For the cheerfully pessimistic detective!

1. Your client did it.

2. Buying Advanced Thread Analysis means that all threads immediately disappear from the crime scene.

3. The question you need answered most is the one the witness clams up on.

I'm sure more experienced players can add to the list. Care to have a go?

LOL these are all so funny, and so true, and forgive me if I am repeating but....

You have a full complement of PE contacts in your agency. One person leaves to travel, who has the ONLY barber contact...all of a sudden every case that turns up the logs has at LEAST two hairs for PE...lol

Miss Adellaide, I've had the same sort of thing happen I can't tell you how many times. It gets to be rather funny after a while.

How about playing your 3 cases (if you are unsubbed like me) and then coming back to the site to get on the message board only to find that there is a free featured mystery that you could play except for the fact that you don't have any more cases left for the day.

I thnk this is always a good post to cheer Newbies up and let them know they're not alone. Most of thr good stuff is at the start :)
Happy Sleuthing all!

You have the barber as a contact...you solve an AI with 4 threads, but not one with 3 hairs... *bangs head against computer*

A bad day for Vegos:

Turned up 2 heavy footprints on the crime scene.
Only one out of 8 suspects is slim.
3 suspects take the Shoe maker for their alibi.
The research eliminates the slim suspect.

lol I feel for you Vegos. I am looking at a screen shot I saved a couple of nights ago where I had 1 PE for the barber and 7 suspects queued up to have their hair cut. Funnier still one was Croesy (he's one of the few bald avatars around), and that's just taunting me!

This one is dedicated to my good friend Mr. Flaps...

You're on an AV hunt (in Dheli) and only need one more hint as to the Villians Hideout. Spend three grueling days solving AI cases only to get the same two hints. Then when you finally get that last hint you're one case short of moving to the next city.

Yup been there too my ole friend....

* Sits back and pours a stiff one from portable bar* Cheers ole chap

Unsubscribed so far (broke for a month then I get my first paycheck, wheee) and 3 out of 4 cases had the client turn up as the guilty party. If it happens in my 4th case too, well, I hope Murphy goes bother someone else tomorrow.

RAAARGH! Does getting 3 different handwritings on the CS count as a 'bad Murphy day'?

Not really, Vegos... it just kind of sucks.
