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?

Imelda Marcos was a BIG time shoe collector.

from Wiki:

"After the Marcos family fled MalacaƱang Palace, Imelda was found to own 15 mink coats, 508 gowns, 888 handbags and over a thousand pairs of shoes. In February 2006"

I love this idea, but as a librarian I must formally object to 'Tome Nazi'. Sheesh, you'd think people would be glad to see things back on the shelves now and then...

Raider of the Lost Tome?

well considering Nazi's weren't there for most of the sleuth time period, I think that the 'Nazi' part should be removed. And the names of other title's should also be renamed. I'm still wondering if negative titles should be on such a list.

I think the Nazi's were an actual party during this time period, though they weren't in power :)

To be historically accurate, of course :)

Nazi's were around, I don't think they went by nazi, but they definaly existed during the 30's and 40's. Wern't they called brown shirts in England?

If we go by time, Imelda Marcos wasn;t around either, but that title is quite funny.

An overal scoring could go with this, sort of a rating for Sleuth's and those with positive connotations could add 1 point and those with negative take 1 off.

Hahah, I apologize for some of the negative connotations. I was merely just making up 'catch words and catch phrases' out of the blue and and throwing them into the wind. I also agree that the labels should be relative to the '30s-'40s timeframe of Sleuth.

*Gets some red paint and a clean section of a large wall*

O almighty Ben, O almighty omniscient being,
What do you reckon of this idea that we're discussin'?
Will it be hard? Will it be feasible?
Will it be great? or will it be horrible?
Your loyal subjects await at this junction,
To hear your very own personal or business opinion,
And await these people will, on this idea they made with me,
Until you notice our *board* and tell us what's to be! =)
