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...)

Try helping out some townie with 50k like 3 times in a row.

RIP Cashflow 0_0

Try betting on three legged tom a couple of times 10k and watch your money drain as well... that horse just won't win, cept for when he reaches 3rd place :(

Sorry for it Zara and missy. I understand that it's so difficult to get the artifact without trap detection.

Is there a task requiring us to win with three legged tom?

Aug-29-2017 21:06

there's a task where you have to win 50k at the races

I hate the one when you have to deliver packages/return books. All the cases spent on running around like crazy :D

Yes, I guess all of the nemesis tasks mentioned so far are *expensive* - in terms of time, money or cases.

By contrast, the nicest/easiest tasks are those at the Boardwalk. I often accept a furore ticket just in case I get a Boardwalk task later. Means you don't even need to use cases to travel!

What a bad day!

I spent all my cases today and cannot get even 1 new clue in my 1st city among the AVH. Then I got an FA because of careless. :(

I can honestly say I have never been so disheartened in Sleuth as I am right now.

On 3/14/17 I got my 20th nemesis clue after finding a lost relic.

On 3/15/17 My next nemesis task was to find another lost relic:
--- 3/20/17 Map from London townie favor - Traps
--- 3/21/17 Map from Bartender in Delhi - Traps
--- 8/30/17 FINALLY got favor fm Waiter in Delhi after 5 MONTHS - TRAPS!
--- Fortune Teller in Delhi has next map

It should not be this hard for just 1 clue.

So sorry to hear it, missy. I wish I can search the catacomb for you :(

Aug-30-2017 21:59

In before, TRAPS again #ItsATrap

Nah, crossing my fingers for you Miss Snopes ;)

So sorry Missy. :( I came over here to exult in having just finished my first catacombs task with my newly found Trap Detection skill but now I just feel sad. I think there should be an option to quit a task. Sometimes you just get caught up in the dark side of random statistics.
