HOW DOES THIS SKILL HELP YOU IN THE GAME? DOES IT HELP ANY IN A TREASURE HUNT?

Do you know which factions have which skills? That bit of information would help me so i am not mindlessly guessing and then get in good terms with a faction i do not need. I would appreciate the help.

*laughs* It's funny how we always say lock picking when we mean safe cracking. I do it all the time and I know others do as well.

Agent Canady, there is a link on City Hall page to Community Sites, if you go the Reaper's Page you'll find out info on factions/skills/gear.

You can also check out the Welcome Newbie's Post as that will answer a lot of your questions.

Failing all that, a good place to find out info is on the Moderator's Pick. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.

Happy sleuthing! :)

Hmm, a thought on this .. would it be possible the factions were listed on skill help? Or one the skill page when you click your unused skills?

I would say no to this.

I know I am normally all for pumping as much information out there as possible, but in this case I think it should be left up to the player to find out the information.

It is fun to discover some of the quirks about the game your self.

Of course if they do not want to search it out themselves, asking here on the boards will elicit a quick response from someone with a link to follow.

Force feeding people with long FAQ's or making the help file an even longer document seems counter productive. Those that want the info seem to find their way here to ask.

*laughs* Thanks for the answert Ben.. oh, it's not Ben.
Heh, maybe you should make up your own game Ran, you seem to have lots of good ideas.

actually, it takes no more clicks of the mouse to go to Reaper's page to look up the info than it would to go to your detective page and look it up. Why duplicate readily available information? Seems pointless to ask Ben to take up more of his valuable time inputing info that someone else has already taken the time and effort to put together in an easily understood format.

the Reaper's web page does have a lot of information on the faction skills as well as other helpful info.
thanks to Lady Ruby Caplan for the help before!

Thank you for the vote of confidence LRC.

I think that our avatars are sufficiently different that no one would confuse myself and Ben when we make comments here on the boards. Sleuth is a growing community exactly becuase Ben & Sunny have encouraged everyone to contribute ideas, to make comments, and to listen to the back and forth of what the community expresses.

I do like to think that 20+ years of game design has taught me a thing or two about game mechanics and how to keep everything within a theme. I would never suggest that changes like Magic Wands to unclam suspects or garish modern color schemes that would ruin the feel of the game.

To bring this back to the topic here is a link to what many detectives contributed as possible ideas for new factions and faction skills.
