I've been awake since 2:00 this morning, and with nothing better to do I've been digging around Sleuth. One of the things I noticed on the Game Information page is the game stats. As of this moment, the number of games played is 6,291,995.

Number of games quit: 430,999

Number of False Accusations: 665,479

More than 10% of all cases result in a False Accusation. (I guess there are more gamblers here at Sleuth than I thought.)

Approximately 6% of all cases are quit.

More cases result in False Accusations than in a player quitting.

Now, math is not my strong suit so if my deductions here are incorrect, please feel free to point out my inaccuracies.

Not necessarily a case of gambling. Distraction or lack of focus usually give me FAs. I got most of my FAs from playing easy cases.

Most new players don't stick around, it's a case of trying some cases, maybe getting a false accusation, then leaving forever. I'd put the quits down to the regulars, and the FAs down to newbies.

I was wondering, how long does a player have to be inactive before he's officially labeled "inactive?"

My remark about gambling was tongue-in-cheek. I have a paid Shady plenty in my Sleuth career and always due to not paying attention to my game. When I was a young detective and Shady's fees weren't so much I guessed a few times, but not in a long, looong time have I done so. :)

I'd say the opposite Yeti, FA's to regulars like me and quits to the newbies who already quit.

I think it's around 30 days, Sindy, if memory serves.

I wouldn't have thought new players would be interested in quitting cases Jintan. Just make an account, four cases. Maybe solve a couple, get a FA or two, then run out of cases and never touch it again. If regulars were racking up FAs like that everyone would be broke and retired.

I am just teasing you with my ironic sarcasm skills. Don't ask me what it means, i don't know also.

Ah, very good.

Most of my FAs come from me trying to rush through easys on a treasure hunt :(

I wonder what other random Sleuth facts we can come up with?

How many agencies have perished by now?

Too many, unfortunately. The only people who prob'ly have a chance of finding out those numbers are Ben or Sunny. And I'm not entirely sure I want to know. :-/
