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...)

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?

Damn, I need a favor from the waiter in Delhi to retrieve a relic.

I had that exact one (down to the townie) on my last quest.

The perfect dilemma. For two days I've been waiting for a case where I could accept a bribe to move on with my nemmy task. Today that case arrived. It was a favor for the Barber But I needed that townie to proceed in the treasure hunt also. Don't tell me these things are coincidences.
