Sherlock 13: game "test3"

I’ve worked out a way to get @Robot_Maria to send PMs via the API, and I have a list of characters and their icons. So all I need is 2-4 players.

I did change some icons to match available emoji (pipe to monocled face, necklace to woman, police badge to policeman), so the list of suspects is:

Sebastian Moran :fist: :skull:
Irene Adler :bulb: :woman: :skull:
Inspector G. Lestrade :policeman: :bookmark: :eye:
Inspector Gregson :fist: :policeman: :bookmark:
Inspector Baynes :bulb: :policeman:
Inspector Bradstreet :fist: :policeman:
Inspector Hopkins :face_with_monocle: :policeman: :eye:
Sherlock Holmes :face_with_monocle: :bulb: :fist:
John H. Watson :face_with_monocle: :fist: :eye:
Mycroft Holmes :face_with_monocle: :bulb: :bookmark:
Mrs Hudson :face_with_monocle: :woman:
Mary Morstan :bookmark: :woman:
James Moriarty :bulb: :skull:

and your scoring sheet will look like:

- :face_with_monocle: :bulb: :fist: :policeman: :bookmark: :woman: :eye: :skull:
- 5 5 5 5 4 3 3 3

@Chewy77, I’m assuming that’s “not wanting to play” for now.

Play order:

You should each have received a PM from Maria (for game “test3”) with your three suspect cards. (Ignore and delete “test2” with four suspects - that was my error.)

So each turn you can say one of:

  • “who has [symbol]” (everyone answers truthfully yes or no, active player does not give away information about their own symbols)
  • “[player], how many [symbol] do you have” (everyone answers truthfully)
  • “I think the crook is [character name]” (I get Maria to send you a PM)

pillbox, you’re up…
