WARNING GAME SPOILER!!

If you wish to enjoy the adventure of figuring out this game on your own, DO NOT read the rest of this post.

If you are too lazy to read through a page or two of threads to see if your question has already been asked a zillion times, then PLEASE read this first!

Welcome to Sleuth, and your new addiction.  There is no cure, so just accept it and enjoy it! Here are a few tips and hints that you should find helpful, and are among the FAQ of the newbie boards.

First, a great place to FIND ANSWERS and cool history threads about Sleuth is in the Moderator Picks Board. The Mods have picked out their favorite bits and made them easy to find. In addition to personal favorites, try looking over the Newbie FAQ. This can be found on the bottom of most pages as a tiny little grey link. Also the Help file at the upper right of most screens is packed with little useful tidbits.

HOW DO I SOLVE a case? First off…we recommend that you try the tutorial found on the front of the case page. It won’t count against your daily caseload, and it will give you an idea of how the game works. It’s not set up to walk you through the most efficient course through the game, but to show you how the game works, leaving you to find your own strategy. The following formulas will help you find your murderer.

PE+Fake/"none of your business" Alibi=guilty
WE+Fake/"none of your business" Alibi=guilty
2 WE = guilty

PE=Physical Evidence WE=Witness Evidence

Having a clammed suspect that will not give you an alibi is not the same as a fake/none alibi.

PE+WE DOES NOT = Guilty

This is a great thread, but there is no way I can read the the top, all the way to the bottom!!! It's getting close to being a year old afterall... In the last few days stumbling around on my own I feel as though I've learned a lot, but this thread also filled in a few blanks.

And I just made this thread one more post longer!

You mean you don't want nearly a year of sleuthy sleuthy knowledge condensed into one E-Z to read thread? FINE then :P

Seriously, read the whole thing. I don't think theres anything anywhere in the game that is more useful to newer players.

Hey now, like I said, it is a great thread! So don't get me wrong, I do greatly appreciate having it here. It's just a lot to read, which I don't mind, but then you also have to read all the posts like this very one I'm yping now that doesn't have anything to do with how to play the game. Perhaps this thread needs a seperate "appreciation" thread and that's where people like me can post their thanks and well... appreciation for this thread =P

So bottom line, the first few pages are easy to read, but then it gets not so easy to read if that makes sense ;)

If you erase all of the needless bumps and peices from these Newbie pages it wouldn't take two hours to read. And, I would only be reading information that is useful. Delete the post and threads (like this one) that are just filled with Hot Air and condense these pages for all Newbies on the block. I still haven't found what I am looking for.

Good suggestion raven. We needed to use those bumps before we had a way to stick posts. But now they are not needed anymore. Ill try and delete some bumps from here.

What a nice bunch of people you all are! I'm an unsub newbie with a question fueled by greed. I was doing a favor, down to two suspects and no further PE/WE available. I decided to guess (wrong!) because of the lucrative possible outcome (nice gift, contact). So then (with another false accusation on my tab) I had to pay off the Shady character. My question is...

What is the Shady Character's price based on and is there a formula?

(Btw, I've sworn off accusing without knowing for sure)

Libby, Shady's prices are based on your experience level. The higher your experience level, the higher Shady's prices are. I think someone has a formula somewhere, I can't remember who--but I can tell you he gets mighty expensive, and fast. At the 6.5 million exp pts level I believe he charges something like $730,000 or more, based on a recent post by the illustrious Secret_Squirrel. Shady's prices are about 20-25% cheaper in Delhi, but of course you can only travel there when you are subscribed. Hope that helps :)
