As of now, you should not be able to get two contacts that both help with physical evidence. Nor, should you be able to get two contacts that don't help with physical evidence. So, if your first contact was one of the evidence experts (Barber, Tailor, Shoe Maker or Banker), your second contact will not be another person from that group. Conversely, if your first contact is not from that group, your second one will be.

To even things up. I'm also adjusting those detectives who already have two contacts. I'm reassigning the second contact of those of you who already have two, if they are either both evidence experts, or neither evidence experts.

Does that make sense?

I think I said something like this before, when we were discussing how to make the switch from beta to a subscription service.

I am not at all insulted by having people argue over how the game is developed. It is a very good sign that people care enough to complain. In particular, it proves that even people who have been playing for several months, still care enough (and are entertained enough) by the game, to have strong feelings, one way or another, about those changes.

I hope that I don't upset anybody else, when I choose to argue back, and defend decisions that I've made or am planning to make.

Are you sure you're not whining just a little Kitten? : )

Thank you Ben, that was very nice of you. I really do think the game is run well and it is quite enjoyable. Please accept my apologies if I was reading too much into your words.

So that's what happened to the Fortune Teller! And here I thought Mr.Lee was an important contact, but it's the Shoemaker instead! (I understand why you made the change & think most people will accept it as being more fair.)

Ahah, this explains it. At least I sparkled a confucius thread in second contacts in whatever the section is called again about anything remotely related to the game.

I think it stinks, I chose my skills based on the knowledge I had the barber and banker as contact. No fair no fair. I think I deserve some free skill points? <grovel, grovel>

Or...being able to exchange skill sets? Even if it is only one skill set, once a week? OK I am sounding desperate here.

Do you want the barber back, instead of the banker?

Negasong, I really was not whining any more than you were in your "worst ever" post. If I now have the tone of that message right. I completely agree with everything the Admin has done and the new contact WILL be much more useful to me than the old one - surely there is no question about that. So why on earth would I whine? For some reason, I just found it interesting/amusing/somehow worth my time to mention this zero-value thing.

Phew, you can just feel the over-sensitivity and mixed messages in the air on this thread. :) Glad we're not taking this seriously, then ;)
