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?

I like your idea Skyler. That would be a great way to spend the extra unspent skill pts. I hate to admit this but the other day I freaked out when I made a false accusation. I thought I was gonna have a heart attack..LOL...(daru's face turns bright red.lol). I accidentally clicked accuse a person I thought was the killer, but it wasn't.I usually check and recheck before I accuse a person, but this time I thought I had remembered who it was, so I accused but was wrong. I got the shock of my life. I've drilled newbies about never guessing, or taking a chance, then I do it..lol. I was ready to throw in the towel and tell the Shadyman to take a flying leap, when he asked for half of my $3,000,000, dollars. Well, I finally laughed about it, but it still bothers me..hehe. I learned a lesson well, & that is to check and recheck before accusing. The only way I'll falsly accuse is if I fall asleep, or go brain-dead and my finger pushing the mouse button, while on the wrong place. Ok, that's a bit morbid..lol. Anyway, being able to use unspent buy skill pts to get rid of a false accusation sounds cool to me. Hope hope.

PS, I thought being able to do this would incourage the new players to stick around for the long haul. Every added bonus makes it exciting. Ok, I promise this is it....lol.

I like the Shady idea and the travel idea for ways to use unspent skill points.

I love the idea of a pilot's license, as Thaddeus suggested. And Moonshh's white glove idea is swell as well.

Using skill points to pay of Shady seems like a bad idea to me. From what I can tell he has a sliding scale to make it more expensive for you to clear your record.

I do like the idea of either making super expensive skills or making special items that you can only get by trading skill points.

Maybe even making the unbuyable skills buyable, just at an extraordinary amount of skill points. Maybe even up to 500 or 1000 points.

Possibally even add a skill where you can use skill points during an investigation to eliminate a suspect. Make it expensive, why not, but then at least there is an ongoing use for the points after you have a full set of skills.
