Then come back here for all your sign-ups, trash talk, updates, and other miscellaneous tourney needs. :)

Hey Autumnsprings! :)
That's a ten person case, making three reals and seven fakes (one of those being researched away), so I know the undetermined alibi is in fact a real one. All the physical evidence must match different suspects, so with three real alibis and four pieces of evidence each real alibi must match a bit of evidence. None of the reals can match the thread, therefore the murderer must match it instead. With only two fakes potentially matching the thread, and the Rug Merchant completely unquestioned, the guaranteed question from a bribe means there's no chance the case can be failed beyond a misclick.

Ah. Knowing it's a ten person does make it easier. :)
Thanks for the explanation! Like I said, it's been a looooooong time since I did a vh, and yesterday was the first time I've attempted AI cases since I've been back.
Thank you again.

I'll send you a PM about the particulars when I have a chance, Autumn. Bottom line, basically, there's one False Alibi (and no Real ones) that tie to the Male thread. That's your killer.
Hope that is a bit easier to understand. ;-)

Also, I wasn't clear if you were saying it narrowed things down enough that it made it unlikely you wouldn't solve it, or if it solved it for you. Knowing you still had more questions to ask makes me feel a little less dumb, lol.

You're not dumb for asking Autumnsprings. Since the actual deductions in Sleuth are based almost entirely on the underlying game mechanics you can't really be expected to go away for a few years AND remember all those rules.
Hey Sultry, Devi, look what I found!

Arch Villain Arrested!
The notorious criminal Lady Minnie von Schneider was brought to justice by Yeti Face after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.
Sweet of you both to keep me company whilst I won.

Congratulations Yeti. You might end up facing Bela in a match this year. Sorry to say I won't be cheering you on to win, I placed my money on Bela.
Congratulations Bela on capturing your villain.
Good luck to everyone else.

Thank you Sultry, it was fun playing against you. :-) You should have put your money on me though!

Congratulations Verali! Maybe I'll get to wipe the floor with both you AND Bela next round.

That was feeling pretty tense. I look forward to a brief respite and I'm not getting sucked into your smack talk before the next round has even been announced, Yeti. (But FYI, we would both take you down).
