We made some changes to the villain hunt clues today.

Most of these changes are intended to make them easier to read, and we cleaned up a few clues that were commonly misunderstood.

The bad news is, there were a couple situations where specific co-conspirators/hideouts that were impossible to narrow down to a single option, even with all the clues.

This was my mistake, and I’m really really sorry for the frustration it has caused people. Because of the random nature of these hunts, and the length they can take to complete, these situations were difficult to detect.

The missing clues have been added for those townies, so I’m now confident there are no longer any situations where somebody should have to guess on a villain hunt, as long as they are patient enough to get all the clues.

Reading this I feel better about 5 of my first 6 clues in Dehli being the same!

I had the same thing happen in London as Hawkeye. Over 30 some cases, same four clues, finally gave up and (thankfully) guessed right. I'm pretty sure that over 6 in a row were 'west of' :p and over half total were 'west of'.

.....Back in the days when I was flying a Sopwith Camel over the Somme, many of us would describe something broken or dead as having "Gone West"

Sounds like many of my colleagues have had hunts that have "Gone West" too -

An interesting dose of serendipety, don't you think?

Ooh. Cool! There it is. Just the thread I need. I failed a hunt because of this.

And now I am about to fail another (London):

IS WEST of the tailor's.
IS NOT close enough to the river to smell it.
IS WEST of the detective shop.
IS SOUTH of the detective shop.

Can I safely say that the FT is close enough to the river while the podiatrist is not even close to it? [not only relatively, it also seems to be right along the river (don't know what to call it) only slightly farther away than the other townies along the Thames.]

I can't resist the temptation to make a choice so that I can successfully end my AVH and save more cases for today to solve. Can I safely assume that the podiatrist is the co-conspirator?

Look at one of the Maps that some of the agencies have out on their websites on the Sleuth Community Sites link, and that should help you out in debducing if you are correct or not ;)

yep and I think that even on the ordinary noir map for london it is pretty clear who is close to the river and not .. on the west side anyway. but i have heard some have this problem before. the city maps on the sleuthtips site are good too.

Thank you very much, folks! And thank you Riza I am currently dancing to Men at Work's Land Down Under and doing the haka cause that's the only Aussie dance I know, lol. The Aristotle Belphegore chase is thus brought to an end.
