I think shady is a great idea for controling how well people play. But on the other hand "unsolvable" cases and human error can cause fauls acusations way to easy. I think shady should be changed for this reson. How you ask?

I think the cost should be lowered. I found myself not being able to do any cases for weeks having my agency back me on money till I could pay him off. All because of two cases were evry clue pointed to a certain person but the case said I was wrong. I spent so much money on bribes for those cases just to find out those bribes were worthless.??? Thats not right.

Also I think as your skill level incresis so should the amount of false acusations your alowed.

Fellow Sluethers, what do you think?

Aviles, PE + We does not equal guilty. So in effect you were guessing.

The quickie formula:

liar/none + PE = guilty
liar/none + WE = guilty
WE + WE = guilty

anything else is just guessing.


Of course I like Shady the way he is. I was surprised to find out I could erase falses. When I first started playing I thought "wow that person did how many thousands of cases to get to that level and never got 3 wrong!"

I think shady is just teaching us the humble act of quitting.

Hmm humble indead.

We all hate Shady, the rotten bottem dweller. And as much as I'd love to vote for a change to his business practices, I really don't think it would benefit the game. You have to be careful, you have to pay attention, and you have to pay the price if you don't. *has paid Shady's prices far too many times*

As Anstett mentioned above, one piece of Physical evidence, and one Eye Witness is NOT enough to accuse. Learn that lesson, learn the formulas and double check your notes.

I think that if Shady were to start needing favors, that perhaps clearing the record might be a little too much. Maybe he could offer a discount though....

Personally I think shady is just fine the way he is, a bad person but an important and well quit expensive *takes a hard drink from his flask* addition to being a dective. Ill get him though, he'll mess up and I'll Nab him and make him give every one a clean record once for free *Laughs heardly and drinks a gain from his flask and stubles off*

I know, as evil as this may sound, Shady is cool. *flinches and waits for knives to be thrown*

He adds to the persona of the game, and the only reason we want to get rid of him, is to benefit our personal needs! He needs to make a living too, and without him, we'd all be through our 17th detective by now (not that those who have are bad people)...

I fully agree Isabel. Is one reason I would like a way to track those falses that have been removed.

Just a total cases opened or something figure.

I posted an idea about Shady under Game Annoucements - General Feedback. As of now it's the second to last post.

I think that instead of xp choosing how much you pay it could be percentage like 10% of your money is how much you pay. (or whatever number)

I kind of like that idea too Sonic. With my exp now, and having 2 falses (groans), its about impossible to pay Shady. The higher exp goes, the higher the cost goes. Ugh! With my other detective, Makensie Brewer, who is in the 5 millions, its even worse :) Luckily she has only 1 but that is still one too many for me :)
