Last night I spoke of some ideas I wanted to discuss with everyone on how to give a little kick-start to Sleuth. I would like to share these now and hear feedback. These things are not required of the Admin, but things we can do as a community to try to get things flowing again.

NOTE: Please do not bring up the development team. That ship has come and gone. This post is aimed purely at community-oriented initiatives, not changing the game itself.

Also, I would like to note that many players have been doing some really good things around here. The contests for free subs, ctown's radio show, AVH matches. I do not mean to discredit any of this. It's all wonderful. I just think we can do a little more :-)

#1 Advertising - Let's get out there and spread the word. This is a great little gem that we have found and there are probably others that would love it as much as we do. Do you belong to another internet site? A Group for Nail-Biters with Herpes? Post on the message board about Sleuth! (well maybe not that, but you get my meaning) Let others know outside of Sleuth what a great place this is. I would especially target (for Noir) adults who enjoy logic-type puzzles. That is what kept me addicted to this game for so long.

I agree with SS and everyone else who's said that we could do with knowing what Ben's intentions are.

Having said that, it's possible that Ben's intentions for Noir are going to be related to how profitable Noir is for him. So working on the advertising in the meantime might not hurt.

(Cordy demonstrates her ability for fence-sitting once more...)

I confess I'm a bit worried about the future of the game. If you go and look at the Hypothetical Software website it doesn't exactly look like a hive of activity.

I say we have Ctown dance live on a web show in a speedo to promote and entice new recruits...Secret Squirel could dance around as well in a toga :)

toga's no good for me, nowhere to keep my nuts :p they'd just spill onto the floor.

Maybe Stanley could help you out with that.

Squirrel, as Somebody famous once said, When all else fails, Punt....

Hike.

Talked to Ben today.

We should be hearing from Ben about what he has planned and where we go from here within a week.

Hope that helps. ;-)
