Okay, two more questions, if you don't mind -

Is there any chance we'll get an increased character allowance for our Detective Biographies? I really enjoy reading everyone else's, and just finished my own to find that only about two thirds of it will fit. There is no dialogue or any of that, just an overview of what in her life led her to the profession, and while I could condense the story doing so would render it a bit boring. Miss Emm is a complicated chick, goshdarnit.

Also, I noticed that talking to various townies about what they've heard about a case leaves me with a list of people who either think they know who did it or have no idea, but in my limited experience I haven't found a pattern where such revelations correspond with who the culprit actually is. Using the Sleuth Helper form tool also I noticed there is a field to enter whether the victim "knows!" or "doesn't." I didn't see anything about this in the tutorial. What does it all mean?

Drat! Thank you. I thought maybe the guilty party would parade around town announcing they knew the identity of the culprit in order to lift suspicion from themselves, but obviously I was looking too far into things and failed to make the WE connection.

Remember, in this game, everything is straightforward, so it's best not to dig too far into a case. For example, if a townie confirms someone's alibi, in this game, the person cannot be guilty. In reality, the suspect could have bribed the townie, but that would be digging way too far into it.
