Ok i think you shouldn't have to subcribe to slueth because if your not subscribed you don't get to do any cool stuff like traveling!!!

Look, this game is a) fab and b) very cheap for all the fab-ness you get. Serges & co have made all the points about the work that goes into it, so I won't go there again.

If you think this battleknight is better, then go play that. We won't mind.

Awww that's my clean record gone down the drain :)

I just wanted to say if I offended anyone with that last post then I am sorry, that was never my intention.

HC it's very liberating to have been mod-spanked. Wish I'd gotten it out of the way earlier myself :D ( thanks cal. :p )

Any one who likes mystery games should try the 7NK game that is part of the BBC.

Hey, Reese, you're treading on dangerous ground when you say that Unsubs play free. Don't you know there's another interpretation to the term?

For those who are unsubscribed, I know that 3 cases limit is quick to solve, and that NY is the only city, for I, myself, am unsubscribed, however, there are other things I do on this site besides solving cases, boards for instance, if I were busy, I wouldn't be able to type on boards, there are other features that I can do, and I can work on other things on the computer while I'm on here not racking my brain to solve a case and talk to other people. And Yes, I would like to subscribe, but right now living off one income and paying bills it's a bit difficult, I will eventually subscribe someday.

Oh, and it's just as addicting being unsubscribed as it is being subscribed.

I like this game and hope that its around for a long long time but i do agree to a certain degree, there is somethings we can do as an unsubscribed player that many other games would only be available to people with premium accounts but, i think there should be access to more featured mysteries like the old ones or the less liked, this in turn might make more people join.

As for the treasure hunts etc it would be nice if you gave a few premium account out when people reach say 2000 points or something just for a few day's as like a teaser or something, again this might get more people to join.

Lets look at it from someone who has not got the ability to pay for a subscription for what ever reason, like no credit card, pay pal account etc there is very little available in the long run and the game would start to become repetative.

I understand that its not free to run a game which is a shame but i think ifthings could be added to premium accounts that are not here, like advanced cases that would mean suspects been more cleaver pointing fingers at other suspects while trying to hide there own reasons for comitting the crime also for the very experienced of detectives some cases that are timed based, if not solved in say 3 hours or so then the muder escaps and becomes a villan or even an arche enemy of the detective from the case.

This would mean some of the above idea's ie, more featured cases, a chance to go to one or two other cities would be allowed giving none premium account holders a chance to see what he/she would be able to do if they did buy or could buy the premium account for what ever amount of time.

$7 isn't much for 1 month and if i was to buy a premium account i would perhaps buy it for the treasure hunts and villan hunts only not for the featured cases as good as they may seem, so adding a few more of these for free would be better as i doubt 9 out of 10 people join to play them any way.
