I like this game and is really intriguing to play as a detective. However, given its nice features, I think the community has to come up with some improvements for a more in-depth detective experience.
I have one proposal that I would like to share with you.
I think that at difficult cases it has to be (gradually) introduce the HOUR of the CRIME or the PERIOD when the crime happened. Thus, when you search the crime scene, depending on your smart abilities you might be notified that the crime occured between 12 and 3 oclock, or if you have a more developed smart equipment the period coould decrese (eg the crime occured between 12 and 1 oclock).
Also, when you check the alibis you have to pay attention to the time of the murder. Thus if a suspect tells you that it was at the butcher and the butcher tells you that he was here between 10 and 2 oclock and the crime occured between 12 and 3 oclock you can't eliminate him completely from ur suspects lists. However if you discover that the same suspect was seen somewhere between 2 and 3 oclock you can eliminate him completely from your suspect list.
In order to provide a solid basis for my proposal, I think it would be also necessary to introduce as witnesses a so-called EYES of the STREET. For example, the detective might find out from the EYES of the STREET (anonymus people) that between 3 and 4 oclock a suspect was seen playing football or something like that. Thus, you can supplement the information given by the townies.
Anyway, my idea is just a starting point for future comments and improvements. Please let me know what you think about it and how could be developed and implemented.
All the best,
Detective Say your Pray

It would be attractive to the unsubbed but subscribing is what makes it more interesting and the added features and the many more things you can do as a subscriber,is the incentive to join. Why make all them extra things for an unsubbed detective? Then there would be no point in subscribing. JMHO

Actually it would probably be more appealing for the more masochistic of the Subscribed. The thing you have to remember with last two levels is that the unsubscribed have both less questions to play with and you don't have the resources of an agency(such as a lab, and contacts). Time of the crime would have most people tearing their hair out if they had to deal with it on the Almost Impossibles. If I weren't subbed and in an agency I wouldn't want anything to do with those cases. Almosts were hard enough without having anyone backing you up.

I don't like change, I hated it when the sidebar disappeared for a while, so i would like the game to stay the way it is.
