Ok I think this might be a pretty cool idea.How about Once an alibi checks our as fake or real it gets put by the persons name so we don't have to write it down or go and look again after we bring all thw suspects out. Or you could make it so once you determine if someone is a suspect or not it goes into two different lists a fake alibi list or real alibi list. or even a third list if you can't determine weather that person is real or fake because they clam up on you. Or how about if you don't like any of thos two ideas the link to the fake persons name changes color if they are found out to be fake.

I will disent here also.

I know that such automated note taking would be very helpful. Very helpful.

The last three times I have had to pay Shady had nothing to do with my ability to solve cases, but my abilty to keep my notes clean and in shape.

Yes it would make my life easier, Yes it would make the game easier, No it would not make Sleuth better.

I agree with Moonshh abut suspects being added all over the place. Really sucks...makes it look messy.

I guess what most people are missingthe point of the game: role-playing. You BE the detective. Its not about being easier, or taking notes or not. If u prefer the notepad, i dont see why it should be implimented for everyone. You the play the game the way u want to. If the system were as fully automated as some of u suggested, then i guess this game would be another click-click game(not that it isnt, but this has DEPTH...haha...bias). Now where's the fun in that?

I do agree however that it is rather frustrating having to go back and forth between pages (i dont take every piece of info down...just to much). I do have some recommendations for this problem
1: Use tabbing. I use Netscape, and tabbing helps loads when tracking down posible suspects. Just keep the tabs open, and refresh when u get new info.
2: This ones on the admin. Have an info box appear when the mouse is over a suspect like that thingy when we check our equipments...the name appears. i think this would help, but have a strange feeling the implementation would be hard.

And the thread continues.

For me with the notepad thing i dont really care, i just memorize who has fake alibi's and who doesn't, maybe i have good memory.

I still stand by what I originally said. I'd like this feature.

I'd rather just be able to go to the case file area, see all of the pictures at once and see the words fake, real, or none for alibi under the pictures so I don't have to look at every single picture to figure them all out.
