Okay, now to continue my 'sleuthing'. Here's responses from the last case:
Case #1 Difficulty: Novice
“Okay, I just played a Ra Player, and I think he cheated. I was using Odin. I did the regular build order; the map was Savannah by the way. He advanced earlier than me! By 30-40 seconds I think. I advanced at 3:30. Anyway, he was scouting with his priest, and he managed to find my forward base! He started attacking, so I killed his priest with my ulf, with some assistance from my troll. A few seconds later, he shift sanded with 5 Spearmen and 4 Slingers, while I only had 3 Raiding Cavalry & 1 Throwing Axeman. Anyway, then he advanced, then a few minutes later sent like 5 rams, 2 scorpion man, 6 chariots, 4 elephants, a sphinx, and wiped out my base. My units had been raiding his Gold miners, and killed all his gold miners, and he still had money to build miggies! He killed me in about, 13 Minutes? Was this guy cheating?”
Next, he says “ he was scouting with his priest”. Okay, now a Ra player would keep his priest empowering back in base, and would have scouted most the map by now. Neither would he attack his forward base on his own. This one isn’t really that a big one, but someone could have picked it up.
Now, here’s another OBVIOUS one! He says “Anyway, then he advanced, then a few minutes later sent like 5 rams, 2 scorpion man, 6 chariots, 4 elephants, a sphinx, and wiped out my base.”
2 Scorpion Men? How is that possible when Ra doesn’t even have access to Nepthys?
I’m really shocked, DeathandPain response was sound, but next time, I suggest everyone look at the obvious statements!
Moving right along,
Riddle #1: I guess this is what happens: The man, goes up to bartender and ask for a beer or something, the bartender then ‘shoots’ him a glass. I don’t know what you mean by dead, did you mean, he got drunk and died? Or is ‘Dead’ the name of a beer?
Riddle #2: So these ‘adventurers’ came across a river, there are several answers for this one. They include them not even wanting to cross, the river could be a puddle and they could just walk across. I admit, this is bizarre, I have heard of the lion, goat & cabbage willing to cross though?
P.S, NiceHorus, sorry, if I offended you, but if you follow the link, it’ll show you a similar scenario as Squeoo, I never meant to patronize you, I actually and pretty proud for you that you spent the hard times getting that rating. It’s just that you took what I said “attention seeking threads” to be a bad thing, it explains it in the link.
Also, SHANKS please, don’t close this down, as you can see it’s just a scenario from AOM and you tell what’s wrong with it. It’s a nice break from surfing for strats !
that offers Shifting Sands GP (Ptah) doesn't offer Sphinxes

ROFLWell, you did solve PART of the case, you never really solved all of it. There are other various things, I was really surprised people missed. For example, He said “Okay, I just played a Ra Player, and I think he cheated. I was using Odin.” Right? So then, how could he have “killed his priest with my ulf, with some assistance from my troll” When Odin doesn’t even have access to Forseti? I was really surprised no-one noticed!
Mister, this is not even level 0.5 difficulty. The most obvious flaw in this narration is the fact that the God Shifting Sands GP (Ptah) doesn't offer Sphinxes! I expected better than this from you!

Moving right along,
Riddle: A man walks into a bar and the barkeeper immediately shoots him dead. Why?AH! Phaeton180 wishes to test the detective, eh? Thanks, you the riddle. Besides the fact, that both have little relevance with detective skills are based purely on lateral thinking, I will attempt to answer them.
Riddle Two: A group of adventureers were walking through a forest and came ot a large river. They could not swim across, they could not fly, they could not go around, they could not build anything, use animals, and there was no way around PERIOD!!! Don't question the riddle, just me!
Go my fellow "detectives" and sleuth this one out
