12 cases a day and Sean King :)

Sean King is the root cause of many of my misconceptions about starting an agnecy.

12 * 7 = 84

How come someone solves more than 200 cases a week? (so you get to solve cases stored by other officers and if you're the one making the accusation -regardless of whose case it was initially- you're the one that solves the case, right?)

Any other explanation to top scores seen in the Weekly High Scores List?
(and a grammar question: seen in the ... list or on the ... list?)

I read all the sticky posts at the time when I first created my detective raci(had 4 more, gonna retire them some time) but I guess such questions don't have answers in sticky posts which are kind of a summarized version of the Sleuth Help. Thanks.

(2nd grammar question if which qualifies the sticky posts does it require a comma prior to it, in between the two words? is there an ambiguity in my sentence?)

You quit the case, it goes on your record. Same goes for false accusations. Basically, whoever ends the case, gets the mark on their record, and ONLY that person. The original detective does not face the penalties since they did not solve the case.

Aww. Yeah. That was a stupid question, I realize. The conditions of false accusation and xp loss have an if and only if relation anyway.

I tend to forget the connection of the rules of the game, it seems.
I still need time for it to sink in, sorry :)

There is also favor cases you are forgetting about. 12 regular cases a day + 3 or 4 favor cases a day.

No, Ima I guess favor cases don't count.

Because the number of cases stated in the weekly high scores list doesn't change after you solve a favor case, I've checked that out before asking,

plus let's say you have solved about 240 cases this week, like Sean did (more than that, actually)

240/4=60, 60*3 = 180 and 180 non-favor cases is a score well above that which you're allowed to solve weekly (84)

Or let's put it this way, a detective can solve a maximum of 7*12*4/3= 112 cases/week.

said another way, you get to solve other people's cases and unlike favors, these count in the list.
