London Mafia 1: Sherlock Holmes and the Final Problem was a themed mafiascum game played in the Theme Park forum. It lasted from April 17, 2003 until November 29, 2003 (225 days, 20 hours, 2 minutes) and featured a total of 1071 posts. The Town won this game.

This game was modded by Leonidas and Cadmium and was intended to be part of a trilogy (See London Mafia 2) though a third London Mafia game never took place. The game also featured an elaborate scoring system which rewarded in-game performance. [Link]

Introduction: Two fugitives

It was a dark and bitterly cold night in November, and a thin rain began to fall as he left the inn. His clothes were stained with dust, and his face was extremely pale; he seemed exhausted with hunger and fatigue.

On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Kent (for that was his true identity) had recently bid for and purchased the plans of a new cannon that would give a decisive advantage to the British army. Unfortunately, someone, it seemed, was eager to steal these secret plans. The Duke knew his life was in danger. This had forced him to seek refuge in the anonymity of the crowd.

"Life is infinitely strange", he thought. "Duke today, commoner tomorrow"... He had been staying in that inn for two nights; he decided he would leave in the morning. But for now, the Duke had some unfinished business.

He vanished into the night.

--

For many, the London fog was a frightening element of everyday life. For him, however, it was a shelter.

Sir William of Baskerville had arrived in London five days ago. The centuries-old curse placed upon his family was upon him, and the streets of London were safer than his family estate. But William was tired of hiding. Near the docks, he would find a pub, the warmth of a whiskey, the warmth of a crowd.

A long, low moan, indescribably sad, swept over the City. It filled the whole air, and yet it was impossible to say whence it came. From a dull murmur it swelled into a deep roar, and then sank back into a melancholy, throbbing murmur once again.

William started walking.

Role PMs

MeMe - Professor James Moriarty: You are Professor Moriarty. Sherlock Holmes often refers to you as the 'Napoleon of Crime'. Indeed, your intelligence and ability to organize crime are unparalleled. You start the game separated from the two mafia families of the game: the 'Moran' family, and the 'Hound' family. The 'Moran' family is led by your old friend and lieutenant, Sebastian Moran. The 'Hound' family has just arrived in London; they kill by unleashing a Hound in the streets of London. You have to establish contact with each of these families separately. If you establish contact with a mafia family, you gain control of the family. Under your leadership, the forces of evil become more efficient, and act united. Contact with a mafia family can be established if: 1) you investigate a member of that family, 2) Colonel Sebastian Moran finds you (he is looking for you every night at the beginning of the game), 3) a thug of the Moran family attacks you, in which case he recognizes you and contact is established. You can also force Irene Adler to work for you should you investigate her (blackmail), in effect recruiting her - if you find her before Sherlock does.

Henchman, Korais666 - Hound mafia:' Welcome to the Hound Mafia family ! Korais666 is Mr Stapleton. Henchman is Beryl Stapleton, his wife. You have come to London to slay Sir William of Baskerville, as you stand to inherit his wealth after his death. Every second night, you unleash the Hound against a player of your choice. On the other night, you may investigate a player to check if he is Sir William of Baskerville. You may unleash the Hound on night 1. You win if Sir William of Baskerville dies and you survive the game. You get a bonus if he dies to the Hound.

Blynker, Jadesmar, Arminger - Moran Mafia: Welcome to the Moran Mafia family ! Blynker is Colonel Sebastian Moran, Professor Moriarty's loyal follower. At the beginning of the game, Moran is the leader of the 'Moran' mafia family, a regular Mafia family, with one kill per night. Moran's initial role is described below (Moran role 1). Moran's role 1: every night, you investigate a player. The only answer you get from me is whether this person is or not Moriarty. Moriarty is also looking for you. As soon as contact is established, Moriarty takes control of the family, and Moran's role changes (the new role will be communicated to you then). Moran does not have Godfather immunity to investigation.He can't be the one out to assassinate and investigate on the same night. Jadesmar is Harry Sutton, a thug in the 'Moran' family. His sister, Ellen Sutton, is a townie. If he is sent to kill her, he recruits her instead, and she becomes mafia. Arminger is Oliver Clay, a thug in the 'Moran' family. Congratulations to all of you, and welcome to the evil side.

Antrax - Mrs Watson: You are Mrs Mary Watson, Dr John Watson's wife. You have no special power. You win with the town.

CaptainBlicero - Wiggins: You are Wiggins, a street boy with rare cunning and cleverness, and one of Sherlock Holmes' allies in his crusade against crime. Your knowledge of the streets of London is unparalleled. Every night, you may tail a player of your choice to see what he does at night.

Discer - Townie (female): You are Sarah McMillan, a townie.

massive/Doomcow - Townie (female): You are Liza Doolittle, a townie.

d8p - Irene Adler: You are Irene Adler. When Sherlock Holmes refers to you, it is under the honourable title of 'The Woman', a tribute to your cleverness and courage. A Prima Donna during the day, you display your great talent for intrigue at night, and are able to beat the best plans of the most brilliant minds in this game. Every night, you may ruin another player's plans, thus preventing him from taking a night action. Both Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty are looking for you. If Sherlock Holmes finds you first, you may communicate with him at night, and coordinate your night actions with him. If Moriarty finds you first, you become mafia, and allow him to use your unique talents against the town.

Jalyn/Talitha - Beggar: You are Sam, a beggar, wandering through the streets of London. ONCE IN THE GAME ONLY, you may tail a player of your choice to see what he does at night.You win with the town.

Jeep - Townie: Your name is Jack, you are a sailor. You have no special power, and you win with the town.

JereIC - Sir William of Baskerville: You are Sir William of Baskerville, the last of the Baskerville. You are on the mafia's hit list, ie: under certain conditions, the mafia gets a bonus for killing you. You have no special power, and you win with the town.

Norinel/JohnWWells - townie: You are Ellen Sutton, a townie. Your dear brother, Harry Sutton, is a thug in Moriarty's organization. If he is sent to kill you, he recruits you instead, and you become mafia.

Kingpin - Mrs Hudson: You are Mrs Hudson, landlady to Sherlock Holmes. You have no special power. You win with the town.

Mackay - Nurse: You are Elizabeth Blessington. You are a nurse. You may protect one player every night; if that player is attacked, you cure his wounds and save his life. You win with the town.

Mith - Inspector Bradstreet: You are Inspector Bradstreet, a Scotland Yard Inspector. While Scotland Yard Inspectors have a reputation of incompetence, your deductive skills and intelligence are high. You may investigate another player every night. Of course, you win with the town.

Night Stalker - Townie: You are John Smith, a townie. (Sorry NS, we couldn't help it - you get a bonus for playing the most difficult part in this game)

Porro - Townie (female): You are Jane Moore, a townie.

Rite - Townie: You are Professor Kendall, a brilliant professor of physics at London University. You are a townie.

Totem - Inspector Lestrade: You are Inspector Lestrade, a famous and respected Scotland Yard Inspector. Every night, you may investigate another player. Needless to say, you win with the town.

Werebear - Mycroft Holmes: You are Mycroft Holmes, brother to Sherlock Holmes. Should Sherlock die, you may claim all the information in his possession at the time of his death - investigations, roles, etc. Needless to say, you win with the town.

Dourgrim, Kelvin/Dragon Phoenix, Green Crayons - Masons: Welcome to the Grand Lodge of London. You are London's Freemasons. Dourgrim is Jabez Wilson, a painter. Kelvin is George Warwick, an architect. Finally, Green Crayons is the Duke of Kent. On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Kent recently bid for and purchased the plans of a new canoon that will give a decisive advantage to the British army. Unfortunately, the mafia's eagerness to steal these secret plans places him on top of their hit list (ie: under certain conditions, the mafia gets a bonus for his death). This has forced him to seek refuge in the anonymity of the crowd. But he is a freemason, and the other members of the Grand Lodge are determined to help him if they can. You may discuss the game at night.

Dragon Slayer - Sherlock Holmes: You are Sherlock Holmes. You use your startling deductive skills to fight against the forces of intrigue and evil, led by Professor Moriarty. You may investigate one player every night. In this game, Mathcam is your old friend Dr John Watson. You may communicate with him at night. Very important: another role in the game, Irene Adler, is a powerful character. She can join either you or Moriarty. She will join the first of you who approaches/investigates her.

Mathcam - Dr John Watson: You are the famous Dr John Watson, Sherlock Holmes' closest friend. In this game, Dragon Slayer is Sherlock Holmes. You may protect one player every night; if that player is attacked, you cure his wounds and save his life. You may also communicate with Sherlock Holmes at night. You win with the town.

Mikegoo/Indentureddjinn - Jack The Ripper: You are the respectable Dr Charles Meadows, a talented doctor, known for curing the ailments of Dukes and beggars alike, with no discrimination. Alas. At night, you succumb to your schizophrenia, and wander through the streets of London, hoping to find a woman to stab to death. One of these lives has a future. Unfortunately for the town, it seems it is not the first one... By now, you have probably understood that you are Jack the Ripper. Every night, you approach a player. If that player's role is a female, you kill her in the fogs of London... and your legend grows. If it is a male, you waste the entire night protecting him - you are a doctor, after all. You win if you survive the game and all female roles are dead.

Night 0

Night 0 ended with the reveal that Mackay (Elizabeth Blessington), a pro-town Doctor, had been stabbed to death while jeep (Jack the Sailor), a vanilla townie, had been killed by the Hound.

  • mith (Inspector Bradstreet) investigated Blynker (Colonel Sebastian Moran) and got his role's physical description.
  • mikegoo (Jack the Ripper) night-killed Mackay (Elizabeth Blessington).
  • Totem (Lestrade) investigated Green Crayons (Duke of Kent) and got some role information.
  • Korias666 (Mr. Stapleton) night-killed jeep (Jack the Sailor)

Night 0 lasted 3 days, 14 hours, and 56 minutes.

Day 1

Day 1 ended with the lynch of Blynker (Colonel Sebastian Moran), a member of the Moran Mafia.

In the midst of random voting, mith claimed an investigative role and a guilty description of Blynker. Blynker tried a fake-claimed, but he underestimated the depth of mith's investigation result. Caught in a lie, Blynker was summarily lynched.

Final Vote Count:
Blynker (14): mathcam, Norinel, rite, Dourgrim, d8p, CaptainBlicero, MeMe, mith, JereIC, Kelvin, Green Crayons, Werebear, jadesmar, Jalyn
Totem (3): KingPin, mikegoo, Henchman
Green Crayons (1): Totem
mith (1): Blynker

Day 1 lasted 2 days, 2 hours, and 23 minutes (74 Posts).

Night 1

Night 1 ended with the reveal that Antrax (Mary Watson), a vanilla townie, had been stabbed to death.

  • mith (Inspector Bradstreet) investigated Antrax (Mary Watson) and got his role's physical description.
  • mikegoo (Jack the Ripper) night-killed Antrax (Mary Watson).
  • Totem (Lestrade) investigated Henchman (Beryl Stapleton) and got some role information.

Night 1 lasted 1 day, 6 hours, and 19 minutes.

Day 2

Day 1 ended with the lynch of JereIC (Sir William of Baskerville), a vanilla townie and prime target of the Hound Mafia.

Totem is bandwagonned early for some shady misspeaking, but he explains that English isn't his first language and gets a bit of a pass. JereIC is given 11 of 13 votes and is forced to fakeclaim Sheldon the Nottingham Killer (as a sort of Survivor role) in order to hide his real role which is a prime mafia target. The bandwagon abated a bit, but the town realized that they didn't like the idea of an unaligned player amongst them. Maybe he was a Serial Killer? JereIC is soon lynched.

Final Vote Count:
JereIC (13): Green Crayons, Porro, jadesmar, Totem, Kelvin, DoomCow, CaptainBlicero, mith, Dragon Slayer, KingPin, Henchman, mikegoo, JereIC
Kelvin (4): Korias666, mathcam, MeMe, d8P
Totem (1): Jalyn
DoomCow (1): Night Stalker
rite (1): Dourgrim

Day 1 lasted 5 days, 16 hours, and 35 minutes. (140 Posts)

Night 2

Night 2 ended with the reveal that mathcam (Dr. John Watson), a doctor and mason, had been both shot and hounded to death. Additionally, Henchman (Beryl Stapleton), a mafia goon and flavor cop, had been stabbed.

  • mikegoo (Jack the Ripper) night-killed Henchman (Beryl Stapleton).
  • Totem (Lestrade) investigated Werebear (Mycroft Holmes) and got some role information.
  • Korias666 (Mr. Stapleton) night-killed mathcam (Dr. John Watson)
  • mith (Inspector Bradstreet) investigated Norinel (Ellen Sutton) and got some role information.

Night 2 lasted 5 days, 9 hours, and 20 minutes.

Day 3

Day 3 ended with the lynching of KingPin (Mrs Hudson), a vanilla townie.

After mathcam (Dr. Watson)'s death, the town felt like you was trying to point at a guilty verdict against Kelvin. After being bandwagonned, Kelvin claimed mason and eventually his group name. lacking any paticular clues, the town suspected rite due to his inactivity. rite claimed Professor Kendall, but the town was thrown in confusion as the character didn't exist in any Doyle novel. It was noted that the deceased Elizabeth Blessington didn't either until a tenable link was made to the Sutton family. Totem claimed Inspector Lestrade, but made note that his investigations are probably really sketchy. Green Crayons was bandwagonned after an investigation result and revealed he was mason with Kelvin. Werebear also claimed Mycroft Holmes at one point.

Pressure on discer made him reveal his role (Sarah McMillan) and Porro revealed his role (Jane Moore) soon after which helped prove that there were non-Doyle characters in the game. As deadline approach, the town settled uneasily on KingPin, mostly for refusing to respond to anything.

Final Vote Count:
KingPin (8): Jalyn, mikegoo, CaptainBlicero, Norinel, Totem, MeMe, Dragon Slayer, Dourgrim
rite (4): Night Stalker, jadesmar, Kelvin, mith
discer (2): KingPin, rite

Day 3 lasted 28 days, 2 hours, and 20 minutes. (Post Count: 285)

Night 3

Night 3 ended with the reveal that mith (Inspector Bradstreet), a pro-town cop, had been killed by a cab. Also, discer (Sarah McMillan), a vanilla townie, had been stabbed to death.

  • mikegoo (Jack the Ripper) night-killed discer (Sarah McMillan).
  • Totem (Lestrade) investigated MeMe (Moriarty) and got some role information.

Night 3 lasted 8 days, 22 hours, and 47 minutes.

Day 4

Day 4 ended with the lynch of Night Stalker (John Smith), a vanilla townie.

Totem revealed his investigation result which painted MeMe as eventually suspicious. Armwinger responded with a vote on MeMe which got himself a bandwagon led my MeMe. Then the board crashed. After everyone got their bearings and a few players were replaced, everyone remembered that they were voting for Night Stalker. Night Stalker claimed John Smith, but nobody believed him.

Final Vote Count:
Night Stalker (10): Werebear, MeMe, Dourgrim, CaptainBlicero, indentureddjinn, Green Crayons, Untrod Tripod, Dragon Slayer, rite, Quagmire

Day 4 lasted 116 days, 12 hours, and 49 minutes. Post Count: 222

Night 4

Night 4 ended with the reveal that Green Crayons (Duke of Kent), a mason, had been killed by a compass. Also, Quagmire (Harry Sutton), a Moran Mafia Goon, had been killed by the Hound.

  • Korias666 (Mr. Stapleton) night-killed Quagmire (Harry Sutton)
  • d8P (Irene Adler) blocks MeMe (Professor Moriarty)

Night 4 lasted 10 days, 2 hours, and 5 minutes.

Day 5

Day 5 ended with the lynch of indentureddjinn (Dr Charles Meadows/Jack The Ripper), a Doctor/Serial Killer.

A couple of lurker bandwagons got started on Untrod Tripod and Jalyn, but an errant post be indentureddjinn attracts CaptainBlicero's attention and he leads a bandwagon that made indentureddjinn claim as Jack the Ripper. The lynch was pretty obvious at that point.

Final Vote Count:
indentureddjinn (9): CaptainBlicero, MeMe, Untrod Tripod, korais666, Norinel, Dourgrim, d8p, Dragon Slayer, rite
Untrod Tripod (1): Porro

Day lasted 10 days, 11 hours, and 23 minutes. (Post Count: 84)

Night 5

Night 5 ended with the reveal that Totem (Inspector Lestrade) had been shot.

  • d8P (Irene Adler) blocks MeMe (Professor Moriarty)

Night 5 lasted 6 days, 13 hours, and 1 minute.

Day 6

Day 6 ends with the lynch of Untrod Tripod (Oliver Clay), a Moran Mafia Goon.

A few new replacements come in and offer some new persepectives. Dragon Slayer continues to push his case on Untrod Tripod and he starts to get some traction. Talitha claims Sam the Beggar after pressure from MeMe. Norinel claims Ellen Sutton, noting that mith had investigated her earlier and the mod notes she hadn't been recruited by mafia yet. Plus her recruiter brother had already died, so Norinel was clear.

Out of suspects, the town turns back to Untrod Tripod who begins to panic and claims to be a serial killer, no wait, vigilante. A confused town is pretty convinced that whoever he is, he's evil and they hang him.

Final Vote Count:
Untrod Tripod (8): Dragon Slayer, Dragon Phoenix, Talitha, Dourgrim, korais666, rite, MeMe, CaptainBlicero
Dragon Slayer (1): Untrod Tripod

Day 6 lasted 10 days, 18 hours, 31 minutes. (Post Count: 210)

Night 6

Night 6 ends with the reveal that MeMe (Professor Moriarty), a mafia leader, had been killed by the Hound.

  • d8P (Irene Adler) blocks MeMe (Professor Moriarty)
  • Korias666 (Mr. Stapleton) night-killed MeMe (Professor Moriarty)

Night 6 lasted 11 days, 1 hour, and 25 minutes.

Day 7

Day 7 ends with the lynch of korais666 (Mr. Stapleton), a mafia goon.

Final Vote Count:
korais666 (7): Dragon Phoenix, d8P, CaptainBlicero, Talitha, Dragon Slayer, Werebear, Norinel

Day 7 lasted 5 days, 5 hours, and 57 minutes. (Post Count: 46)
