I was doing a Stupendous level mystery, and they are supposed to have 6 suspects. I had 9 in total and knew which 3 had real alibis. I got a piece of witness evidence for 1 of the others and accused him and it said he had an alibi! Now I've got 2 false acusations and its $14000 to clear them =(

I asked the fortune teller and he said I had everybody.

I've had it happen. You can't trust that it'll always be the usual number of false or good alibis. It's not common, but it does happen that you'll get one like that. Since then I try to make sure I check ALL alibis. And Shady was definitely NOT sympathetic. *shudders*

Also remember your formula:

Liar/none + PE = guilty
Liar/none + WE = guilty
WE + WE = guilty

That is what you could have done differently. Once you had WE against someone try to find that second WE to confirm before accusing.

WE + clam DOES NOT equal guilty

*laughs* Ran, you're adorable. :)

It's gone from:
"And remember, if you subscribe, your agency can help you "
to:
"Also remember your formula."

Two great pieces of Newbie Advice, I like it!

This is very important...helps keep those FA's away.

"Liar/none + PE = guilty
Liar/none + WE = guilty
WE + WE = guilty"

I know the formulae, I just assumed that the number of suspects was constant and took it as a given with the number of true alibis, that the person I accused had a false one. I'll just have to double check first next time.

You got one WE but I have the PE+WE. I fail to get the alibi as she clammed up. The murder is other person out of list. I now know the use of fortune teller. But how if no one mention the other suspect? Everyone clammed up and my skill was not enough.

PE+WE does not equal guilty. If you can't get an alibi, nor a second witness, you are taking a gamble. Unless you get satisfy one of the formula requirments, it's much better to quit the case.
