I think most of us have played many different RPG´s.
What were the reasons that got YOU hooked up on Sleuth?

My reasons:

sleuth is text-based. Meaning I don´t have to jump up and down just the right moment or i´ll die etc.
In sleuth there´s no attacking other players for money, exp, skills etc.This is opposite, team members help each other rather than attacking them.
I can play my daily cases in a row and then move on to other business. I don´t have to wait to gain stamina, getting out of jail (or whatever) and come back later to finish the day.
and finally, in sleuth i´m on the side of good, I solve crimes rather than do them ;)
And of course, this is fun..

And not get me wrong, I play other games too, occasionally.
And they´re fun too.
sleuth is the 1st that got me hooked, what I mean is that the "structure" of this game is so much better than many others.
I hope you understand..

I agree with you on the text based thing, and its just challenging enough to keep it interesting, without being too hard for the effort :)

It keeps me sane when I'm up with my newborn son at 3 AM

I love Sleuth partly because I'm a mystery addict. I can't get enough reading the mystery genre. I don't know why, because I just do.

I agree with tollo - I dislike games where you need to 'move' around and play in the first-person in a virtual world with virtual this and virtual that... no, that is not for Lucian Ty. For me, text-based is better. No Javascript, no Flash plug-ins, just an Internet connection and a cup of coffee.

Playing Sleuth is my primary addiction right now. Ben needs to invent some magical elixir for us, because this is game is like smoking without the bad stuff. Heck, but this game IS nicotine!

Well, you see what I mean. I don't have to go further in describing what Sleuth is to me. I should go write a poem about it and hang it on my wall.
