It's been a gloomy night, lots of trauma and heartship in the streets...I take a look at the newspaper on my coffee break from sleuthing and my heart sinks. What do I see in the paper...

Lady Emerald Devon
Account Status: Retired

I was just chatting with her yesturday and she had intended to chase this new villain in town... I guess he got the best of her...

LED will be missed... ( I know Moira is still out there but it's the concept)

Once again, thank you very much, the response has been ovewhelming and really touched me. Obviously not in my special place, that's for Blue :D

What happened was that I never knew that there could be more than 3 WE / case. They say you learn something new everyday and that is what I learnt. It was just bad luck that I learnt that on top of 2 FAs! :D And remember folks, pay him or be veeerrrrrrryyyyyyveeeeeeeerrrryyyyy careful!

I'd like to take this oppotunity to thank cfm for organising the effort to get LRC to where LED was and to everyone whom has been so kind, loving and caring in offering their help.

huh? more than 3 we/case? Could you please explain that? Is this something that is only in the Arch Villain hunts? or is this something that can happen with the regular randoms? I have not yet run across this and I hate having to accuse with only witness evidence as it is. Now you've got me really nervous.

Be nervous Della, it's why I am retied. There can be more than 3 W.E statements in case.
I accused on this assumption like a big silly ass :)

I just now am reading this. Leddy, I am so VERY sorry to hear about your detectives retirement!!!! Im going to miss seeing Lady Emerald Devon pop up in PM's *sigh* We still have YOU tho, and I know that you will get LRC to where LED was :o))) You may not be able to use LED anymore, but you will always be Leddy to me :o)))) Love ya, and big hugs!!!

I just saw this also. So sorry to hear what happened LED! You've been very involved in the community and I'm so happy to see that people are organizing support for you! If there's anything I can do, please let me know. :)

*thinks emeralds are nice, but rubies are LOVELY*

seems we have a problem... LRCcie sounds too "lurky" to be your new nickname, Moira.

Henceforth, forthwith, hitherto, et cetera, I, as acting emperor of unofficial sleuth nicknames (self-elected), hereby declare that Lady Ruby Caplan shall from this day forward be known as...

Leddie.

Rock on, sister. I've totally got your back.

Shoot, I should have posted about this when testing the townies' evidence about a month ago then - but yep, there can be more than 3 witnesses giving evidence on a case, but it's still only 2 for the one with the false alibi and 1 against the others who'll all have real alibis - sorry :'(

My sister passed on the sad news to me, being as I've not played for a while. Decided to log on today before starting work to also express my regret at the loss of the delectable LED. At least Ruby exists and is up and running. I've never "guessed" at a case since the last one cost me $1M to clear off, although that wasn't a guess, it was a case of automatic pilot taking over and clicking on accuse and yes, without realising what I was doing, then ... yarghhh!!! what have I done!!!

oh leddie, i'll miss you so. but i know you're in a better place with the gold lame swimsuits, never ending bridge games, bottomless margaritas and did I mention the Cabana Boys!?
