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?

yep. lol every case in our file is a POD case. They are there for month now. So if any of you has the POD in London and some extra time... ;)

You need one last favor to capture a treasure. You get to your last favor and its the wrong person. The first favor the next day is the correct person, but the treasure has already been captured by another agency.

lol, are these "rules" true?

Oct-19-2005 04:00

--> You click bribe instead of rule-bending/intimidation.

--> You ask someone if he/she has any suspicion against person A... and you click person B instead.

Yup, the mouse is a spawn of murphy. :D

You need one more case to get to your next favor, and you have one case left for the day, but you click the top featured mystery by mistake...

You only were able to find two suspects when things dried up. your client, who only named one other, and that one who died when you went away to change into tough gear. So you charm all the townies but the only ones who know anything about the case implicate your client, and the dead suspect!

you have two suspects to start off with. One clams up on your most important question, and the other one dies. you have no more people and nothing to go on

Jack, in that situation you can ask townspeople if they have heard anything and you might get more suspects on your list.

You move the agency to a new town because you've done everything in your old town and are fed up with not knowing what gender your suspects are from their names, and then your four directors work tirelessly to get the four contacts and it takes THREE MONTHS to get the last one!!!! and that goes for everyone in the agency! If you ever want to live in London, make friends with the barber, as he has a never ending supply of expensive hats, but will keep your secrets for ever...

Just when I have figured out who the killer is, he disappears and everyone has clammed up on me and no one will tell me where he is!

I haven't had this happen to me, but I thought of this nightmare:
First, you talk to the suspects. Most of them are apparently bivalves, because they clam up tight. Neither Interrogation or Sweet Talking work, and you have no money to bribe them with. Two of them bring up who they suspect and their alibis. You go to investigate the alibis and physical evidence. One person's alibi doesn't check out, the evidence is theirs, and both suspects suspected them. You go to their house and they're dead! Eventually everyone except your client (who has a valid alibi) is dead, and they're the Monarch of Mollusks (i.e. they've clammed up) I doubt even Holmes (the fictional one, not the member) could solve this!
