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?

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.

*Says dryly* You'll hate it worse when it's $500. *grin*

When it's $500 I'll actually have money. *throws measly $8000 on the ground* *mumbles*
Anyway, to prove asterisks don't lower your chances...
************************************************************************************************************************************
I'm so brave...
I don't even have Judge of Character anyway.
I think the asterisks may have to do with the fact that if you swear, your karmic burden increases. *admires own wisdom*

Oh, I know. I was just throwing in a random number. $150 isn't a lot, but I'd rather keep it than throw it away to find that there is no information on her part.

*grin* I just hate paying them period. Whether they're $100 or $500. It's the principle of the thing. The Scots in me cringes every time.

Yeah. You have, like, 6 other people you can ask, along with all of your suspects. Why waste money on just her when there is a 50 - 50 chance that she doesn't have the answer?
