Why should age qualify an agent as a 'Legend'? If that is the only criteria, any top 10 agent who doesn't lose his/her license will eventually be a legend. I think 'legendary' status should be based on score, where there would be only 1 agent, and everyone else is striving to surpass that mark. Maybe it should be called 'SUPER SLEUTH'?

Or you could have a list of oldest detectives who have been active in the last 30 days.

Legend: From lego meaning to read. A story handed down from the past..

What ever happened to good 'ol sentimentality? Must we ALL strive to outdo everybody else?

What a lonely world that must be!

Marni, you appear to take competition as a bad thing, but in all honesty many times it brings out the best in an individual by inspiring the spirit to excel and achieve beyond what we may have even anticipated in ourselves. Having a level achieved by one person will inspire some to strive harder, give more, expect more of themselves, and to finally accomplish what they may have thought impossible. These traits carry into a persons everyday real-life, too, which doesn't have to be a bad thing at all. That's my opinion, which doesn't necessarily mean squat! :-)

I always call them. "Those old players, that are no longer around." :)

True C. It always, many times, brings out the worst in an individual.
Competition "per se" is neither a good or bad thing. It can be either, or none.
In any case, the idea of a new "age" rank is a good thing. If it will be called "legendary" or not, is just a side issue. I particularly like the world "Legendary". For me, it doesn't represent
achieviment, as in score, but most like age.
I can see, however, that this word can cause some
confusion. Maybe Ben just need to pick another word ?
