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...)

PoP. Never fails indeed.

I'm glad if it has worked for you.

Still not working for me yet (sighs)

Had to pay another $100k to cure my pet despite never skipping a day to feed and groom him.

I've been polite about this all the time I think. So, Yeti, you shove those furores up your ass.

And it also comes at a most inopportune time not long after clearing 2 FA's.

This day is a first for me. Let me set the picture: I have (had) a furore ticket for the 17:00 game but my last case ran a little longer than I expected as there was a nemesis clue on the line. After being told I should head to Delhi for a clue and with only 30 seconds to go, I ran down the pier in Shanghai and jumped on the direct connect to the furore only to realize too late that I had missed my flight by only seconds and instead landed on a ship. Now they are telling me I can't get off for 3 days!!!!! I don't even have a room on here.

Things have become a bit clearer over these past 3 days. As I was in the midst of traveling when I mistakenly found myself on a 3 day cruise, I had absolutely lost my bearings. It turns out the reason for the whole mishap is in my rush, I forgot that I was splitting my travel in 2 mini trips and was on a layover in New York. In my rush to catch the furore, I forgot this fact, and while in any other city I would have jumped on the seaplane....in New York that option would not be there. Alas, I should be on dry land soon and it won't be a minute too soon!

A lot of favors I've had to quit lately... the sleuth Gods are against me it seems.

And it seems my luck is still going strong (or lack thereof)

Who the hell takes his pet to be groomed twice a week? Some Hollywood celeb perhaps?

I'm a bit confused ... but there seem to be a bunch of threads missing here?
