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 totally agree with Eden. I'm sorry if you are having a problem Beef but I feel that the Nemesis Hunt is the best expansion Noir has had in a very long time, bugs and all. I'm sure that once all the bugs have fixed it will be a great pleasure to do a NH. Until then let us enjoy it as it is :-)

It is true that there doesn't seem to be much follow up on our bug reports but Serges, SS and Ben have responsibilities other than Noir so we should be patient and stop jumping down their throats and give them time. I'm sure we'll be hearing from them soon.

Turtledove, I agree that the Nemesis Hunt is the best expansion the site has had in a very long time. Unfortunately, when bugs go completely unresolved or not even acknowledged by Serges or Ben, such as the one I have now had for over a month and a half it goes beyond asking someone to be patient. The bug prevents players from even taking part in the expansion. Playing the same old same old while waiting around for a response and a resolution is not my idea of fairness.

I understand that people have other responsibilities in real life, but don't run a site or a game, add expansions, and not respond (in this public forum or through pm's) and hope that after a month and a half people will still be patient. Sorry if you disagree with my rant, but asking me to be patient and just sit on my ass waiting is unfair.

Enjoy the NH though. I am glad that at least some people can.

I hate the hourglass. I have asked for it to be removed. It's less than satisfactory you haven't at least been moved on from that mission. My hands are tied I'm not a code monkey. Did I say I hate the hourglass?

Is there any way to lure the urchin if he hasn't paid a visit in days? I know the game is random but ......

I mean we can't solve nemesis clues if we don't get the 'urchin cases' in the first place. Any tips? Does he have a particular fondness for gruel or does he prefer a clip round the ear? Or is he one of those cissy boys who likes a big warm hug and a milk shake? Let me know what works for you and I'll stock up!

I have waited 100+ cases. There's about a 5% chance depending on what city you are in to get the Urchin. I say what city you are in becuase the Urchin is a twist, and some cities have more twists than others. So in the cities with more twists the chances are higher to get the urchin to offset the competition between twists.

Squirrel are you sure chances are higher in those cities with more twists?
If you wanted to offset the competition then you'd set the event to get an urchin in every city to about equal chances anyway right? I mean if a city had 5 twists and you need 1/5 chance to get the urchin, then you'd fix the raito to offset the competition so a city with 10 twists would likely have 2 urchin cases in 10.


Well I thought it was fixed somehow from the start, however experience tells otherwise and plus, I had my urchin tell me some cities had less twists, lol! I visit that city so rarely it never even occurred to me that it had no factions!

We need a candy store in there :)

*correction: 2 urchin twists in 10 twists, cases have nothing to do with it*

I have three detectives doing Nemesis hunt, and it never occured to me that the reason for my 'luck' was that my agency is situated in the city with a candy store :). Yes, you must be right, Eden. There are also, in my experience, other ways to get the urchin soon after you completed your last mission ( 'legal' ways, not the multiple missions, I never tried that). Today it took one of my detectives two cases and the other about eight to get the urchin.
