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...)

Shades of Mystery no longer exists.

I’m going to miss Shades of Mystery then.

Right now when I have to clear the debt of $50,000 for some dumb townie with a gambling addiction my pet decides to get sick also.

I'll tell you this Sleuth Gods, if my detective retires I won't revive and start from scratch.

And then to top it off, I paid $50k for that lam e townie so I could get an utterly useless clue for my nemmy hunt.

Always a blast from the past on the Sleuthetania and those avatars from yore.

A villain hunt loaded with repeat clues is like walking a dusty road in the blistering heat of the sun with dried lips and no water.

My first day today! All is going well. I will now make sure to never miss more than 1 birthday for all my acquaintances, since 2 birthdays missed in a row is enough to have legal problems! ;)

Second day. Easier cases started to give nothing but money, so I tried my hands at hard and very hard cases.

Witnesses clamp up much quicker and my natural charms do not work as effectively. Should I start to flirt more? Should I instead find better arguments? Maybe that popular book "How to make friends" will be helpful…

I got greedy. I really wanted the money and those sweet detective points… anyway I did my first false accusation today. Did not feel proud. Bourbon will help to numb my feelings.

Third day in paradise. I suppose that book about friends is useful after all. I can get shop employees to open to me easily. But suspects are still clamming up so quickly. When a jail sentence is on the horizon, people tend to shut up even if they know they did nothing wrong.

Summer heat is near. Air conditioning bills will be high this year. I better get on the road and make some more money.
