I recently had to quit a case, and I wondered how many cases have you been forced to quit from.

My ratio I'm sad to say is I quit about 1 in every 8 cases. 'Most' of those are from early on. To paraphase jojo above, I think the rule of thumb is - and there's been recent posts in this section about it - when in doubt quit, don't guess! Shady's a killer.

325. Forced wouldn't exactly be the right word though for most of them. Alot of them I was just too lazy to put the effort into for one reason or another, looking for Lucy, or trying to avoid a certain contact, swallowing bum cases for others....

But I am one of the more fanatical ones about this. I hate to quit a case if I can wring one last question out of one more suspect.
It is far better to quit than guess, I just find it hard to do either.

I don't know why I am not retired yet. Sleuthadmin must have a special plan for me.
Also, note I quit so many cases yet have a relatively high score because I try every case every day.

I have solved 10 cases but have quit on 1. So I guess the rate is pretty good at the moment. I previously had to retire my ealier detective because I was still green and was stubborn about quiting. But it's so hard to quit those favours.

But I claim the prize for most cases quit. I am the best quitter on the site :)
Everyone should thank me for letting so many criminals run free.

I quit a TON of cases when I first started. I tried to take on too hard of cases before I was ready. And I ended up quitting a ton to get certain contacts for Fat Kitten, so I have a large amount. However, paying Shady now would be ridiculous for me, well over 500,000, so I will quit a case anytime now. Better safe than sorry. I would hate to have to start over after all this time.

Not too bad so far, 3 quit, 83 solved, but more Falses than I care to divulge... let's just say that Shady and I are on a first-name basis.
BUT NO MORE! No more shall I say "well, It's definitely either him or her... what the heck...", as I've already had to take out a third mortgage to "take care of" my transgressions...

I do play an ocassional game sometimes. But only if 2 pieces of evidence are with my contact. Because i am THAT lazy. I am too embarassed to say how many quits I have, I don't know how many, but A LOT.
