Okay, I was in a level Hard case, and I'm pretty sure that the harder the case, the easier people clam up on you (and unfortuantely 1.) I don't have the skills to unclam 'em and 2.) I'm not subscribed *yet*). So, anyway, I was on this case where I had a threatning note. So I go and interview the suspects and two of the suspects have the Banker as an alibi. I verify one suspect and I'm good. But before I can verify the second one, my stress detector (lol) tells me that Ruby is going to clam up soon. So I decide to wait a second and use my research skill to lower down the possible suspects.

Here's the problem: is it more important to verify an alibi or to see if you know who wrote the note?

Sometimes, if I can't verify an alibi without the townsies clamming up on me, I'll skip it and usually will count them as a prime suspect (depending on the number of the prime suspects I have already). Is this any good or not??

Any help would be nice!

Thank you! No, I perfectly understand what you're trying to say, Reda (and your advice actually makes some sense to me!)

I guess I'll just have to live with the clock, but oh well..... I can deal :D

Thanks Makensie and Reda!

I noticed that for intermediate the number of fake alibies is "3". For hard is "4" ... or?
