The time is here to start invitations to Mojo Enterprises.

http://www.geocities.com/sleuth.mojo/home.html

This is a group effort by several detectives to create a fun, helpful and competitive enviroment for people to participate in.

We welcome you to look over our guidelines, our code of conduct and mission statement.

To show that we want to help everyone we are also posting for the first ime in public some (not all ;) ) of Mojo's hunting guidelines.

"I notice that the group norm here is to come out swinging (sometimes making it personal) before the change has time to take effect, or before the full facts of a situation are known. There seems to be a restrictive culture here with great resistance to change"

Amen.

As for whomever said we should make our name Mojo Inc. andthose who said we are/should be a company...

"Company" was defined as "A group of persons" at dictionary.com So, I guess we're all companies.

And in real life, companies come up with new technology to help their business do better than the others. Isn't this just a new technology?


And before you all run out here saying we are horrible, and we want to ruin the Sleuth community and hunts and are only out to think about ourselves, THINK.

First, I DEFINATELY don't fit that discription. I've been here nearly 2 years and I'm proud to say I've done all in my power to better Sleuth and make it the best game out on the net. Anyone who says that we are going to ruin the game, think. Don't you think we've considered that? Do you think I'm just suddenly going to stop caring about Sleuth? Just think before you pull the trigger.

Secondly, has anyone heard history repeats itself? Well it sure does! Password sharing was, believe it or not, a taboo as much as this was. Some of the people who are here condemning this today condemned password sharing, yet they know have come to love it and see it as a blessing.

Before I begin to really rant, let's consider one last thing. People keeping saying we are "unethical", "unmoral", and a cornacopia of other things. Maybe before condemning us for some UNWRITTEN (and sometimes unexistent) law you have come up with, you should consider and enforce those that are carved in stone: such as the two detectives per person per agency rule.

Oh, and last thing, I promise.


This isn't an alliance. So please stop using the word. We aren't joining other agencies and making pacts. We own the agencies, we pay for the subscription, and we have the right to use them as we so desire.

Last thing.... I swear this time!


And this whole "more than one agency working together" thing is nothing new. It's been done over twice in the past. People are just too blind to stop and remember.

OK folks, those of you that know me know my position on this issue in general, and I am not going to discuss it here right now. I think it is time that we all took a very large step back and looked at the best interest of the community. This issue seems to have brought out the worst in people and that is a shame. While i am sure that there have been heated emotions and hurt feelings at Mojo over the reaction it should not have been an unexpected reaction as the same issue has been discussed 4 times in the last year, or a simmilar one at least. Finally I do not mean this as a personal attack on you Jojo so please do not take it that way, but your last two messages on this board seem to me to be attempting to provoke people into an emotional response which will only make things worse. Everyone, and i do mean everyone needs to take at least one step back and maybe more as the tone of this discussion is not f=going to resolve anything at all.

I will not be moderated away.

I want an appology from Maddie.

She has accused me of being a liar and I will not stand for that.

The old discussions about how many detectives a player should have in a single agency and whether or not detectives can switch in and out of agencies have resurfaced. As of now, here are the rules:

1) The system will not allow a particular detective to join a particular agency more than once inside a 48 hour period. This does not stop a detective from quitting their first agency (agency A) and joining a second one (agency B) immediately, but if they want to return to agency A, they cannot do so within 48 hours of the last time they joined agency A.

Ok, that rule was posted directly by Ben. So what Mojo is doing is well within the rules. But the way I see it, it still gives a very unfair advantage to Mojo.

I have 12 agents, we start a hunt in New York, the favors move us to Delhi. 6 of my agents travel to Delhi using $4000 each ($24,000 total) and 4 cases. That leaves them 6 cases each and 2 favors each. If one of them get's really lucky they'll get the right favor. They also have a harder time of it because half of them don't have the Delhi contacts.

Meanwhile....

Mojo kicks out 6 people in it's main office, messages 6 people in it's Delhi office, they resign from that office, accept the Mojo invitation. They spend no cash or cases to travel, use their full cases load, do the favor and advance Mojo. Mojo then kicks out those 6 and takes in 6 from the next city (since their origanal 6 are still waiting on the 48 hour period to be up) and continues with the hunt.

Meanwhile....

My 6 detectives finally get the right favor the next day (when they have a full 10 caseload again) but only one can travel to the next city because he's the only one with any cases left. So I send out 3 more from the home office and pay their travel cost with money from the office safe. One of those get's his 2nd false because he doesn't have contacts for that city so I drain the safe again to pay for it so he doesn't lose his detective. My agency goes 2 days without rent and is closed down!

Ooops!

Mojo wins again! Congratulations! And they did it all within the rules!

Hmmmmmm?

Ok. I think we really do need to stop with this tone of posting.


Has anyone actually looked at the fact that Mojo has not won a hunt in over a week?
