Just a note - does the Fortune Teller ever tell you anything useful in a consultation, or is it just a chance for tyros like me to waste $20 on his delphic ramblings??

If you have a suspect that clams up and before giving you his list of suspects/motives, you can get some added to the list by asking the non-evidence townspeople if they have heard/seen anything about the case. If they have, and the person they refer to isn't already on your list, they will be added, although you'll still have to find out their motive.

Also, it isn't the Fortune Teller that kills people off. There is always one suspect that will die after you ask him at least one question and leave. I like to make sure they survive the interview process before checking their links to PE's. :) All you have to do is click their name again, it's not Thomas's fault. :)

Oh. Well, at least my conscience is cleared. :)

I don't think you can rely on having a suspect die in every case. But sometimes it can come in handy, so I check all my suspects with fake alibis to make sure they are still alive before I start asking questions about physical evidence.

What about the option of paying the fortune teller $20 for a reading?

Does that ever actually help with a case?

(What *does* it do, anyway?)

Oh...sorry. I had searched for "fortune teller" and it didn't display all the replies (no Last>>, either)... But now I see someone had already answered!

Sorry! Ignore last post...

Thank you Kalypso for searching the message boards for an answer before asking. If only everyone had your initiative!
