I intend to sub and I know that one big advantage is to join/create a detective agency. However, I was wondering if that is very time consuming. You get 10 cases a day and treasure hunts... Right now, I don't have much time to spare. If I can't make the 10 cases and the treasure hunts, will I let my fellow agents down? How does it work?

James,
don't worry too much if you can't play all your cases in one day. With the new cities, you may use up to 4 cases just to get from one town to the next, depending on if your agency wants you to go somewhere for a treasure hunt
lately, there are times when I only get a chance to play on the weekend, but that's ok with my fellow agents...we're a no-pressure agency
Don't be afraid to ask what is required of you before you sign up with the first agency that comes along, then pick the one that best fits your abilities/schedule...but most of all, HAVE FUN!!

Thanks, Orbitrux & Connor. Good to know that you can be in an agency and still play only on weekends sometimes. I'm managing to play daily, but I'm not sure if I can keep this rhythm... And it's just 4 cases, counting favors. I was under the impression that you had to fill a daily share.

James, it really depends on the agency. Behind Closed Doors would welcome you to join and play as much or as little as you like. If you don't play all your cases every day, you can share them with your fellow agents, some of whom can't get enough. There are other mellow agencies out there, too. If you post on the Detective Recruiting Board, you'll get snapped right up. Just be sure to subscribe first...

Hi, Falco! I already like the name "Behind Closed Doors"... Thanks for the reply.
