Wouldn't it be great if, in the agency member list, you would be able to see who is on- and offline? It would save a lot of clicking to find out which of your collegues is online.
Also agency strategy would be greatly facilitated, as you would know if your PM's would arrive immediately or next day.

PS....sorry everyone..but I forgot to mention some other important issues. When narrowing suspect's down to the killer, I start with all the suspect with real alibi's, put no by their alibi (no meaning their not the killer); then list the remaining possible suspects with the X's or fake alibis, and you can make notes of the Crime Scene: Hair CH/Curly Hair, BRP-HW/Bloody footprint,Heaven Women, above, and look at each suspect with fake alibi's and mark off the ones that are slim, and have straight hair, that way you have narrowed it down to two or three people.

Now it depends on what skills you have, such as RESEARCH, which eliminates one fake alibi from your list, and whether you're in an agency or not, for agents in an agency that has different contacts can help analze the Threatening Notes, Bloody Footprints, Curly or Straight Hairs, and so forth. Most of the time your case is solved for you, with no need of narrowing it down. I highly recommend that you join an agency, or try to start your own. You do have to subscribe, but let me say that it really increases the amount of fun you have being in an agency and being involved with the treasure hunts and sharing on your private message board within your agency.

In reply to gunn, like I typed, most don't have to do this, and since I've used letters for codes for so long, I don't have to write out much of anything, because I know what I mean. Anyway, I can do a case within minutes, but that's because I'm a real fast writer. I was just sharing. Some have started keeping a note book on thier cases and have stated it's helped.

I would like to further state that I didn't share this to come across like a know it all, because that is not my reason for sharing about this. In fact it's probably useless to the majority of you. I will be the first to admit that I have a lot to learn about this game, and if it wasn't for DL, Greyling, and Kay and Elsey, helping me when I first joined Chicago Agency, I would still be struggling along. I am very greatful for their help, and again I really suggest subscribing and joining an agency that you feel comfortable in. You will not regret it, I know I haven't.

Hi DaRu. I must admit that I, too, have a case book similar to yours. In fact I am one my second spiral notebook.LOL Makes thing ALOT easier. You're not alone. :0)

hehe. I'm fairly new to this game and even I have a "special" notebook now where I write all my info down. I haven't gotten as detailed as DaRu yet, but I'm still just working on Intermediate/Hard mysteries. I guess the notebook is a sure sign that I am hooked hard core on this game. :)
