I was just reading up on the message board about contacts and some posts were describing how you can select which two contacts you can have by quitting favours for other contacts etc.

I was just wondering why you'd do that? In what way would one contact be more useful than another contact?

I don't want a spoiler... its just if they're permenant i thought i'd try and get some kind of insight before getting lumbered with a completely useless one.

Thanks :)

Well some members that are in an agency might try for a certain contact if the agency they are in is in need of that particular contact. So say they agency you are in is in dire need of a shoemaker in Shanghai (and your home agency is Shanghai) then someone might try and go for that contact in order to have more help for case files.

Hope that helps, Good luck!

Also, and this may be kinda convoluted thinking but...

When you're charming, it might be helpful to get contacts that are your own gender. You can just flirt like crazy with those opposite gender townies, which gives you a better chance to get them to bend the rules. But flirting doesn't work with those of your own gender.

When you're tough, it doesn't seem to matter what gender they are because pugilism works the same on both.

Ahhh, i see :) thanks!

Can i use rule bending and flirt one the same person? Like if Rule bending fails and they clam, i can then flirt with them?

Another reason is a long term thing. If you play in one city and say you have the basic evidence finding skills if you went for example for the tailor then you could leave getting advance tread analysis for a long time. This would be good if you had the advanced in the others but now wanted to focus on other skills.

Rule bending and flirting are different components of being charming. They aren't skills you can use separately.

Ie flirting is a bonus that is added to Rule bending or Sweet talking when you try to use them on a person of the opposite sex.
