Well if not, I'm posting it here anyway LOL

Being a sleuth addict myself, I've recommended this game to several other people (I've even got my dad on here!) and they like it. I was wondering if you ever considered setting up some sort of a rewards program on here, like if a new detective could provide the detective's name and/or email address that referred the game to them, and if they subscribed, maybe the referring detective could get something special? A unique item maybe? I think a free subscription would be a bit much, but maybe there is something available?

If anyone else has any more suggestions related to a rewards program or something along the lines of what I am talking about, post a reply. I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts too.

I think the buddy list has been posted before. But at the time there was fear for popularity contests, the cool kids vs non-cool kids.

I have a friends links section among sleutchat members. And you can see with anyones profile you call up, how many friends they are removed from you. People seem to link the feature, and it hasn't singled anyone out I believe. It hasn't changed how people relate in sleutchat to each other. If anything it sparks conversation in terms of having friends in common.

The one danger I have found in sleutchat with it. Is that some people actually only link their friends (as in my opinion you are supposed to.) Other people just want to acquire as many links as possible. Sort of like "hello stranger, I will link you, if you will link me." But as far as I know there was only one person in sleutchat that pulled that one.

Since this thread is already on the topic of suggestions...

It would be nice to have the option of bribing a townie more than once. Yes, it's expensive, but once a PE or other townie clams, the case is on it's way to doomsville. I think it would be in keeping with the "real world" if all the townies accepted bribes more than once. It would be the Detective's judgement call about spending more money on it or not. If you wanted to make it tougher, each successive bribe with the same townie could get more expensive. Something like an extra $10 each bribe?

I've had to quit many a case where my townies have clammed and been bribed to the point that there's no use in continuing.

In an agency, I don't think there's been any case we've had to quit. With a good agency, all the contacts, all the skills between you and the like, I think nearly all cases are solvable. Except on the odd occasion where you have the client and one other person who dies before giving you a motive -or whatever. And as for favours, I think while they shouldn't be harder they shouldn't be easier.
I guess what I am saying is that it's too bad that townies clam up and being able to bribe them twice makes it too easy. If you need easier cases then you can always go down a level.

Oh, and for the Buddy List, I don't see why it can't just be private. There are details on your bio page only you can see and this could go for your Buddy List. Then the popularity thing wouldn't be an issue.
