Yeah, it was independent, but it at least clears up that the email is either Moriarty or somebody relatively close to Moriarty.

...What about possibly just soembody who WANTS to be Moriarty, character or otherwise? Someone who really knows their Holmes canon and was invested in the character and knew about the wall breaking down?

Whatever the case, I'm still willing to consider it may be a different continuity's Moriarty. He doesn't seem as technologically and socially unfamiliar as Holmes is...

I thought that as well. He could also have been here longer and adapted better.

Yeah, I've ALSO been thinking that too. Strange Minds DO Think Alike!

Strange is the right word.

I don't think it's anything to do with the Kingston Defence, I think it's just simply J. Marty (Moriarty) is moving the knight (Holmes) to e4 (Leslie Okogwu's location.)

For the sake of completeness, I suggested a theory when we realized this that the drug dealer noticed the same parallels to Holmes that we did in that post and was making a joke. That would mean the name is a red herring. On the other hand, Conservation of Narrative Detail and all...

Yea. In other words, a metaphor that uses chess to sound cool. I was just examining any possibly references to real, famous plays to be sure that they weren't hiding more info in that username.

HAVE WE FOUND OUT ANYTHING NEW

Nothing definite, as far as I know. Awaiting new plot twists...

I'm waiting to see if the commenter will actually answer reply's. Beyond that we have no real lead and will be forced to wait.

I occupy myself with re-watching and reading fanwork on BBC's Sherlock. Better than camping the forums like a nerd with nothing better to do. Even if that is exactly what I am.

I don't feel so bad stalking around the forums. in My expressive design class I'm on the computer the whole class, I just keep the site open in a separate tab. But this isn't the thread to discuss this lol.

Yeah, I know. I just feel like I should have a whole bunch of important stuff to say and the first thing that comes to mind is "I'm bored as f***." And with the Cat being even more cryptic and unhelpful than usual, with no idea when Poirot or Hefner will come back in contact, and Mr. A being as high-and-mighty and completely uninformative as ever, real life feels like a particularly irritating stand still.

Oh, and the therapist tweets about her cats. As though the internet doesn't have enough cats. Doesn't anyone own a dog on the internet?

Well, there are some trends to make foxes the new thing to adore.

Ergo, you are not on the internet.

You cannot trust your senses, only logic.

I'll take a rapping fish if it breaks the monotony.

The Chesire cat would just eat it...and there would be much rejoicing

While I think this conversation is funny, it's pretty off topic for this thread. Let's not clutter up the important threads with this stuff now,

I just wanted to point out, since almost everyone has been sold that Hugh or someone related is Holmes, Joe posted that he wasn't entirely convinced of that. I would keep our eyes open as to who else they could be, because I know a lot of fictional characters who are detectives who could easily be this...Hugh Hefner. Let's just keep our eyes open.

Or he is playing reverse psychology by saying keep a watch out after we figured it out. After all we are pretty sure Moriarty has something to do with this so I am pretty sure Holmes would be here to.

(Not to mention all the Cool Vs. Awesome involved )

Has nobody seen the new post? "Hefner" is planning on finding Poirot tonight... and there's no doubt about his identity now.

Not only did he admit to being Sherlock Holmes, but the two points he made are both accurate. (Poirot hasn't posted yet, though. )

I never doubted who it was. At least there supposed to be in England so something should develop before I crash. Can we rename the sub-forum now?

Do the new mods have the necessary permissions? Otherwise I'll PM Ed.

I've replied to his post, but I don't if he'll see it before the plot develops, it's being moderated.
