How do y'all feel about agencies recruiting detectives at your agency? Does it hurt y'all whne long term detectives leave? Maybe I'm cynical but I look at my fellow sleuths as family & it gets me down in the dumps when they resign, only to take up residence elsewhere.

N, Ran, perhaps not. However, those agents don't have to be in that agency IF they think it's unfair.
There are plently of agencies and those rookies can leave.
The whole point is, that there IS a place for everyone in Sleuth.
To say, that people aren't allowed to stay in an agency if they are unsubbed is unfair. It's up to the people in an agency to decide that.

but Ran..*batting eyelashes*....if Rookies don't like that the Director(s) is unsubbed, they don't have to stay in the agency, they can go to an agency that has subbed Directors *smiles* You big meany!!! ;)

**Raises his hands**

I can see that the tide is against me on this one.

I understand that people like Rach and others have to choose on entertainment like Sleuth and other things.

I think that it does say something that people feel they need to belongto an agency to feel a sense of community. Maybe that should go in the "why you should subscribe" thread.

I agree R. Anstett. Although I am normally subbed, such as now, there are times where I have to choose. I am just glad that I don't lose my agency status, I would miss them.

Heheheh you guys are just too funny. Heheheheh is a rookie entitled to be pissed at their director for being unsubbed. Sure they can be pissed all they want (and about anything they want).....but preferably on another agencies msg board. :) heheheh.

I just want to add one thing to this topic. Before we get auto-finger pointing turned on every time someone leaves an agency to join another. There are many agents coming and going, joining others, starting their own agencies, doing mergers whatever. An agent leaving your agency, to join another. To me it doesn't imply in any way what so ever, that recruitment was even done. It could mean lots of things. (Like your agency sucks.)

However I have one have a story. Of the ultimate evil, worse then recruitment, headhunting, or even poaching.

I once had an agent integral to tafkadd. A director even. One day she just left. And why? So she could join another agency with some guy. I am convinced this guy gave her all sorts of sleuth perks, like free subscriptions, inside knowledge (like knowing who lucy was, before anyone else.) Of course I can't tell for sure. But I bet they are sleeping together too. I mean, that's just really low. I could never offer her, what he did. Well pffft. I hope she is having lots of fun in "The new admins detective agency."

*doubles over in laughter* Justkdn, *trying to catch her breath* I think you are right. Some perks are just can't be beaten. Good for her! Though from what I hear, she keeps him in line when he needs it. ;)

WOW!! If that's a perk of joining an agency I may have to subscribe soon!
