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...)

Congratulations to efftee on solving his 100th case :D

Aw shucks, thanks!!! (only took me 2813 days! :P)

Baby steps efftee, baby steps :)

Congrats efftee!

Btw, has anyone had any favors from the Waiter in London recently? Ever since I came back I've been trying to get a favor with him for my Nemmy hunt, and as far as I can remember I had been trying to do that for a long while before I stopped playing too. It's getting annoying.

Seems ages since I was in London, so I’m afraid I can’t help with the Waiter favor.

Was sleuthing on my phone and fell asleep last night with a freshly opened IH favor. Apparently I clicked the accuse link instead of the alibi on the starter suspect just before sleep took me. Thankfully the game asks to confirm the accusation - and I groggily misclicked again and DID JUST THAT upon waking around 4am. Plot twist: he was actually guilty! I feel like I dodged a Super Mario Brothers sized bullet there.

Pretty shitty sleuth day so far. I had to quit a favor case, I had to store a couple of cases for help with PE contacts and my surveillance didn't work at all.

I guess those are the days the game likes to remind you how good it is to be in an agency. Team build-up and all that I guess.

We are tiny little atoms that are part of a bigger whole. Wise lessons of life.

Can't believe I caught my Arch Villain in just one day. The hunt included 3 one-clue solutions - albeit one came after getting a couple of other clues. Started in London yesterday, did Delhi, NYC and Shanghai today.

Oh if only it were always like this!

Kalinka, that is an outstanding achievement. Congratulations!!

You share that achievement with only one other detective - Riza Hawkeye.

Celebration at the your local bar for Kalinka. Drinks are the house!

I should have checked things out before I posted. I see now you opened your hunt yesterday and completed it today. Still a great achievement, Kalinka, and yeah, I wish they could all go so smoothly. :)

But Riza Hawkeye still holds the record for being the ONLY detective in Sleuth to complete an AVH in one day - meaning she opened and finished a hunt on the same day.

Ah I misunderstood the "one day" thing. I meant a 24-hour hunt (started one day finished the next). Yes, I can see it might have been interpreted as starting and finishing a hint on the same calendar date.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. But it was still a nice quick hunt - and the drinks are on me anyway : )
