There have been a few complaints recently about undeserved False Accusations and cases where the player thinks there was a structural problem (a guilty suspect without proper evidence or a good alibi, or the reverse for an innocent.

Given how long it has been since I've made any changes that affect the core game rules (and how many cases have been played), I don't see any reason that a new structural bug has appeared. That said, I've had enough complaints made by experienced players that it is worth taking a look.

Sooo, I'm going to go through any FA's that you think may have resulted from a bug in the past two months.

Please reply to this thread with the approximate date of any such FA's (I know it's tough to recall exactly) and I'll poke the data with a stick.

One other question, IF it were possible to replay an FA (without possibility of reward or further penalization) would you all be interested in doing that? How important do you think that update would be?

Thanks all.

Nah, it wouldn't need to keep track of every move. The point would be to allow you another chance to play the case to see if you could correctly solve it if you made different choices.

It doesn't require tracking all the moves you made in the order you made them, just to duplicate the starting condition of the case. The system actually already does this. We store the entire case structure for all FA's when the wrong suspect is accused. This is the way I'm able to go back and analyse disputed cases.
