Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Game Announcements

Jul-7-2010 10:23

We've decided to move Noir into 2008 and take our first tentative steps towards the social web.

You may or may not have noticed the "Recent Activity" box on the homepage. For now, that's just going to be a space for displaying Scripted Mysteries that people "Like". A loose rating mechanism that people have been asking for for awhile. Also, it's a way to give those mysteries a little more exposure to the outside world.

If this goes well, we'll add ways for people to like message board posts and agency pages as well.

Users are now given the option of liking an SM when they start it and when they end it. If you want to Like an SM that you've already completed, clicking on that mystery in the Case page now takes you to a detail page with more information about the mystery before actually starting it. Give it a try.

-Your friendly neighborhood Admins

(If you all had Like buttons on your foreheads, we'd totally click on each and every one of them.)

"Cordy, keep in mind that you never see anybody's name in those facebook widgets unless they are friends of yours in FB."

Not strictly true - you also see the names of friends of friends in some cases. But I take your point. The problem is that Facebook has also started inviting you to share some things with your entire email address book and I have a feeling that might spread. But like I say, I'm feeling a little over-sensitive about it at the moment!

"I don't think any of us wants the game to become Farmville: Noir. "

LOL!

'Oh no! Cordy has found this poor little abandoned arch-villain. He's a long way from home and needs to get to Shangri-La so the Prince can scold him for being naughty. Will you help feed him on the journey?'

Don't give me any ideas!

Hey I like that. Can I get a bonus charm point if I rub your Rasputin's Egg?

Only if it hatches...

Lmao! You guys are hilarious.
But yeah, I don't like Farmville. >.>
If you're not sure about the whole "facebook privacy" thing, you can check by going to "Account"" -> "Privacy Settings". Then just review what you want to be "Friends Only" and such.

What? Facebook! Oh no! That kills the whole idea of being incognito and I was having soooo much fun starting out. Can we skip on "like" or "not like" and go on our merry way? I would like to try a SM sometime soon, but I don't think I want all my friends and friends' friends to know what kind of shenanigans I'm up to. BTW Cordelia's satiric quote in re: Farmville was hilarious and brilliant - so we should give her extra points. ;)

Yeah of course. You don't have to click anything.

Okay, I'm just a bit confused here. (Yeah, I know, I'm slow in the head. Hey, I'm entitled. ;-)

1. Are posts from here going up on our Facebook 'walls' or whatever they call 'em??

2. What, exactly, is getting posted??

3. Are y'all only doing 'Like' stuff, or are y'all doing actual posts/comments??

(Incredibly bewildered here. Sorry. ;-)

OK so if Facebook was working for me at the moment I would copy paste for you what goes up on your wall. You can post comments on someone's wall about that mystery, but there is not a page per se where you can leave comments about a particular scripted mystery. Well that's how I think it works.
