Two days on the system and I was logging onto paypal. THANKS for the new addiction!

My apologies if this has been covered someplace. I did use the search bar, went to the newbie FAQ, checked the Help button, cruised the subscriber section and didn't get an answer.

I'd like to know if there is a way to work on more than one case at a time. For me... a little time in the cooker is a beautiful thing. Is there a way? A possibility of working on two cases (or even three) at once?

Currently my poor detective is on her way to Shady's because of the need to shift focus. In the first instance I thought I would loose the case completely if I didn't finish it before it's conclusion. Now I know that I can shut it down and it will be there for me later - WHEW!

The second time, I was waaaay too tired to continue. What I needed was to put the case down and think a little - give my brain a chance to think through the scripted material, ya know? Move onto another case so I could stay in mode but let my subconcious work it out. When the answer came up and I realized how close I was... well... I could have spat.

Breitkat and Arabella stated it very well … and kudos to you for researching the subject first. I waited a few weeks before joining an agency because I too was very hesitant. (Looking back, joining an established agency soon after I subscribed would have been the wisest move, but who knew? :D) You will learn the ropes with an established agency, and you in turn can benefit the agency (fame points for cases solved, treasure hunts, etc.) If you don’t want to be expected to contribute “rent” you need to find out about this up front. Most agency directors who are hiring are more than happy to discuss their agency with you and answer any questions you may have. Good luck!

So...

I've received several suggestions of agencies. A couple here and a few in my private mailbox. I have no idea how to manage this. I did a close look at each agency for location, inception date, fame, treasure, housing, and off system web presence.

I looked at the number of agents, each agent's "age", experience points and active status. I even looked at the standings of folks on the high score boards.

I'm exhausted and feel like I've squandered a good day of sleuthing. The youngest agent I found was 14, with most being around 60. *sigh*

Time to go sleuthing methinks... I need a break.
