Well, this is an idea I have had for a while now. Basically, this would list your detective's accomplishments and/or failures (whether basic or advanced)in a dossier file which would be found on your detective page.

Certain labels would be....

Bookworm: Having able to get and read the 13 books in Sleuthville.
Phoenix: Unluckily getting detective retired, and reactivated.
Politician: After being able to gain top spot in every Faction.
Confidence Man: Getting a complete set of contacts in all Cities.
Lucky Loots: Successfully solving the last favor in a Treasure Hunt.
Silver Spoon: Bribed Shady a hundred times.
Ambidextrous: Acquired all the skills in the game.
Sleuth Express: Delivered 500 packages.
Tome Nazi: Reobtaind 500 books for the Library in London.
Tracker: Successfully completed a Villain Hunt.
Master Tracker: Successfully completed 10 Villain Hunts.
Expert Tracker: Successfully completed 50 Villain Hunts.
Gumshoe: When reaching 1,000,000 exp.
Battered Shoe: When reaching 10,000,000 exp.
Old Shoe: When reaching 50,000,000 exp.
Procrastinator: Being idle and not able to spend a total of 100 daily turns in a row.
Tale Weaver: Authors of Scripted and Featured Mysteries.
Co-conspirators: Editors and Moderators of Sleuth.
Vista Bonita: Winners of Beauty Contests.
Colorful Past: Winners of Biography contests.
Yakker: Getting 1,000 posts on the Message boards.
Insurance Salesman: By getting on the ignore list of 10 people.

Notice its not all positive, heck, I wouldnt want to get the Phoenix/Procrastinator or Insurance Salesman labels. The dossier file will give both new and old players alike goals to achieve regardless of exp level. Although we already have goals like these in our mind, the vanity inside some of us might want to have these accomplishments documented somewhere for other people to view or just for personal satisfaction, what better than a Dossier file to compile them all up. What do you guys think?

I second the motion to the house... I like this idea. Certainly things like the Sleuth Expres and Tome Nazi (not sure on the name) would give an extra challenge.

Great idea Sir Butcher De Vei, lets see what others think.

Glad you like it. It makes use of things that are already in the game so we dont need new content for it to work. A page of accomplishments will be the holy grail for detectives of different backgrounds and styles to chase whichever label they wish to procure for themselves. I know Shady also got my vote as he's liking the idea of people getting the "Silver Spoon" recommendation.

(Other label ideas that missed the first train and only just arrived)

All Seasons: Unlocked all the themes in the game.
Dunce: Quitted 1000 cases.
Club Hopper: Joined 20 agencies.
etc...

Rather than club hopper why not one for agency loyaty, long term service medal type thing?

I'm not too sure about 'Club Hopper' people move agencies for business reasons so it would be unfair to those people

Oh, nice. That one would also be feasible on the list. Something like "Loyalty Award: Being with an Agency for 6 months, or a whole year."

It (the idea)looks good on paper, though I dont know if itll be a nightmare since Ben would have to use lots of counters to keep track of all the different elements. *grins*

I thin any development to Sleuth would be hard work but I know Ben is always on the look out for new ideas so keep the comments comming....

I shudder at how many things on that list I qualify for.

I don't know that I like being a battered shoe, but its a cute idea for sure.

I'm not so sure about using the title 'Dunce' for quitting cases - since quitting cases is preferable to false accuses. Perhaps a 'Dunce' would be one who got a certain amount of false accuses, and your 1000 quit cases would make you something that doesn't mean you acted stupidly. Just my take on it. :-)

I do think it's (overall) a neat idea, though!

Yeah actually, it does seem like a good idea; I agree with Anika re 'dunce'; I don't know if Ben has the wherewithal to calculate some of these things; but overall one of the nicer ideas I've read in a long time.
