    I dont like the name Doris. Sounds like a German handmaiden.

    Lets try this.

    Clue: Unlock her phone to learn her secret.

    Red Lipstick

    No harm in trying.

    Double parity means she effectively counts as two wolves right?

    Would seem so. What's the reprogramming thing? Mind control? Sounds like mind control.

    And the blackmailing thing. That's... hmmm... that's new.

    Well done Derry? Were you only waiting to post that to see who tried to complete it? if so sorry for my being obtuse and you having to explain it to me on thread but tbh I don't think we would have gotten the extra info otherwise.

    So her power is to make us think there are more wolves than there are?

    Well done Derry. I'm confused as fcuk. Thought: REDBEARD doesn't tell us anything about the wolves though? Now understanding it's just something to unlock the clue.

    Our first confirmed villager? Or a very ballsy wolf? Barring further evidence, I'm happy to put him in the former.

    blackmail...you make someone do something or you reveal something about them is usually how it works (not that i'm an expert or anything :p).

    so the person has to do something (post something for eg) or their role will be revealed possibly

    I think he did well to get us extra info to work off but no way am I clearing anyone as being confirmed on day 0.

    Sounds like it fits, I'm gonna keep my options open around that though.

    Right, in a bid to focus the village on the other two....



    Right.

    Belshazzar's Feast, according to Wiki, is the story of "The writing on the wall".

    As per our crime scene....



    There's literally writing on the wall.

    "αδειάζω"

    Google Tran.....I mean, my keen understanding of the Greek Language....translates that as the word "Empty".

    Using Clodagh's idea of a Keyword cipher, that leaves us with....
    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
    E M P T Y A B C D F G H I J K L N O Q R S U V W X Z


    Which means that...


    OYTMYEOT


    decrypts to.....



    REDBEARD

    LOL - love it Derry. So much for my Morse Code thing with the other clue though...


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 4,830 ✭✭✭Derry WW


    Winny, I'd imagine the other two puzzles are utterly different types of puzzles.

    For the record, I had that post typed up for a while. Was curious to see who would keep working, etc.

    Still two left though, and I've no clue where to start with the Moriarty one.

    The Adler one seems to be a word play puzzle though (which fits with how she is portrayed in the show). I think Desmond was probably along the right tracks with his lipstick guess.

    Well, not cleared, but a strong village lean right? Unless my original theory that the wolves are out to solve the clues themselves to know what their powers are hold still?

    Yeah but surely they're linked to 'Empty'? Given the mention of it in the OP...


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 1,276 ✭✭✭Winifred WW


    Well not 'Empty', but the Greek symbol


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 3,056 ✭✭✭Abigail WW


    I'm guessing we would have already found out by now if Lipstick was it. From the show I'm guessing that Adler may be some sort of blindspot for Sherlock


  • Forum Games Player Posts: 5,361 ✭✭✭Conor WW


    Ok...been trying to figure out the Adler one.

    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”

    If we take it that the numbers translate into MARKS ARE WORDS then the lipstick marks are the equivalent of words. I Googled Irene Adlers lipstick and discovered it has a name so I figured I'd try that, so...

    Well I'd agree in having a village lean on Derry but the possibility it's a ballsy wolf shouldn't be discounted.

    That's what I meant. Nobody is beyond scrutiny, especially this early in the game.

    Maybe I was over complicating it

    But in saying that, at some point we are going to have to attempt to build some sort of core.

    The lean thing is something I'd like to trial out this game actually.
