I just got this in a PM.

Shady's Quote for da week:

"A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies. "

Oscar Wilde.

The sender's name was Shady. I immediately went to City Hall to check who it was from. It turns out that "Detective Shady" has a very old, very neglected licence of his own.

Which is kinda odd, given he's sending PMs - why do we need to be around to read them then and there? Why couldn't he just be sending us a mysterious note?

Sigh. There are things about this game and time zones that are occasionally frustrating.

I has been readin' up on the likes of youse what has got literary pursoots. Wordy aint youse all.

Me I like my writin' to be pithy-like: "Pay up while youse still has yer kneecaps, yer bum", and the like.

Still this fella, Jules Renard, once said:

"Writing is a way of talking without being interrupted."

and Shady can't argue with dat.

Let's hear it for Shady's appearance!

'Molotov' Parkowitz aint got a trace of hair on his head. Says one night a pal of his, for a lark mind you, laid down some glue on his 'tools of da trade'. Reckons one moment he was lobbin' one of his callin' cards in through some schleps front window and da next he's wakin up in da hospital wrapped up like King Tut. Heck of a lark...

S'kinda funny, coz Shady heard recently dat:

“Discretion is being able to raise your eyebrow instead of your voice.”

Guessin whoever said dat never met ol' Molotov

Can anyone give me a small hint as to whether we're supposed to be doing anything about these quotes, other than soaking up the wisdom?

If you PM Shady, he might tell you. In my opinion it is either just what it looks like or it is the way to a secret 3 or a promotion to moderator or a new faction or something bigger. Read the first letters of the words perhaps. Read it backwards. JUST FIND OUT!!!

Hehe I love conspiracy theories. I think it's highly unlikely to be the mod idea though, given how it's normally done.

Love the thought of it being secret number 3 that would be fun :)

Shady dips his lid to Ms Riza Hawkeye, a crafty broad who has taken the kudos as Sleuthville's resident Survivor.

Mind youse it reminds Shady of what his dear ol' mudda always taught him.

“Don't worry about life, you're not going to survive it anyway.”

Heck of a thing to hear as a bed-time story I admits, but I can't say I has ever forgot.

My respect to you and yours.

Shady.
