Have you just had your best day of Sleuthing ever? Solved your first AI case? Got your last contact? Picked up your first treasure? Found a spoon? Finally got into the Prince's Palace?*

This is the place to share the joy, have a 'woot' or two and be congratulated by your fellow Sleuths.

Or maybe you've just had to pay Shady enough cash to finance a small war. Or reached screaming point with the tailor in Delhi. Or been pirated twice in a row. Or fallen into a trap three times running. You can share the woe, too, and we'll commiserate. We've probably been there too.

Me? I'm just happy that after two days' worth of 'south of the race track' I've finally got out of Shanghai :)

(* If you don't get the references, never mind. You could ask someone. Or you could just wait and see what the world of Sleuth brings you further down the line...)

Sorry Eden! :(

Oh no, don't be. It's something to be laughed at actually -except the time you spend- . If you could picture how addictive the game's become. My hand acting before my reaction time and all. I think I can picture myself playing graphic rpg games if I ever get to be 90 years old. Head stuck to the monitor, marry the computer, yay!

As director of Queen's Gambit. We absolutely stand by our members. Even when they make bonehead mistakes. LJ and cfm are correct--we in Gambit are eager and willing to help you bounce back. An invitation has already been sent to you.

Please come back. Just as you are. :)

Oh. Bonehead. Great.

Well, I definitely deserved that, too, lol. I think this brand new adjective may actually be the only thing to stop me from making mistakes. It's a natural ego-knock out.

But habits do linger and I am already in a lot of debt. Please check your PM in case you see this first.

Eden has returned to Gambit. He is now working on restoring contacts.

Everyone! Heed this warning. Please pay Shady when you get 2 FA's. Don't do any more cases until you do. Beg or borrow the money if you don't have enough.

Remember it is less expensive in Delhi to pay off Shady.

Thank you Queen. I know I should've stopped playing, but if I could survive the day, I was going to be able to pay Shady.

So I should add: Everyone who's that close to paying Shady: don't get captivated with the thought. Learned it the hard way.

Sorry about Gilbert... Everything else is gained with a little time and effort...

So here I was in Shanghai working my last case of the day, thinking this is going to be a breeze. I open an AI case, do the crime scene and I get four hairs. Needless to say i don't have the barber as my contact in Shanghai. So I work the case and to make it worst, 2 suspects' alibi are at the barber.

So I'm thinking that this cannot end well. But I noticed that all hairs are straight. So I started to work the suspects. The first one with a fake alibi had curly hair. I thought cool, one down. The second one had straight hair. I'm thinking one for one. Then all other four suspects have curly hair.

So I have all suspects eliminated by the evidence but one and I didn't have the barber contact. What are the odds? I think i'm going to the tracks next...

I guess it was worth it, I got the big winner title at the track...
