Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Detective Agency Recruiting

Apr-23-2004 20:38

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!

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.

Nega - I made a couple of stupid accidental errors yesterday and had to spend a packet clearing my false level.

Shouldn't take that long to get it back though. (as long as I make sure I accuse the person I think I am)

i'm in
i'll probably be able to get $2500 pretty soon -- i can spare 1700 right now
i have good standing with la casa nostra ... anything else you'd like to know?

Nega - Emily is up for joining in. She has $1000, so would be an officer.

As I see things at the moment:-

Jogi - Rookie/Agent - $500
Emily- Officer - $1000
Dragonlady - ? - $?
KEhleyr1 - Director - $?
Negasong - Director - $?
Flashman - Director - $?

If Dragon comes in as an Officer then cost per director would be $2500, or $2835 if we do this without her.

What does everyone else think?

i can kick in the $2500 for director, if you want...
so -- if it's 4 directors plus Yogi's $500, that's $2325 per director
or, 4 directors, Yogi's $500 and dragonlady's $1000, that's $2125 per director
that is, if you want me as a director -- i'm impartial...
any ideas?

Hey Mark,
Heard back from dragonlady - she says she doesn't play enough and would be a liability, so she's out, KEhleyr1 said she's in, so I'll IM her, and you said emily's in - is she good with the price?
Also, we have to come up with a name. We could name it after the directors, but that would be a pain in the butt if we want to add another director later. My suggestion would be to name it after a New York neighborhood or landmark, since the game takes place in New York. This could also give us an "image" ie: "Washington Square Agency" would denote "artsy/bohemian", Tompkins Square Agency" would denote "tough/gritty/blue collar", "Upper West Side Agency" would denote "rich/snooty" etc. Let me know what you think.
