OK so yes, I am aware of a spate of bugs. Really my inbox tells me so every day.

The main one that seems to be grabbing a range of people is where you try to solve a case (usually a favour) and you get booted to the error screen.

** Your only option at this point is to QUIT. **

That's unacceptable, I know and understand that.

I can only give you the somewhat well-worn phrase 'Ben's working on it'.

There are other minor things that are happening with Nemesis that don't really seem to be too game-changing, except to say:

* Beef Flaps is roaming Sleuthville in neverending circles trying to find an HOURGLASS. If anyone is also having this problem, or they have gotten past this mission please let me know, or Beef Flaps.

* there 'might' be a problem boarding the Sleuthetania. It gets used so rarely that it's hard to know if this is wide-spread or user-based just from bug reports.

I apologise (for what that's worth from someone who has no control over fixing stuff) for the inconvenience this is causing subscribers.

I will endeavour to harrass the appropriate code monkeys.

Secret? Sleuth Admin? Any feedback on the recent bugs and once again the missing items from my equipment locker? It has been over a week now and still no response or anything.

I've already solved my puzzle box, but I just had an AI case where my contacts were blocked off as if my nemesis had interfered. I solved it, but it didn't give me anything besides the usual reward. I'm on the ship right now, if that helps.

Yesterday, I tried to use my nemesis hunt reward on my Fennec Fox and got this message:

So I just noticed that SS is now unsubscribed and hasn't been on in over a week. Ben is also a no show? What is happening to this place? Has it officially fallen apart?

I wouldn't hit the Panic Button just yet, Beef. ;-)

Ben has a habit of being truant (ie.--not being around for a few days, then suddenly appearing out of the blue), for as long as I've been here. It means diddly. He'll show up in a day or two, sunglasses and fez in tow.

As for Squirrel, again, don't panic. He's been dealing with the schlock from Noir and Shades for a couple years now, and was an Editor and Moderator for several more years before that. It gets tiring to constantly have to deal with people's complaints, harangues, and petty arguements. So all us old fogeys take a few days off from time to time to decompress. He'll show up shortly, macadamias at the ready. As for the unsubbed thing, I woke up yesterday and signed on here to find out I was unsubbed too. Surprised the hell outta me. So I reupped and went on with business. No problemo. He'll do the same when he gets back from whatever coconut tree he's been climbing. ;-)

When they haven't been around on either Shades or Noir in more than a month, I'd say it's time to send out the Coast Guard. But. If you're REALLLLY concerned, the Subscriber Center has a number that you can reach Admin at and find out what's going on. It's (U.S.) (206) 788-7515. I'd suggest calling it in about 9 or 10 hours from now, because you'll wake the baby right now (it's a Seattle, Washington, USA number), and prob'ly make both Ben and Sunny a tad cranky. But there is that option. ;-)

Hope that helps a bit, perhaps?? ;-)

I really do think they'll be back in a day or two. But thanks for caring and worrying. ;-)

Thanks Breitkat, but I'm not calling about something lost in my equipment locker. These issues just shouldn't take 2+ weeks to get a response on. I'm seeing why so many of the veterans have packed up and called it quits over the past few months. My subscription is coming to an end soon as well, and I'll be doing the same thing. As much fun as this place used to be, it's just lost that enjoyment.

I agree with you 100% Beef Flaps. I understand that Ben has more pressing things to worry about and Sleuth isn't really a huge money maker for him, it's more of a hobby, but that's not an excuse for poor customer service. I've made my feelings known about that on more than one occassion
