*has scary mental image of Squirrel's whiskers chomping at the bit*
Briefly back on topic (what???), the original post seemed to be suggesting that agencies are being set up just in order to store items, and that these agencies are recruiting detectives who would would otherwise join the 'true' agencies.
Yes, my agency was set up in order to store my gear. It was nothing to do with cost: changing in and out of smarts just takes more time in an apartment. But the whole point was that I don't have the time to participate properly in a treasure-hunting agency, so I decided to go the 'lone wolf' route for a while. Therefore when I get requests to join the agency (which does happen but not often), I say I'm not recruiting and point people at the recruiting board.
So I'd be surprised if people who set up agencies for storage then recruited new detectives. But then hey, if they did, why not? Might even turn into one of enrico's 'true' agencies...

True...it don't make much sense to have a storage full of people. And if a storage gets full of people, it seizes to be a storage...well...unless they are spawns of the main one.
One thing I don't get though: what's with this fobia that there are too many agencyes in Sleuth? If a player wants active team mates, he can go into an active agency. The agencyes that are simple storages don't take the active players away, but simply serve the needs of one.
