..how about a 5th city planned for 2007...the players could vote
on a list in 2006...staying with the genre...circa early 20th century
i would propose 5 cities ( not listed in order of preference )...
casablanca (where the bar of course would have to be "Rick's"...or
constantinople ( with the Orient Exspress office in the city )...i
think montevideo ( with the Graf Spree in the harbor as a site )...
and then there is always Cairo ( with the British Officer's Club as
a bar site ) and lastly as a novelty idea....Lhasa, the high city of Tibet
( where the Triad could have a dojo )....any other ideas on this subject ?

Ooooh Rio or Havana I like.

Because adding a new city would change the dynamic of the game (with all the factions, etc), what if it was a vacation city? You could solve cases without worry about FA's, maybe--no factions there, less pressure, more fun stuff. Just a very unformed idea....

Actually Arab that is a very interesting idea.

My take on it is:

Something similar to Lucy's Caberet that everyeone can get to. Perhaps on the Boardwalk in New York?

You enter and it is a Sleuth Funhouse. Arcade style games & mysteries to solve that do not count against our totals/growth but are just there to solve. Add in a message board to round out the place. Nothing that happens there affects the game directly, it would just be a place to hang out and do things.

Having it only availble to Subsribers and placing it in New York would give people even more incentive to send a small amount of money Sleuth's way.

R Anstett: Oh man! That sounds SO cool! I would find a way to subscribe if that was one of the perks! Or, maybe just a few of the "booths" on the boardwalk could be available to non-subs. You know, to whet the appetite for subscribing? If there were no huge legal issues, what about a concert hall and a movie theater? Just thinking out loud. Maybe I'm getting carried away. Please, somebody stop me!

OK, I'm better now.

Hmm...interesting. I think there should be another US city. Some places that popped into mind

Birmingham or Mobile, AL. Nashville or Memphis, TN. Bakersfield or Los Angelos, CA. Biloxi, MS. Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville or Pensacola, FL.

OK, now I'm thinking out loud...I'll shut up. LOL

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Bahia... For obvious reasons but that's just me. I do like Cairo as a location as well. I'm against having another US city especially considering what it would do to travel turns, however if it must be a US city I'd go with either Honolulu because it wasn't part of the US back in the 1920's-1940's and it has a culture significantly different from New York, or I'd go with Chicago due to it's contributions to noir genre.

:) I'll repeat my parochial pref. from another thread for Melbourne, otherwise genre wise I think, like Trelane and others, Cairo would be great, or Genre-wise probably Paris, as perhaps the other predominant city of the era. :)

From the U.S., I'd vote for Chicago. But I'd really like to see something like Rio or Cairo as others have suggested. An Italian city like Venice would also be interesting.
