Oh my, I shouldn´t have gotten out of bed today. Well, I did and maybe on the wrong foot. But hey, it was 4.30 when the phone rang, so what would you expect.. Anyway, I took the case, but that stupid client who woke me up, was guilty. I know, I know, should´ve gone back to bed, but no no, not me.. I went to work, and there was next waiting. I took that, and after spending a LOT of money bribing townies, I didn´t get my reward... At lunch time I had solved 5 Incredibly Hard cases, and what did I get?
Nothing!
So I went to the Bar and took a couple of drinks.. well 5 actually, one for every case.
After "lunch" I took a little easier cases and what did I get this time...? NOTHING!
( At least townies gave me rewards)
I´m going back to the bar and have another 5 drinks.
Just thinking, do they think I´m stupid or something, when they hire a detective knowing well that they´re guilty....
Now my question is: has this happened to someone else?
Just curious.
(and sorry if this on the wrong board)

*smile* The important thing is that you got the experience points. ...How many skill points did you get?

I was a way from home city, so I took easier cases, so no skill points :(

ah, the beauty of pickpocketing!

I know 4 cases so far in a row and my clients are guitly.

Jul-30-2005 18:31

i had 7 in row but saved and had det. with pick pocket skill solve. Not real sure but maybe U shouldn't have changed case difficulty, I am pretty sure I did the same changed after 4th then got 3 more. I figure if I get 4 in a row ever again I will be sure to do a favor so that when solved I will get something in return and break the streak!!2-4-1DEAL!!!!!

You may be right, but hey, after 5 whiskeys... easy was all could do... lol

Oh so its easy's AHA! I also noticed the amount of clients guilty is rising when I do easy cases.
I guess thats it!

Jul-31-2005 13:48

Then I guess it's not just me when I see that if I do easier or same-level cases repeatedly, the cases will get a little harder or the client will become sinister!

Well, statistically you have less people to chose from when you do the easy cases. The client has a 20% chance of being the guilty person with 5 suspects as 10% chance with 10 suspects...

Remember there is no luck, only math <shudder>
