Letters from Whitechapel

And InkyBloc sent me a move in advance - thanks!

Again in player order, search or arrest. If searching, let me know your preferred order of adjacent circles. @Lordof1 first.

Searches previously suggested, which you can now carry out if you like::

  • Lordof1: 102, 69
  • Assussanni: 131, 146
  • RossM: 58, then random
  • InkyBloc: random

Yep, as suggested please.

Nothing found. @Assussanni?

As suggested, 131 then 146 please.

Nothing found. @RossM?

As suggested

Nothing. @Whistle_Pig ?

Actually, now that I think about it, you know that Jack can’t be found by the rest of you. So I’ll roll forward.

Jack makes a standard move.

@Lordof1 and the rest of the police, it’s up to you to collude and make your moves.

So Jack is now 2 circles away from 132?

Or may have gone back to 132. Backtracking is allowed except in the middle of a coach move.

I think there are three options for me:

  1. Move North twice to see if Jack is at/has been through 106 or 108.
  2. Move to just South of the murder scene, to see if Jack as been to 133 or 134.
  3. Stay where I am to block the intersection I am on, in case Jack has gone 133 → 146 and is planning to sneak past when my back is turned.

Any thoughts?

I think it makes sense to have you keep covering the south, since most of the detectives are coming down from the north.

Looks like he could have gone 92 all the way over to 77 in the northeast - @RossM you may want to check that.

Is it useful for me to stay over here on the edge of things, or should I dive in?

We are Day 1, the easiest day for Jack and he’s gone for all the way over in the east. This suggests to me his hideout. is central to close the distance to home on later days

[eerie whistling]

Um, I believe I stated nobody expects Jack’s hideout to be at 23. Take the hint! :stuck_out_tongue:

Wait wait I’ve had a thought… is it at 23?

Aside from that I agree. We’re unlikely to nab him tonight with all his nefarious ‘coaches’ and other such devilish tools, but might as well try to close the net anyway.

I think I’m going to move between 89 and 90
