For the cheerfully pessimistic detective!

1. Your client did it.

2. Buying Advanced Thread Analysis means that all threads immediately disappear from the crime scene.

3. The question you need answered most is the one the witness clams up on.

I'm sure more experienced players can add to the list. Care to have a go?

You click on Accuse Suspect instead of Ask for Alibi, and then Yes [accuse suspect] instead of No, and you get a false accusation and have to pay Shady. (It was late...) Or you play as two characters, and use your agency only to store equipment and case files, and you move your agency to a different city but forget to leave yourself [or your other self :s] enough money to travel to that city. *twitches*

Yes but I can't do charm. When I question, I use Toughness. But do I get any equipment for that? Nooooooooo. Jerks.

When the suspect cleared by Research clams...

oh when you have suspects, they all have the same alibi and the townsfolk will only account for two or three.

The more compliant the suspects the more sinister and bivalve-like the townsmorons will be.

The more confusing the title the harder the mystery will be. (The Obfuscating Mystery of the Phantasmic Spook would take nearly a whole month of non-stop playing to solve and you'll still end up accusing the wrong guy and ending up in front of Shady or the Inquisitor's Rack.)

I have a couple.

If you have 200,000 experience but you haven't been able to get a PE contact, you will always get a string of WE townie favors even though your agency feeds you cases non stop.

When you finally do get a PE favor the person in particular will give you a Rasputin Egg instead of becoming your contact even if it is your 500th successfully solved case. *then remembers Ben made the likelihood of getting your missing contact much easier once you cross the 150K threshold*

Your agency tells you to unequip, so they can borrow your clothes. They then tell you to equip the rasputin eggs. Then they kick you out and sending you pm's such as "How are you're eggs doing? Keeping you warm outside, while you're alone forced to live on the streets?" or "If you tell Ben, or anybody about this we will bribe the moderators to make you retire, then ban your IP!"

Would someone actually do that?

What's a Rasputin egg?
