How about adding to the city a gun store.
Then making balistics a toughness skill.
That way we can earn the owner of the store as a contact later on.
and some how maybe use gun powder at the schene of a crime. (to implement this idea)

What do you think?

1) Give me some more suggestions about properties, please.

3) I think that allowing a potentially unlimited number of detectives into an agency would be a bad idea. I already get complaints from newer agencies about the deck being stacked in the favor of the big ones.

Some property ideas,

Underground Military Base: Hidden sixty feet below sea level, this underground lair had previously been headquarters to some top secret military organisation.

Seaside Bungalow: Designed by a famous architect, this predominantly glass-panelled beachside bungalow exudes an elegant, contemporary feel.

Vacated Fire Station: Standing right in the heart of town, this historical building has witnessed many events which have shaped the city's history.

Revamped Castle: Previously converted into a tourist attraction, this renovated castle now house the most modern of facilities, dspite still looking as ancient as it had been first built, four hundred years ago.

^ The firehouse is my favorite of those four; it's the most likely to be found in the city...

A couple other ideas:

* an abandoned cathedral, fallen into major disrepair

* the back office of a bustling brothel (for that uber-seedy gangster feel)

Also, how about running an agency out of the trunk of a car? Make it cheap to purchase, but give it a -1 to skills (to represent the poor working conditions) or something. Perhaps only give it room enough for one or two items and case files...

I addition to Wayne Williams Jr's #2. As well as the detectives basic stats the ability to see if they are logged in would be good.

Hurmph! All you "amateur types" with your "fine theories" and grabbing the headlines! Well I'll think you'll find we "plodding" Inspectors, have our own methods, tried and true, up at the Yard. Sure and steady, that's the race! Why it's rumored the "offical force" might even consider adding a "wire-tapping" skills, similar in "modus", to that of lock-picking, in gaining evidence, "behind the scenes"? Or perhaps those of a "master of disguise" skills by which to re-interview clammed-up suspects, or even as an adjustment in "accessorys before the fact" in the more advanced investigations? Not that your, occassional suggestions, haven't proven of some small use to us in our investigations in the past... However you might say, that it would rather elementary to deduce that a gun shop would also carry knives, as it would seem, in fact, most do? And so to return to your original premise, a gun shop, does have a better "ring of truth" about it than say a weapons store, what?...

I like the idea of being able to see whether agents in certain agencies are online. It would be nice to know who in _my_ agency is online at any given time.

I also have to say that the idea of running an agency out of the trunk of a car is rather entertaining! I'm sure it's been done though. :)

OH, I forgot to add another idea that I had. Would it be possible to make a link from the person's page in the "case file" directly to them? So that we can look at what we know, and then go to interview them, rather than
"case file"->person->map->person
Does that make sense?
