This is DaRu, and I'm using her contact to check cases for our agency, and just a few moments ago I received a message from Elvenwonder stating that she had sent Zane a message by MSN, and of course she sent Zane one while I was using her contact, telling her that her invitation to join Over the Rainbow still stands, so I don't appreicate her asking my agents to leave and join her agency. I never have asked anyone to ever leave another agency, though I was accused, and I never will, and according to the rules of this game, we're not suppose to ever ask anyone to join our agency that belongs to another. I know that Zane doesn't believe in asking another to join our agency, nor would she ever do Lone Wolf Detective Agency this way. If she choses to leave and join Elvenwonder's agency, then I wish her my very best with all my love and respect. I do apoligise to Zane for posting this message, for when Elvenwonder's message came through it did upset me, and therefore I came straight to the message board to post my feelings regarding this, and I wouldn't have done this, had I thought about not being in my own character DaRu. Elven I know you need help at your agency and I wish you the very best. From the day you left and joined Lone Wolf, I done everything I could to help you and Hakamantata, by buying all of your equipment, for the both of you. Also, when you joined our agency you asked me if you could bring in Hak and I agreed to allow you to bring her in to build her experience points up, but right after you both had everything you needed, you up and left and started your own agency, at which time I wished you both the best, and I still do.

OK, I finally got into my own character, or clothes..lol. I wanted to express my sincere apologies for stating anything about Elvenwonder at Over the Rainbow, about sending a message by MSN to one of my Directors at Lone Wolf Detective Agency. I had a wonderful long chat with Hakanmatata, and all has been resolved, and there was a misunderstanding. If any of agent desires to leave Lone Wolf, they have my blessings if that is what they desire to do. Not every agent feels at home where they are, and they should be allowed to leave and join whatever agency they feel they would best fit in. In the short period of time that I got to know Elvenwonder and Hak, as I call her..hehe, I really was proud of their daily hard work, & achievments, and when they left, I was sad and hated to lose them, but I sent them my blessings. Hak and I have agreed that it would be nice if agencies could help out each other when help is needed. When your small and new, any help is greatly appreicated. It's also great when two agencies can come together and calmly work things out such as Over the Rainbow and Lone Wolf Detective Agency did tonight. Best wishes to every agency here at Sleuth.

I am so glad that Hak and DaRu had a chance to talk things out last night. This situation can show how we really are a community, and how passionate we can get about the game.

I would just like to say that I would never try and lure agents away from somewhere they want to be. M.Zane posted a public reply on the recruiting board inquiring about employment oppertunities at another agency. Hak and I both sent messages to her reminding her that she has friends at Over the Rainbow. We left Lone Wolf wishing them the best of luck, and with, I hope, no hard feelings. We left not with the thought of getting away from Lone Wolf, but with the intent of forming an agency that reflects our personalities, and is a place where new agencies will feel safe being who and what they are.

Also, for anyone not familiar with the equipment issue alluded to, I would like to state that while DaRu made a gift of a Police badge to Hak, the rest of the equipment we took was either purchased or won by us, and I feel we more than made up for it with the countless items we purchased or won that we left in the locker. We appreciate all the help we got at Lone Wolf, and without DaRu and the rest of the gang we never would be where we are now.

Happy Sleuthing to all, and to all a good day!

Glad you guys resolved it. And that Elvenwonder is not a bad guy.

I was already surprised. Not that I know her at all. But someone whom has been as active as her helping the newer folks in the sleuth community, bringing in ideas on some of the threads, including those about ethics and appropriate behaviour. I was surprised she then would start recruiting in other agencies. Glad it was not the case at all.

I agree, recruiting agents from other agencies are a definite no no.

Just MY side of the story. I love playing at Lone Wolf and in fact was one of the founding members. The other day I was playing by myself and got discouraged. I posted a message on my agency message board saying so. No one read or if they did they did not respond to my message. I said I thought I MIGHT look for an agency that plays in my time zone so I do not have to play alone. I then went to the recruiting board and asked another agency NOT OVER THE RAINBOW if they played in my time zone or at least during the day. They replyed that they did and would like to have me. At that I told them I would have to see what my agencies comment's were. I talk to Hak and Elv everyday and never once have they asked me to leave my agency. They have extended an open invitation that should I ever want to join them I would be welcome and I apprecieate that. I have explained to DaRu that I was only thinking of leaving I was not planning to leave. We have got things patched up and it was all a misunderstanding. My apologies to ELV and Hak, my very good friends for getting them involved in this. I AM NOT LEAVING LONE WOLF!!!

Hey, I'm back..hehe. No, When I read Elven reply I want to clear up another misunderstaninding on my part. I had remembered buying Elven her charming equipment when she first joined, because I have purchased every agent's equipment as they joined Lone Wolf, unless they elected to pay me back for it, which some did, and Elven was one of those that purchased her own. In fact, I remembered after this thread, when Hak brought it to my attention, the time when Elven sent me a popup message stating she was changing out her equipment from all charming to all tough, at which time I agreed of course, besides it's her character and her decision and non of my business. As far as Hak goes, she also desired to purchase hers, all except for the Police badge that I bought as a special treat for joining our agency. She asked me if I wanted it back before she left, and I told her no. I'm proud she still wears it, and I hope that she always keeps pinned over her heart, in memory of Lone Wolf. I know I'll always appreicate all their hard work and each and every brillant idea they came up with. I do agree that they have wonderful ideas. Both of them are brillant detectives, and I am proud to have had them the short period of time I did. Again, I wish them the best, and if you ever need anything Elven, and Hak, please let me know, and we'll see what we can do to help out. Love your friends and family,

DaRu & Lone Wolf Detective Agency
