What about a very expensive skill (30 skill points?) which gives you information about how many cases left from a favor, or above of a favor?
Opinions?

I also liked the idea of Kasg52. :-)
With that skill, it might be a link that come up on the case page WHEN the twist have occured, which will show you what kind of twist you got?
What if you were desperately searching for a LARRY case?
- it would be SOOOO useful to know if the twist had occured, and was or was not a larry case....

What about a skill that would make sure you did not get the same favor for the same townie within 5 consecutive favors? (must be a always works skill)

Well, I'd love that skill for AVH clues!! :D

As for a skill that counts how many cases you did since your last favour, maybe keep a tally on your bio? It only takes a couple of seconds to do that. (Can you tell I'm not sold on that one? ;) )

I guess that if the skill of getting the "cases-favor-count" would be availiable, I would try to get that skill, while Brasco would probably have no interest in that skill :-)
It's no problem. We are all free to choose which skills we want. There is no rule anywhere that a skill must be seen useful by the whole community?
It's the same with other skills as well... Not everyone wants safe cracking or stress detection or a compact travel kit... ;-) Still we apreciate that the options are there. :-)

My "dream skill" is to be used with underworld connections. I'd like the faction to rough up my runaway witness/suspect enough to answer 1 or 2 questions. As it is now they always come back clammed.

Actually, I would get it, but that's only because I have nothing else to spend my skill points on :P

So an "advanced undeworld connections" Sophie?
Or possibly "deep underworld connections" ?

I guess that ideas for new skills we may aquire in Noir will be interesting if we think that Noir will be developing and expanded.
So perhaps the question to ask would be:
What kind of skill would you see implemented if it were possible?
I guess we need to take into account that the skill won't make things too unfair, at least not if it's not a very expensive skill... ;-)

I really liked that "different AVH-clues"-variation of skill... - but in order to keep AVH's still interesting, and especially matches, I guess that the skill had to be something like: not getting the same clue as last time...?

Any other opinions about skills you would like to see?
(Just to confirm, we have nothing confirmed that the skill would be implemented, but if no-one comes with the idea, we may be sure it won't be implemented... The hope is that Admin apreciate a special skill mentioned, and says "hey, this one I can do" ) ;-)
