Are we waiting on the Final Solution before discussion?
Are we waiting on the Final Solution before discussion?
feel free to discuss, ask questions, or shit all over me for subjecting y'all to this case. just remember I had to do it myself and it took many more turns for me to figure out there wasn't a clear case before deciding to attempt to solve it.
I'm writing up some questions now. I don't blame you. To be fair, we would have taken many more turns if we weren't already feeling guilty about dragging the case over several days. The answers to the essential questions are totally unsatisfying.
Also dv7 you are the man for writing all of this out. Geez a lot of work
But I can also see the benefit of having the directory in front of you when playing. I felt bad askign you directory questions
Agree
I also to be honest just stopped because I didnt realize I wasnt racing Sherlock (which is my fault) but I was so tired of running in circles I couldnt take it anymore
you had quite the mixture of great clue points and utter dead ends that you already knew

Another quirk in these games is that you have a guy like a lawyer or something. So you can go to his home or his office. Sometimes he is at his office and sometimes he is at his home. If you go to the one he isn't at, then you are directed to the other.
I've started to only count that as one move (but forced move to the other location). No way that should count as two moves.
Hasn't happened in these cases, but I've seen it in other versions of this game. That always annoyed me.
I'm also kind of annoyed that we spent all this time sorting motive, timeline, movements, etc. for the answer to the "why?" question to just be "revenge." Duh!
Happened with our investigation of the Nanny in the last case -- you just told us to move again. Directing us to the children's room automatically would have been too much.
I wish you'd done that in this case with our final Scotland Yard investigation: we wanted to talk to the cop who had the pouch, but we didn't know that the Lambeth Police Station was a thing!
On that same note, how did you know:
to go to the Lambeth Police Station?
to go to the Thames Steamboat Company? We didn't see this referenced in any of the investigations you did prior
to go to St. Barts in Turn 8 (since there wasn't yet a body or a murder)?
lol
to be fair, a lot of the times in Holmes' stories the most obvious reason for a crime is the correct one
Robert E Lee from Georgia? WTF
Then her having different names at the hotel. The letters confirmed that they were lovers and since Fahmi was dead.... Q1 and Q2 were obvious to me once I saw them.
