I'm not really sure what to do here. I never really said anything that would disallow sockpuppets, so these guys are not really ruining anything. And, no offense, everyone is biased as fuck as to whether this should be allowed.

#1152

Funny how DH likes unorthodox rules (like free rezzes for no reason) only when they work in his favor.

#1153

The way I see it everyone had access to IOU so IOU is fair play. Everyone had access to friends and such, so friends and such are fair play. American Gods accounts are underhanded and not fair play IMO because not everyone has access to them.

The sign ups have been open for some time now. Anyone who wanted could have signed up and gotten an account.

If you want to justify cheating to fulfill a vendetta against someone who beat you go for it.

I actually agree with this, but in the end it's totally INH's call and I see all sides of the argument, and I do admit the American Gods sockpuppets make it really interesting regardless of the result.

However, it is very interesting to note that, taking out the American Gods accounts, the lynch is currently tied.

I'm not playing it, or any other game until next June, because I don't have the time. Does that mean I deserve to be disadvantaged in this game? Why should those who are playing it be allowed to have 2 votes in this game's poll?

I don't see how it's cheating to follow the rules INH made up. Also, your claim that "everyone has access to friends" is ridiculous. Does a new player, like Jigsaw, have the same access to friends as someone who has ben on the site since the beginning? Of course not.

#1160

Poll over. RIP Bullz.

Lizzy who are we voting for tomorrow?

Instead of having another fucking tie, which I seem to had have for the last 4 days, and have it be completely random, I'm siding with the Bullzeye voters. Nothing in my instructions were against this. You could have tried and rallied more people, or even the other players who had played the American Gods game.

#1163

Oh well. Whoever said cheaters never prosper.

Very well played game, Bullz, it goes without saying. That said, I do get some sense of satisfaction knowing I could be responsible for your demise as you were for mine.

Come and play

THE DIOGENES CLUB. Mycroft walks across one of the common rooms, where an old man is fast asleep in an armchair, and goes into the smaller private room, reaching for the door handle to close it, but he stops as he realises that John is sitting in one of the armchairs with his back to him. John is still looking through Kitty’s file.
JOHN: She has really done her homework, Miss Riley – things that only someone close to Sherlock could know.
MYCROFT (closing the door): Ah.
JOHN: Have you seen your brother’s address book lately? Two names: yours and mine, and Moriarty didn’t get this stuff from me.
(Mycroft walks across the room to face him.)
MYCROFT: John ...
JOHN: So how does it work, then, your relationship? D’you go out for a coffee now and then, eh, you and Jim?
(Mycroft sits down in the chair opposite and opens his mouth but John interrupts again. His voice is full of controlled anger.)
JOHN: Your own brother, and you blabbed about his entire life to this maniac.
MYCROFT: I never inten... I never dreamt ...
JOHN (interrupting): So this ...th-th-this ... (he looks through the papers again) ... is what you were trying to tell me, isn’t it: “Watch his back, ’cause I’ve made a mistake.”
(He slaps the papers down on the table beside his chair and sits back, clearing his throat as he tries to stay calm.)
JOHN: How did you meet him?
(Mycroft draws in a long breath.)
MYCROFT: People like him: we know about them; we watch them. But James Moriarty ... the most dangerous criminal mind the world has ever seen, and in his pocket the ultimate weapon: a keycode. A few lines of computer code that could unlock any door.
JOHN: And you abducted him to try and find the keycode?
MYCROFT: Interrogated him for weeks.
(Flashback to Mycroft watching through a one-way mirror as, in the cell on the other side of the mirror – the cell we saw at the end of “The Hounds of Baskerville” – a man viciously beats a seated Jim across the face.)
JOHN: And?
MYCROFT: He wouldn’t play along.
(In the flashback, Jim slowly turns his head towards the front after the blow and stares up at his interrogator, who strikes him again.)
MYCROFT: He just sat there, staring into the darkness.
(Again Jim turns his head to the front, appearing unphased by the assault. The interrogator strikes him again.)
MYCROFT: The only thing that made him open up ...
(Ruefully he gestures to himself. In the flashback, Mycroft opens the door to the cell and stops in the doorway. Jim lifts his head and looks at Mycroft’s reflection in the mirror in front of him.)
MYCROFT: I could get him to talk ...
(Mycroft comes into the room and turns to shut the door behind him. Jim closes his eyes and smiles blissfully as Mycroft walks closer.)
MYCROFT: ... just a little, but ...
(He trails off. John grimly finishes the sentence for him.)
JOHN: ... in return you had to offer him Sherlock’s life story. So one big lie – Sherlock’s a fraud – but people will swallow it because the rest of it’s true.
(He leans forward in his chair.)
JOHN: Moriarty wanted Sherlock destroyed, right? And you have given him the perfect ammunition.
(He smiles bitterly at him. Mycroft lowers his eyes. John pulls in a sharp breath and then gets to his feet, turning towards the door.)
MYCROFT: John ...
(John turns back. Mycroft looks up at him.)
MYCROFT (softly): I’m sorry.
JOHN (tightly): Oh, please ...
(He shakes his head in disbelief and turns away, laughing humourlessly as he walks to the door.)
MYCROFT: Tell him, would you?
(John opens the door and walks away, leaving the door open behind him.)

BART’S LAB. The lights are now on. Sherlock sits alone on the floor with his back against the bench. He is bouncing a small rubber ball off the floor and cupboard in front of him and catching it before repeating the movement constantly. John comes in.
JOHN: Got your message.
(Sherlock catches the ball and holds on to it.)
SHERLOCK: The computer code is key to this. If we find it, we can use it – beat Moriarty at his own game.
JOHN: What d’you mean, “use it”?
SHERLOCK: He used it to create a false identity, so we can use it to break into the records and destroy Richard Brook.
JOHN: And bring back Jim Moriarty again.
SHERLOCK (standing up): Somewhere in 221B, somewhere – on the day of the verdict – he left it hidden.
(He turns and faces the bench, putting both hands on the work surface. John walks to stand beside him, unconsciously mimicking his stance.)
JOHN: Uh-huh.
(Both of them stare ahead of them, thinking. John purses his lips, then looks at Sherlock.)
JOHN: What did he touch?
SHERLOCK: An apple. Nothing else.
(He briefly drums his fingers on the bench.)
JOHN: Did he write anything down?
SHERLOCK: No.
(John hisses in a breath and looks away, racking his brains and again unconsciously mimicking his friend by drumming his own fingers on the bench. After a moment, he turns and walks across the lab, blowing the breath out again. Sherlock lifts the fingers of his right hand, hesitates for a moment, then begins to drum them again but now he’s beating out a specific rhythm as, in his mind, binary code begins to stream out from his fingers. He lifts his head as John sighs heavily, unaware of Sherlock’s sharpened expression. Straightening up, Sherlock turns his back to John, takes his phone out of his pocket and begins to type a text message:
Come and play.
Bart’s Hospital rooftop.
SH
He pauses for a moment, then adds:
PS. Got something
of yours you might
want back.
Sending the message, he tucks his phone away into his jacket and then turns back towards the bench, his eyes full of thought.)

Bullzeye has been eliminated. Two teams are left. Dharmahelper and Lizzy VS A Person and Mongoose. It is now Night 12. Good luck.

I'm not mad at INH, I'm mad at the people that voted using the American God's accounts. Because A) It's underhanded and bullshitty and not the way I'd like to lose. and B) The votes came in at the end, which tells me that ya'll that whipped them accounts out would rather win like assholes then lose like gentlemen.

#1178

Well played, the nine people who actually voted for me.

Linki: Completely agree with DH.

Lying about a prize as a bargaining chip and voting using accounts nobody else has access to are two separate issues.

TWIST #6

After seeing Flying High's avatar, and out of general boredom, I googled "The Yogscast". They are a YouTube gaming channel, that have had more then 2000 videos. One of their longest running series is Tekkit, with 92 episodes. In one episode, the words "Freezer level, what the hell is a freezer level?" are said. The person who tells me what episode and at what time in the before said video get's an extra vote in the Day 13 lynch. You have 24 hours.

I didn't know there would be a fucking sockpuppet game, but the votes still stand.

So I was working all day yesterday and this morning, so I missed this event, but f*cking jeezus, I was drinking water while reading this and just near choked myself to death.

Hilarious.

Sorry, no more on topic, but I had to let you all know hahaha!

Busy?

Some hours later, dawn is breaking. Sherlock is still in the same place, although he’s now sitting down with his feet up on the bench. He is rapidly rolling the rubber ball from side to side across the bench, his fingers flickering rapidly over the top of the ball. John has sat on a stool at a nearby bench and has his head down on his folded arms, asleep. His phone rings. Lifting his head tiredly, he groans and answers the phone.
JOHN: Yeah, speaking.
(He listens for a moment.)
JOHN (shocked): Er, what?
(He gets to his feet.)
JOHN: What happened? Is she okay? (He listens.) Oh my God. Right, yes, I’m coming.
(He switches the phone off.)
SHERLOCK: What is it?
JOHN: Paramedics. Mrs Hudson – she’s been shot.
SHERLOCK: What? How?
JOHN (frantically): Well, probably one of the killers you managed to attract ... Jesus. Jesus. She’s dying, Sherlock. Let’s go.
(He turns towards the door.)
SHERLOCK (disinterestedly): You go. I’m busy.
(John turns back towards him, his face appalled.)
JOHN: Busy?
SHERLOCK: Thinking. I need to think.
JOHN: You need to ...? Doesn’t she mean anything to you? You once half killed a man because he laid a finger on her.
SHERLOCK (shrugging): She’s my landlady.
JOHN (furiously): She’s dying ...
(He flails a hand in front of himself in utter disbelief at Sherlock’s attitude.)
JOHN: You machine.
(He looks down, shaking his head.)
JOHN: Sod this. Sod this. (He heads towards the door.) You stay here if you want, on your own.
SHERLOCK: Alone is what I have. Alone protects me.
JOHN (opening the door and looking back at him angrily): No. Friends protect people.
(He storms out of the room. Sherlock lifts his gaze towards the door. A moment later his phone trills a text alert. He reaches into his pocket and looks at the message:
I’m waiting...
JM
Taking his feet off the bench and standing up, he walks across the lab buttoning his jacket. He picks up his coat, opens the door and leaves the room.)

It is now Day 13. You have 24 hours.

#1196

Seriously? Am I the only one left who gives a fuck about this game? It was a very simple challenge, but none of you participated. So, we get another fucking tie. Did I mention how much I hate ties? If there is a tie, which there unavoidably will be, the eliminated person will be randomly chosen from all of you.

#1197

Yay for the wrath of INH!

#1198

Uhm, I attempted the thing twice. I didn't win, but I gave it a shot.

#1199

Lol @ The poll title.

#1200

I enjoyed the game when I was in it, and still do, INH!
