We all talk about game improvements we'd like to see, new items, clothes, twists mechanics etc

So I was wondering if Ben came to you and said "OK I will implement ONE thing; ONE thing that you think will improve yours (and others if you like) gaming experience on Sleuth right now."

What would it be?

[I'll make the proviso that it has to be about the 'game' and can't be about 'anyone' lol :p]

Mine is simple.

If I could have it right now, I'd ask for a better PM/Message system.

more crimes that would use more deductive reasoning

It would be cool if say the barber was your contact and you somehow peed him off (like accuse him in villian hunt or something) and had a chance to get a different contact once in a while, which would also help agencies that are missing a PE contact in a city. Mix it up a little or you would have to work at staying on his good side if you wanted that contact like you do with the factions.

After just passing by some pirates tonight I started thinking. Always a bad sign, but nonetheless...

I was thinking something fun would be pirate raiding as a new skill. If they stop you and you are tough enough, I don't see why you couldn't get a shot at plundering the pirates - same kinds of odds as hyptnotism / surveillance. You might get some cash, some rum to sell at the bar or just drink in the equipment locker before heading out for another long day of case solving. *resists urge to hit backspace many times*

Maybe something could be set up in Cairo. A special Cairo only faction that could teach you how to loot pirate booty.

Just a late night Sleuth thought.

OOOOOHHHH Tres, I LOVE IT!

Specially for someone like me, that was dumb enough to get Trap Detection. Ugh.

Me too, im in! I love that idea!

New in-city places like that time "Larry the toe" tells you where something is he says some place near another soo.... maybe it could happen

This has been said before a long time ago... but I would love to have a "use contact to identify PE" button. Say you have the barber and a long list of suspects, one click (instead of many) and boom identification! It would make things so much easier...

I really really feel that if you are doing a favour, the person you are doing it for either should not clam, or should have an extended number of questions available. C'mon, I'm doing you a favour, and you aren't going to help?

more pieces of evidence? like... for the butcher a piece of meat (yeah I know)

Anikka that's why I have suggested something dealing with that. Though I'm not exactly sure if I suggested in threads and I don't feel like checking my characters' post history. I think I've only suggested it in its Tough incarnation.

A skill called "Backbone" (if tough) "Logic" (if smart) "Groveling" (if charm). What it would do is get a townie you're doing a favor for to unclam if all other methods fail however if you fail the check you're forced to quit the case. A sort of all or nothing type of skill.
