I am tired of Ben not doing anything about people who lie, cheat, and steal in this game. Ben gives people to many chances. People need to be banned. How many more agencies must suffer the consequences of having rogue detectives join, take sign on bonuses, loot lockers, steal money from safe accounts, and then leave to repeat the process before the administration takes action? Chronestrian left this site for a reason, and I spoke to him shortly before he quit. I honestly told him that the site was not going to change and that people would continue to abuse the system without any fear of punishment. Enough is enough. I call upon the denizens of Slueth to support my referendum. Ben must take action against repeat offenders.

If we have to understand that you will sleuth again, Chelsea, it's finally a good new.
And don't forget that you promised a featured mystery to the whole community!!!

Fiddler's Green sits at a large desk, the only light coming from a cowled oil lamp. Taking a fresh sheet of foolscap, he carefully writes the letters "W...E...R...B....E....R" using his lucky crayon. He then takes up a pair of pinking shears and cuts the letters out in a frenzy of flying fingers.

He pauses for a moment, looking down at the pretty letters. Taking a pot of paste, he reverses the letters and sticks them to a new sheet...

"REBREW !!!!", he exclaimed in triumph.

Slowly, the look of excitement drains from his face as he realises that this actually doesn't signify anything.

He gets up and wanders over to the kitchen to make a fresh pot of tea, muttering to himself...

"...worked with that blasted "Alucard" case back in '35....."

I can echo the comments that say that I hate to see you get hit by someone like this Chelsea. But I also have to agree with some of the other comments on this thread as well. Joining an agency of prestige should be such an honor in the game, detectives should be fighting over the privilege.

Perhaps one problem may lie in the creation of so many pseudo-agencies. How many do we have in GSS now? Training academies and agencies in every city as each conglomeration tries for "global" domination of the game world. Maybe one of the problems is we are stretching the talent pool too thin in order to fill all of these new artificial agencies, instead of focusing on the core agencies. All of the good detectives are snapped up so quickly that agencies are now forced to look at questionable characters in order to fill their ranks.

Eh... Or maybe not. Whatever. As you can see, I'm currently unaffiliated. So please direct all hate mail straight to me. :0)

This Werner character PMed me a couple of days ago asking to join our agency. I checked him out, noticed he had very little XP but yet had full smart gear. So my instincts said no way do I want him in my agency. It just takes a little research to save a big headache later on.

**Note to self, send jroepel hate mail** :-) kidding

I like being part of the evil empire. It's nice to have agencies that will help each other out. And then it's also nice to help out others. I don't see how GSS is different from Hitchhikers or any other agency that works closely with others.

There are alot of agencies out there now, however, the ones that start with the right intentions are the ones that will have some staying power and the others will just fade away.

I just think the game needs to advertise in places that will focus on a more mature audience, get more subscribers and a server that will support it!!

Not sure that connected agencies is really a problem here.

I agree with roamie 120% that this game should be targeted for mature audiences. If you go back and study some of the recent history, you will find that most of the troublemakers are people that are not mature enough (in real AND mental age) to participate in a comunity game like this one.
And do not even get me started on those that come in here and whine because they cannot do more for free. Anyone care to guess how old most of them are?

Sorry, I should have clarified, I don't have a problem with the big agencies at all (I'm a HHer for godsakes lol), I just think they do things a little differently, and its easier for us to recruit serious players because the reputation of HH, Eye Spy, or the GSS agencies sort of precedes us. I will say, however, that I've also managed to recruit a LOT of great people into SMRT so all is not lost :)

Totally agree with the advertising to a more mature audience though. Unfortunately, teenagers who can handle being here are the exception, not the rule.

I can tell you AndreaX that I am 23 years old. So my guess is that most of the immature people are around 23 years old.
