Since arriving in Italy, we've... assaulted a man with a book and subsequently handcuffed him, arrested another man for 'shifty eyes and nervous movements' and then attacked another man in a factory using equipment we're likely not trained on. Let's just arrest every red-headed woman we see and I'm sure one of the will be the criminal.

Kangra posted:Let's just arrest every red-headed woman we see and I'm sure one of the will be the criminal. [78] Arrest - Clare d'Loon  You arrive in the famous Teatro dell'Opera, one of the finest concert halls in Rome. Naturally, you find Clare d'Loon inside the hall, onstage. The gorilla is with her. She is trying to teach him to play the piano. "The gig's up," you tell her. Clare sits back from the piano and sighs. "I can't get this gorilla to play anything. I did so want a partner for my next series of piano recitals." "I'm sure you'll find a piano partner in prison," you tell her. "Maybe you'll get lucky you might be sent to Sing Sing." The police take her away and you call the Chief to tell him that you've recovered the stolen gorilla and captured Clare d'Loon. "Well done," he growls. "Better head off to the score chart at the back of the book and see if you've got that promotion!" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Total Score: 36 Rank: Super Sleuth! Maybe we can even afford that new CD player. Here's a fun fact, now that we've caught Clare. The character cards in the book had a misprint! Clare's eye color was originally mis-marked as hazel, when everyone notes that they're really brown. Sadly, this isn't the only misprint I've had to correct in ACME's files. Just as sadly, Carmen and her collection of character-card-challenged crooks are still causing chaos! Tune in soon for our next case: Case 3: Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses Yearning to Breathe Free, and My Torch Back To Be Continued...

Case 3: Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses Yearning to Breathe Free, and My Torch Back The Torch From the Statue of Liberty Location: Liberty Island, in New York Harbor Background: The 152 foot high statue of Liberty Enlightening the World was designed by sculptor Fredric August Bartoldi. It was built by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, designer of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It was declared a national monument in 1924 and the site it was built on was renamed Liberty Island in 1960. To investigate this crime: Go to [74]. [74] New York City (Scene of the Crime) You've arrived in New York City, home of the Statue of Liberty and its stolen torch. You head down to Battery Park to take a ferry to the Statue. As you ride through the harbor, you pass several islands. One famous island is Ellis Island. Between 1891 and 1954, twenty million immigrants passed through the island's buildings on their way to make a new home in the United States. Now the buildings have been converted into a Museum of Immigration. Just past Ellis Island is Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty stands. Once you're on Liberty Island, you speak to the park ranger in charge. Luckily for you, he has a few leads. "Three people saw the theft," the ranger admits, handing you a list. "And before we could seal off the airport, there were three flights out of here." Should we question: The taxi driver? [161] The street mime? [24] The pretzel seller? [148] Or does the chase lead to: Canada? [35] Hawaii? [120] Greenland? [68] Score: 1 Case: Torch Suspect: ? Destination: ? Fun fact: In 1984, the original torch was removed and replaced with a refurbished copy, whose flame is covered in 24-karat gold. The original torch is displayed in the Statue's museum, which is in its pedestal - which explains how Carmen and co. managed to make off with it at all, since it weighs 3,600 pounds and is 16 feet tall! Contrary to the way it was portrayed in Alfred Hitchcock's film 'Saboteur', the torch that's up on the statue has been closed to viewers since 1916; to get to it, you have to climb a rickety 40-foot ladder.

[24] Interview - Street Mime Your contact is working outside the New York Public Library. He's a pretty good mime, climbing in and out of invisible boxes and riding invisible bicycles. When he collects his coins from the passersby, you talk to him. "I hear you may be able to tell me something." He shakes his head and points to his mouth. Of course! He's a mime. He never says a word. You sigh. This isn't going to be an easy case. "Okay," you agree. "What can you show me?" The mime smiles, then runs around with his arms out. "Airplane," you guess, and he nods. "But where to?" you ask. He points uptown. "Times Square?" you guess. He shakes his head and points again. This time he shudders. "Somewhere scary?" you ask. Wrong again. The mime makes gestures of pulling on a coat. "Somewhere cold," you realize. He nods, and shakes your hand. So now you know your thief is heading north to somewhere cold. Better check to see what else you can discover. You're hoping the next contact can talk! You head back to the airport [74]. Where next? Should we question: The taxi driver? [161] The pretzel seller? [148] Or does the chase lead to: Canada? [35] Hawaii? [120] Greenland? [68] Score: 3 Case: Torch Suspect: ? Destination: north, somewhere cold

[161] Interview - Taxi Driver You find the taxi driver you're looking for, uptown at the Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park. The Cloisters is one of your favorite spots in New York City. It's a museum made up of parts of monasteries and churches shipped over from Europe. It's always peaceful here, no matter how wild the rest of New York might be. "So," the driver asks as you get in, "you after anything special?" "I'm after the man who stole the torch from the Statue of Liberty," you tell him. "Yeah, I heard about that robbery. You know, I picked up a guy who wanted to get to the airport fast. Said he was heading off to a place where they spend krones. Hey, where do you want to go?" "The airport fast," you tell him. What luck to get such a hot lead just as you head out. [74] Where next? Should we question: The pretzel seller? [148] Or does the chase lead to: Canada? [35] Hawaii? [120] Greenland?

[68] Greenland As you climb out of the aircraft, you pull your coat around you for warmth. You're in Godthaab, Greenland, now also known as Nuuk. It's bitterly cold here, which isn't too surprising, since over 80 percent of the country is permanently covered in a sheet of ice. Your contact arrives, and you ask him, "Why on earth is this place called Greenland? Wouldn't Snowland be more appropriate?" "Probably," he agrees. "But when Eric the Red discovered the land in 982 AD, he called it Greenland to get people to come and settle here. Sort of a cheerful advertising campaign." "Well, I'm glad someone can be cheerful about this cold," you answer. "So, got any hot tips for me?" "A few," he answers. "I've found some people who saw the man you're after. And there have been three flights out since he arrived." Do we want to talk to: The Eskimo? [44] The fisherman? [143] The farmer? [99] (originally misprinted as [41], which leads to the New Zealand farmer from the last case) Or are we ready to leave and head for: Saudi Arabia? [11] Italy? [159] China? [71] Score: 6 Case: Torch Suspect: Male Destination: ? Fun fact: The Greenland map card is the only one that doesn't mention a currency. And yet currency was used as a clue to the country anyway.

Let's ask the farmer, because I'm curious as to what they're farming. FWIW, I think Eskimo has become not the right term to use since that book has been published. It's kinda like using Oriental.

A Note on Word ChoicesIbblebibble posted:FWIW, I think Eskimo has become not the right term to use since that book has been published. It's kinda like using Oriental. You are correct! 'Eskimo' is a somewhat derogatory Algonquin word, possibly meaning 'eaters of raw meat'; the people in question call themselves 'Inuit'*. I figured I'd bring it up if people followed that branch, but yes. (I'm reproducing it here because it's the exact text of the book, but yes. Don't use it.) *Note that 'Inuit' doesn't apply to the Iρupiat people who are native to Alaska, who were also previously called 'Eskimo' by media of the time.

It's also kinda offensive to identify someone solely by their ethnicity. Let's talk to the farmer, who might also be Inuit for all we know, just as the Inuit might be a farmer too (but it's not mentioned in favor of his ethnicity).

Yeah, pretty much. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [99] Interview - Farmer The farmer has a small plot of land near Godhavn on the west coast. It's so cold, you wonder how anything ever grows here. Still, the farmer greets you politely, and you ask him about the man you're after. "Oh, I remember him," he tells you. "He hated it here because of the cold. He said he was going to go to a warmer place, but first he had to change his money to riyals. You said goodbye and head back to the airport. [68] Good, the next place is warmer. Fun fact: Godhavn is now called Qeqertarsuaq. Where next? Do we want to talk to: The Inuit? [44] The fisherman? [143] Or are we ready to leave and head for: Saudi Arabia? [11] Italy? [159] China?

[44] Interview - Inuit You find Alaska a bit of a disappointment. The Inuit you've come to see lives in a beautiful stone house, instead of an igloo, as you had hoped. When you mention this, he laughs. "Igloos are old-fashioned," he tells you. Oh, well. You ask him about your suspect. "Yes, I saw him," the Inuit answers. "He had brown hair. He told me he was looking for greener pastures, and then left. I have no idea where he went." The Inuit's clues aren't much help, but they're better than nothing. You head back to Nuuk to think things over. [68] Alaska?! How did we end up in Alaska? We were in Greenland, last I checked! I think the book's author is well on his way to the rank of 'Shoe Salesman'. Where next? Do we want to talk to: The fisherman? [143] Or are we ready to leave and head for: Saudi Arabia? [11] Italy?

That Inuit was the most helpful witness so far- he pointed us right at Chuck Roast as the crook we're after (he's the only male with brown hair). Thanks buddy! Let's go back to Saudi Arabia since we know the currency. Wonder if we'll meet different witnesses this visit.

[11] Saudi Arabia You get off the plane in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The place is crowded with pilgrims visiting the holy city of Mecca. It's the birthplace of Mohammed, the prophet of the religion of Islam. Over half a million pilgrims from sixty different countries around the world visit here each year. The pilgrimage is called the hajj. Despite the crowd, the local Acme man finds you. He's obviously a good detective, if he can spot you in this crowd. But then again, you're the only one in a trench coat and fedora. "What's the news?" you ask him. "Your man definitely arrived here. I've managed to find three people who saw him. If you talk to them, they may be able to help you." "Any connecting flights?" you ask. "Three," the detective answers. "He could have left on any of them, hidden by these crowds." "Yeah," you sigh. "Crowds are good camouflage for a crook." Should we interview: The used-camel salesman? [76] The date trader? [15] The oil driller? [128] Or are we hot on the trail leading to... Japan?
