How does hints work, how reliable are they? I'm my current case i have a few leads. I'm also wondering if a suspect says that he/she doesn't have any alibi it doesn't exclude them as potencial suspect right? (I'm in a hard case currently) I'm stuck, I have no more cooperation from anyone, I have received hints which I don't know how they work. My physical evidence can't be linked and I cannot bribe. What is left to do. Someone help me out thx.

If someone says something to the effect of "Not that it's any of your business, but I don't have an alibi", it's called a 'No Alibi' around here, and it's the same thing as a false or fake alibi.

As for hints, the best thing they're good for is adding on to your list of suspects when everyone else has clammed on you, and you're out of options for coming up with more suspects. The townspeople will provide 2-3 names per case, and one of those MAY be a new one that you can use to reignite your suspect-combing process with. How reliable are the hints?? That's a matter of some debate around here. In my opinion, completely UNreliable. I never rely on what the hints tell me about a particular suspect. It's rarely right, and usually doesn't offer me much help anyway.

Hope all that helps a little. ;-)

I should just re-iterate what I said in my PM when I moved the post.

*Welcome Newbies Thread - read it. Most of the stuff you're sitting there scratching your head about is spelld out there in pretty simple terms. Especially the formulas that the players use to catch a criminal.

*Newbie FAQ - read

*Tutorial - do more than once

* Also And I just remembered on the Sleuth Community Sites Page, if you visit Hunter's Academy website they have some fairly good walkthrough tutorials on the different methods of solving a case.
