Have you just had your best day of Sleuthing ever? Solved your first AI case? Got your last contact? Picked up your first treasure? Found a spoon? Finally got into the Prince's Palace?*

This is the place to share the joy, have a 'woot' or two and be congratulated by your fellow Sleuths.

Or maybe you've just had to pay Shady enough cash to finance a small war. Or reached screaming point with the tailor in Delhi. Or been pirated twice in a row. Or fallen into a trap three times running. You can share the woe, too, and we'll commiserate. We've probably been there too.

Me? I'm just happy that after two days' worth of 'south of the race track' I've finally got out of Shanghai :)

(* If you don't get the references, never mind. You could ask someone. Or you could just wait and see what the world of Sleuth brings you further down the line...)

Yep, I remember that one! It doesn't happen often, but it's a real bummer when it does. Sympathy!

I think it was things like that which influenced a certain decision I made. Still not sure if it was the right choice... [/crypticlady]

Hehe Cordy...me too!!

I still remember the first day that I looked at the RP - board and wish I could become one of those famous writers on that board. Little did I know that I developed myself to the writer I am these days. Of course, I may have exaggerated with the countless car crashes, the bizarre events that happened etc.

But the RP - board will always be in my heart, and I shall always take a gander to see new and old talent write new content and (if possible) join in their adventures...

And who knows, maybe one day, I'll even write my own detective book 0_0.

I have done 32 cases thus far in London, my second city of the AVH I'm on. 32. I think I have you beat Cordy, and, let me assure you, I never wanted to have that privilege.

Ouch!

I've come to the conclusion that there are beings called the Unhelpful Randomness Gnomes, which lurk in the system mystically influencing the fall of the computer 'dice' and cackling manically when you get the same clue for the 15th time. We need to poison their soup.

Maybe I should have complained earlier... First case today? Got the clue I needed. 33 cases in London. *shakes head*

I feel your pain Anais. Can't compete with your London experience but I'm feeling claustrophobic in Delhi today. Arrived there yesterday and still stuck there today with the following clues:

Not the Missionary x5
Not the Holy Man x 3
East of the Bank x 3
North of the Bank x 2

The Missionary and Holy Man clues alternated with each other over 7 cases - and I could almost hear the game database cackling. It could be a lot worse, I know, but couldn't they please just get it over with? Barber or Tailor? Tailor or Barber? And Cairo is still to come.

Summer, pm sent about your clues!

Slip of the typing finger - I did of course mean Tailor or Bartender ( not Barber)! And thanks Lady J :)

Now it's my turn to wail about Delhi. Second day in the city and I have,
West of the Chapel, 7 times
South of the Detective Shop, 5 times
South of the Bank, 5 times

Just waiting for that Man/Woman clue. Think I may still be here at the weekend. But it's nice to know that I'm not alone!
