Christ you're jumpy Wini, it's not even day 1 yet.

But seeing as you asked so nicely :P

:rolleyes: Yeah, and derailing the thread with your incessant GIFFING isn't counter-productive? Glad to know I've likely one name for my FFA tomorrow anyways.

I'm clearly not smart enough for this game.

Me either. Great Derry got the answer and all, but I'm still not even quite sure how he got there, never mind solving one myself.

Doris WW

Whats next to solve?

Splitting the relevant info up. Working on an assumption that the writing on the wall was solely to do with the puzzle we solved, and can thus be ignored in the other puzzles. At the same time, both Adler AND Eurus had the key to solving their puzzles in the "flavour" description. So I think there's probably a clue to Moriarty there too.

===========

Moriarty

she has found a letter burned into each corpse’s left eyelid that spells “Did you Miss Me?”

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

Clue: MORSCCXLV

What do ye think of the fact it specifies that his message was burned into each corpse's left eye? That's very specific, right?

===========

Adler

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”

Message translated as "Marks are words"

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

Clue: Unlock her phone to learn her secret.

Conor WW

So the only other mention of words in the OP was "each crime links to these three words "Werewolves of London". It's a reach but I'm already down the rabbit hole

And with that I'm taking a break for dinner. I already know my work week is screwed

Okay, read back over Derry and Clodagh's work to see how they got their answer. I kinda get it more, but still don't really understand where Belshazzar's feast... fits. I don't think my brain is wired to solves these.

However … what does seem clear is that the above passage is like a cipher to the rest of the clues since that's where Derry got "empty" from. Presumably that won't be used again for another clue, so we can cross it out?

What we're left with are:

"Did you Miss Me?"
"black phone with red lipstick"
"13-1-18-11-19-1-18-5-23-15-18-4-19" which we already know refers to "Marks Are Words"

Nigel WW

Also, there's no Clues to unlocking these roles, yet the information is fairly vague. What does blackmailing involve? Is that like mind control? But that would be kinda similar to the Eurus role, if our assumptions on the clue reveal are correct. And the "unique killing style" tells us very little too.

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

dont know of theres anything here, perhaps for the more analytical of us.

12 letters, with 2 in the 3rd victim, meaning 11 people dead

Wendy WW

Back in my Day, D0 was silly frivolity and nonsense. Now it's all eating at your desk during lunch time and solving Moriarty riddles.

Katie WW

so 3rd corpse with 2 letters burned in had the phone on their person

i took it to mead the was an extra d, as in d in both eyelids of 3rd victim.
thats why i went looking for words in diddyoumissme, and the best i could find was 'my mud is diodes' which didn't make much sense, so i dropped it.

Yay, you can Google, well done!! :P

Seriously, fair plan and all. But after Derry, I think the next biggest contributor to solving that was Clodagh who thought of putting the word in front of the alphabet thing.

I've been trying to figure out these puzzles like crazy but my brain is weak. I think the living will come to envy the dead as time goes on.

I figured out marks are words ... But sure maybe wolves get bonus’s for revealing on thread themselves or just get village credit. I wouldn’t read too much into which lean it is to be honest....

Katie WW

where's Brendan gone

Clodagh WW

Woo! Good work Derry!

If we're trying to figure out clues, we should make sure to quote em in case we accidentally stumble across an answer:

Each of the above clues will reveal an ability of the person the clue is under if answered correctly. To answer, simply quote the clue with your answer on thread.

Belshazzar's Feast is,, according to wiki, the story of "The Writings On The Wall". The OP mentions that there is writing on the wall, some greek letters that translated to empty. When you plugged them into that cipher, we got redbeard.
