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...)

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!

I had a case today in which 5 suspects said they were with the Concierge who of course, wasn't talking. Another 4 were with the Tailor, Barber and Podiatrist who were too busy processing 1 non descript thread, 1 microscopic hair, 1 footprint of a questionable nature and 1 heavy footprint with 9 possible matches. Well, you get the picture. AI at its finest!

Fifteen AI cases into the NYC section of a Villain Hunt and finally got my second unique clue! I’d gotten “Is north of 42nd street” over and over again, but now I’m happy to report that the accomplice is ALSO “North of 34th Street.”

yay.

Ugh. Frustrating day! I had to do a fish monger favor in order to get the other half of the Cairo map. Nemmy task.

After 3 days, finally a fish monger favor. Yay! right? Nope.

Guess who forgot to ask the fish monger the magic question? Yep. Me. *face palm*

Ooof! I’ve done that before DevilishWings. It’s so frustrating.

Real stinker this one. Case where the urchin shows up. Footprint, hair, note. Three suspects refer to podiatrist, two to barber. Narrowed it down to 2 suspects. Couldn't verify their alibis as podiatrist and barber already clammed up. Got witness evidence on one of the two. Two other suspects clammed on the first question.

Set up for failure is what it was.

Every time that spy glass lady comes by I feel like whacking that magnifying glass against her big ugly eye.

Yes ppl, even with a combined smart bonus of +38 it is still possible to get an unidentified piece of evidence while searching the crime scene.

I can believe this. Just as it's possible to have zero smarts and get all 4 items of PE identified.

It's been a day full of clams for me - no one is talking and the townies aren't working either.
