Hi,

I want to give everybody fair warning. There will be two rule changes that effect agency favors and treasure hunts made in the next few days:

1) Detectives will lose any favor that they are holding when they join an agency. That is, if they have a favor available to them that they have not yet started, it will no longer be available after joining the agency.

2) Detectives will not be allowed to join an agency if they are currently working on a favor. They will be required to finish or quit that favor before accepting the invitation.

This is intended to cut down on the advantage that large super agencies (competitive agencies with sattelite non-competitive agencies) have over smaller agencies when competing for treasure hunts.

This change will probably go into effect on Thursday or Friday.

If you have any questions or comments about the need for this rule change, please post them here.

My final post on this matter.

Ben is not banning rotation, he is not stopping it at all.

The new rule only deals with importing favors. We can still import detectives in the middle of a hunt.

The rules change and we move on, no hard feelings.

Can I get a quick clarification from Ben?

Do you lose your favor when you leave an agency?

No, you will not lose favors when leaving an agency, only when joining one.

Alright, well, I'm giving up hope on this.


We have a new strategy and, although it won't work as well, it is pretty dang good.

lol you are funny. You don't need strategy, you would even get there over time without playing any hunts. Just be patient. It'll happen.

Just keep in mind, no one is smarter then everyone else, treasure hunts are in terms of how you do them fairly uncomplicated thing to manage with people who are willing to follow. They are however a tun of fun to do!!!!! Some agencies are more willing to invest more whatever it is then other agencies (time, money, resource, strict regiment, creating advantages over other agencies.) That is really what makes the difference. Some hunts you can also be really lucky in getting the right favours, or few people from other agencies logged in at crunch time.

I however already devised the best tactic:
1. Rotating 50 agents in and out of my agency. (Mental note: save money, then buy 50 subscriptions)
2. All bringing in 10 new cases, that we play on easy if we need to go fast. (mental note: FMs not allowed, nor are failing cases.)
3. If we don't need to go fast, we will do assembly line contacts work on impossibly. No one is actually allowed to even play a case properly. Contact, case files, contact, case files, accuse...boom...next. (Mental note: the weaker will be fired, there is no room for losers who need sleep.)
4. Agency will be manned 11 real life people logged in at all times playing the 50 detectives. One is leader, everyone follows war monitor, no questions asked. (Mental note: buy whip that extends across to the ocean)
5. We don't need to do this long, judging by this thread most other agencies will not be willing to do the investment for whatever reason.
6. The agency message boards when are on duty is off limits, as are sleep, food, or breaks of any kind. (Mental note: buy chemical toilet)

hee, hee. just kidding! The community would completely shun me if I did that, and I'd be stuck with agency members that I need to pay to do that or they would shun me too.

*sad to see island go*

Well, country...

How about that little island I was talking to you about earlier can be its own country?
