***This is my opinion. Strictly my opinion.***


I've looked at the community, and anyone who's been here longer than 100 days is able to see that Sleuth activity has gone down the tubes. Dead. And what is to blame? The agencies.

Now, agencies aren't the root cause. Let's get that straight. But the way they have been operating is. The problems with agencies are (1) the quantity, (2) the purpose, (3) and the role they play.

Okay, first, the quantity of agencies. Not too long ago, there were about 20-30 agencies. All full at 12 persons each, coming to a total of roughly 240-360 people. That was a good amount. But now, we have almost 120 agencies. That's right. 600% of the amount we had about a year ago. Sure, some may argue that the community has grown, and it certainly has. But 600% growth? I don't think so.

Yea. Whatever crunch said. Although, quite honestly, I'm not sure I followed it (it's late), I'm sure it was deep and enlightening and almost prophet-like.

Hello fenton, you can always store gear in a an agency which is much cheaper to open if storing gear is what you want to do.

Apartment prices are high but correspond with the amount of experience a detective has gained over time and playing cases. They have saved their money from selling favour gear. A great thing about sleuth is the stages of advancment and what you can get along the way. To have it all too early in my opinion would mean you would loose interest and have nothing to play toward.

The only way one detective could win a treasure hunt from an apartment is for every agency to stop playing treasure hunts. Don't think it can be done .

I definately was not complaining about all the info not being in one place. I was just giving a reason why people may join a small agency as opposed to a big agency (as I did). I just jumped into the game bored one day at work never thinking I would ever join a web game and here I am hooked. This is the best thing ever for an awesome price. You can't beat it!!!:)

Ok,

I know I'm late to this conversation... But hey, that's what happens when you don't log in for months at a time. Anyways... I saw Crunch's post about spell check and must say that the computer was correct, from much prior experience: smörgåsbord=orgasming.

Thanks for the mention biggie. It's good to know we've been missed. I've missed my friends here as well.

This is a really great thread, I've enjoyed reading it and my heart is warmed by the lack of vitriol in the discussion. Sleuth has a special place in my heart. It has helped me tremendously by introducing me to Autumnsprings, guided me thru a tough time in my life, and given me so many amazing friends around the world.

To the newbies. Don't hang back. Don't be afraid to join in the discussion. Just jump in. Yes there are inside jokes, but this group really is inviting and friendly. Believe me, they are accepting.

I'm SO never going to a buffet in Scandanavia, or Batavia, or anywhere else that rhymes with it with J-Ro. I'm even thinking about a moratorium on gravi-a on turkey-a in his presence :P

Very glad you brought this up again, sir. He's right: one of the things I like best about sleuth is that, most of the time, most people are pretty nice to one another.
