Ok most of you probably dont know. Let me fill you in on my London troubles............It started a few years ago when I subbed the first time. I wanted to solve the doomsayer trilogy. I did. but I have been in cheery ole london for the most part since then doing cases after case favor after favor. Guess what...........yep. I got one contact there so easy that was my WE contact the fortune teller. I have been trying since then to get my PE contact. Why cant I get this @#$# contact? whats the secret? anyone who knows please help me. i have almost lost all hope of getting this contact.

Are you trying for a specific PE contact? Meaning, are you also quitting favours for other PE townies? That will make it take a bit longer, obviously. And what level cases have you been doing? The highest you can, or are you going more for easier cases to get them done and get to the next favour faster?

You'll get it, Charlie! :D

It just takes patience Charlie. You'll get your PE contact eventually :-)

Anikka, no I'm not trying for a specific one any will do. I have tried doing the hardest I can and I have tried doing the easiest I can. Neither method has really worked.

I know your pain! It took me forever with 2 of my detectives to get the London PE contact and I'm not picky either. It'll happen and it will probably be the tailor or podiatrist.

Charlie I JUST finally got mine today so I feel your pain!

Charlie, try doing what Anikka hints at: Doing easier cases only to make sure you don't fail any. Avoid quitting cases at all costs (faction standings may suffer but you can fix that later) and solve your favours *carefully* to make sure you don't fail any of those either. If you manage to solve everything (everything, yes, as in 12 cases and 4 favours) for two or maximum three days I'm sure you'll get it.

Whatever you did to make London hate you, apparently I did to make Shanghai hate me! It's random so it's really just the luck of the draw. This is my second time in Shanghai, and I've done all my favors for 4 days now but no PE contact. :( We'll get there eventually Charlie!!

It really is quite random. There is a higher chance of getting a contact once you pop over 100,000 or is that 1mil, I can't remember. You can be lucky and get them all like dominoes, or oyu can get stuck. I have found switching cities and working on another city's contacts (if oyu have a city left) to be a good thing to do. Not coz it changes your chance rate, but because it gives you a break from the city you're in :) and a chance to calm down and let go of the contact rage :)

It can take a loooooong time but it will eventually happen. I finally got my Shanghai PE contact and even the one I wanted!!! Woo hoo!!! :)
