Hi guys. I've just been working a case - got a fake alibi, a witness statement and a piece of physical evidence all pointing to the same person so I wanted to make an accusation. However when I went to do so, I was not given the option to accuse that particular suspect. Although she was my client, I was sure she was the murderer, however as I could get no further, I had to quit the case or run the risk of making a false accusation. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks for your assistance.

My sense is that the caberet is fun but probably not worth the $500 esp. for newbies. Unless you have a LOT of cash to spend on the goodies (the dress is $64,000 or something close), its a pretty stiff cover charge for a chance to write on their message board and get snubbed by Lucy. I'm waiting to see learn the benefits of talking to Lucy (when someone finally gets her to talk) before I become a regular. Its fun, but hasn't proved its usefulness yet.

nik, looks like you need to quit the case. About Big Lucy, I know one of the secrets to get to talk but I'm not telling!!

Speedster, you'll get contacts after you successfully do the right number of favors, which varies. But it shouldn't take too long before you get your first.

As far as the clamming goes, it's good to build up your toughness OR charming skills ASAP and not work on cases that are too hard.

You might be smart but your character isn't necessarily as skilled as you are. So don't play the hardest cases you can open; stay down a level or two until they become consistently easy for you and you get your skills up.

Since you are tough, get all the levels of Interrogation as soon as you can, as well as Intimidation for the townspeople.

how come i'm not earning any skills points now--even though i'm working on intermeidate cases??? i've solved 2 --2day & yet earned no skill points? :(

As your experience increases, you get less skills points on a certain level of cases. Even though you got skill points on intermidiate before, you need to solve more of them now to get a skill point. Or advance to hard.
