I was just wondering could the city people you talk to during a case help you like for instance I had a case my only witness clamed up completely then I went back and she was dead. Of course I can not go any futher but when you talk to the city folk and the give a name can it apear so we can question them making it a double murder increasing your earnings or even if we are good in the fraction they can give a witness to help? just asking cause i so needed this favor completed for the treasure.

That's not a bad idea. That way, everyone would eventually be able to acquire and hold onto at one 'good' contact permanently, right?

Cool thanks. Maybe as far as getting and getting rid of contacts, everyone would be able to change or get rid of just one contact ever, or per month or something... hmmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah thats true greyling's idea is really good, and nothing would be permanent and you get an instant replacement

I propose luck of the draw for the first contact, and for the second contact:

If the first contact is useful (tailor, cobbler, etc), then assign a less useful contact.
If the first contact is useless (priest, waiter, etc), then assign a useful contact.

For people with two useful contacts already, You taketh away.

Fair is fair, after all.

Hrmm... Whatever happens, there should be a grandfather clause to let people keep their two good contacts if they already have them (and want to keep them). They earned them, after all.

(And I don't have two good ones, btw, so I can say that with very little bias...)

(Although I really do like Greyling's idea a lot; you have to swap one out occasionally, but you get to pick which one goes...)

I vehemently disagree with the grandfather clause -- they didn't earn them anymore than others earned two not-so-cool contacts (yullo). :)

All for the equality and the redistribution of wealth. -SG

I think it's best if all detectives are allowed to only have one contact of each type. ie. one from each of these groups

1)Barber/Banker/SM/Tailor
2)The rest

Periodically causing contacts to be dropped would indeed be rather shocking, but if it's happening to everyone, then it is still fair, in a way.

my skills are based on my contacts. If we are to change contacts, we need to add the opportunity to continue to add skills.

Exactly, Chuck.

For our small agency, it's hard enough to cover all the bases between our good contacts and skills. It took a lot of planning ahead. Losing a major contact would more or less steamroll us...
