Is the phone thing really necessary? I mean it seems that as son as you gain something for one person, you lose it for someone else. And then, the person you gained, just get a loss again. I do not understand why this contacts power bar thingy (I don't know what to call it properly,) needs to be there. It's a shame because it spoils the game. It goes up so VERY slowly it could take years before you can get anywhere! Apart from that it's a really good game. Also, it's a shame that Dr. Bledsoe looks too much like a man!
