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 read down to cfmdec, and didn't finish reading all messages, so what I share may already be covered, anyway, here is how I obtained two contacts needed. When I started "Lone Wolf Detective Agency", we needed another shoe maker, so I created another character for me, Agent_007, and since I only needed the shoe maker, I never solved favors for the BANKER, TAILOR, OR BARBER, but I done all the rest. However, it was during a treasure hunt, that I was doing a favor for the shoe maker, to win a key, that I received the shoe maker contact for Agent_007. Presently, my spouse and I needed a banker for our agency, OMEGA, so he subscribed his character, TEXAN, at which time he asked me to get him the banker. Again, I only solved the banker favors, and excluded the other three majors, and included the other contacts in general, such as: music teacher, butcher, waiter, priest, fortune teller, and bar tendor. These general contacts don't hinder or keep you from getting the major contact needed. However, it was during a treasure hunt, while doing a favor for the banker I solved and won the key, and got the banker contact for Texan. I'm not sure if it helps speed up the process in getting one of the major contacts by it being connected to a favor in a hunt or not, but I do know in both instances I got the contacts desired. I did get discouraged a couple of times and asked Ben, at which time he advised for me to keep doing what I was doing and I'd eventually get it, and I did. Agent's points were over 60,000, and Texan's wasn't alot when he got his second one. Again, I don't know if it matters or not in doing the favors for the shoe maker by solving cases, or doing a favor in a treasure hunt. Hope this helps.

Correction on the last part of my message above:

Again, I don't know if it matters or not, in whether you get the contact you need, by doing favors in general while solving cases, or during a treasure hunt.

It doesn't matter. Only thing that doing it during treasure hunts got me was stressed out

Yipee........ finally have my second contact. He arrived yesterday at 152k. Coincidence? I think not. So *tips hat* thanks to cfmdec for raising this issue, to everyone who contributed and Ben for making the change.

Thank you again to all who have responded. My spirits have lifted a bit. Thank you, Ben, for always responding and making the game always better. :)

I am so glad that others who were going through the same thing have found a relief in Ben's changes! I hope now that Akano will soon experience that same weight being lifted off his shoulders. :) Congrats Geddes! :)

YESSSS !!!!
I solved the incredibly hard favor for the shoemaker BUT all I got was a crummy "Medal of Scholarship"...Sam is sad.

I guess this is another reason subscribe! I'll get more favors!
