I was left with 2 suspect with both a p.e. but could not check their alibi.
One of em has two w.e. while the other has one (w.e.)
Can i safely accuse the first? Or better quit the case?

If you come across a case like that, you can submit the case name and the circumstances to Admin in a bug report. 2 WE=Guilty.

In 2 1/2 years, I've seen many cases where people thought they were sure, and in the end, it turned out to be a case of mistaken note taking. Even I've been certain, and in double checking, I had to blush that I read the eye witness info wrong.

Also its good to remember suspects dont hold there position on the list. So if you uncovered new suspects they can change your list. You say you go by their position... could be that you suspect "moved" :P

Yeah, I'm gettin' on the Reda train here...positions on the list are variable. I've never heard of someone with 2WE not being guilty either.

As to your question about the watch - no, that doesn't matter. The specifics of the WE are just there for flavour; the reason they give is irrelevant.

Jumping on this wagon. As you increase the suspect list, the suspects change positions. 2 WE has never failed me.

Same goes here, I'm sure it was a bug or a note taking error Matteo :)

Well i am assuming bug since i don't want to think i misclicked or whatever.

But I always do things in a certain order, get all suspects out in the open, check all allibi's, check if anyone has heard anything, go over list to see who has and doesn't have allibi's, question all of them against the non/no allibi's then check PE then accuse.

So there is no moving of places on suspect list as i didn't have new suspects, but hey on a bright note its only a game.

And my buddy shady takes care of me anyways.
