We made some changes to the villain hunt clues today.

Most of these changes are intended to make them easier to read, and we cleaned up a few clues that were commonly misunderstood.

The bad news is, there were a couple situations where specific co-conspirators/hideouts that were impossible to narrow down to a single option, even with all the clues.

This was my mistake, and I’m really really sorry for the frustration it has caused people. Because of the random nature of these hunts, and the length they can take to complete, these situations were difficult to detect.

The missing clues have been added for those townies, so I’m now confident there are no longer any situations where somebody should have to guess on a villain hunt, as long as they are patient enough to get all the clues.

LOL Ben the last thing you should be is sheepish (baaaaa), you've done a great job.

Thanks for the changes :D

Well, after 123 cases in Shanghai I'm sure looking forward to tomorrow ;)

Gosh, I thought I was going crazy here! Thanks for fixing it--and for confirming my sanity! (On this issue, anyway!)

Sep-10-2006 14:56

Yay!!!

Ben, we knew you wouldn't purposely make us guess after we had spent weeks chasing the same guy (although, I confess, I gave up and guessed.)

lol the streets of Shanghai won't be the same without Greyling grabbing unwititng passersby by the arm asking, "Have you seen my last clue" with a slightly demented look in her eye. ;D

Can you provide us with an example of one of the confusing situations?

*literally got light-headed with relief reading that*

*faints moaning.."baaaa..."*

After failing my second villain hunt due to impatience and guessing (I really admire the tenacity of Greyling!) I'd sworn off the villain hunts for a while. Now I might be lured back again... :)

My failiures can be blamed for the vague nature of the clues.

Thank you Ben for changing them! Now I'll finally catch a villain without guessing.

And they're droppin' like flies! Thanks Ben!
