We all talk about game improvements we'd like to see, new items, clothes, twists mechanics etc

So I was wondering if Ben came to you and said "OK I will implement ONE thing; ONE thing that you think will improve yours (and others if you like) gaming experience on Sleuth right now."

What would it be?

[I'll make the proviso that it has to be about the 'game' and can't be about 'anyone' lol :p]

Mine is simple.

If I could have it right now, I'd ask for a better PM/Message system.

I happen to have over a 100 accumulated skill points and they're just there doing nothing. I wish I could give them away or something. Maybe if we could sell our skill points? Okay, I was just kidding here :)

On the other hand....could it be possible to transfer money to any player and not just agency members?

I thought it might be nice to have a "bi" skill for a couple of skill points. That way my flirting abilities would work on women too. :-)

I think it's time for people to be allowed to "switch" Shangri-la factions if they choose to. Make it something extraordinarily obnoxious or difficult to do, but I don't see why you just can't find a way to curry favor with the faction you didn't originally choose. I think after 7-8 months of expansion, it's time to open that "other" potential skill up to people with points to burn.

I agree.

Different items, not better, just different.
It gets really boring after awhile getting the same old crap.
Maybe have an item of the month...

That, and better rewards for A.Is. I've always thought the items/price of items were pretty ridiculous and more so since the hunts.

Also, now that there is a Code of Conduct, wouldn't it make sense to have it posted somewhere? Or a link to it? I might have missed that though.

Oh... and what is the point of having an invite to someone's place if you can't leave them a message? I think all apartments should have message boards.

Also, agree with Ran and whoever else about Cairo and hunts there even though I haven't been.. it would make sense that Cairo is used for hunts.

Sleuthmail I guess too and more space and a better equipment inventory... maybe an autosell option and then the detective shop can be used as a trading post... it would be cool to be able to place you items there and dictate the price.

Oh.. and I do think a backdoor to thepalace makes sense too, if that isn't already in place.

In general, I guess I'd like to see more updates.. they don't have to be big .. but it would be cool if every month, for example, the last Thursday, there was a new update. That is, a back door to the palace, a new item or more furniture or something.

Hey LRC good to see your still around :).

The code of conduct link is at the bottom of the page where the FAQ's etc are.

Cheers Helen, totally missed that one.

I think it would be fun to have clues in the introduction, not the curly/heavy/leftie type of clues but something more interesting. Or maybe having a location aside from the crime scene to investigate. Such as the victim's study, to see if there are any clues like: "You find Mr. E's journal and the day before his murder he wrote that he was afraid that Mr. Nicely Nets Finetly Jets, his bookie, was going to try to kill him." Which would give you a name of a suspect and a new type of evidence that is only good with an additional type of evidence. Maybe this could be available in more advanced cases, maybe appear randomly or perhaps be a skill. I also like the idea of suspects being each others alibis.

Sunniva, having suspect's have there alibis be other suspects would be a problem. I mean there are very few chances to ask questions, and having to verify alibis would take away from answering questions which could be used for finding WE.
