What is it supposed to mean when you encounter the look-a-like of your victim running around town?

This one eludes me. (just as proper spelling tends to. hehehehe)

Thanks!

It just means that your victim is not really dead. You still have to find out who "did" it, though. Just go about your normal crim-solving procedure and you should have no trouble.

STORY PLOT SPOILER WARNING Aren't there a couple of plot elements possible to this one? I think one is that your victim isn't really dead, and the other is that your victim /is/ really dead but has....guess what! Yes, an evil twin!

Orbitrux is right, though. Regardless of the storyline, solve as usual.

The doppelgangers that worry me are when I am solving a crime and one of the suspects looks /just/ like me. Don't you think some of the other suspects and townspeople would notice this and wonder? Or my "twin" suspect and I would be startled when we met?

And yet, it happens all the time...

I'm thinking that someone might have slipped me a cig with hashish when this happens. Or, my character needs to cease emulating Sherlock and put-down the crackpipe!!

I know what you mean Dr. Say, haven't I seen you somewhere before?? ::raises the left eyebrow::
hehehe

Falco! My Neutral identical triplet! (I already had my evil triplet locked away.) This town has only 12 different faces, not counting people who get their own faces (and they are put on criminals)

What is really freaky is the amazing resimblence my avatar is to my real life face! I even used to have the hair cut!

I never had the haircut, but my 5 year old thinks it is me. lol

I've seen a lot more than 12. The first couple of days, there didn't seem to be that many. Have they been adding new faces??

Have you recognized Roddy McDowell? There was someone else I recognized too, but my brain is blank - as usual. :-P

Funny, my sister doesn't have a 5 year old!

There are 12 you can pick from when you start a character, but you can e-mail Ben a photo and he will make that your avitar, but he can also use the photo for suspects.
