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

What can you do when new agents TAKE GEAR AND LOG OFF, and then DON'T LOG IN AGAIN to get your many PM's. You don't want to kick them out, because they're holding $10,000 in gear...

Besides, putting Officer/Director Only tags on the gear and only letting the people you trust use them, there is not much you can do.

Some agencies require their members to give the Director their password so if such a thing does happen the Director can log in and take back the gear.

Failing that, having two sets of smart gear helps. That way if someone does log out wit the Smart Gear, you still have a set

There's no easy answer.. just one of the risks you face when you have an agency.

I made sure to check and see that this wasn't posted here 1st, don't want to frustrate anyone... Is the faction leader just decided by who has the highest standing with the faction or are there other factors? Do you have to be a subscriber? Thanks!

Yep, whoever gets to be faction leader just depends on who has the highest standing each day at midnight (server time) no matter if you're subscribed or not :)
