I've had a thought concerning the field offices for agents in other cities. Would it be possible to upgrade the office so that it also contains an equipment locker, crime lab etc. This would allow agents to move about to other cities in pursuit of treasures. Obviously this would entail some cost of hiring out a second agency HQ, but it may also make the game nmore flexible. Any ideas?

Skyler - I think its safe to say that you are not exactly an 'average' player. I'd like to hear from the Under-500,000 (experience) Club, since they often are running with only the basic skill set, and represent a pretty large percent of the players. For us, a little locker would be very nice.

Definitely, the very thought had occurred to my yesterday too...how nice it would be to be able to sublet a small HQ in at least one other city. LOL, I had to take a look at Skyler's experience points when I read his comment and thought to myself, well I guess he wouldn't have to pay a bribe. As one of the under 500,000 experience club, I can safely say I'm still paying bribes and some more stuff. LOL

But, and if the option to create a small HQ away from home with locker isn't available, then perhaps

Equiping the Fortune Teller or one other character with Lie Detector Equipment that can only be accessed one time for a price after everyone clams to reveal the TRUTH about ONE of the lies (only one and that's no guarantee to solving your case but you pay for the last opportunity). Just a thought!

hmmm... I'm liking the lie detector idea. Though I'm not sure a murderer would agree to do one. It's not like a private detective has the authority to make them. But then again, that might help you to decide who was the murderer

I like the thought of an equipment locker at field offices but I have to say that I don't have any problems either with solving cases in the outfit Im in. So either way, to have a locker or not, is fine with me :)

The polygraph was first EXPERIMENTED in 1936. I highly doubt the widespread use of them would be feasible in our time period.
