Has this happened to anyone? I played the game, but when I asked the suspect if guilty, I was thrown out of game, to start a new one. This game had the favor in it.I didn't get credit for the lost game, but I played & won the favor, but only got 80 pts, & 1 buy skill,(no gifts??)guess Admin. has taken that from non-subscribers, then my last case (NO.4),I asked all questions,& the Sister with an alibi told me she saw Spencer washing blood off his hands after the murder,so I accused Spencer, but I was told I falsly accused him, that it was Ada with the Alibi that killed the Victim, therefore I had to pay $3400. This is deffiently not right, don't you agree?

Hmm...I guess the main question here is, are you absolutely certain that the quilty person, Ada, had a valid alibi? That should not be possible. Are you sure that you did not, for example, make an error taking notes, and Ada did not have an alibi after all?

First I want to tell you Kitten that I really appreciate the way you take the time to assist me when I need help. You're always there to help, & not only me, so thanks!I am sorry but I typed it wrong.The deal was when I asked the Sister/with an alibi told me that she saw Spencer, washing blood off his hands,so since all other suspects had clammed up, I went with her info, but was shocked to learn Ada was guilty instead, and no he did not have any ability period.When suspects have told me in cases past that they saw them washing blood from their hands, I always thought this was pretty reliable information to accuse them on, but apparently not in this case. It's OK though. I'll keep on keeping on.

Man alive Kitten, I really didn't make sense in my response to you, plus I mis-spelled some words, & I know how you feel about that...ha! What I was trying to say was the Sister I asked if she suspected Spencer, she replied she saw him washing blood from his hands, (she had the alibi).I didn't have anymore suspects to ask because they all had clammed up on me, so I went with her information, which has always worked in past cases, however, I was told I falsly accused Spencer, & that it was Ada who was guilty, and he didn't have an alibi. Does this make more sense. I hope so. I'll check back later. Goodnight, and thanks again.

Shoot, I guess I hit the button twice. I better quit while I'm ahead. Besides this chair is getting a bit too hard, and I'm really tired from solving all these cases. People's gonna think I've lost it, ha! I'M OUTTA HERE!!

You're welcome, it doesn't really take that much to write a few replies to questions :)

First of all: it does not make any difference whether the person who gives you verbal evidence ("I saw him washing blood from his hands") has a valid alibi or not. From what you are saying it sounds like you maybe think it makes a difference. Innocent people (=those with valid alibis) cannot be trusted any more than people who have fake alibis.

One piece of verbal evidence was not enough to accuse Spencer by, if you did not know whether he had an alibi or not. In every case, there's misleading evidence floating about. However, that misleading evidence always points at people with valid alibis, which leads me to believe that Spencer actually had a valid alibi you did not know of.

Does that make sense to you? Am I understanding you right?
