This is a whine ,, only a whine. My last 4 favors have been for the fortune teller. It would not be so bad if I did not already have the
fortune teller as my contact. I am trying to get my PE contact in London and have about 160,000 experience points.

Has anyone else been in a situation like this?

I wish I knew too...one of my officers has been trying for the tailor and shoemaker for 2 months now :(

I know of a system that was once talked about long ago in an agency I belonged to... and we pretty much ruled it out after about 3 months of studying if you could control what favors/contacts you got. But that was long ago, so it may be that something has changed....

However, I stand with Ran on this one: I call your bluff Chronestrian. Unless you can provide sufficient proof (or Ben states it is as you say it is), then I don't think you're right on this matter.

Your 'stats-based' rebuttal is invalid because ERF TEAM was shut down for over 18 months, as I've said before. Also, we don't participate in multi-city hunts. I'll say this though- I made my statement as the #1 ranked agent in an effort to give some enlightenment to those behind me. I will leave each and every one of you with this - when the #1 of ANYTHING offers some advice, don't you think it's wise to listen? ;-) HAPPY SLEUTHING TO ALL, and to all a good nite! lol

Doesn't work Chron... I'm number 1 in my agency and even I won't listen to me... so what chance have you got mate :D

In fact every time I try to assert my number onedness, Paranoid reminds me that there's always someone better out there, and that eventually... I'll just be plain old number two. lol ;)

dude, I'm #1 in the entire site! OK, I'm just gonna put it out there for everyone! Every townsperson in every city has a political affiliation, just like every agent. Know the affiliations....!

Hey, well that's very clever. If you worked that out by yourself (and I'll just take it at face value that it's true) you deserve to be No. 1. Seriously. :)

everything that is 'supposedly' random has a statistical equation. But I didn't work this out, I just observed it. As I said before, Kudos to Ben for making this game much more awesome than most of us realized! I also have charts for many other elements (but those will retire with my agent!).

Chronestrian, I think you are the anointed sovereign of sighs and groans

Well, I only have over 18million points and over 5,700 cases solved, but hey, what do I know? ;-)

Chronestrain, you are by far the most experienced detective when it comes to experience points, but with only 4 contacts divided into two cities, I am not sure you are the most experienced when it comes to contacts, and other city townspeople.
Your ability to solve cases is not in question. The question is, how do you know and what do you know about the other cities and gaining contacts. Especially the contacts and favors for the townspeople we want.
