After about 400 days with sleuthing, i have all skills availible in the game (necesarry and not so necesarry skills). So here i sit with 214 unspent skill points - AND I WANT TO USE THEM. Cant we trade unspent skillpoints in money or something..............

Yay, cfm! Keep the white glove idea alive!

I have to admit, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw this post earlier...

For those not in the know, this is an idea for being able to search a crime scene over again - - especially, say, if you are taking over the case from a less experienced member of your agency who doesn't have all the evidence skills.

Thats a great idea!

Can it be just one glove and be all sparkley?

It'd be nice i have 384 unspent skill points with nowhere to spend them.

How about a range of new but really point-expensive skills? The white glove idea is good, but maybe also teaching, so you could pass on a skill to another member of your agency. Or pilot's license, to make travelling between cities cheaper and/or quicker. Or even forgery, so you could get away without really having to pay rent or bribe witnesses.

As a woman I certaintly love shopping and spending money..hehe. Ok, I'm in the same boat with Skyler. Have lots of unspent skill points, so I was wondering if this would be a possibility. What about having the choice in giving a certain amount of "Unspent skill points," for tickets to travel," instead of three cases, or cash. So either pay the cash and a certain amount of "Unspent Skill Pts.," or "Three 1-4 cases, whatever the amount stipulated as of now, plus several Unspent Skill Pts., instead of cash?" This way the older slueths could use them to get rid of them, and of course use some to buy special skills by the special groups in the different countries. Just a thought!

Personally i think we should be able to give some skill points to shady when we commit a false accuation. instead of cash give him like a hundred skill points.

Skyler, with Shady's prices as astronomical as they get, I think this would be a good solution. The only people who have way too many skill points are the same people who can't afford to pay Shady's ever-increasing costs, I think...

However, they are also the people who have millions :)

Not always true...depends on the amount given to the agency and on the number of times Shady demands they cough up. I know detectives with more skill points than they can use but without the personal funds to travel from Shanghai to NY...it would be a good option, I think, as there is really nothing else to do with all those skill points. Giving them to another member of the agency is tempting but not ultimately good for the game, I think. Using them for travel isn't a bad idea either, but I have to admit the Shady idea is my favorite so far....unless, of course, we're talking white gloves : )

i dont oppose the shady idea.
So what would be a fair amount of skill points to pay off shady?
