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...)

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 : )

* typo "hunt" not "hint".

My parrot matured. I guess I can cook him now.

Got a case with the urchin that was in all honesty not meant to be solved.

AI level case with 2 threads, 1 hair, 1 footprint. Four (!) suspects refer to tailor for alibi. One suspect refers to barber. One suspect refers to podiatrist. Barber clams after 1st question.

Later it turned out that the hair belonged to the guilty party. How is this supposed to be solvable on your own?

Sounds like one of my normal everyday cases, Cro. Glad I'm not alone in getting these hands. You have my sympathy. The Gods of Sleuth are cruel!
