Hello all

I have been playing Sleuth and Shades of Mystery on and off. Although I like Shades, I think Sleuth has more features and more interesting goals.
Anyway, I was wondering if the community in Sleuth is still active/growing.
I am also thinking of starting a agency. How is recruitment?

Thanks

Like all online communities, Sleuth has highs and lows. Right at the moment I'd say we're doing fairly well - there's some new content around which is getting people talking, with more new ideas in the pipeline.

Browse the boards and you can see for yourself what's going on. Whether you can find people in bar chat is going to vary a lot depending on what time you log in. Same everywhere. Also, a lot of Sleuth activity and conversation always goes on in the agencies, so it's hard to judge from outside.

Can't comment on recruitment, I'm afraid. Do you have experience of being in an agency?

It would be easier running an agency if you have a lot of money, especially if it has large headquarters. :)

There are plenty of agencies so recruiting can be very competitive. It all depends on the number of subscribed members looking for an agency versus the number of agencies recruiting at any given time.

My idea is to start small and grow slowly

Oh, by the way it is not always that easy running a larger agency even if you have the money to open one. My advice would be to start out with something small get a few people involved in your agency and build a rapport with them. Then enlarge to a bigger agency, it is so worth the effort. : )

I have question and I would think it's related to this thread. When will Sleuth do some online advertising again? I mean, it was the only way I even found this site in the first place and I think there's always room for growth. After all, more ppl, more subscriptions, more profit, right?
Is online advertising so costly now?

well, I think part of the problem is that Hypothetical has turned its attention to Shades.
Not sure why since Noir is also very good.
But, some online advertising would help bring in new players and such
