If anyone wants to PM me, I'll be more than happy to send them a msg back with the link!

Aug-2-2007 23:32

PM any of us for a link.

Yeah the directors lounge sound great.

A wonderful external and unregulated, un modified place to post comments about other players where they have no chance of defending themselves, wo-ho fantastic!

What's wrong with using Sleuth boards? Something to hide?

For one, they aren't there to bash people.

It was originally created for agency thieves and such. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)


In a way, it really was wonderful for when we were having multiple agency thieves retiring and going under new names and identities stealing from countless agencies. It was necessary to keep from being robbed of everything.


And why not use the Sleuth boards? --- So we don't have to have pointless he said, she said arguments that no one wants to see cluttering Sleuth Talk. I don't want to see those.

Heh, for once, I agree with you Stooby ;)

As Jojo said though this was set up when there were a LOT of people using multis and stealing things from agencies.
(I'll find you the post :))

However, a lot of people even then didn't think there was a real need for it.
Because Director's PM each other about this anyhow.

I do think that your feelings are fair Stooby and I don't know when so many people feel there is an "inner circle" in Sleuth why this would be bought up now to reinforce those feelings.

I also don't know why it was needed to be bought up in public when people could have asked through PMs.

For the record, I do not agree with having a Director's Lounge, as a Director I could have signed up for this when it started but did not want too. I do though, understand why it was set up and why people wanted to join.

I agree with you Stooby that there is chance for people to defend themselves.
And I also don't think any of this needs to be bought up in public when we have a great new PRIVATE mail system.

I wouldnt exactly accuse it of being "Inner Circle" kind of stuff, being that any director could join. It was just an easier way to communicate than sending 30 PMs to every major agency director. It was started by Logan because we could not (and still can't) post about thieves, etc. on the boards as its considered harassing them or something.

But I see the point you guys are making too. It sucks for people not to be able to stick up for themselves so I think we should be able to have a public blacklist for thieves. :)

lol well I only asked kids coz I honestly don't know much about it myself :) and if anyone hasn't noticed, there's quite a few new agencies out there, who have probably never heard of the mythical and mystical Director's Lounge. That was my only intention. To keep people informed, since all kinds of 'misunderstandings' and wild accusations get thrown around when people think they are being treated like mushrooms (ie kept in the dark and fed crap).

oh and 'PM me for the link' *does* make it sound like a secret society lol. I think there MUST be a secret handshake!

There is a Secret handshake Secret Squirrel. As a director of an agency though, we'll teach it to you. ;-)

As stated above, it was extremely helpful when we had certain players stealing items and creating new identities right and left.

And if you arent doing anything wrong, then you dont have anything to worry about. If Stooby wants me to air his dirty laundry on the public message boards, I will.

Roamie can air anything she wants on the message boards, I would prefer lies to appear here where they can be moderated and kept free of insults and swearing (unlike Roamie's PM's) and where people can defend themselves from false accusations.

A clique of hidden directors discussing personal falling outs behind closed and un-moderated doors seems to fly in the face of what the Sleuth community is about. If anyone has an issue with anyone they can take it up directly with those concerned. If they have issues of cheating or stealing then they should take it up with admin. But to head off and talk behind peoples backs and be free to say what you want about anyone is wrong, hence the board moderators, long may they continue to do such a great job.

And insulting people personally and swearing like a trooper at them and casting disparaging marks about totally unrelated Sleuth members by PM should also not be tolerated.

LOL, want me to post your PMs here stooby?
