I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks

1) Funner than a weekend with Batman. Totally gonna cart myself up to the bank tomorrow and get a money order (*is 'unpopular' with the credit folks*) so I can quit flirting and subscribe already, woo hoo!

2) A lot of what other people have suggested will probably only make sense to me after subscribing. But I've seen a lot of people bemoaning bad skill choices, wasted points etc. I'm in that boat too, getting the 'judge of character' and 'sweet talk' skills has given me the unique and utterly useless ability to learn that being tough is usually about twice as likely to be effective as being nice. Burn on me. What about being able to sell useless skills for a fraction of their initial points value, like 1/4 what you paid for them or something? If this idea has been dismissed already, sorry for bringing up old stuff -- I couldn't make it through all 2 years worth of posts!

3) I think it's pretty balanced...have been doing incredibly hard cases for a while now and probably have to quit 1 in 4 or five. I'll see what it's like up a level maybe.

Thanks for the cool game!

for the beginners, they get their very own jr detective kit. complete with plastic spy glass, dust and brush for fingerprints.

The game isnt hard.....earning the money is. I ended up spending $750.00 on a case not worth $570.00. Shouldda gave the client her walkin papers. lol How bout being able to renegotiate the fee, so there's actually chance that we make money. Of course the client would then have a chance to refuse.

I have only been playing for a few days, but I love this game!!

I would like to be able to have more cases a day. :)

As I am still on easy cases to help build experience, it is fairly easy. I expect that to change as I move up.

If you subscribe, you'll get more cases

So sorry to hear you lost your detective weeny, I can imagine how it must feeling to lose a character you've spend a lot of time on building up. But hopefully, once the initial disappointment subsides, you'll want to rebuild your new character - and with the experience you've gained from working on cases with your previous detective and the help of your fellow agency members, I'm sure you'll progress very fast and soon find yourself back at the level you had first reached :)

And maybe if you find yourself in a similar situation again, one of your team mates could help bail you out, and you can pay him/her back later? Borrowing money to pay off Shady is definitely safer than working cases with 2 falses on your record ;)

Sorry to hear you lost your detective Weeny!! I cant say it any better than what Greyling said, and she is exactly right.

For what it's worth, when I first started out, I lost my detective due to carelessness and not knowing the ropes. Altho, I didn't have many skills and exp built up, it was still frustrating.

However, I immediately started over, and I learned from my mistakes from my first detective, and look where it's got me now :o) You can do the same thing, and I know u can do it :) I hope you decide to continue to play the awesome game Sleuth! :o)

This is a very fun and addictive game. I like everything about it the only thing I would do it to make me a life time member so I can play more cases. I also wish that clothes didnt cost so much I cold and I accidentally sold my only pair of shoes. oops!
