Wow, Ben! You don't waste any time! I logged off for a bit and when I came back on there was a new line with "transfer your retired subscription" (at least, I haven't seen it before now)

Unless you really cherish your position on the rankings there is indeed no real risk involved anymore with FA's.
I like the possibility to avoid final retirement but only if it involves a certain effort to be made.

Completely agree with Serges and Ran.
Although a good idea, it is way too exploitable.
I honestly believe this was a worse idea than storable favors was.

Serges, thanks for pointing that out. I had forgotten to include one very important file when I pushed the update live.
The system now should leave two false accusations on your record when you are brought back. This is how it was always intended to work.

I think with the fear of FAs and the high price of Shady being gone it will take a little edge off of the game.

I have to say i agree with Roamie, I also think the edge will be taken off the game. Having that worry about three FAs was one of the unique points about Sleuth and now its gone. Sorry.

Thanks for making the revision, Ben. It takes a lot of the exploitability out of the system.
I STILL think the penalty doesn't correspond to the negativity attached to retirement though. At the very most, detectives should get ONE bite at the un-retirement apple. Otherwise people will have no fear about retiring, which I feel takes something great away from this game.
I also would like to suggest something like "resurrection sickness" affecting un-retired detectives, but I'll take one banner at a time on this issue.

from what I'm understanding there will now be 2 FA's on your record when you get reinstated. So you will still have to pay shady, but now that the experience points are lower the price to pay shady will go down.

Thank you, Ben. AraLives will be my main detective, but I had to take the opportunity to resurrect Arabesque. She's still my favourite. :)

Well, I think every change is going to have bugs. Ben will work through them and resolve them as they come up.
I think we need to thank Ben for acting swiftly and implementing a solution to the detective loss issue.
IMHO - If the 2 FA's still remain until Shady is paid, the "edge" of the game is not lost.

Yes, thanks Ben, I think it's good as it stands now.
(Arabesque, nice to meet you!)
