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 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. "

Go back and reread what I posted because I never said you or anyone from Mojo was a LIAR.

I'm sorry I thought there might have been 6 agencies. You have my apology on this. I did put a question mark at the end of the 6 if you go back and read my post. Well here is what I did post - take note of the question mark.

"But I thought that an agency could only have up to 12 agents. But Mojo has 6? agencies under them. So bringing them in and then firing them when not needed means you have more than just 12. So how is this fair? Could you please redirect me to the posts where Ben has mentioned its not. Because I want to know what is said on this matter."

I also thought Behind Closed Doors and Omega were a part of your enterprise. I am sorry if I was mistaken, got wrong information. So which four are yours? I think I saw Mojo in london, The shire (you said is in delhi?), The closers? (shanghai) and whats in new york - fogies?
Ok so you have 4 agencies, that is still more than just 12 agents.

I would like to thank Peter Gunn for finding Ben's rules for me.
It did clarify things. That is what I was after - Because no one ever stated what the "rules" are. There is a 48 hour rule (as I have read), but it is only for the original detectives booted and returning to their original agency.
So I am sorry, you are not cheating the rules. If you have no problem implementing your strategy, that is fine with me. As you stated we have been winning hunts lately. And that is because Moonlighting has been working hard at it. We want to move up in the score board. Plus I want some better items; I am hoping the more fame you have the better the items you get.

I'm sorry I have hurt your feelings R. Anstett. And I did not mean to imply you are a liar. I am sure that all of Mojo is a wonderful agency. And I have never stated otherwise. I am not out to get you or disturb the community in any way. I was just posting my opinion about your methods of sleuth playing. It was a shocker.

I am deeply sorry for disturbing the community and ask your forgiveness.

Folks, instead of fighting amongst ourselves, lets wait for daddy to come home. :)

Just give him a chance to enjoy his holiday and then his jet lag. By the rate that all those sleuth women are wearing him out in Amsterdam, the poor guy is already suffering a huge load. :)

He will come back and fix this. And I know it is going to be in a way that we can all live with this. There are ways of fixing this, where in the end result is OK for everyone (at least most.)

I am scanning the new posts, just picking up buzz words here and there.

Ironically no one from either side of the spectrum is trying to make gestures, and be the bigger person. The question we need to ask ourselves, is having an alliance, or not having it.....worth this much upset?

Feb-18-2006 02:17

Definitely worth it. Where would I be without the storing case file feature, the equipment locker, or the people! =D

Ram has been quite a name for himself with this multi-agency scandal. There are going to be others like him in the future, so it is good we have a dose of it now. I think we owe a big thank you to Ram. The man is our Flu shot. It hurts a little, but it keeps you from getting severely sick again. We salute you, Ram, but still think one agency is nicer to the other's than four. (I heard you had one in each city, correct me if I'm wrong on the number though.)

Here is the link to our web page again from the top of the thread.

We have four agencies.

Thank you Maddie, I can understand not agreeing with me on this, that does not upset me in the least. Debate is good, I just felt I was being personally attacked. Thank you for clearing that up and I will contintue to think of Moonlighting as a good agency to compete against.

The four agencies are:

Mojo Jojo - founded on Dec 21 2004
Shire - founded on June 15 2005
Omega - founded on Nov 8 2004
Closers - founded on Jan 12 2006

We do not want more than one agency in a city at this time as we have stated in our recruiting.

No Maddie...Behind Closed Doors was never apart of Mojos :) I was the Director there, and due to the inactivity, Ran offered me a place at Mojos, just so I could remember what it was like to be active in hunts and stuff, again lol but it was never, and it isn't now, a Mojo's agency. :) As u know now, since Ran told ya :)

I got carried away somewhere up there, so I'd like to apologize to Ran. My wording was very off, and I did not mean to upset him. Well, actually... we cleared the air very quickly and we've shaken hands and we're back to being friends. But since the downtime I couldn't apologize. So, we made truce and cleared the air of all of that fog.

Cfm can vouch for that, she was there in Sleuth Chat when we cleared the air -- being the Moderator of the discussion. This does not mean I'm on Ran's side of the controversy, or the opposite. I sit firmly in the middle ring, but I got swayed a few times. It's difficult remaining neutral in times of war.

Ran is a good man. So understanding and honest. Reasonable, too. I hope everyone sees him for the guy he is and not for some silly little project he's doing. He isn't a liar. But I'm not on his side.... remember that. He didn't force me to post this, nobody did. I thought of this myself, and I do not wish to be bombarded with annoying PMs complaining or whining or snapping at me.

Well, I hope everyone gets along soon and I hope this controversy ends in peace. Thank you and see you all later.

I'm going to keep this short for now, because we've just gotten home from our trip, and I'm tired, and I have a lot of other things that I need to take care of over the next few days. So, I apologize in advance if I don't immediately make any final decisions about this quite yet.

First of all, thank you everybody for toning down the argument and trying to keep it from getting personal. We're all interested in keeping the game fun and fair, and with that in mind, I'm sure we can figure out whether or not agency alliances have a place in Sleuth.

There are two seperate issues here:
#1 Do alliances give an unfair advantage, and squeeze out smaller agencies or not. and
#2 Will big alliances harm the community by causing to much partisan fighting.

I'm going to just comment on issue #1 for now.

Keep in mind that under the current ruleset, these multicity alliances are only potentially helpful for multicity hunts. Agencies in different cities don't offer any advantage in Single City hunts.

In the last 50 hunts, Mojo Jojo has only only won two hunts (one multi city and one single). None of the other member agencies have won a single hunt. So as of yet, Mojo Enterprises is not the juggernaught that you would assume it would be from reading some of the earlier replies on this thread.


Out of the last 50 hunts, 11 agencies have won at least one:

15 - Eye Spy Investigations
7 - 269 Mokita Blvd.
6 - Moonlighting
4 - The Legion of the Forsaken
4 - Mr. T's
4 - Gibb's Secret Agents
4 - The Guild Of Nine
3 - Gimmeaclue Detective Agency
2 - Mojo Jojo Detective Agency
1 - SMRT Investigations
1 - Golden Eye Investigations2


I don't think that looks like we really have a problem with any alliances dominating the hunts, but maybe I'm unaware of an alliance that does exist between one or more of these agencies.

lol well...........so much for being too good. :-)
