Tell me about money...

I seem to be plagued with guilty clients.

I've been solving very very hard cases with pretty good frequency, so my score is going up, and consequently its getting more and more expensive to wipe out the two black marks on my record -- the total money required seems to go up almost as fast as my cash reserves.

So I was figuring that I should go after pickpocketing. But someone told me that "money is everywhere in this game", and that I would be better served to go after skills that will enhance my actual case-solving abilities.

So my questions.... where is all this money? are my current troubles just temporary, and I'll soon be rolling in it?

Well things are looking up despite the guilty clients. My favors used to net me only $800, and now they seem to bring me $1600. The next favor should put me over.

I have been doing my favors when they are available, and I have learned my lesson with the false accusations -- the first one I didn't realize it was false, and the second I realize now was not worth it (it would have been worth it at the price it was then, $4000, but at $12000 it is certainly not.

Be glad you learned that restraint at this level.

Another thing that helps (because you are already subscribed, and really who doesn't want to be) is to join up with an agency.

They can help you with funds if you need it, and help solve the harder cases so you earn your skill points and can successfully tackle those favor cases as they get tougher.

"Be glad you learned that restraint at this level."

For real...my last visit to Shady cost me over $300 000, and that's not even close to what some people have had to pony up!
