As of now, you should not be able to get two contacts that both help with physical evidence. Nor, should you be able to get two contacts that don't help with physical evidence. So, if your first contact was one of the evidence experts (Barber, Tailor, Shoe Maker or Banker), your second contact will not be another person from that group. Conversely, if your first contact is not from that group, your second one will be.

To even things up. I'm also adjusting those detectives who already have two contacts. I'm reassigning the second contact of those of you who already have two, if they are either both evidence experts, or neither evidence experts.

Does that make sense?

A higher level of difficulty would be nice, perhaps not increase the number of suspects but increase the number of suspects with fake alibis?
but what would be great is the favours levels going right up to ridiculously hard...that would be a nice challenge

I agree with Chuck. I think there really isn't a need to increase the difficulty level yet. Since the new skills are in the works, I think we should see how those impact the game, then consider if we should increase the difficulty.

I agree, there's probably a good way to increase the difficulty without increasing the tedium factor. Maybe the killer could throw bombs at you and drop 1-ton wieghts from above a la Carmen Sandiego? =-P

The tricky thing is that to this point increasing difficulty has forced me, in fun ways, to come up with new strategies. I don't see how adding more suspects, making people clam up more, etc. will be more fun -- it'd just make things harder. So I think a new difficulty level might be helpful just so we can earn more points, but it won't really increase the fun factor. For that, probably ballistics skills or so on that apply only to a new level of difficulty would be good.

And more featured mysteries!!! (Yes, Wayne Williams Jr., I know I too need to write one ...)

I am so glad I missed the days of two non PE contacts. And I'm even more pleased I wasn't one of the ones who had 2 PE contacts and lost one.
