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...)

Here are the suspects for that mystery. It looks Artemus was guilty.

There was one undiscovered suspect, Tilly.

Tilly did witness a verbal threat Artemus made. Also, one of the lefty notes pointed to him. Of course there was a ton of handwriting to analyze.

Thx for taking your time Ben. I'm relieved it wasn't a bug or that would be scary indeed.

Sad Ae is sad.

* Crafted the biography of this detective
* Came up with the concept of the technical file of an actual agent
* Formulated all the necessary info to write such file
* Researched a lot on how such info is actually written in real-life technical files
* Typed the biography
* Edited and re-edited
* Being satisfied with the result
* Saved the biography
* Found out that I have been logged out

Sad Ae is sad. Really.

Came across Da Xi today in Shanghai. One letter different and he'd be a perfect cab driver.

I finally escaped the personal hell that is Villain Hunting in Cairo.

Just got over the 2 mil mark. I remember how years ago, eons ago, detective R. Anstett was celebrating this very feat in the chat room. God how futile this seems now.

I have a strong urge to kick an inhabitant of Cairo under his unmentionables.
