***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.

added note: To your comment "its just a game....".......to some it may be JUST a game but there are alot of us who feel passionate about our detectives....and are proud of what we've accomplished with them...its more than JUST a game to me...and I would not want to start over, and do it all again. What would be the point in that? Again, for newer ones, that would be great for you....for the older ones, who have been there, done that, not so exciting. Again, just my opinion.

Im not stupid :) I know its a game ..but I wont try to explain , as its obvious you didnt get what I meant by my comment.
I also see you are unsubbed, and havent been here that long....when you have been here for awhile, and have actually put time in here building your detective, learning to love the community, and people within, then after you have actually accomplished some things here... see if you actually have that same opinion. Until then, dont tell ME its just a game...that is your feelings on it,not mine.....Sleuth, to me, is like my extended family :)

u invented sleuthtania? hats off to u, that you know the game.....knowing the game, and actually accomplishing things,and building a detective are two different things. On both your detectives (I will assume that hannah greenmouse,and hannah blue are same person), you only have one contact each on those detectives....so u might know the game, but havent put much time into it, from what I see on your profile. Next?

Mak- Read crunch's bio. The section on Nephi-tism. And now somehow my point has been lost due to this phenomenon ;-)

Actually I think the original definition came from Serges. Don't want to give anyone undue credit :-)
