I noticed that a number of people are quite "pissed off" that they got skills that have turned out to be useless, a total waste of points. Perhaps there can be some sort of "Skills Marketplace"? Or perhaps a chance to trade skills with the Shady Character or Larry the Toe? This way people who discover they have no use for certain skills can put them up for sale at the said Marketplace, then others who may need or just want that skill can buy it. Special skills may only be sold to those who do not have negative points with the pertinent organanization.

Of course, the selling price should be less than the original cost (& the Shady Character or Larry the Toe can make a profit of a point or two), but at least the seller can gain back some of those hard-earned points.

For example, a Detective may sell Lock Picking or Flirting or Safe Cracking. Another Detective may already be at a stage when s/he needs any or all of those. Could be sold for 6, 2 & 5 respectively (or for some cash), and the Shady Character or Larry the Toe could pass it on for a little more.

While I am sure that eventually there will be more points than what a Detective would know what to do with, it would be nice if a Detective can regain some points at a time when it is needed most. This may lead to less early retirees, which is less cumbersome for players and might (just might) lessen their having to cook up uncouth name :-)
