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...)

Hi mysterious.

Have you had a look at the Newbie FAQ? There's a link right down at the bottom of every page.

You'll also find more useful info in the 'Newbie Questions' section of the message board. That's the place to ask about whatever's puzzling you, and we'll do our best to help.

Congrats on your three cases in a row, and happy future Sleuthing!

aaaaargh - how was my sleuth day? till now real good on my avh. just about to move to final city - had got my 5 clues in cairo and found co-conspirator but........ after i selected fortune teller the little menu thing flicked back to coffee roaster and i had already pressed the button before i realised!!! n000 after all that hard work.

i know this thread is supposed to be for expressing joy but i am just gonna hijack it anyway to express pain :(

Drop-down menu agony! I can really sympathise on that one. Sometimes your mouse is really your enemy.

No way is this thread just for the good days. It's the bad days when you really need your fellow sleuths to rally round.

(Thought: you know how you get an "are you sure you want to accuse xxxx?" on normal cases - shouldn't you get the same thing in AV hunts?)

So I finally get my 'cases quit' to a reasonable level - after a period of utterly egregious AIs (ones that I call 'Absolutely Impossible' rather than 'Almost') - and then what task does the nemesis hunt give me? That I must quit a certain number of a certain type of case (not wanting to give spoiler here) for the next clue. Now that is just perverse. My nemesis is clearly determined to have a laugh at my expense while I'm hunting him/her down!

Friday, I once lost 9 cases. 3 x 3 in a row just like you said. Noir is full of surprises ;). You can even toughen up nerves using Noir!

I should have added that my post was in relation to Friday's post on the first page. I wonder if the 9 successive case loss record will ever be broken!

Yesterday I finished my VH and unlocked my next nemisis quest both in my first case of the day! Whew! All that bad luck seems to have turned, for now...

I just had a case where every suspect clammed up even before I could get any more than 4. No one on the map helped me either. And now I have a case where I have 3 threatening notes and 4 alibis are supposedly "Banker".

Yes it's a pain when that happens Zapple. Did you try asking your witness evidence contact (music teacher) if she knew anything about the case? It might haver unlocked another suspect for you.

Plus I can see that you're a bit overloaded on Smarts gear. As a Very Smart detective you don't actually need very much of this for it to work well for you. You will still find that most, or maybe all, of your physical evidence is identified even with only a couple of Smart 'points'. However, if you swap some of it for more Charming or Tough gear (only one or the other - don't mix both types) you will find that suspects and townies are more willing to talk with you. Good luck :)
