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

This is just a suggestion, 1 more cases per day might make you some business, apart from that admin your the genius, you basically put in every detail of what it should be like in real life situation into the game. I should say that this is the best game out of all other web based or text based i've played before. like omerta.
proud of ya admin keep up the good work.

If it wouldn't be too much of trouble, perhaps providing more alternative ways to subscribe. For me, the price of subscribing would be fine as it is, but I really don't trust PayPal and don't want to send any money via mail as I live in Europe.

I sent money when I lived in Korea. Cold, hard, US cash. I did this 2 or 3 times. It always got there. :) Maybe put it in a card or something?

1. very fun
2. bigger agencies
3. only too hard when all 4 of your pieces of evidence are the same type

1. extremely fun (and addictive) :)

2. I can think of a couple things. First of all I was thinking maybe for the
favors you could switch your contacts every now and then. Like, if you
have the tailor as a contact and 3 other people in your agency have the
tailor as well. It could work the same basic way contacts are generated
in the first place, but instead of saying "whenever you need help", it
could give you a choice. Like if you do a favor for the barber and you
have the tailor, it could say something like "to switch your contact to
the barber click here...."
I hope that made sense. I tend to ramble.

The other idea I had has to do with traveling expenses. I was thinking
maybe there could be some sort of a "frequent flyer program" or
something like a pass that allows you to travel anywhere a certain
number of times for a set price.

3. I do not think the game is too hard, but I hate losing all my turns
simply traveling.

I agree on the Contacts idea.

I think that they should stay your contact for 100 cases (just to pick a number out of the air) and then they get tired of answering all your questions. It would keep everyone on thier toes, always something new to look forward to.

It would also create movement in the agencies as the balance of contacts is always changing.

I thought movement in agencies was bad. We all know what happened last time :)

I like it...I am having fun!

but it is becoming very slow at times (not just when someone clams or the locked door.)

one more thing...
the messaging system - is there anyway to improve it? i was sitting down reading a message from someone when i completely lost it b/c someone else sent me a message.

just thought i would ask...

The game is brilliant and loads of fun. Having been a programmer before, everytime I play the game I get a headache thinking how you are managing to code all this, especially with numerous newer features with each difficulty level.

The game is pretty slow at times but I can understand the load with so many unsubscribers like me. Could we be allowed to own more gear (without having to sell one for another all the time).

It would eb fun to be kidnapped by suspects at times:-) Maybe then get more evidence about them.
