I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks
-Ben

Jennifer Massoli's advice is key.

Real alibis can be useful also. Don't scratch out the names of people with real alibis. No, they are never the killers, but they can be of help.
Example:
Suppose you connected suspect A with physical evidence, maybe you even have a witness pointing at him, but you have no way of checking his alibi. Will you risk a false accusation?
Solution:
Try to connect people with real alibis with the rest of the physical evidence! Supposing you have hair and thread analysis, you are pretty much guaranteed to have found the physical pointing to the guilty one. (actually, it *NEVER* happened to me to not have found physical evidence for the guilty suspect)
If you connect all of the rest of your physical with innocent people, you KNOW that suspect A is the one to bust.

Practice the above with caution. It's only useful at the harder levels where the number of real alibis is less than the fake ones. Don't use it as an elimination, but as a verification process.

I have one thing to add to Kouraditsa's advice. Some people may be mislead by the fact that there is ALWAYS physical evidence pointing to the guilty suspect. While that is true, it does not necessarily mean that you will ALWAYS find that piece of evindence. If your detective either does not have Basic Thread Analysis, or Basic Hair Analysis, you are not guaranteed to find all the evidence that exists.

That said, it is still a useful strategy, and even has application when dealing with witness evidence, rather than physical evidence.

On Max Powers's comment about lock picking: I really do not think suspects whose locks I pick clam up any quicker. I have not noticed anything like this. I do think lock picking equals one extra question with that suspect - otherwise it would be of virtually zero use? This is my experience of the thing.

That is correct, Kitten. Using the Lock Picking skill does not effect how many questions a suspect will answer. It is essentially one free question for any suspect who starts out not home. You just don't have the opportunity to choose which question you're getting an answer to.

Cool. I haven't had it very long, so it may just be a coincidence. Thanks.

1 - the game is really fun
2- the total number of cases for those who can't subscribe should be bigger like 60 or 70% of the cases for those who are subscribed... u have to think that there are lots of foreing players that cannot pay with USDollar or don't have an international credit card to use the paypal system!
An other point is the agency... i think that u should have to be subscribed to CREATE an AGENCY, and not to JOIN one!
3 - the game is simply perfect, a lot of fun and a lot of thinking!

bye

1). very fun, i can see this game making alot of ground given time for constant improvements

2a). delete your detective? i think this will be quite popular and it would save you memory (e.g. i've got 2 accounts and would like to delete one)
b). ability to pick your own avatar? (e.g. link to an avatar on another website or upload ur own pic?)
c). more variety in cases, items, shops...etc but i'm sure this will come with time
d). more social interaction (e.g. perhaps an ability to pay another detective to solve a case for you? make this a real time payment to avoid ppl solving cases with more than one account?)

thanks

Justice,

Your situation where you wanted to delete a detective, to get his name completely out of the system was unusual. In most cases, people ask me to delete characters because they want to start over with the same name. I'm hesitant to do that, because I like the idea of retired characters sticking around in the high scores lists and message boards, for posterities sake. There is also the issue of, if a detective was the one who posted a message on the boards, and the user then deletes that detective, what would happen to that post, and all of it's replies? Sticky.
