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?

Little to far for me to travel to Sleuth con... little bit of water in the way known as the Atlantic...

Still let's keep this board going so it's at the top when they all get back!

For my twopenneth, I'd say be blowed to the 30s/40s theme - the titles (with the acknowledged exception) are great! Some of your additional titles are a bit longwinded - perhaps we could shorten a couple of them to ...

Hirsuite
Nostradamite

Imelda Marcos has to stay! I reckon you're a Brit cos we don't need to be told about her shoes - there was so much in the papers about them at the time that I reckon Imelda Marcos and Shoes are forever imprinted on our brains as a pair!

I think Tome Raider might be easier than Raider of the Lost Tome, simply cos its shorter.

The handwriting title is a bit long any other ideas? I can't think of any fun/funny ones, only too sensible!

Tome Raider, definitely! Not only shorter, but punnier.

What's wrong with Tale Weavers?

Its alright, but somthing a little more funny would be better. Tale weavers seems to imply people who lie all the time, or weave tall tales. Which I guess discribes authors of SM's, cause the stories arn't true, but it would be nice to change it.

No offical word yet on whether this idea is feesable? Ben don't panic, if this can't be retrospective then I'm sure we'd all still love the challenge it poses....

Reading throught these posts one thing stands out. Everyone is commenting on the positive titles. If this could ever be implemented, only the positive titles should be awarded. If I were titled "dunce" it wouldn't make me try harder it would have the opposite effect. I'd be too embarassed to log in again.
