SVNBob October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 If we're looking for potential characters for the list, there's Sarah Sawyer, John's boss/girlfriend from the first series (I am American, but I know to use the term "series" for British programs instead of the American "season.") To that end there's also Detective Inspector Dimmock who only appeared in the 2nd episode of that first series. To go to the original canon, there's Inspector Gregson too. Maybe A.C Doyle himself, for the meta? No PM for me yet. But as much as I'm champing (not a typo) at the bit for this game to start, I'm glad it hasn't yet. Because I'm going to be unavailable for the rest of today (Friday) and all of Saturday. I'll be back during my usual late hours on Sunday. If the game begins and a vote of No DL starts before I'm able to check in, feel free to add me to that No DL vote. 1 Link to comment
Machiabelly October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 Any number of Baker Street Irregulars could fill out the list. No PM for me either 1 Link to comment
Meredith Quill October 9, 2015 Share October 9, 2015 Either all the PMs haven't been sent yet, or I am persona non grata. Don't worry, I don't think they've all gone out yet. I also haven't gotten mine. Me either. Also, Samwell Tarly is TOTALLY lovable, and I'd take him any day of the week! Now if it had been Ramsay, I'd run for the hills... Any number of Baker Street Irregulars could fill out the list. No PM for me either I haven't had a PM yet either so the game is only partially afoot. 2 Link to comment

TJtrack99 October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 You won a World Series just 7 seasons ago. And have fallen far below where we were since then.

Hanged Man October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 (edited) And have fallen far below where we were since then. But you have at least won one recently, some people on this board cheer for teams that haven't won a World Series and at least one cheers for a team that has never even made it to the WS. Speaking of which, a Cowboy game and a Ranger game happening around the same time means that parking is going to atrocious. I need to head out soon. I know you all are not interested in golf but the Americans put Holmes and Watson out as a team yesterday. That is the sort of thing my sister should have told me about.

photo fox October 13, 2015 Author Share October 13, 2015 (edited) Day 1There's An East Wind Coming“I need a case!” thundered Sherlock Holmes, rousing from the depths of his melancholy. “Oh, Sherlock,” tittered Mrs. Hudson nervously from the kitchen she was cleaning. “I do wish you wouldn’t startle me so.” Unperturbed, John Watson looked up from the newspaper he was idly glancing through, reaching out to pick up the cup of tea sitting next to his chair. “I’m sure something will turn up soon. Serial killer, mad bomber,” he said casually. “I wouldn’t worry.” Sherlock sat up on the sofa and sneered knowingly at his friend. “You need a fix as badly as I do. Two more days of this and you’ll be busting into a drug den again. See if you can refrain from breaking anyone’s bones this time.” John stood up sharply and snapped the paper closed. He could tell Sherlock was in one of his snits, and unlike the old days, he now had his own flat to retreat to. “It was sprained, not broken,” he replied, tightly controlling his legendary temper. “I’m heading off. Don’t forget Mary is expecting you for dinner tomorrow evening.” A genuine smile flitted quickly across Sherlock’s face at the thought of John’s new bride. “Of course. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Are you going to join us for a game of Cluedo?” “Pit myself against the world’s only consulting detective and a reformed assassin? I hardly think…” Grimacing, John broke off as a timid knock was heard on the door below. Sherlock rubbed his hands together with glee. “Client!” Mrs. Hudson scurried off to answer, returning a few moments later with the visitor trailing behind her. He stood hesitantly at the door, briefcase in hand. He was perfectly ordinary in appearance – neither short nor tall, neither thin nor fat, and was dressed in clothing that looked well-made but not expensive. His sole distinguishing feature was the truly astonishing brightness of his red hair. “Come in, then. Sit. Tell me your story quickly, and don’t leave out a single detail,” barked Sherlock, crossing his legs and pressing his fingertips together beneath his chin. “Don’t be boring!” John sighed, taking pity on the clearly distraught gentleman, introducing himself and indicating a chair. “Sherlock…” he muttered warningly. He smiled encouragingly at the poor fellow. “Go ahead.” Still on the Battlefield (in alphabetical order): aquarian1 caprice CuriousParker Drogo egavasc Hanged Man Jesse Lady Calypso Lisin Machiabelly MarkHB Oinky Boinky SilverStormm stacy SVNBob The Crazed Spruce TJtrack99 On a slab at St. Bart's: There is one clue in the story.
