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...)

So far so lucky. My last case was an AI with 11 suspects, 1 slim footprint, and 3 footprints found at the crime scene. Luckily none of the suspects had the shoemaker for an alibi. Out of the 6 suspects with fake alibis only 2 had a slim footprint, ruled that out and was able to ask one more question before the shoemaker wouldn't talk. Needless to say I still had six suspects. The only thing I could use at this point was the fact that Ben's avatar was one of the suspects and he was also my client. So I tried to get WE against him and success, I was able to arrest my fez wearing murderer!
Wish I could say I nabbed the guilty party because I'm just so darn skillful, but this time lady luck gets all the credit.

It's a known fact that mr Ringold likes to be the culprit. So does Clark Gable.

I've also noticed that my second case after a favor tends to be my client ending up being the guilty party (65%-70%? Of the time). Not scientific by any means just an observation. I think for my other detective it tends to be the third case after a favor that the client is guilty.

It is known.

Really?!!? Only in my dreams would I get a case like that.
Damn some people get all the luck.

mmm I love those cases where you have four hairs and the barber is the alibi for 4 of your suspects and you actually have the Barber as a contact!

Bit of a shame there were two potential murderers left really. It's nearly perfect!

Those are good cases, Squirrel! It's a little like when you visit your contact, find out someone matches some evidence, then you ask the their abili and it's your contact again, and it's false. Great choice of lie murderer, great choice.

I have a profound dislike for all the thread experts. Those tedious textile terrorists.

I personally loathe barbers. The whole lot of 'em. I'll trade ya my barbers for your tailors, BadAss?? ;-)

As for the rest of my day....

I'm really beginning to hate that trip up to Shangri-La. This is the third time I'll be making it in four days. Ick. Lara Mallory, you better get the hot chocolate ready, big time. And some tuna. Missy's not in a jovial mood at the moment. :-/
