The accusation button is one of the first buttons you see - and you can't undo an accusation. Main concern for me is some playability issues - need go back options on the various pages.

I'll stick a back link in there... I always just hit the app again in my application list on the left. DPI2) There's currently no way to lay down a case. there probably should be. I'm also thinking about adding a way for a game with just journalists to end, maybe by just revealing the killer when the 18th clue about a suspect is revealed.

That is, only if you're supposed to be on more than one case at the same time ;) 2) Is there a way to lay down a case? Somehow I started a case and I'm the only player there at the moment - and since I'm investigational journalist, I can't end the case by accusing the victim. Should it even be possible to start a case if there's only one player working on the case at a time? 1) If you’re working on more than one case, and are done with your turns in that case, you can’t easily switch to the other case - a backlink to the case overview would be nice.

New features include: * Action history so you can see what people have done. * Taking a case shows up in your minifeed now * Your own clues appear under the suspects with their own totals, making it clearer what those totals mean. I also cleaned up some of the formatting. I pushed a couple new builds today. New features include:

I don't know for sure if I like that yet, but it's intentional. Frank 3) Good point Frank 4) Huh. I'll look into it Frank 5) It takes an action point now. That's a change from the paper version of the game. Frank 2) Clues are reduced to an icon when there are more than 5 shared clues for a suspect and for all published clues.

Frank 3) Good point
Frank 4) Huh. I’ll look into it
Frank 5) It takes an action point now. That’s a change from the paper version of the game.

I like how there is a row under the suspects for published clue for each investigator. Some bugs (see screenshot at http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=primesuspectbugsod5.jpg): 1. If there are more than 4 suspects the suspect element overflows in a way that can prevent seeing clues or accusing a suspect (why someone would accuse a suspect with fewer clues is a bit silly - I can think of the case where you have 7 suspects with 1 clue each and someone that round makes and accusation then maybe you would want to pick a suspect you cannot see). 2) Some clues are blank 3) Accusing someone should reduce your action points to 0. I accused someone at 1 action point and still had 1 remaining even though I couldn't do anything with it. 4) There were two public sources available. As the police detective I locked a source and the other public source disappeared until I took a clue from my locked source. 5) I thought accusing someone didn't take any action points? Did this change? Do reporters get to see unshared clues from other investigators? I like how there is a row under the suspects for published clue for each investigator.

Obviously I can't do that with other player's clues because they're supposed to be disassociated from their suspects.

I think they should be in a row under the suspects similar to the shared clues. Feels like the clue you own are disassociated with who they incriminate.

Maybe I'll put that back after launch when there are lots of players. * The mystery list page shows how many players are playing each mystery.
