Agency Advertising Suggestion

Just another one of my ideas.

I glance at the detectives who bump and create multiple topics to advertise their agencies. In order to decrease duplicate topics (there shouldn't be more than one topic about an agency) for agency advertisement, I realized that a small space below each detective's posts--like a signature in most message boards--would be ideal for advertising space. Not much space, but basically, limited character space (300 characters?), a link to the agency of that detective, that detective's rank in the agency, and a bit of free space to write in. For example, all of my posts could end like:

---------------------------------------

Arkain Detective Agency -- Director
The Arkain Detective Agency was founded July 17th, 2005, delivering reasonable business with 3897 fame and 0 treasure(s) found. Looking for three detectives with at least 1500 experience and the ability to play daily.

I agree with all that was said. The ads should stay on that board only.
I would'nt want to read it unless Im looking for agency or for new agents.
Only thing to do is ask people not to create multipile threads for the same agency, over and over again. But instead bump the old thread till the info on it wouldnt fit anymore, then make new thread.

Another idea rejected. Oy.

But the way I see it, people looking for the best agency aren't going to want to click a few times. They're going to be lazy and not want to click at all. And if they see a significant number of fame or treasures found, they'll jump to join. Yeah, I'm supporting the lazy/tired.

If a detective has any ambition, a few clicks wont hurt him/her. If a detective can't make a few clicks to find about "my" agency, then they pretty much are too lazy to help better "my" agency, like succeeding in treasure hunts, etc. So, I'm very happy with the way it is now :o)

Well, I guess I'm just desperate for useful detectives in my agency. With three daily detectives (out of the seven in my agency), it makes treasure hunts frustrating. And I feel TOO desperate to post a THIRD advertisement. >>

If it helps, I don't recruit on the message board. It doesn't work for me. (check out the last time Mojo's was bumped) Find a way that works for you and the style of your agency. So the board doesn't work for you, there are always more than one way to correctly play Sleuth :)
Keep at it, Luniar. You're way smart so I'll know you'll find a way to work it for you.

and cfm-your no slave driver. Now that old Mr. Mason though!!
