Problem Sleuth

**Andrew** · 03-10-2008, 12:34 AM

I'm giving MS Paint Adventures another go. I was sort of sick to death of bards, so now it is a quest about a sleuth.

I will probably wait until I have a few pages up before I blab about this publicly, so you guys will be called upon to populate this quest with new events.

I'll post things as they go here for a bit, but please do drop your suggestions in the official suggestion box.

You are one of the top Problem Sleuths in the city. Solicitations for your service are numerous in quantity. Compensation, adaquate. It is a balmy summer evening. You are feeling particularly hard boiled tonight.

What will you do?

**Marty McFly** · 03-10-2008, 12:40 AM

Call some Private Eyes friends to play Russian Roulette.

**Andrew** · 03-10-2008, 12:43 AM

Suggestion box it!

**Marty McFly** · 03-10-2008, 12:44 AM

Done!

**TheBog** · 03-10-2008, 11:03 AM

... What suggestion box?

**Andrew** · 03-10-2008, 01:04 PM

Here's a clue.

Quickly retrieve arms from safe.

You've already got arms, numbnuts!

Retrieve your gun, there are dames to be rescued!

You are quite positive there has never been a gun in your office, and never will be. Frankly, the notion strikes you are reckless and foolhardy.

**Manny C** · 03-10-2008, 02:41 PM

more like the notion strikes you AS reckless, if you ask me

**Andrew** · 03-10-2008, 03:15 PM

Nobody asked you!

Or should I say areked you!

I guess I'll fix it!

**Forbe!** · 03-10-2008, 03:42 PM

This makes me 50 kinds of happy.

These MS Paint Adventures are like a house of cards made from a pack of lies.

You're one bitter motherfucker, you know that?

Lets go get a beer.

Break through glass with fist to unlock door.

You don't know why you are assuming the door will be locked. You don't usually keep the door to your office locked. Nonetheless, a guy this hard boiled doesn't go messing around with totally unmanly things like knobs.

You send your meaty fist glass-ward.

Thud.

It seems there never was a glass element to the door. It was just a piece of paper taped to it.

**Andrew** · 03-10-2008, 08:58 PM

Take the piece of paper.

The PIECE OF PAPER was added to your inventory.

Manhandle the door knob, there are dames to be rescued!

The door is locked!! Funny, you don't remember locking it.

**Andrew** · 03-10-2008, 09:21 PM

Call the royal locksmith!

The most plainly obvious course of action is to call a locksmith. You examine the phone. While it appears to be hooked up to an active phone line, the rotary dial and receiver cord are both missing. You won't be talking to anyone on this phone!

Ok, I guess I'll stop posting in this thread soon since it's getting pretty redundant!

**Marty McFly** · 03-10-2008, 09:29 PM

I dunno, I prefer when it's posted on the fora instead of that webpage. But then again, maybe I'm the only weirdo who likes it that way.

**Flit** · 03-10-2008, 10:08 PM

No, I also think it's awkward to go to a separate thing. This came up last time too!

But ms paint adventures in any form is a swell thing.

**Andrew** · 03-10-2008, 10:26 PM

If I were in your shoes, I'm sure I'd prefer to casually scroll through a forum thread to read it.

But consider that the content is now groomed for the public "at large", whatever that means. This forum only has a few dozen readers.

While on occasion I delight in entertaining you people privately and exclusively, there are limits to even my overwhelming capacity for benefaction!

Double-posting into this thread wasn't meant as a courtesy so much as a way to jump start the new adventure. And now that said start has been jumped, persisting with the task would be time-consuming and tautological!

This can remain as a thread in which to converse about the ongoing adventures though, should the need arise.

**Betelgeuse** · 03-10-2008, 10:27 PM

Yeah I think after going to the immense trouble of posting it on the website, you should also go to the trouble of posting it here because LAAAAAZIES reside here!

**Benjamin** · 03-10-2008, 11:36 PM

If you stop posting it in this thread I'll probably lose interest, I've also resolved not to give any suggestions since they require such a monumental effort to submit.

**Betelgeuse** · 03-10-2008, 11:51 PM

Actually Andrew could you print them out and hold them in front of my face while I lounge in bed, and maybe bring me some chips while you're at it?

**derbesy** · 03-11-2008, 03:34 AM

having my suggestion used was pretty much the high point of my life until a few minutes ago when i made cinnamon toast.

**liquidMountain** · 02-11-2012, 12:48 AM

So I searched for Andrew's threads and found this. This should really be archived I guess.

**williamcll** · 02-11-2012, 04:05 AM

Amazing bumping bro.

**ardentApathy** · 02-11-2012, 04:11 AM

This is the most epic necro ever.

Both in terms of the timespan involved, as well as what was necro'd.

I say we keep this thread alive as a Problem Sleuth discussion thread. Who's with me?
