A place to collect what we know about Sleuth and other useful game hints.

That's right Tz_BG, your client is guaranteed never to die because they have to pay you at the end if they're innocent, and if they were the guilty suspect, they wouldn't die by virtue of that.

That is all very true.

However, I've wasted questions on a suspect just to find out later he died. So I guess, for me, I'm a little wary and would just like anyone who's going to die to just do it and get it over with. :)

I see what you mean Tz. For me I collect all the suspects/alibis first then go back and visit them again if I need WE. Since it normally happens on the 2nd time you click the name, I find it better for myself to have the suspect just die off. That way I don't waste PE questions trying to find out if they belong to that person. That's just how I use it though.

Treschaude, I love that name, lol. Sweet!!

SS, you are SO right, UC is super helpful when you take this route. I still used it before I got UC, but it did take up a little more time, having to go back and find the person who fled. I still thought it was worth it, but the timing of the Clicks of Death was more important then. Lol. Like I had to make sure I had already asked the important questions and stuff like that.

Ahh, yes, unfortunately there is a such thing as 2 suspects w/the same first name in a case. To my great chagrin.

I see your point with the Abdels in your case having the same first name, but to be honest I think when Ben added new names for the Cairo expansion, he added some first name "pairs" like Abdel Aziz and Abdel Ghaffar.

I guess it's really a matter of semantics.

i will get the semantics skillz then b4 i go on cairo. whut faction is it plz, because i don't want to pay for my simple mistakes? and i alredy know i won't subscrube until i get there, so dont tell me about if I have to pay for this, I know I know.

Ciara. Honey.

There are no semantics skills. Serges was just talking about the different names in Cairo. That's all.

And before you can travel anywhere you do have to be subscribed.

3-legged-Tom is the best pick you can choose when you are in Shanghai. Everybody knows it...

Ok, so I have heard it whispered that your faction alignment helps you gain favors with certain townies. Especially helpful if you are looking to get a certain townie as your contact. Is there any truth to this rumor? Do your faction alignments help/hurt your chances of earning a favor with a particular townie? And if so, does anyone know which faction alignments work with which townies? I'm thinking specifically of Greyling's battle to find the Stage Manager in Shanghai. Ideas, inputs?
