rpanons | [D] Reading an actual book

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

I've just picked him up, based in the series but probably added a bit of book!canon here and there. Advice on how not to godmode with the way he picks up details, and just in general, would be great. Thanks.

i know a sherlock player linked her own post: http://consulting.dreamwidth.org/4042.html once here

The way to not godmode is to not godmode. Lots of OOC communication during any logs. Ask, ask, ask.

As a Sherlock player, I think you should study the methods of logical analysis and cold reading, just to understand the limits of the methods before you have him notice details. Also, if you're planning on joining a game with him, put up a permissions post asking what he is allowed to notice about other characters.

If you're just memeing/dear_muning/etc, try to have him pick up things in people's action tags that would be noticeable details. As I said before, Sherlock employs all three methods of logical analysis, so he doesn't just deduce, he induces, and abduces. Some of what he does is akin to educated guessing.

Also, don't be afraid to have him be wrong sometimes! He does say he always gets something wrong, so using some of his deductions to come to incorrect conclusions is perfectly in character. And be prepared for people to get annoyed with him: he is a very abrasive character, and negative CR is more or less commonplace with him. I hope this helps!
