i am at that point of the game where I am thinking about buying a Repossessed Speak Easy. Poor on the number of case files but good space for objects, cheap to buy and 2 bonus stats.

But i'm not a wealthy man and need partners. Therefore this is an open invite for 4 detectives each bringing $1200 into the deal.

I am Smart and Charming (So the game says). I have fair relations with Nosta and I'm on hard or Intermediate cases.

Contact me in this post or private message if interessed.

Suggestions for the name are also welcome!

Flashman,
Now that I've read about the differences in agency positions, how do you feel about this - for someone to join as a "rookie" or "agent", they must pay 5% of the total downpayment (ie: warehouse would cost $500 to join plus an equal share of the daily rent - the difference in ranking being rated solely on merit), and an "officer" would have to pay 10% of the downpayment ($1,000 in the warehouse example) and an equal share of the daily rent. Directors would have to pay an equal share of whats left of the downpayment and an equal share of rent (obviously we would have to limit the amount of directors so that we don't get into a situation where it costs a lower rank more to join than a director. Sorry about the length of this post, but I'd like to hear your feedback.

I asked 2 people (KEhleyr1, and dragonlady) if they were interested in joining us - KEhleyr1 is interested and has the money (and good stats), haven't heard back from dragonlady yet - maybe tomorrow.

That should give us about the right number to start out. If Yogi and Emily are in aswell.

We can get more as we go.

How many directors were you thinking?

Apr-25-2004 16:19

No more than 4 I would think, but I'm open to suggestions.

yer i'm in. i dont mind not being a director

Apr-25-2004 16:43

Yogi, I'd say you are still a rookie at the moment.

But if you don't 'boo boo' you'll be an agent nice a quick. :) (Sorry, poor joke)

I was thinking about the same Nega, 3 or 4.

Let me know what Dragonlady comes back with.

I'll post emily and find out if she's interested aswell. (She's got a post out about agencies aswell)

Jogi - As you have 0 standing with all 3 of the bosses around the town, and both Nega and I have fair-good standing with Nosta. How about if you could get your good relations with either of the other bosses.

That way, once the agency is up, we'll have two teasure hunts that we can go for.
