there is a great variance between the older players and agencies
and those who came along later...a gap that perhaps is too hard
to close...might i suggest quarterly rounds where the townies are
deleted for all...the older players would still have the advantage of
money, experience points, general knowledge of the game but the
quarterly deletion of townies ( all players having to reacquire the
townie favors every 90 days ) would make the game more competitive among all players and add some challenge every 90
days for the older players...

And Mary, we're not against change in general, just this particular one. It serves no good purpose. And would cause many devoted and long-lived players to leave. I doubt Ben would do anything which would cause so many older players to jump ship.

Mary, you have mentioned twice you are older than the 3 days on your detective page. Would you care to enlighten us as to your former identity?
It has been said before, between the random cases, the random physical evidence, and the random amout of questions each suspect and the 8 townies who are not your contact will answer, there is enough left to chance. Let us keep the one constant. When you complete several hundred AI cases on your own with only your 1 PE contact, then you can rally for a change.

(this is Andrea's alter ego--just to be clear)
Mary, I STILL don't get why you would think this would be a good idea. Loosing contacts will serve no real purpose, and even if it did level the playing field, it would just be punishing those who have worked harder longer.
If you are not a new player, as you claim to be, this should be very clear to you. If you have been here longer, you are more skilled. You want to be more skilled, stay here and play. In other word, "pay your dues", just like everyone else!

Mary, Im sorry you see our response as hostile. I know mine was not meant that way. I just think that chaos is added in many ways already, which have been posted. To take away contacts would be seen by many as punishment, when we haven't done anything wrong. I sincerely hope you continue posting on the boards, and coming up with ways to possibly improve this game. Just because this particular idea wasn't well received doesn't mean we aren't open to change.

I love change....especially up-grades with this game, but i do not agree with the idea of changing contacts. it was hard enough to get the ones i wanted the first go round. do not think i have the patience to start all over again. not b/c i am "lazy" but b/c some of them were hard for me to get. plus i would just end up going for the same ones again anyway.
