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

I get them claming up on me with a 21 tough on the AI cases.

Even on the Incredibles they still clam up occasionally. It does involve a bit of luck. You have to be creative and wring every last question out of every suspect adn townie sometimes.

Case History:

Cases Quit: 0
Cases Solved: 16
False Accusations: 0

These numbers will change soon...I'm hoping only the middle one will, though...

I was wondering, when should you quit a case? Should you quit one because you will lose or gain points with certain people in politics? Thanks

Yes, that is one reason to quit.

The other reason to quit is if you get really stuck and don't want to guess and risk a false accusation (You only get 3 before you are retired).

It depends on who you ask that question to :)

I say you do not quit cases based on faction standing becuase over time they equal out and you can always use the Experience Points and Reward for the case. If you are trying to build a very high standing with a faction to be the leader of it then I can see why you might want to quit cases that hurt that. But that is only for those with a standing of 40+ in most cases.

If you can not solve the case that is a different issue. You have to quit because Shady is a tough person to be friends with. Rather than guess on the guilty party, it is always better to quit.

Can you be a faction leader without subscribing? How do you get to be a faction leader?

Yes.

You get to be a faction leader by having the greatest amount of favor with that faction when the day turns over.

So the faction leader will change every day?

It can change, but doesn't always. You have the opportunity to take the lead by being the detective with the highest standing at Midnight Sleuth time.

I think Det. Horace Locke might just have done it for the Order...he's unsubscribed.

As to case history and numbers quit...mine is red-faced tail-hanging shame, something like 1 in 7. In my defense, for the first few months I was hanging around here I didn't really pay attention to the message boards (*swats self with rolled up newspaper*) so I pretty much didn't accuse unless I had 2 pieces of evidence and no/fake alibi.
