My friend is playing along as Sherlock and I got the first telegram with the link to the article Holmes wrote. So is that it for now, we are just sitting and waiting?

Well, I'm in, as a Holmes. And I have the first Telegraph (And the Monograph), and I noticed something about it.

Is it just me, or do some of the letters in the "heading" page look lighter?

I'm talking about the "her" in "Sherlock", and the "sb" in "Bloomsbury".

I was thinking it was some kind of code, perhaps an anagram, but after digging into it, I'm thinking it may just be a "Stylistic trick" to make the text look old, that has been left out of the right-hand side text (as it would probably make it unreadable).

Just throwing this out there, as a way of saying "Hi", and wondering if anyone else sees it.

I'm wondering how many issues they're having! Got the first 2 emails again, and now got a third

Dr. Watson requiring partner...STOP

[stugots]

the immediate things that popped out to me in the 'london news' is
a. smearing of some letters in the bottom left hand of the page 'one shilling'
b. small cursive writing above 'thompson' in the 7-11 ad
c. was there really 7-11's back then?

I'm wondering if this "Lady Conway" isn't Irene Adler...? A quick Google search didn't turn that up as one of her aliases, but I'm not super familiar with all the relevant canon. I does talk about her getting repeatedly arrested.

If that's not what we're supposed to be interested in, then perhaps the announcement about the new subway line? Lots of mystery to be had in a subway.

I received the three new telegrams (all three within two hours) even though my Watson has not confirmed, yet. No idea when and how they send those telegrams.

Since my potential co-player has not reacted over the weekend I might have to look for another Watson. So if someone is interested PM me.

Bonza! So glad the game is finally afoot!

I've dragged in the other half to be my other half, so to speak, and he shall be Holmes since apparently I'm Watson. He'll probably like that, though. lol

I've got all three emails; will look at them in more detail when I'm not at work.

Just received a new 'e-telegram'. Studying it as I speak:

I haven't been so excited for an arg since Year Zero, so when this game kicked off I grabbed myself a Watson and fired up a pipe! ...so to speak.

I bow before superior clue-finding skills, but I must bring up the fact that a life assurance company that pays out so highly, yet employs seemingly no one - is highly suspect. Also, what woman, so obsessed with wealth, suddenly converts to a religion which eschews the acquisition of material wealth?

/thinking like an avid Holmes-reader and not like an arg-player
