As you might guess I am on an Arch Villian Hunt, well after 3 cities I have had to use 56 cases including quits.

The sad part of that number is city #2 only took 8 cases (5 of them were quits).

I'm just curious if anyone else has had one worse or similar.

As they say misery loves company, so please share ~grin

lol! Perhaps a change of equipment is in order there fella!!!

I failed my first one by misunderstanding the layout of a website that I was using as a guide... I've only got on Delhi contract and I heard that Delhi was the hardest city, but I did it in 6 clues so I was buzzing. I thought I'd boxed off NY in the same day, thinking only certain clues only came up for one of the townsfolk... and failed. :(

Defintely your clothes. I gues you use charm, if I were you I'd lower my smart a lot and boost my charm, you'll be struggling as with low charm everyone will clam more often.

Guys... I was referring to the number of repeat clues... 6+ before having enough to go on =)

These clothes have worked fine for my other hunts which were not this bad, but thanks for the advice still

I haven't done many hunts but know the feeling, I can remember having to solve 12 cases before finally having enough to be able to capture

12 cases? HA I wish my bad ones were that "bad". I and I know many others have had three or more full days of cases to get the clues we needed to move on lol.

Bad! Wait till you have thread, thread and more thread. and EVERYONE"S Alibi is the Tailor! For 7 cases in a row!! and you have a Banker contact! :(
That just really makes my day. :)

Heh, when they first wheeled out the Villain Huntin' action, there were still a few bugs in the system, and a bunch of us had ones that were all glitchy. I was in Delhi for something like 75-80 cases, moaning, shuddering and sweating in the fetal position and wondering if Ben and Sunny had gone all karmic and decided to punish me for something I had done in a past life. I've offered the thong I was wearing at the time, just in case there's ever a sleuth museum or whatever, but apparently it's a violation of all kinds of stuff in the criminal code to even put NEAR a mailbox.

*snickers*

unlike a malebox...

anyways, Greyling had it waaaaay worse; like 125 cases in Delhi...

oooh, plus the GOBS of people who have FAILED hunts because they forgot that 'North' is UP, etc! Been there too :S

Greyling has the worst luck in everything, I still remember her quest for the Stage Manager contact *shudder*.

Greyling, maybe you should try offering up some undergarments to the Altar of Sleuth Gods? ;)
