Thanks Ben for adding the history of sleuth on the city hall page. This makes it very easy to remember when new additions have been added, and to share these with others.


Thanks again on a great job!

I'd like to see a couple of screen shots of the design of the early versions. I can't even remember what the previous design was. Just the the graphics were a lot uglier, and the tabs weren't there. Either i wasn't there during the change to black, or I completely forgot.

I think most memorable to me were:
- I was a newbie and I just got both contacts, namely the banker and the barber. A few days after getting these GREAT 2 PE contacts, Ben took one of them away.
- The re-design of the layout. With the less clunky pix, the tabbed lay out etc.
- The introduction of Lucy and Larry
- The introduction of better equipment, when the perfume, zoot stuff, canes etc were introduced
- The introduction of the cities of mystery. How excited we all were, and waiting for it to go live, speculating for weeks what we should do with the agency trying to guess how we could best prepair to work the new cities and be the first to be established so we would have an edge of treasure hunting.

Lucy and larry was like christmas. Where ALL of us were trying to figure out what it was. When we made it to Lucy to see who had already made it out there, and who didn't. (how some people got very frustrated.)

I think the intro of the cities of mystery was better then christmas. We went from one little NYC which we worked FOREVER and getting bored with. To suddenly all these new cities, new factions, new equipments, the race track, new real estate, field offices, new hunts, the intro of impossibly hard etc. And for me personally the week of the intro of the cities of mystery, was the same week I passed the honerable Bella Luna and I achieved a big goal I had (which was to be number one for at least a day. Unfortunately Bella had stopped playing a few weeks before, and I approached behind her so quick in the past months before that that I enjoyed winning the competition. Sorry we are not offering no competition at all for those that want to went to reach the top players still.)

I started playing after all the new cities were here, all the factions, etc....so my memory of change is when everyone received shoes. We were all so happy that we didn't have to walk around barefooted anymore. Noone looked at us strange anymore when they entered Sleuthville, to find all the detectives with these neat clothes, but totally shoeless. Them days and nights of aching feet are over, and we walk in comfort. My Clients dont stare down at my feet, and give me this "You poor dear" look anymore. They actually take me serious now!! Yeehawww! ...*grin*

I just remember getting the shoes. I was so surprised! So happy. We don't have to go around the muddy streets and allyways barefoot anymore!

I also remember my horror to log on and see the townspeople tabs gone. I almost cried...

I was so glad when they were brought back with the new graphics. That was definitely rememberable for me.

On a good note, I loved the inclusion of the racetrack. I have lost so much money on those horses, but it is well worth it.
