I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks

The new game server is on the way. I should have it set up by the end of the weekend. The bad news is that I'll probably have to shut down the game for a couple of hours, sometime next week, so I can install the new server. The good news is, it should run much faster after that, and hopefully, we'll be able to get a lot more players involved.

I'd suggest making a new message board for "Troubleshooting" or "Questions About Cases" or something when someone feels something is going wrong -- to separate from more general Sleuth Talk.

it should be probably called: board for why i cant accuse my client and why is my only suspect clamming up?

Hi ...
I paid for my subscription but I'm still listed as "unsubscribed". ::cries:: I want to play more!

Danny, you're showing up as subscribed when I look at you. How long did it take to take effect? (It should be instintaneous)

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

Good fun, although it gets boring after too much playing (entirely my fault for overplaying this game. I should get a subscription).

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

Perhaps more challenges and opportunities for them? More opportunities to do favors and perhaps something to do when not in such a brain-using-mood?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

It varies lots. Tricky when everyone's clammed up and there's no way you can get any more information out of anyone. Yeah. I hate it when that happens.


Hey, while I'm talking too much, does anyone know whether the period at the end of a sentence goes inside of or outside of the parenthesis? Anyone know how to spell "parenthesis"? Thanks. :)

someone said, "it'd be nice if, as soon as i know that an alibi is fake for example, i could use my knowledge to increase my pressure on the subject.
i.e. "ms.gibbons, why did you tell me you were with the waiter when you weren't?"
also interesting: "i found your threatening note, ms. gibbons..." "
so just wanted to say i agree. Also, is the name Kitten for a person wanted for more than just murder the idea you got from Kitten? It seemed like a possibility..
Toodles.

#1. It's fun, but repetitive.

#2.
a) All cases should follow the format of the featured mysteries (free form, something unlocking something else, etc).

b) Hunts should have puzzles instead of favours. Like ...(maybe all will be revealed if I submit a featured mystery, lol)

#3. It's a fine balance.


**************************************************

To Firefly,

The period goes outside the parentheses.

Parenthesis - is either, or both, of the curved lines in which you put other words in ie. ( words, words, words).

Parentheses - is plural of parenthesis (I'm still trying to figure this plural thing out, though. MAybe 2 or more sets of these -----> ( ) are parentheses)?

yeah, but machines dont have brains

It would be very complex to come up with a system that generated stories as varied as the featured mysteris (actually, it would be essentially impossible). That said, I can work on adding some things that make the random mysteries a little more varied.
