Feel free to answer what you like, it would be most appreciated. I promise that I tried to find answers for these.

1. What level should Newbies be playing at? Should we stick to a level where we can routinely solve the cases or is it better to challenge ourselves (even if it means a high quit rate)? Does playing lower difficulty levels negatively affect your ability to accumulate skill points?

2. Can the faction skills such as hypnosis be used on both townies and suspects? How useful are these skills in building a detective? Given the choice between a faction skill that complements your character's archetype or basic skills that will make you more rounded, which will get you farther faster?

3. Does each suspect have a set number of questions they will answer or will they answer more questions depending on how tough/charming you are? Say for example, you were only 88% charming to one person, but 126% charming to another will the latter answer more questions for you?

4. Does an empty appointment book always mean "no alibi"?

5. In detective agencies, is a "crime lab" required for other members to work on your cases?

6. When you receive a 1st contact in one city, is it better to move to other cities to acquire other 1st contacts? I understand that 2nd contacts are based, in part, on exp. points, so do you tend to get all of your first contacts before you start getting second contacts?

Any advice on these topics would be most helpful! Thank you!

Thanks everybody for the advice. It looks like I'll be on a favor hiatus. Hopefully, it's not too long, as I'd hate to see my current clothes get too worn :)
