***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.

Seriously though, congrats on having your name up in lights Jojo. Just wait until I'm done with this online statistics class. I'm now working towards my Bachelors Degrees. I'm swamped with just getting through the class. Not to mention they changed the account I help at work, so now am at work during the day training, so when I'd normally have been doing homework, I'm still normally doing homework, but can't sleuth right now from work while in training *sigh*

Maybe in 2-3 weeks I'll be back in force! Then watch out. :)

A lot of games have a required level before you can do things.
Why not make it so that you have to have 100 000 experience before you can create and agency? And maybe, you could even make it so you have to have 100 000 exp to be a Director :).

This would also stop people who sub for just a month so they can have an agency to store things in though.

(Oh by the way, Jojo , I don't think I actually told you I agree with pretty much 100% of what you said here.)

I've been thinking about this post (http://noir.playsleuth.com/map/cityhall/post.spy?id=10710&first_record=77313 ) for awhile in light of this one.

Then today someone asked me a question which made me think of this post again.

I think it's an interesting read and an insight into the past. It's also fun to see how things actually worked out when so many predicitions and worries about the future were bought up!

This is an interesting read almost 2 years later. Jojo had a premonition, it seems.

Even more interesting when you think of the timing of this post and other events that were taking place during and prior to this.

Does seem to make sense. Although I wonder if the new sleuth game also took part of the community away. What were the events going on during this time?
