So, that was pretty painless, wasn't it?

Feel free to post any questions or comments concerning the launch here. What you think about the pricing and the subscription fee. And what you think about the new look. Actually, the new look should be temporary, because my friend who designed the sleuth homepage is going to help me out with a new site-wide look soon.

About the existing Agencies-

No, I won't be kicking out members of the existing agencies if they don't subscribe. Consider it a thank you for spending the extra time testing all the agency code.

I didn't want to spell that policy out before hand, because that might have led to people creating a bunch of accounts and sticking them in agencies, just to hold the space open.

I hope that some of the existing agency members do decide to describe, particularly because you are some of the most active players. There will, of course, be a competitive advantage for agencies with more subscribed players, since those players get more daily mysteries.

I think the new look has a more professional and sophisticated feel to it, while the old one was more pleasing to the eye (just the way the colours went together and things - easier to look at).

$8 for 3 months is cheaper than I thought it was going to be and I think it's a good really good decision for a price. It shouldn't put people off. I think I will suscribe (just came in first, 'cause I was curious about the changes...)

Hi Kay,

Sorry, your browser must not like the paypal "Buy Now" buttons for some reason. Possibly has to do with your security settings.

If you have a paypal account, you can send the appropriate amount to ben@hypotheticalsoftware.com and I will activate your subscription manually. Otherwise, you are welcome to email that address and we'll work out an alternate payment method.

-Ben

I like the new look too now that I purged my cache. Also there should be a suggestions thread in this forum. I have the first suggestion. the person you do a favor for should not clam up during the investigation. He/She would want to help find the killer right.

Yep, that's something I've been thinking about for awhile. It's one of those realism vs. game balance issues. I agree that the person who asked for the favor should not, realistically, clam up, but will that make favors significantly easier? I suppose I could balance it out by randomly making one of the other characters less cooperative.

Actually, I always took it as "the person who asked the favor expects you to do it" and they are too busy to do it themselves :)

Yes, we can imagine that the witness could be too busy to entertain the detective's questions, perhaps. Although, logically speaking, since the case involves a friend of the witness, there should not be such reluctance.

I don't think making a witness "unclammable" is too much though. It's equivalent to having an extra contact for the case. If it happens to be an important witness, then that case will be easier. But anyway, I find most favor cases to be solvable.
