Ahoy!

The USS Sleuthetania expansion will be ready at 6pm MDT tomorrow (Saturday 6/14). The ship will stay docked in New York from that time until Sunday night, after which she will set sail on her maiden voyage.

Once aboard, you're committed to staying on the ship for three days of travel time (counting from the time she leaves port). So, make sure to pack an extra pair of socks!

Just asking, where will I find the Sleuthetania at the map?

@ Bing : Click the Docks icon on the map (lower left) when the time comes.

I don't know how the ship is designed (and is what I am about to say is of no point) but it would be a good idea that unsubscribed players could use the sleuthetania too;)

That way , the could travel to other cities , get more contacts , but won't get any other benefit.

Anyway, looking forward for the ocean breeze :D:D:D:D

lol, malaysia time zone is 6pm now, but its only 4 am (Sleuth Time), that means there's still lots of time till Sleuthania Ship starts moving. btw Ben, do we need to cover all contacts first before we go on board? coz I only have 2 WE contacts...

Will we be able to play our cases on board or do we play through our cases for the day beforehand?

The way I read what Ben wrote it seems like you don't need to get on until tomorrow night and once you are on you can't get off?

I'll probably get on tonight anyway out of curiosity.

Alright, she's in New York harbor now!

Sorry, there's no help file yet. The way this works is, you will usually have a full day to board when the Sleuthetania is in port (New York or Shanghai). It then takes two full days for the trip to be made, during which nobody can get on or off. After that, everybody on board will be dropped off in the next port of call, where the ship will stay for another full day.

Since we're getting a late start today, the ship won't sail until tomorrow at midnight (between Sunday and Monday). After that we'll be on the regular schedule. So, if you want to be on the maiden voyage, get on tonight or tomorrow.

You can play cases, explore the ship, and enjoy " Murder on Sleuthetania", the fantastic new Featured Mystery written by Rosamund Clifford & Secret_Squirrel and edited by Anikka. They put a ton of work into it and it's a fantastic read (thanks to you twos).

You'll notice there are still a couple areas of the ship under construction, so there is not a lot of deeper gameplay there yet. But, there are new items to collect and people to meet. We should have a bit more in there by the next voyage.

Thanks everybody! And thanks for all the wonderful feedback and input everybody gave on this project. This really was a completely player driven expansion. Everything from the initial concept, to the townie names to the details came from you. Round of applause.
