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...)

Haha, thank you Shelby. And Kachenka, I've had that experience too - the Barber and Bartender being right beside each other on the accuse list isn't helpful!

Did anyone ever get 2 urchin cases in a row?

Oct-28-2020 01:23

Yes that happened to me once. I flunked the first case (there were so many suspects needing the same person for both alibis and PE), and was delighted when my very next case was also from the urchin. Solved that one. Also I've sometimes had two cases in one day (or maybe it was my alt). You do a fairly easy task for the clue (e.g. help someone with chores) then a few cases later meet the urchin again.

It's nice when it happens but it's rare.

Got an urchin case today. Determined that the slim footprint was the decisive piece of evidence. Five suspects were slim. Podiatrist clams up with very 1st question. The one suspect that supposedly knew who did it actually knew nothing. Case unsolvable and waste of time.

And ... here also the case that followed was an urchin case which was considerably easier to solve. So this happened to me two times in quick succession now. Strange, almost like the game autocorrects.

Wow, sounds like a good Sleuth day for you!

yay, just got myself the waitress on the Sleuthetania as a contact. The most boring, unexotic contact possible. And I happen to collect them :)

At least you'll never go hungry!

Okay, I get it, the hideout IS WEST of the tailor's!! I don't need to hear it ten times, I swear I've written it down!

Aw, you'll get out the rut at some point!

Re-joined after watching a noir film and reminiscing about the site. Wanted to start over with a new name. Excited to be back. Hopefully I'll last longer than I did last time! Onto contact building efforts in NY.
