I've just opened my email and found something interesting: a Sluth Holiday Newsletter.

Here's the most interestng part:

"SKILL OF DUMB LUCK... YOU BE THE JUDGE!
Coming to a secret location near you... we've distributed some new rare prize drops around the broad expanse of Sleuthville. Challenge yourself to find these eye catching, uniquely colour-toned, in-game items. Be the first to display and say "that was SO easy".

Test Your Luck

I'm curious, has anyone found anything yet?

You were not the only one that was misled Miss Clifford.

When I read the newsletter, it seemed to assume that posting "it was SO easy" on the message board would be tempting people to do so...

Now, that I found odd, because the way I know the Noir people, we are a bit more mature... I can't really recall having seen a lot of "braggers" here. Besides, of course, Ctown, when he finally got his cape :-P

Anyway, there is a tiny possibility that Ben got struck by something and actually did introduce "color-toned" items in Noir. Yuck.

Oh, come on, Mr. Androctonus, wouldn't you like a nice purple magnifying glass or a pink fedora, just for a change? A touch of colour in a black-and-white world... And maybe Ctown finally finds a pretty aquamarine cape :).

I agree, SO easy doesn't sound like Noir.

"I can't really recall having seen a lot of "braggers" here. Besides, of course, Ctown, when he finally got his cape :-P"

Hey, I resemble that remark! ;-)

(And you forgot about the bragging for Secret #1) ;-)

Dec-21-2010 07:19

Oh, yea, I remember there was something about the finding of Secret #1...
- was that something found by Secret Squirrel? - or turtledove?
I can't really remember, the name seems to escape my mind... ;-)

Truth be told I am the one who found Secret #1 first. However , in the goodness of my heart, I allowed ctown to take credit for it because he loves to brag and besides he paid me an obscene amount of money ;-) hehe.

Rumors from the underground Sleuth underworld say that he paid you with a lifetime subscription on top of other benefits!

Dec-22-2010 04:09

It doesn't matter how I got it, just matters that it was ME!!!!! ;-)

Dec-22-2010 11:04

No, not a lifetime subscription unfortunately, but I'll keep it mind when I offer him the solution to Secret #3. I just know ctown won't be able to resist, hehe. Thanks for the idea VS :-)

"skill OR dumb luck" lol. My typos are gettign worse, even in official publications. And the rare drops are, as was the whole newsletter, specifically for NOIR. I have assumed since Ben hasn't mentioned it in game announcements that he has either (a) not implemented them yet or (b) just forgot :)

I suppose the only way to find out, definitely, is for someone to say they've found one of these items ;) and then equip it and 'represent'.

Good luck.

I am sure that he will give everything to her to aquire it and present it first!
