I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks

Sure, in every single case (beyond the easiest levels at least) you get evidence pointing to innocent people as well as to the quitly party. Also, sometimes you do fail to find any evidence pointing to the guilty party.

The weird thing would be to find evicence on an innocent person

**together with no/fake alibi**

- I'm just checking, is that really what you guys have encountered?

Please excuse my disbelief. It's just that after hundreds of mysteries, I'm yet to come across this myself.

Found a case like that (I think last week)

I had 1 piece witness evidence, 1 piece physical, they didn't have an alibi, and they were innocent.

Personally, I'm not too worried about it. After awhile, you really can't expect to get every single mystery right! I may well have been sluething out of my league at the time.

As I said, give me the name of a mystery and I'll check it out.

You know what would be really nice? A counter that lets us know how many mysteries we have left for the day.

Between case files, favors, and regular cases, I sometimes lose track. Anyone else have that problem?

Oh yeah! But as I've posted before, if it's not written down, then I don't remember it. :)

Hah! Wrote it down this time!

The Terrifying Excercise of the Lost Room.

I had 1 piece of physical evidence, 1 piece of witness evidence pointing to a person, so I accused her. Turned out to be a false accusation.

And no, the witness evidence did not come from the real killer.

Oh, the alibi thing might be the kicker, though. She clammed up on the alibi, so I had none for her.

MegAmy,

Who did you falsely accuse?

May-10-2004 08:04

The female suspects were:
Jeanette, Daughter (the murderess)
Osberta, Friend (real alibi)
Ruby, Neighbor (no evidence)
Tabitha, Loan Shark (real alibi)
Cher, Lover (real alibi)

So, I don't see a bug.

*blink*

I doublechecked Osberta, and what I had on my screen was a fake alibi. Believe me, I checked that before posting something so that I didn't look like a complete moron.

Apparently not well enough though.

If a suspect clams up before they answered about their alibi, that is not considered a "none" alibi.

A "none" alibi is when a suspect replies "It's none of your business, but I don't have an alibi." And then after that, the case file will label the suspect as "Alibi: None".

Is that what is causing the confusion? The misinterpretation of what is meant by "none alibi"?

Because I have never encountered a case with the said bug ever? :)???
