Balthaak, actually Leddie was in a way agreeing with you and you went and snubbed her!!! And she HAS been subbed before. For a very long time.
The point to everyone that keeps complaining about what they don't have is this:

If you want the premium content and the benefits that come along with it, then spend the money. Just like in real life, if you want the fancy and nice things, you have to pay the money for it.

Be happy that you have a game that you can actually play for free without a trial time expiring thus making you never able to play the game again without buying the subscription. Sleuth Noir is very generous in letting people play forever if they chose as an unsubbed person without putting any expiration date on it.

Anyways, again, be happy with what you have, because its more than a lot of people have.

I'm trying to create a sleuth paradigm whereupon the space time continuum is rent asunder...

I am sorry if anyone got this personal (other than the person it was intended for).

It's just insulting that someone would say that you whine when you are only looking for a solution for your problem.

Still, the problem remains...

PS. I knew she was subscribed :)

But, I am supposed to get my scollarship anytime now. It's known to be late, but I will get it as late as March and then I will be able to afford the game. Still, I have no certain way ot getting a subscription. The solutions I have been offered were to send my letter using a bank, or re-routing the money to smo in another country and ask him to pay for me instead.

Both were unusefull so far, but still I thank the person who offered them (I forgot who it was). It's a start though. Keep'em comming.

You know I always wondered if, instead of sending money, a person could send someone something unique and interesting from where she or he is from and in exchange they would give you a gift subscription...

Two things. Actually, three.

Squirrel, it's working. I swear to god I just saw a red-vested Michael J. Fox drive by in a souped up Delorean blasting Huey Lewis (ugh, and The News, too). Now I need a new drug.

Laura V: The boards need more Gloria Anzaldua. You are this bridge called my back:) I'd say more about this but my bridge is itchy.

Balthaak: Anyone worth a scholarship should understand at least something about economies of scale and the nature of capitalism. Sleuth is a smaller site than some of the other game sites out there. A smaller paying client base means smaller freebies to people who don't want to/cannot pay. Offering more content to people who don't pay also potentially puts stress on servers, which are expensive, which cuts down on satisfaction for people who pay as well as people who don't. What you are suggesting is that the people who run the site should lessen the quality for proven paying customers in the hopes that many more people will sign up only to find themselves disappointed with the product. Which is sort of like giving away really really good free crack until the people are addicted, then selling them baby powder that still smells like breast milk.

It's simple. Sleuth exists as part of a capitalist economy. Capitalism doesn't care if you can't pay, or why. Which you MUST understand, because earlier you said:

"I'm fully aware of the situation about the people starving. Anyway, I's not mainly up to me to take care for it in the first place."

I'm sorry you're hungry for more Sleuth than you can afford, but as you said, it's not really anyone else's problem. You post because you want someone else to make it their problem in the same breath as you say that other people's problems are not yours. You contradict yourself by insulting people for not understanding, but then saying that there's no way that they ever COULD understand. If they couldn't, why would they? Why even speak if that's how you feel?

Good luck at school.
