With the firm application of bolt cutters the rusty padlock on the gates of the Boardwalk has been prised off. For a small fee at the ticket booth Detectives can take some down time to wander around the Boardwalk.

Whilst familiarising yourselves with the layout is a great idea, the real meat of the Boardwalk is the Carousel Furore; the times for these are listed on the case tab. The main way to get tickets is by solving cases at Really Really Hard or above in difficulty (the higher the difficulty, the better your chances). Your best chances of getting a ticket are an hour before a Furore is due to start, but if the tickets are gone they're gone.

Finally there is a second type of ticket; a back-up ticket. They will not be hard to find.

Happy sleuthing, and as ever please let me know when the bugs crop up and I'll deal with them ASAP.

I absolutely don't want to steal anyone's joy! Yes I understand they're not quite for everyone.

It's not in game yet, but I've created a compromise for those who truly hate them but still want to do Furores where they become significantly easier to solve after an hour passes. For those times when trading and stealing just isn't cutting it.

I got kicked out at the very beginning and yes I did hand over my ticket. It's very disappointing :-(

I have made a solution for that, but once again it's not quite in the game yet. There's quite a lot of small bugs and adjustments and I want to get them all at once.

After one of my trades was accepted by a player, another player was able to make the same trade from me, even though it was no longer there.

It's been a long time coming, but the bug fix and adjustments patch has arrived! Tyrano and Keira, your trade problems are probably still about. Please let me know if they happen again with as much detail as possible (particularly if an AI was involved).

Significant bug fixes:

* Players who have had problems with Furores kicking them out instead of letting them start should no longer have this problem.

* The Mirror Clues should be displayed properly on the case page.


Significant adjustments:

* There'll now be eight Furores a day, but players are limited to two tickets.

* There's a Furore schedule in the City Hall, so they can be viewed anywhere except Shangri-La.

* An accessory can now be stored almost entirely without complaint with Jonny the cotton candy seller.

* After 40 minutes the Hall of Mirrors will become significantly easier to solve.

* Any players engaging in espionage will now find there's a delay between uses.

* Clues will immediately re-drop after a player finishes the Furore.

* The 'community clue' locations, i.e. the helter skelter, cinema and telescope will potentially change clues with a clue drop, making them worth revisiting.

* It's now only possible to gain one clue at a time from the roller coaster (though you will still have up to three chances to get that one clue).

* If you're the last player standing the big wheel and roller coaster queues will disappear.

* A badly written Furore read me has appeared.

* Furore ticket offers can be turned off from the Options menu on the Detective Page.

As ever please let me know if you spot any bugs/typos. There's good odds I'll be hanging out in chat whilst Furores are going on for the near future, so feel free to drop in there if there's any problems.

Can't wait to play again if I'm ever able to finish this darned Nemesis task...
