6 months ago we made a change that severely limits what sends out a witness statement.  Prior to that, a witness was sent out every time someone wacked someone (npc, human, whatever).  You were basically flooded with witness statements all day every day. 

No one cared about 99% of the witness statements because they were junk info.  A player killed a random IA... who cares.  People would sell the player on tyler, player on ia type ones in large quantities because they didnt matter.

When the game shifted to a group at the top who were disliked by so many, the only way they could stay at the top is to kill anyone who possibly could have a gun.  So they purchased witness statements from the warden and compiled a list and had anyone who appeared on it a lot to be killed.

So, we made a change for the betterment of the game to only generate a witness statement under very rare conditions.

Now most witnesses are very serious and most are handed off to the appropriate person rather than just sold in bulk like they used to be.
