The only thing quitting may hurt is your pride but that's about it :) Mine has been hurt alot lol;)

I bet if there were loser statistics on how many cases quit, I would be a sure winner. At some point, if cases would show up that had no evidence with my contact.....I would quit it right away. :)

well jstkdn, im sure you've completed a few more cases than the average detective too! It hardly matters how many cases you quit! :D

If you quit all your favors trying to get one in particular, you will be cash strapped for sure, since you won't get the cool gear to sell.

If you want the priest, you don't have to quit PE favors (Barber, Banker, ShoeMaker, Tailor) because you will get one PE contact and one non-PE contact.

i wonder how dimitroulis2 got as far as he has. He obviously hasnt read the faqs or help very well.

i suspect he was trying to ask a diff questn. he actually has got a contact (banker) but he is confusing concepts and simply doesnt know contacts from suspects from witnesses and the rest.

he's not alone though. i have walked over to the recruitment thread and had a look before. it is amazing how many eager beaver non subscribers are playing a detective game yet cant read simple rules.

Shroud, really, there is no need to be so unkind. We are all learning around here. And all questions about the game are always welcome.

yeah maybe my post sounded a bit harsh but my point is valid. for a game with an emphaisis on reading...

well perhaps, but when i first started I didnt read the rules. I picked things up as I went along. You make some mistakes, but thats part of life. The whole point of the newbies message board is to help people out if they're having trouble!
