Conclusion #2

Closed kumavis closed 10 years ago

kumavis commented 10 years ago

This is awesome! Great idea, and nice execution!

I felt like the conclusion was a little anti-climactic (unless I missed something). After figuring out the murderer's name it was sort of... "well, am i done now?" Would have enjoyed more of a catch at the end of the chase.

But most importantly I learned some new commands and flags, so job well done :grinning:

Are you planning on continuing this project?

I agree, I was not aware that I had solved it!

SPOLERS/HINTS, beware:

After I knocked on the suspects door, and found they had gone on holidays, I was left wondering if I had anything else to do. Thinking that I may want to interview his associates, I found all people who were members of the same places as the suspect. Interviewing them left me with no further clues, so I thought I had missed something. I could think of nothing else to do, so I looked at the hints. The last hint basically told me to check out the membership lists, so I thought I did that wrong. Finally, I gave up and looked at the solution to find that I had solved it a number of steps ago. It was a bit frustrating and anticlimactic.

First of all, this was a blast! Fantastic idea, thoroughly enjoyed.

SPOILER BELOW

My last step was to check the membership lists against the final suspect after he wasn't in the house, and found his memberships all matched what was in the wallet. My first though was that it was circumstantial and I'd have to catch him somewhere but wasn't the case, perhaps an idea would be to investigate the trip and try to track him down?

Agree that the conclusion is not as exciting as it could be, and in general a lot of the "plot" is pretty crude. This was kind of a rush job, but I definitely want to do a second installment, which will be more polished and hopefully require some more clever command line skills!
