I can't be the only person who loathes scripted mysteries, right?

I wanted to do them for the experience points and for something a little different, but I always get them wrong. Always. I feel like it's usually a pretty far jump from what you get from the story to actually accusing someone.

And this is just on intermediate. Am I missing something here? What are your opinions? How do you tackle the challenge? Should I read more mystery novels? lol

That is very true Squirrel, that is very true. But that's why I'm making the guides, for those people who get confused by a scripted mystery. I feel that somewhere, there should be a FAQ about what Scripted Mysteries are, how they differ from regular cases and well, now with my guides being published online, there shouldn't be that much trouble on the matter ;)

In regards to previous comment, wasn't fully awake apparently - https://noir.playsleuth.com/help/featured.html

There's already a FAQ with the stuff I described ;)

I have also played (almost) all of them and would be happy to be of assistance. I know who all the guilty suspects are :)

Just giving you all a small status update; I've subbed again and I've written two new guides for the website. An Unconscious Murder / Murder in Manhattan are now documented properly ;)

Another update for you all; all the SM guides for New York have been written. Tomorrow, I'll travel towards London ;)

It's your favorite mystery guide writer again; just with another update.

Thanks to the efforts of Shell Marple, we now have 17 working Scripted Mystery guides listed at http://msn4655.wixsite.com/shaded-legends/scripted-mysteries . Shell is currently in the progress of adding 8 more ;)

Good morning everyone - off to London, to start with Miss Village's Fate today ;)

Shell Marple has been so kind as to add the 8 mysteries I had written yesterday and the day before yesterday, so there's now 25 mysteries listed on the site.

Also, the link for The Bejeweled Songbird is currently not working, but I have informed Miss Marple about it :) - so stay tuned for more!

Hello, hello everyone. A status update is in order again. So far, Miss Village's Fate, Dead by Dessert and New Year's Misfortune have been fully documented. I'm currently halfway through Doomsayer part II: The Killers, so tomorrow, I'll hopefully finish that :)
