MM6: Sherlock Mafia {THE FINAL PROBLEM}

I'm voting Lizzy as well, I guess.

#552

My PM to INH on Friday did not go through (asking to be replaced because I was shingley) didn't go through according to my Sentbox, so I may as well stick around now that I'm better and share some spores with you all.

There are only a few votes missing and now just jigsaw and vomps. Is that what you mean or are talking oddly for some other reason today?

Even though you are not such a threat, the masses have spoken Lizzy, and apparently they do not like being outed in thread!

Well I'd already been basically outed by Matt but yeah I don't know what Lizzy thought she'd accomplish by doing that... or even how/why she had all that info.

#558

I voted for A Person for making people vote for me.

You’re doing a “we both know what’s really going on here” face.

Some time later Sherlock is being released. As he signs for his personal property, John is standing beside him leaning back on the desk with his arms folded.
JOHN: What did I say? I said, “Don’t get clever.”
SHERLOCK: I can’t just turn it on and off like a tap.
(Taking the bag of items from the custody officer, he turns to John.)
SHERLOCK: Well?
JOHN: Well what?
SHERLOCK: You were there for the whole thing, up in the gallery, start to finish.
JOHN: Like you said it would be ... (referring to Jim’s defending barrister) ... he sat on his backside, never even stirred.
SHERLOCK: Moriarty’s not mounting any defense.

221B. The boys walk into the living room.
JOHN: Bank of England, Tower of London, Pentonville. Three of the most secure places in the country and six weeks ago Moriarty breaks in, no-one knows how or why.
(He sits down in his armchair as Sherlock begins to pace.)
JOHN: All we know is ...
SHERLOCK: ... he ended up in custody.
(He stops and turns to John. John takes a breath.)
JOHN: Don’t do that.
SHERLOCK: Do what?
JOHN: The look.
SHERLOCK: Look?
JOHN: You’re doing the look again.
SHERLOCK: Well, I can’t see it, can I?
(John points to the mirror on the wall as if Sherlock’s an idiot for not realizing it’s there. Sherlock turns his head and looks at his reflection.)
SHERLOCK: It’s my face.
JOHN: Yes, and it’s doing a thing. You’re doing a “we both know what’s really going on here” face.
SHERLOCK: Well, we do.
JOHN: No. I don’t, which is why I find The Face so annoying.
SHERLOCK: If Moriarty wanted the Jewels, he’d have them. If he wanted those prisoners free, they’d be out on the streets. The only reason he’s still in a prison cell right now is because he chose to be there.
(He starts to pace again.)
SHERLOCK: Somehow this is part of his scheme.

NEXT DAY (presumably, as there can’t be that many more witnesses for the prosecution). OLD BAILEY.
JUDGE: Mr. Crayhill, can we have your first witness?
(The defending barrister rises to his feet.)
DEFENDING BARRISTER: Your Honour, we’re not calling any witnesses.
(There are cries of surprise around the court, and John – sitting in the public gallery – frowns in confusion.)
JUDGE: I don’t follow. You’ve entered a plea of Not Guilty.
DEFENDING BARRISTER: Nevertheless, my client is offering no evidence. The defense rests.
(He sits down. Jim purses his lips ruefully at the judge, then turns and looks up to John, shrugging at him.)

Not long afterwards, Sherlock – who chose to stay back at home – sits up sideways on the sofa with his back against the arm nearest the window. Wearing his blue dressing gown over his clothes, he softly recites the only words that the judge can possibly say in his summing-up speech. His recitation is interspersed with the actual words from the judge, and frequently their lines overlap.
SHERLOCK/JUDGE: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. James Moriarty stands accused of several counts of attempted burglary, crimes which – if he’s found guilty – will elicit a very long custodial sentence; and yet his legal team has chosen to offer no evidence whatsoever to support their plea. I find myself in the unusual position of recommending a verdict wholeheartedly. You must find him guilty.
(Sherlock closes his eyes.)
SHERLOCK (in a whisper): Guilty.
JUDGE: You must find him guilty.
(The court adjourns at 10:42. At 10:50 John is sitting on a bench just outside the courtroom when the Clerk of the Court hurries out of a side room.)
CLERK: They’re coming back.
(John looks at his watch.)
JOHN: That’s six minutes.
CLERK: Surprised it took them that long, to be honest. There’s a queue for the loo.
(He hurries into the court. John stands up, takes a moment to brace himself and then follows. A few minutes later the Clerk rises to his feet in the courtroom and turns to face the jury.)
CLERK: Have you reached a verdict on which you all agree?
(One of the jury members lowers his head and shakes it in tiny despairing motions as the foreman gets to her feet and stares at the Clerk unhappily.)

It is now Night 4. Lizzy is in court. PM with any Night Actions and if she should walk free. You have 24 hours.

#561

Poor Lizzy

#562

Oyez, Oyez,

All rise.

Weirdly, I got a call from the ABA today, wanting to confirm that I am a judge. Sadly, I am not a judge.

#563

I'm sending Lizzy a cake with a nail file baked inside it so she can cut the prison bars and escape through the ventilation shaft.

#564

...we end up havin’ a bit of a ding-dong, don’t we?

MINSK, BELARUS. In a prison visitors’ room, Sherlock – wearing the Coat with a fur collar attached – is sitting at one of the many tables in the room. Sitting on the other side of the table is Barry ‘Bezza’ Berwick, a young Englishman who is wearing an orange jumpsuit and who is obviously a prisoner. With the exception of a uniformed guard who stands some distance away, they are the only people in the room. It’s very cold in the room, as signified by the steam coming from their breath as they speak. Sherlock sounds bored.
SHERLOCK: Just tell me what happened, from the beginning.
BERWICK: We’d been to a bar – a nice place – and, er, I got chattin’ with one of the waitresses, and Karen weren’t ’appy with that, so ... when we get back to the ’otel, we end up havin’ a bit of a ding-dong, don’t we?
(Sherlock sighs out a deliberate and noisy breath.)
BERWICK: She was always gettin’ at me, sayin’ I weren’t a real man.
SHERLOCK: Wasn’t a real man.
BERWICK: What?
SHERLOCK: It’s not “weren’t”; it’s “wasn’t”.
BERWICK: Oh.
SHERLOCK: Go on.
BERWICK: Well, then I dunno how it happened, but suddenly there’s a knife in my hands. And, you know, me old man was a butcher, so I know how to handle knives.
(Sherlock’s gaze lowers to look at Barry’s hands which are resting on the table.)
BERWICK: He learned us how to cut up a beast.
SHERLOCK: “Taught.”
BERWICK (starting to get angry): What?
SHERLOCK: Taught you how to cut up a beast.
BERWICK: Yeah, well, then-then I done it.
SHERLOCK: “Did it.”
BERWICK (losing his temper): Did it! Stabbed her ... (he repeatedly slams his hand down on the table) ... over and over and over, and I looked down and she weren’t ...
(Sighing out a loud breath through his nose, Sherlock turns his head away. Getting control of his temper, Barry immediately corrects himself.)
BERWICK: ... wasn’t movin’ no more.
(Sherlock, who had just turned his head back towards Barry, now turns it away again with an annoyed look.)
BERWICK: ... any more.
(He lets out a shaky breath and lowers his head.)
BERWICK (softly): You’ve gotta help me. I dunno how it happened, but it was an accident. I swear.
(Sherlock gets to his feet and starts to walk away. Barry calls after him frantically.)
BERWICK: You’ve gotta help me, Mr. Holmes!
(Sherlock stops.)
BERWICK: Everyone says you’re the best. Without you, I’ll get hung for this.
(Sherlock looks over his shoulder at the young man.)
SHERLOCK: No, no, no, Mr. Berwick, not at all.
(He looks away thoughtfully for a second.)
SHERLOCK: Hanged, yes.

Lizzy is in jail. She was Mrs. Hudson. Team MH has been eliminated from the game. It is now Day 5. You have 24 hours.

Solved the first puzzle

I guess I don't have to mess stuff up yet but I probably will soon as I'm away all weekend with no internet access so I guess I'm going to die because of that, which is really crap tbh but oh well

. Maybe I do need to cause some trouble for everyone then

I agree we should totally have some on topic discussion. I'll start. Should we talk about how I kicked your riddles ASS and am 1 step closer to saving my partner? Should we talk about how you and MP kicked the wrong hornets nest by crossing us? Should we talk about How MP want's me to vote AP and AP wants me to vote Bullz?

These are the hot topics of the day folks. But I think the more pressing issue is that the first person to backstab and scheme against myself and Bullz was also the last person to do so, and he's in jail atm so you can't really ask him for a comment on the matter, but take my word for it, double crossing me is a mistake you do not make without serious consequences.

Not to mention the more pressing issue of how we and our friends didn't kill MP's ass straight away when we found out his role because Daisy said she'd make sure he didn't kill anyone she didn't want him to!

I don't think we get more puzzles until someone solves puzzle #1, which doesn't seem to have happened. Maybe DH should give it a try since he's such a good puzzle solver?

I've had both riddles solved since d1.

Puzzle #1 has been solved

Linki - yeah, we're that good.

#587

So did you get the prize or did a 2nd person e-mail an answer to puzzle #1 yet?

If so, then you are correct, where is Puzzle #2?

DH must have been the second to solve it because we got the prize. He sent in the answer and I sent it straight after just in case he was first. No idea where Puzzle 2 is.

I'll take "If so..." for 400 Alex.

I've just come up with the perfect solution to prison overcrowding.

The moral of the story being of course that if Hedge and MP turn on yall with their puzzle-kill, I can and will help you solve it. It took me less than 10 minutes to solve their first attempt at killing my partner.

He also solved the puzzles from the beginning of the game really quickly. He's good at this stuff, so it's a shame some people have screwed themselves out of two pretty good allies. DH for his brain and me with my rezzes that I could have used to save people who helped me.

That's because you were asking for it. You and DH are going around, being all buddy buddy, making this eight-person alliance which is unfair to those who aren't in it, yet you both are SO two-faced.

You voted to jail AP the first go around yet you told Snow it was because INH didn't show your "changed" PMs. If that was the case, why didn't you publicly go in the thread like nutella did and ask him to show the correct PMs? And how you actually approached Daisy during that vote and told her to save AP, and yet you two still didn't vote that way? Oh, that's right, because you're both backstabbers.

Let me mention that I never once agreed to that eight-person alliance, only that I was volunteered to it. I could see right through your and DH's shit from a mile away and that you never intended on keeping that alliance for anyone's interest but your own. What better way to control the game than to try to get everyone on your side?

I find it hilarious you two come out here and try this charade because of ANYONE playing this game, you two have been the most slippery and slimy players. That's why, in addition to the fact that you can save three people from custody and I don't trust you for two seconds, I decided it would be in most everyone's interest to get rid of you.

This is such bullshit and we all know it. Neither of you is intent on helping anyone else at all.

Does anyone want to explain to me why DH wanted to vote AP? That's something he didn't seem to mention.

Or why DH wanted Snow Dog to waste his kill on Epig so that he could dead role check him to try and find out if he switched his role or not? Because that totally made sense and wasn't an attempt at all to fuck with Snow Dog and get him to use it up.

I actually did change my PM and so did DH. I have no idea why INH didn't reflect that but we simply didn't think to correct him. We set up a big alliance because we'd been talking to a few people anyway so it just made sense to bring everyone together and FWIW we both would have helped any of our allies, it's only Matt that we decided we needed rid of because he kept messing us up. If you'd been on our side I could have released YOU from custody at some point. Don't act like you're some moral paragon trying to save everyone from the baddies. If you'd been presented with the opportunities we'd have you'd take them as well. You're no more trustworthy than anybody else.

If you think that's true, so be it, but I don't go around backstabbing and lying. Not once have I actually lied this game. If you think that makes me a moral paragon, that's your right. In reality, I just think you and DH are dangerous as all fuck and I have no reason to trust anything you or he say (and I observed this myself), and thus you both need to go ASAP.

I was hoping other players would realize that.

Considering AP and Snow Dog didn't seem to realize that at all and were seemingly clearly aligned with both of you, I figured an AP vote was the best way to go to see if you'd actually save him or not (even though you say you're aligned with him), and to get rid of the force voter who obviously has been trying to drive wedges anyway.

I'm not totally convinced that's the right way to go anymore; I think players should maybe vote you instead.
