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...)

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.

Finally that lil bastard showed up again. The urchin that is.

On my 5th day of sleuthing. Had a rollicking first few days stacking up points and skills very quickly, until I had to play beyond really hard mysteries in order to earn two points at a time. Suddenly EVERYONE was clamming up real quick, and I was spending more money than I earned on bribes. Decided to slow down and stick with really hard (or lower) mysteries for now, just so I can earn some cash, and not get too frustrated with being locked out of cases too often. Oh, also only learned on day three that I was working suspects using the base-level intimidation/sweet talk, not the adjusted level. *facepalm* The past few days have been a steep learning curve but I'm having a blast. :)

I couldn't access Shades of Mystery and went to sign up here two days ago because I just missed playing it. I have never subscribed to the game before but I just might do it for the first time in the near future.

It's day three for me and just solved an intermediate case. I think I've gotten way better vs when I playing this as a teenager (Shades of Mystery) I guess. This is my first time playing Sleuth: Noir and I'm trying to be familiar with the game interface. I hope to start learning again on properly solving cases. Never want to get a strike with the false accusations too. Nevertheless, it's been great being able to play again!

Shades of Mystery no longer exists.

I’m going to miss Shades of Mystery then.

Right now when I have to clear the debt of $50,000 for some dumb townie with a gambling addiction my pet decides to get sick also.

I'll tell you this Sleuth Gods, if my detective retires I won't revive and start from scratch.

And then to top it off, I paid $50k for that lam e townie so I could get an utterly useless clue for my nemmy hunt.
