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...)

Correction: I have currently +19 charm. Without my pet dragging my stats down I would have +21 charm.

My pet gives me following stats

tough -2
smart -4
charm -2

If it were neutral all stats should be 0, right?

Yes, I did the math, and you are absolutely right. I never noticed, probably because I never let my pet(s) being sick for longer than five minutes. :) Very dissapointing, for if I remember correctly, that's contrary to what Yeti said when the pets were launched first, but then I can be wrong - again. It would be great if Ben (or Yeti, but I somehow doubt that we'll see him in the near future) could at least turn the negative stats into neutral.

I could live with neutral. That would be the same like having no pet. But negative? That's really done to make us play furores ad nauseam.

Observation: if you solve a case in which the culprit says they have no alibi chances are great that if you click on a townie for a favor the townie you click on will ask you for a favor. EXCEPT when you need that townie in a treasure hunt. Then the algorithm kicks in.

Because of all this, I decided in the past that none of my characters will ever have a pet. It would actively drive me away from the game to play something more enjoyable.

Bad. I can't find the Captain's Journal page in the ship's cargo hold. :(

Today I had to travel to Shanghai to hear from the Fishmonger what my next task is for my nemmy hunt. I also had to retrieve a book from him. Then I found out I have to retrieve an artifact and needed to do a favor the Librarian. I also had to give her the book back from the Fishmonger.

I narrowed down two suspects in a case whose names happen to be Sunny & Cher. Those of you who are old enough surely remember the singing duo Sonny & Cher?
