Greetings,
Since i've started playing this game, one thing that I noticed is the amount of paper I use to sort out my clues/evidence/witness.
I was about to print some sheets templates for note taking but thought maybe it could be possible to have a notebook in our detective section. You know, it would be a section to go in and jot info and to see all your notes in one section. Then after you are clear with the case, you could clear the notebook and start fresh with another case.
I don't know, just brainstorming, let me know what you guys think.

Later

I also use paper and pen. Although using a spreadsheet can probably save some trees, I somehow find it hard to have to click between browser and program.

However, I somehow feel there is a place for a "notebook" feature in this game. It might not function like real notetaking, but could be something that helps with case solving, or keeping records of a detective's personal statistics, etc. Or maybe the new hunts or features coming with the latest upgrade might have need of a "notebook" feature of some sort.

I think it would be too much trouble to ask an alibi and click to detective to write in notepad. You may as well just click on case and then on the suspect. I am probably responsible for a tree being chopped down with the amount of paper I get through. In my defence, I write in tiny letters.

Greetings,
Thank you all for your input. I've since been playing around spreadsheets and made myself a custom notebook. It works actually well for me.
Have a good evening.

Skyler, it is not nice to brag. ;) Many of us do that too, but it takes a while tp get to that point. :) I used to go through notebooks like crazy!

I keep it in my head as well but recently I've started to make a note taking interface in flash just to see if I could... Almost done.. Linking evidence to suspects is a pain in the...

I set up a grid spreadsheet and just print that and write it out by hand. If someone has a really good way for a notebook though, maybe having it as an item for sale by sleuth would be an idea, but people would have to know that it would work for them and see what it looks like.
