perhaps the agency directory could have a little green neon light
lit up next to the agencies that are recruiting...and perhaps to further cut down on non-subscriber requests the agency directory
page could list in red at the top of the page that one needs to be
a subscriber to apply to an agency.

Wouldnt the best way to stop non subscribers from trying to join agencys just be to move the threads to the subscriber center? Only subscribed players can access it, so it would keep unsubs out.

There is a standing request, thank you Jojo, for a flashing pink neon sign in the recruiting thread to replace those tiny litttle letters (that actuaully were enlarged not so long ago!!)) at the top that say you must be subbed.

Bill, typically the biggest argument against only subs getting into, or even just posting on, the recruiting board is that there are actually non subbed directors that would not be able to acess it.

*holds up the picket sign and passes out the pamphlets for the new sign maker in town that uses pretty bright lights*

Ah, yes, of course. Duh! Well, isn't there some way to allow only subs or those in agencies to access a thread?

One point to make is that if un-subbed people see the fun that can be had by joining an agency by the chatter and discussion on the Recruiting Boards they might be induced to subscribe.

that would be a great idea, allow non-subbed players to join an agency for about a week or so, that way they can have a taste of it

an advanced way of shareware :)

I kind of like the idea... maybe create a category called "intern"?

Sep-15-2006 18:50

You just want your very own pretty little intern don't you Serges?

Don't worry, man, we got all the perks and amenities at HH New York already!

I like the idea of having the "interns" too, not Monica Lewinsky style like the above pig is suggesting ;) but, it would take up space. Maybe give them sort of a dummy agency so they can train on it, without actually counting against a given agency (kind of like giving them a taste like you did with the FMs?)

Hey wait a minute!!! I'm with Al Z!!! Interns?! Sounds good! lmao

And Biggie, calling Al a pig... I've seen you in sleuthchat [DELETED BY GOVERNMENT-WHAT HAPPENS IN SLEUTH CHAT STAYS IN SLEUTH CHAT] So you shouldn't be calling Al a pig, all I'm saying. ;-P

Seriously though, I like the idea of a shareware type dummy agency to allow people to see what fun it is to join.
