I am happy to announce that the latest expansion to Sleuth: Noir, the Nemesis Hunt, is officially live as of 23:00 server time on September 9th, 2012. That is a full hour AHEAD of the scheduled update time, so first off let me start by thanking Ben for everything he has done to enable this expansion from day 1. He has been very open and supportive in this endeavor, and none of this could have been done without him. So thank you, Ben.

Now, on to the good stuff... how do nemesis hunts work?

If you have captured 3 or more Arch-Villains (10 starting October 1st), you are able to start a Nemesis Hunt. The first step is to head to Shangri-La and talk to the Prince.

...and that is the only step I will give you.

Good luck everyone! There is a special achievement on the line for the first person to capture a Nemesis, so get to it...

I think that in the spirit of the community, things like supposing anyone leaped or advanced in their hunt using a glitch shouldn't be written in a public space, since it can be interpretated as an inflammatory post.

That said, I'm sure everyone appreciate that Eden Zweig reported the bug, but I believe that every person I know is incapable of exploiting a glitch, so dismissing the hard work of anyone as cheating is ludicrous.

I hope we can hear soon the opinion of our administrators.

Just relax folks. I'm sure we trust each other enough to be able to be big kids and just play the game in the spirit it's meant to be played in whilst Serges & Ben fix the glitch.

And there is absolutely no reason to assume that because someone is X missions into a hunt that they have exploited anything.

Only people really thus far who really experienced the glitch are Eden by accident, and VS for err 'testing purposes' lol.

And certainly *not* Corelli or a host of other players I spot-checked.

So please don't spoil anyone's VERY hard slog by accidentally or unwittingly casting a shadow on their progress.

Thanks to everyone who has given Serges and Ben a lot of feedback about this rather messy glitch.

It's much appreciated.

Squirrel out.

People are just overly sensitive. Again, people need to remember something here...it's a game. Who cares!? Just play it and enjoy it. Bugs will come and go.

Pending upload to the game server, the glitch wherein one could receive multiple townie missions from a single case has been tracked down and appears to be fixed.

Serges, will you posting about the other thing any time soon? I mean the clues: I still have 7 clues in the city hall accounts but it should be 5. I mean the matrix has to be reconstructed so as to render any 2 of the 7 clues useless, I suppose?

And, in addition to that I have 1 freely gained clue in Shangai. I haven't received it so that "get the clue" prompt can be removed, somehow I suppose.

PS

Andrew and the following posters: There's nothing overlysensitive or unwitting. No accusation was made or implied whatsoever.

BECAUSE

"It is subject to exploitation" by no means conveys that somebody has already exploited it. It doesn't even mean that the potential exploits would be intentional. But if it went on like that it definitely would be more problematic.

Think of me as an example: I would have been exploiting the thing myself if I hadn't checked my detective page and realized I had more clues and tasks etc. I'd talk to myself "uh you forgot it again, you must have solved a nemesis case" lol

That aside, yes, cheaters too can exist even on Noir, is it so weird to think they can? lol They are everywhere; why Noir should be an exception? Saying that cheaters can potentially exist, that it is mathematically(lol) possible has no implications or bearing on any particular individual player, has it?

That’s very well summarised Eden. Sadly though, you can never stop some people taking offence even when there is clearly none intended. Anyhow, everything seems to be in hand now so …….

Not forgetting that the very existence of nemesis hunts is to be cheered. Something new and exciting in Noir :) The fact that this run could be viewed as a further testing period doesn’t take away from that.

I like to think we're a community and we have think the best of people. I'm not saying Noir doesn't have cheaters, I'm saying that why we should start posting things that cast doubts over anyone?

If I say we have a wolf around here, even if we don't have one, people eventually would believe we really have one and anyone suspicious would be labeled as wolf. That's my point.

It's just that no-one actually said 'there is a wolf', Andrew. You must have inferred it somehow. But it is nice that you are looking out for us all :) Happy sleuthing.

Summer: Oh yes :) You know, the Nemesis hunt was also my Sleuthy Dream so when I read Serges' announcement my eyes bulged out of their sockets in SHM and my tongue dropped and there were hearts blinking in my eyes haha (I should stop watching animes) However the hunt proceeded I'd still be cheering.

Andrew: I get your point and I thank you for taking the time to explain it. That is very kind of you. I will keep what you said in mind.
