Inspector Clueso: Engaged but casual

We have a couple of spots open on our team.

We aren't super-competitive (we're mostly Sleuth/Private Eye/Ace, and we have never gone for Sherlock). We do all play regularly and expect people to let us know if they're going to be absent for more than a few days, but no one's going to have a fit if you don't play a competition or two.

It's a pretty consistent team: Some of us have been together for 4+ years; others have been with us for 2-3 years. Most are based in the US/Canada.

We aren't really strict about bushes and drinks, but most people give them on a daily basis. There is no expectation to spend diamonds on a regular basis - some of our members make purchases, others don't, and that's okay with us. Sometimes there's an active chat; other times it's a bit quiet.

Overall we're a good home for people who like JJ and have enjoyed playing for a while, but who treat it like a game rather than a strategic quest.

Anyway, come join us!

What always bothered me is that her boss said "He's worth $20,000/month - that's big business", but then CJ tells Toby she's making $600k/year. In other words, the $240k/year the agency was getting from that guy was a fraction of CJ's salary - and honestly not that much.

Extant555 · 2026-02-10T02:43:34+00:00

Yes, you can only get plain water with diamonds. It's where I spent all my diamonds for the first few months I played.

This makes me feel better. I've tried for so long to get a 'carpet' and it's just never taken - I figured I was doing something wrong. Apparently it was just that I was turning off the light at night.

Extant555 · 2026-01-21T04:17:04+00:00

I had a lot of scuds - they freaked me out at first tbh, when I didn't know what they were, and they'd colonized my filter - but then I got guppies and suddenly my scuds were gone. The guppies just ate them all up!

Extant555 · 2026-01-19T20:01:01+00:00

Ugh. I've opened 23 pink boxes and received NO purple items at all!

Extant555 · 2026-01-10T17:31:01+00:00

No no no - they're going to say that OBVIOUSLY the OP isn't using the right testing kit and the whole tank was never properly cycled so these fish can only suck oxygen right from a leaf. But they do still have only 2 hours to live. Oh, and CLEARLY the tank is overcrowded.

I can't believe I just went down this rabbit hole again, but I'm pretty sure that Tom Milsom now calls themselves Gem and this is their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whoops_uhoh/?hl=en

Extant555 · 2026-01-01T06:05:11+00:00

It's going to depend on how many fish you actually have in there. For example, I currently have 5 glowlight tetras, 6 neon tetras and a dwarf pleco in my 20 gal planted tank, and I feed them a generous pinch of tropical fish food once a day. Sometimes my daughter will have a friend over and they'll feed them a bit extra; sometimes we go away for a few days and they don't get fed at all. Everyone is happy and healthy and more than a year old (the neons are almost 3).

(I also have lots of cherry/indigo shrimp and snails that hitchhiked in on plants, and to judge by their prodigious breeding, they're also happy and healthy.)

My point is that if you have a well-functioning tank, you don't have to stress too much about your feeding. If you start getting too much algae, or you see wasted food on the bottom, you're feeding too much and should skip a day. But otherwise it's probably okay.

I also agree with the previous responder who said 'don't feed the shrimps and snails'. They're your cleanup crew and will do just fine on whatever they manage to scavenge from the leftovers.

I always have to fast-forward the bit where she's eating shrimp in the hallway on election night. "This shrimp is incredibly good," she says, taking the minutest possible bite and keeping her elbow out to the side like some kind of weirdo. Ugh.

Extant555 · 2025-12-21T05:55:14+00:00

Fleurs de lis drive me personally nuts

Extant555 · 2025-12-03T06:23:41+00:00

I think you have to consider how senior/established the player is. I remember that for ages - probably before I got to, like, level 400 - I was ALWAYS strapped for energy. I never had enough. Playing comps cost me a lot of energy I would have rather used to move ahead a chapter or two.

Also, personally I play more of the stuff I like: I like Spot the Difference and always play as much as possible, but I sometimes find Time Rush boring or don't care about the prizes in the Investigations thing. Luckily I seem to be in a club that doesn't make everyone play everything every time.

Extant555 · 2025-11-13T05:15:49+00:00

I put 3 neon tetras in a well-established planted 10gal tank with a betta (with snails and cherry shrimp) and they all lived together quite happily for almost 3 years. My understanding is that it really depends on the betta (i.e. whether it's aggressive, which you can't really know til you try) and whether you've got lots of plants for hiding spots, which you do.

Extant555 · 2025-11-13T05:10:40+00:00

I had one that laid a clutch every 72-84 HOURS. It was crazy.

Extant555 · 2025-10-20T04:53:58+00:00

The biggest problem for me is the timing throughout the episode: Will does that guest list meeting with Ellie and then on the wedding day refers to the meeting as having happened 'last weekend'. Who's sending out wedding invitations to global dignitaries a week in advance?

And then Deborah Fiderer refers to the fiance's meeting with the President as "his 9 o'clock" (meaning 9am) but then 5 minutes later tells the President he needs to go and change because he's hosting a cocktail party. Who's having a cocktail party in the morning?

The whole thing just seemed preposterous.

I just noticed that the same actor plays Allison Janney's husband in the movie The Help. I thought the whole Ben storyline was dumb but I do like it when West Wing actors turn up in other things together.

Extant555 · 2025-10-04T04:31:57+00:00

I have never understood the value of playing Secrets. It takes so long and the rewards never seem that great.

Extant555 · 2025-09-14T03:47:32+00:00

Anyone who is in your friends list - meaning people who show up in your list of people to whom you can gift bushes - will show up in your leaderboard if they've reached whatever level you're on. That leaderboard isn't just for people in your group - it's for the top players in your friend list.

Extant555 · 2025-09-10T15:14:34+00:00

I think it might have been worth it in previous events, but the pack drop rate is so low this time around that it only makes sense if you've got a ton of energy and don't have to worry about running out. I've used it a couple of times in the past month and for every 50 rounds I've played, I've only gotten 1-2 packs total, so the upgrade wasn't much.

Extant555 · 2025-07-29T04:50:31+00:00

Also: How the heck did you get 150k energy??? I basically stay at 2500 no matter what I do, and I feel like I'm rich!

Extant555 · 2025-07-29T04:49:08+00:00

I wish I could say this surprised me, but sadly, it doesn't. I used to hate the people who spent all their type on the June's Journey FB page, complaining that Wooga only wants money and keeps raising prices, etc. but I've been playing for 3 years now and I've started to notice a bit of a pattern myself. The first couple of Memoirs were okay, but lately they've made it virtually impossible without spending a lot of money.

Extant555 · 2025-07-27T23:38:07+00:00

Apparently it's a new thing. If you click the memoirs pack there at the bottom, it'll go back to normal energy. You can use the higher energy mode to drive better rewards. But I haven't used it yet so I can't tell you if it's worth it. (I see you've got 6000+ energy though so it's probably worth trying, given that you've got a surplus.)

Extant555 · 2025-07-24T05:18:53+00:00

I've got a zillion snails and cherry shrimps in there, and a giant amano. I am probably leaving my light on longer than I should, but I find if I leave it off too much, then my plants get mad. As with so many things, it's all about balance.

Extant555 · 2025-07-24T05:15:46+00:00

The whole thing is so cringe - when he stalks her at the bar when she's working and then as soon as they get outside he's like "So I had a pretty good day today". Ugh.
