I've made a few updates to agency case files today. This only effects people who are members of an agency. Let me know what you think of these changes, and if you run into any problems relating to case files.

1) Favors can now be stored as private case files. Previously, you could not store favors at all. Now, they can be stored as private files.

2) You can now see whether or not your files are marked as private.

3) Detectives cannot open case files if their experience is not high enough to start that file on their own. So, a detective with less than 400 experience will not be allowed to open a "Really Hard" case file.

Oh, forgot to add to 3) that I also agree with Dungeon's point about possibly causing problems when someone with higher exp. needs help from a contact held by someone with lower exp.

I would like to see a #3 in reverse form: An agent cannot play cases a certain level below the level he/she has achieved (I do it, too!). Maybe no lower than 2 levels beneath current level?

It's not Dungeon. It's Dudgeon. And now that I've seen the evidence, I really like point number 3.

Chronestrian, there isn't much point not allowing them to play cases below a certain level. They are already getting punished by the fact that they won't be able to gain much exp, and often gain less money as well.. The only two reasons that anyone would do this is that either they're laying low because of Shady or because they ended up choosing skills poorly. There isn't enough of a benefit from playing under to warrant that.

I do like the accusation block idea to keep them from gaining experience because it still allows less experienced detectives to use their contacts on a case that is above their level

3)how about just taking away the accuse link instead so they cant accuse anybody, but still help out with cases

In response to Akano, here's an OBVIOUS reason some may play easier cases...it's faster to reach another favor by doing easier cases! Perhaps it wasn't so obvious to you, but I know it happens more than you may think.

so THAT is how someone who is one day old has an experience rating of like 8000. hmmm...

I like Fonzie's idea to take away the Accuse link if you exp is not high enough. But if that can't be done I'd prefer that young detectives with contacts be able to help out their agency - otherwise there is not much incentive for agencies to bring in new detectives.

True. If I wasn't able to help out in any cases, I'd be considered useless. There would be little use of me. I second (or triple) fonzie's idea.

I agree with Fonzie also, but didnt I suggest that earlier? lol

I also agree with not allowing lesser experianced detectives being unable to solve the cases... I beleive you should be working up to that point.
