In training some of the new people for Mojo we were having the never ending discussion about skills.

We where talking about when we first used a skill what it felt like.

So for the rest of Sleuthville...

What Skill made you go "COOL!"
What Skill made you go, "oh that's it?"

Over in the newbie area there are lots of threads on this.

The quick numbers for you:
+1 with a faction for them to talk to you
+10 to open hunts
+25 to teach you a skill
+30 for the best price

See the Newbie Faq link at the bottom of this page for this and more details on factions.

well i like judge of character very much and also think that stress detection is rather handy

but i bought research about 10 cases + favors ago and wasn't able to use it up to now ... but i gues that it might turn out to be rather usefull

Research works on every case Marissima, you probably didn't have enough suspects on your list to get the right one. It will always eliminate one suspect with false/no alibi.

Best way to use research is when you have a complete list of suspects. To check out if your list is complete you can pay a visit to the fortune teller and pay him/her $20. If all the actors have taken the stage and are going to deliver their final lines, you know everyone is there.

Then you can research your current case in City Hall and thus eliminate one suspect for sure :)

I am ambivilent on JoC. I bought it too early, but now use it with every question.

After I got the hang of it, and had good levels in both Charm and Tough the number of clams dropped to almost nothing.

It was more useful to me in the beginning, now I NEVER use it

I use joc with every question. This allows me to back out of questioning a suspect if the numbers are too low to avoid having them clam on me. If I really need an answer from that suspect, (and I know they're gonna clam) I can save the file and have someone in my agency of the opposite sex open it and question them for me.

well now i use research too ... but before i went up to the "really really hard" cases i didn't really need it ...

Pick Pocketing, because case after case my clients were almost *always* the murderer, and when I got it, i jumped crazily in the air and shouted loudly w/ all my might, lol.
