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...)

I did my first AVH recently, and it was deceptive. I had such good luck, it set me up for future hardships. Now, on my second, I've gotten what feels like 100 repeat clues, halted by pirates consecutive times, and just all-around battered by this hunt.

I give you vets credit for doing so many of these, since they are just merciless.

Bravo on your first successful AVH and no worries they aren't all bad. :-D

Once you get Hostage Negotiation it will make life somewhat easier. Repeat clues will always be a bitch though.

@Cro - do you recommend Hostage Negotiation over Trap Detection?

Aug-30-2020 09:30

Personally I would pick trap detection first. Being pirated is annoying but some nemesis tasks are damn near impossible without trap detection. I mean, I don't have the patience of trial & error to map out entire catacombs or cave systems.

But some will beg to differ ...

Oops forgot to tell ya that BadAss, Cro Magnon and Hans Landa are all yours truly :D

Aug-30-2020 10:01

i thought you could only get one or the other with those two skills?

Aug-30-2020 10:03

OH, ha ha, I had no idea you were all three! Good to know!

Aug-30-2020 14:21

Shelby, you can now unlock both, will send a PM.

Tore through a couple of days of AI cases getting increasingly frustrated at the total absence of a certain dirty urchin. While checking alibis on the last case of the day I clicked a link at the calligraphist and got a message that did NOT look like the normal alibi script. I was clicking through so fast I actually had to click back in the browser to confirm what it said. It was a nemesis clue that I had totally neglected to collect after completing the last mission. Doh!
