How do YOU Sleuth, I ask? :O Do you memorize alibis, etc., open Notepad, or what? Personally, I open Notepad. It makes the Sleuthing process much easier for me.

That's Quicknote. I absolutely love it :) It runs off textfiles, so you can always move things around later

The dumb trick requires another extension called Rewind/Fast Forward

I'm more like skyler michaels. I pretty much memorize everything in my head for each case. If theres something I forget then I just go back and find the information. To be honest, I've always done it that way. Never used notepad or anything. Not even writing it down. Back in august 2004 when i made my first detective (now retired) I even remembered everything in my head. I've done it a lot so I'm used to remembering everything.

I killed a rainforest and a half in my early sleuthing days, but now I just memorize it.

I used to do it in my head till I had to visit shady...
Now I use notepad (yes Luniar I do, I was just away for 2 weeks so couldnt see this...)
But I dont type it in. I just double click and then use copy-paste. Then I have short cuts for all other info.
I better go check the form. Thanks for marking this as pick, dear mod.

I've got a spreadsheet I use to play Sleuth with. I've only put a few hours into it, but it helps me quite a bit. I don't want to break any rules here, so if someone could PM me with the proper etiquette for posting a link to my site with the file on it I will gladly share it with everyone.
