I was just wondering if it really should be possible for a detective to be over 200 days old, with almost 200,000exp. and not have a second contact. Akano has left us for awhile out of frustration. I am a mess. Is there any chance that there is some mistake? I know that the second contact can be difficult to get, but really, this is ridiculous. I am looking for hope, can anyone offer it to me, please?

I have wondered that as well. He is missing his PE contact. That sets up a terrible cycle if you have a string of favors with only one kind of evidence in it, which happens to us all from time to time.

The agent in question, I know she is playing around not getting a certain contact.

But to me 171K or 200K experience, sounds like you should have gotten your contact a LONG time ago.

Yes, he was originally trying for one of two specific contacts, but was to the point where he would take any except one that we have 3 of already. To help offset that disadvantage, I was giving him my cases, solved, so he could get extra favors. He had to have been doing 20-25 cases a day when you counted the extra favors into it.

Just to share my own experience, it took me a very long time to get my second contact too. Because in "those days" (unlike now) it was possible to get 2 PE contacts, or 2 Non-PE contacts, or 1 of each. So after getting my first non-PE contact, I basically quitted all my non-PE favours, and it took me very long before landing my second contact.

Rather ironically, a week after that, changes were introduced so that each detective will have 1 PE and 1 non-PE contact. So my effort was in a sense totally wasted. But really, I have no complaints! :)

That is probably why I think I must rank highest in the number of "quit" cases, too! ;P

Thank you, everyone who has responded. You have given me the hope that I was looking for. I don't know when, or if he will be back. If he is, I know it will be comforting to know he is not alone in his quest.

I still wonder, as you do Jstkdn, if it may not be random after all, but all predetermined. That would be most upsetting!

I have same experience as wayne. took me ages too! and a day after I got the second the new rule came about not having two PE's.

I'll take a look to see if I can't ensure a second contact by aroun 150k. The way the scheme works now, it's difficult to predict.

150K???
Come on!! We cant all be in Sleuth all day..Sorry guys but i think it is not fair on the rest of us that
1) Dont have internet connection at home and thus have to play either from work or in a net cafe
2) Have chosen for the same reason not to subscribe
3) Therefore have only 3 cases per day.

It would take me years to reach 150K experience.
I have been playing Monday to Friday no fail for 2 weeks and i am still on 1300 odd.
I live playing Sleuth and nteracting you all but knowning that i have to wait until 150K for a second contact would take away from the game, esp since without a second contact you cant really solve the very very very hard cases and without them you cant get really get the experience...So i understand that admin probably knows best but it would be a real shame to dishearten us that much...
