Jail requests have a deadline and must be put in before lynch or it will not be accepted.

    5. Voting rules: The lynch form will be opened following the munch and players can vote until 08:59:59PM. You can change your vote as many times as you like, but only your last vote will count. Do not share your vote form password with anyone else. All votes for the lynch have to be made by yourself. Any missed votes will result in 2 lynch votes for the offender and any missed votes after that will increase by 4 votes for the offender.

    6. Lynch rules: The votes will be published as soon as possible following the lynch in the order they were cast.

    7. Are you dead? People are free to post in the thread until the lynch and slaughter are announced. You are not dead until a post in the game thread announces it. Once you are dead, please don't post in the game thread again. Dead players are also asked to NOT THANK POSTS IN THE GAME THREAD AFTER DEATH. You will be granted access to the deadroom where you can discuss the game. Please PM the mods for access, although we will endeavour to have it arranged automatically upon your death.

    8. Policy on Abuse: Boards has a no-abuse rule in place that is in effect in this forum as well. By all means, call people on dodgy behaviour, point out if they are being silly or behaving strangely, be aggressive in your approach; but DO NOT abuse another player. If you feel another player has stepped over a line, the first step is to ask them to stop; if they do not, please PM a forum mod (Sullivlo/Pter) or use the report button on the post in question. Forum mods will investigate and action any issues at an appropriate time, keeping the game mods informed of any actions as needed.

    9. THERE ARE NO TASKS, so feel free to have fun, make memes, take the piss and try to enjoy the game.

    10. In it to win it: Please play in the interests of the team you are representing at all times.

    11. Win Conditions:
    Wolf Win - Wolves will win if they gain parity with villagers and eliminate the SK
    SK Win - Sk wins if they gain parity with village or/and wolf.
    Village Win - All Wolf and SK teams are exterminated.

    There are no joint winning conditions.

    That's a very fine looking magnifying glass.


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 4,722 ✭✭✭Derry WW


    Must say, I adore the idea of having clues to decode.

    Jim Moriarty – Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.

    Clue: MORSCCXLV


    No initial thoughts. Not roman numerals, not an anagram.

    9 Letters.

    Eurus Holmes – There's an east wind coming…

    Clue: The key is Belshazzar's feast...

    OYTMYEOT


    8 Letters. Possibly an anagram.

    A quick google about "Belshazzar's Feast" doesn't show much, other than the other name for the story. "The writing on the wall".


    Irene Adler – "This is how I want you to remember me. The woman who beat you."

    Clue: Unlock her phone to learn her secret.


    Phone? Reckon we'll see her phone as the game goes on?


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,104 ✭✭✭Wendy WW


    FIRST


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,927 ✭✭✭Orla WW


    I like the clues too, they're a nice touch.

    My brain isn't working at full capacity at the moment though.

  • Forum Games Player Posts: 2,307 ✭✭✭Riona WW


    The phone had a small folded paper message under the leather cover which read “13-1-18-11-19-1-18-5-23-15-18-4-19”

    Alphabet?

    Irene Adler – "This is how I want you to remember me. The woman who beat you."

    Clue: Unlock her phone to learn her secret.

    Also i guess this is Irene’s phone that we are trying to unlock... the third corpse had Burn marks in eylids and lipstick on phone. Lipstick and burn are the marks?

    Ok that’s enough helping for 2 days. I’m prob up for a munch for looking so helpful this early. No bad thing in all fairness...

    Spent twenty mins with a pen and piece of paper figuring that out only to refresh and see it answered.

    Jim Moriarty – Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.

    Clue: MORSCCXLV


    My first reaction was that CCXLV is 245 in Roman numerals.


    Eurus Holmes – There's an east wind coming…

    Clue: The key is Belshazzar's feast...

    OYTMYEOT


    Maybe some kind of keyword cipher where you insert a word at the start of the alphabet? You then letter match your "new" alphabet to the alphabet proper. So for example if you use FEAST as the key word your new alphabet would look like:


    F E A S T B C D G H I J K L M N O P Q R U V W X Y Z

    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 4,722 ✭✭✭Derry WW


    lol need to read the whole OP. Hadn't see Irene's clue in the flavour.

    ======
    Moriarty's clue - MORSCCXLV

    Splitting in to 3 3s.

    MOR = Moriarty?
    SCC = ?
    XLV = 45

    ======

    Eurus - OYTMYEOT

    Coincidence the word "TOTEM" can be made from that? Leaves the letters "YYO" though. "Oyy Totem"?

    Afternoon all.

    Reading that Moriarty clue the first indication I had was that it might relate to Moriarty (furst three letters)

    However is it possible it MORS Code CXLV (145)?

    Or Morse Code 145... if that makes any sense.

    M is 1,000 in RN too, 1000 ors 245

    Is the O an o or a 0? 1,000 with the 0 makes it 10,000, and C = 100, C*C makes 10,000. RS45?

    Dunno

    for page one you guys & gals are truely on it! Hope y'all keep it up like this throughout and aren't just looking helpful cos I haven't a fecking clue looking at those things.

    I wonder can D.I Lestrade interrogate people or just imprison them

    Culverton Smith seems interesting based on him apparently not being to stop himself from bragging about kills.

    I thought I missed the Jeff Hope episode but after googling he's the cab killer from ep1

    Without tasks im usually at a loose end though, not sure what to look for if Culverton won't be tasked with bragging etc but it is day 0 so ill go back to eating honey for now
