no audience, 'judge o' character' is not some irish guy with a gavel and a robe.
What I'm wondering is this (by wondering, I mean its making me nuts..yay subtlety gene):
how is it possible that in the same case you can try to interrogate witness/suspect A successfully when the judge of character skill has reported that the chance of success is 59, while trying the same trick on witness/suspect B can fail even though the chance of success is higher?
Don't get me wrong...it normally works. But in those instances when it doesn't, I'm all 'what the hell?'
Comments? Suggestions? Bueller? Bueller?

nope Will, not ocd but funny you should ask (actually, funnier that you should ask twice even if the second one is a mistake...repetitive actions etc) -my brother is, and I kind of write stuff about it for what passes as my living.
*thinks about how many things having "rasputin's eggs in your locker" could be a euphemism for then groans at own really bad joke*

Isn't there also a correlation whether the person you are speaking to is of the opposite sex esp. when using sweet talking/flirting? But then, that still should be reflected in the percentage, huh? Okay, I'm answering my own question.
I think they do this so voila, it is never easy we are frustrated enough to come back for more. It's like the ultimate Pavlovian training. We never know when we will be successful, so we go for it every time.

yep, you answered your own question. *grin* If the suspect is the opposite sex and you have flirting it increases your chances by 20 points.

You know what I hate? When you: for example: are talking to the waitress. You try to get her to bend the rules. Doesn't work. You try to intimidate her. Doesn't work. Then you bribe her, like $150 or something and, she says something like, "No, I didn't see him anywhere," or, "No, I don't lnow anything about this case." You just wasted $150 of your hard-earned money.
