MM6: Sherlock Mafia {THE FINAL PROBLEM}

#201

My, my- what a hive of activity!

I am going to vote for A Person.

Matt F wrote:Llama, I said in the thread. And I openly admitted to lying to you in a PM, which now you are using to say I haven't been honest in the thread.

Who's twisting now?

I don't see a difference between lying in the thread and lying via PM. Sorry.

#203

Voted Matt F. F is For shenanigans.

I need to do a better reread, but lying is definitely risky business in this game.

Agreed, this is not a traditonal baddie v. civvie game, so takes a bit of a mind twist to strategize. I agree woth Llama about odds, but the NK is ok until it gets you.

Also, definitely a huge loss if a partner is outed in the thread. So I completely see where Bullz is coming from and wonder why Matt F doesnt see that as a problem.

#204

Llama, I see you're picking and choosing.

Yes, admittedly, I lied in PMs to both you and A Person. I've explained that.

Have you seen me lying in the thread? About anything I've done? At all?

Can Bullz say this? Or DH? Or A Person?

No, they cannot say I've been lying in the thread. Because I haven't.

In other words, no you haven't. Thanks Llama!

‘Intelligent’, fine; let’s give ‘smart-arse’ a wide berth.

221B. John is standing in front of the mirror in the living room. He is wearing a suit and finishes tying his tie before putting his jacket on. Near the sofa, Sherlock is buttoning up his own jacket. Your transcriber bites her lip. Sherlock leads the way downstairs and goes to the front door, then stops and turns to the side to allow John to pass him and reach out towards the door.
JOHN: Ready?
SHERLOCK: Yes.
(Bracing himself, John opens the door. Police officers are trying to hold back the large crowd of journalists who immediately start photographing the pair and calling out questions as the police clear the way and allow the boys through to the waiting police car. They get into the back and the car pulls away and races off with its sirens wailing.)
(At the Old Bailey, Jim is in a cell wearing a smart light grey suit, white shirt and pale grey tie and silver tie pin with matching grey handkerchief in the breast pocket. A prison guard is checking the handcuffs which shackle him to two nearby officers. Not long afterwards and surrounded by prison officers, he is being escorted along the corridors towards the court. As he walks along, a small smile begins to creep onto his face.)
(The police car is just going around Trafalgar Square.)
JOHN: Remember ...
SHERLOCK (instantly): Yes.
JOHN (insistently): Remember ...
SHERLOCK (even more quickly): Yes.
(John looks away in frustration, then goes for broke and speaks quickly.)
JOHN: Remember what they told you: don’t try to be clever ...
SHERLOCK (talking over him): No.
JOHN: ... and please, just keep it simple and brief.
SHERLOCK: God forbid the star witness at the trial should come across as intelligent.
JOHN: ‘Intelligent’, fine; let’s give ‘smart-arse’ a wide berth.
(There’s a slight pause.)
SHERLOCK: I’ll just be myself.
JOHN (irritated): Are you listening to me?!
(At the Old Bailey Jim is marched up the stairs into the courtroom, two prison officers holding him by the shoulders. Outside, TV reporters are talking into various cameras as they record pieces for the news programmes.)
ITN REPORTER: ... here today standing outside ...
SKY NEWS REPORTER: ... This is the trial of the century ...
BBC NEWS REPORTER: ... the trial of James Moriarty ...
(We see brief clips of their broadcasts as seen on television.)
SKY NEWS REPORTER: ... James Moriarty, earlier today accused of attempt...
ITN REPORTER: ... of attempting to steal the Crown Jewels ...
BBC NEWS REPORTER: ... at the Old Bailey we have Reichenbach Hero Sherlock Holmes ...
(Jim and his prison escort reach the top of the stairs and he is turned sideways and walked into the dock. As a female prison officer comes across to check his restraints, he turns his head and murmurs into her ear.)
JIM: Would you mind slipping your hand into my pocket?
(The officer looks at one of her male colleagues, who nods in agreement. Looking rather uncomfortable, she slides her fingers into Jim’s trouser pocket and pulls out the contents as Jim breathes very close to her face and gazes into her eyes before poking his tongue out. She puts what she has found in his pocket – a piece of chewing gum – onto his tongue and he draws his tongue back in and begins to chew, smiling at her creepily.)
JIM: Thanks.

It is now Night 1. PM me with your night actions, and if you want A Person to stay in the game or be eliminated. You have 24 hours.

I guess we can discuss court procedings?

Anyone up for saving AP?

Who wants to play prosecutor and defender?

#210

*birds chirping*

I don't see AP being saved unless the role that gets people out of court is either AP or his partner, or in an alliance with AP.

Otherwise, surely everyone else will be voting to kick AP off the island?

#211

I'm always up for a good game of Devil's Advocate.

#212

Maybe A Person can give us a compelling reason why we should vote to keep him in. Otherwise, I can't see much incentive to do so.

Way to state the obvious.

I think players are just having fun with this, that's all.

Well, the nights are going to be mighty boring if we don't at least talk about the suspects, I guess. But again, I can't see a good reason to want to save people.

#216

I would like to hear from A.P before I send in my vote. The least I could do

Yeah, I noticed that too. If Twin Peaks is any guide, things are not as simple as they appear.

INH is well known for being completely 1000% insane as a host. I wouldn't be surprised if absolutely nothing was anything like it appeared.

#220

I'm not sure what I could say, people would benefit from someone other than themselves dying, regardless of whether or not they believe me. I could argue that I was put here by being caught in the middle of some scheme and that I'm here because of the actions of someone else, but would that be enough to pardon me? I know it seems crazy to save someone whose existence doesn't benefit them. In the end I think I'll just say that I'm at your mercy, and hope people see why I don't deserve to be killed (just yet anyway).

#221

My partner is so mad at me right now. *sadface*

#222

I'm not surprised, and I can't really blame them

#223

#224

Honestly I kinda hope your partner is giving you a good stern talking to right now...

#225

More like the silent treatment.

#226

Who is your partner?

I'm not even sure I have one anymore.

sorry bout that

There's certainly a lot of talking in this game. It all seems rather pointless to me... I mean, it's basically a LMS game so we have to start eliminating people...

#239

The Labeled Magnitude Scale (LMS) is a scaling technique which uses quasi-logarithmic spacing. The scale consists of different intensities and subjects are asked to put a mark on the line where they think they intensity of the sensation fits.

Hey dude, I've thought on this, and you're right. I apologize for lying to you in the PM. It wasn't right, and though my strategy didn't work out as I thought it would (I don't have any reason to believe AP has a NK), I also apologize for the whole mess I made of the thread today.

Hopefully we're cool, and we can focus on getting players with NK now.

This seems like quite the turnaround. You sure you two didn't strike some kind of back room deal?

#242

No, not at all. Just saying sorry to him.

We're absolutely cool! You know I respect you as a player, so no hard feelings. I'm still going to vote for you tomorrow, though.

No problem! Hopefully I've changed your mind by then, but if not, I totally respect that!

What? You think Matt and Llama made an alliance?

#246

@Elo it was a half joke, but I wouldn't be totally 100% shocked if Mr. F was doing some sort of wheeling and or dealing.

#247

No, we did not make an alliance. I already told DH that, and also, Llama just said he was going to vote for me tomorrow.

If we were in an alliance, why would he vote for me? That doesn't make any sense.

Still, even so, I hope I can change Llama's mind about me.

Linki - No we are not in an alliance! Seriously!! Wth?

If I were to make a alliance with Matt, I would tell you guys. I'm not interested in playing this game deceitfully.
