***DISCLAIMER***

I know Sleuth just undertook a HUGE expansion 2 weeks ago. This is by no means whining or complaining.

I just happened to be rolling around ideas in my head recently about things that would make Sleuthville even better.

1.) Slight modification to the travel system for Villain hunts. Currently, it takes X amount of cases to travel to a new city. If you do not have X cases left, you can't go. Pretty good system, except in the case of Villain hunts. Hypothetically, one could have 25% of one's caseload available for the day (3 cases out of 12) and not be able to do anything at all case-wise because the next leg of the hunt is in a 4-turn-travel city. Those 3 cases become completely useless. I suggest that the travel system change slightly, so that a detective can use their remaining cases to initiate travel, and the travel completes upon server reset, with the remainder automatically subtracted from that day's caseload. The only real addition would have to be a Ship/Train page where the detective is essentially in limbo for the rest of the day.

2.) Villain-counter for agencies. Similar to the areas where you can see how many treasures an agency has collected. Either count hunts for the agency a detective is a member of at the time of completion, or have a running total of all villains caught by all current agency members.

3.) A new useful "twist". This twist would involve a Larry-the-toe-type character, who would offer to put in a "good word" with a random townie if you solve the case. This "good word" is optional at end of case, and results in the next available favor going to that townie. An interesting shake-up for treasure hunts, plus an extra useful twist... (Continued)

I have no good ideas at all.

But I am psyched to know that I get the first pony.

You all have Pony Envy right now, you know you do. And anyone who would name the Pony "Buttercup" doesn't deserve on Secret Roadkill!!

I will name my Pony "DeathSkull Killa!!!!"

Oh yeah. DeathSkull Killa is gonna make a fine addition to HitchHikers.

It's what your pony does, not what you name it that counts Al :)

I personally like the idea Squirrel, I think it is more realistic for the setting.

I do think that for game mechanic purposes and the idea that clicking on the list of people puts for ad banners in front of eyeballs is the reason it should stay the way it is.

Wry grin, kind of like spinich. It is good for you, even if it is not everyone's favorite.

Something to boost the role playing element would be a good idea too.
