Woah. This guy wants to charge me $20,000 instead of the $800 or so before, what gives? Does this mean you should just clear stuff early on? This is painful.

i made it a habbit to "fix" it after every 1 false. still the shady guy took almost all i had, but maybe that is the answer: fix first and then work to get the money back. though it wont make me reach...

I've adjusted the the price of using the Shady Character downwards. This change only effects players with more than 10,000 experience.

Reda, the price is the same for 1 or 2 false accusations, so you're kind of throwing money away fixing it after one. Sleuth Admin has pointed this out somewhere, so I just thought I'd repeat his words of wisdom.

You do...but if you hadn't paid for erasing your #1 false, you'd be paying for the first time with your #2 false. Complicated thought, let me try to explain it through an example.

Example:
False #1 - Option 1) Pay $1000 and go to 0 False
OR Option 2) do nothing.

False #2 - Option 1) You now have 1 false again, so according to your policy you pay $3000 to go to 0 false again OR Option 2) This is your second false, so you pay $3000 to go to 0 false.

Option 1) Total: $1000 + $3000 = $4000.
Option 2) Total: $0 + $3000 = $3000.

See -the second time around, you pay the same sum ANYWAY, whether it's your second false or another first false. You always pay extra when paying for first false. Or am I the one who's missing something? Entirely possible. My head and numbers don't really work together.

The shady character still seems to be toooo expensive. I just have one false accusation, and I'm not really worried to clear it up, because I don't usually have false accusations. (this is actually the only one ever).
But even if I wanted to clear it, I never seem to have the money to do it. After a day of work I always check his price, and it is always a bit more than I have. And it's not like I spend money around. I'm not in an agency, so I don't pay rent, and I never buy equipement (apart from a magnifying glass and a watch a loooong time ago) because stuff I get from favors are far better than what you find in the shop.

Anyway, although I don't actually spend money, I never seem to have enough money for the shady man. His price keeps going up as my money goes up.
I'm not really worried to clear my record, but I think he should be much cheaper.

Is it possible to freeze the price at where it was when the second accusation was picked up?

Feh.

Maybe I should have him offer a payment plan.
