I am anxious to do the treasure hunts. What I want to know is if I joined an agency am I required to stay in there? All I want to do is see what the treasure hunts are like. I am really trying to save my dollars to rent my own place with a crime lab. (I saw somewhere else that's important to have) Anyway, if I joined an agency am I obligated to stay there or could I still start my own?

Madame,you can come and do some treasure hunts with us at paine agency we are pretty new and want a few more people to help out. And if you choose not to stay thats no problem either.

Like moonshh said you could resign.
But you could also have your own agency and rent a place. Just go to real estate you'll find the details there.

I agree with Moonshh. I think the part about being upfront is crucial. I wouldn't mind (if I had space) supporting a new agent while she built up the resources to open her own agency - but I'd like to know that intent was there from the start.
I think, to be competitive in hunts, the agencies are becoming bigger (12 for the most competitive) and more 'corporate' in their management. Its hard for a smaller or newer agency to crack into the game.
But it would be better to learn what's involved in managing the agencies by joining an existing one. Good luck!

I also wouldnt mind if u join us for a while just to c how it is. as long as u play fair and while u r in u r helping out. i do think that there r a lot of agencies and its becoming really hard to find new ppl to join an agency. everyone is trying to open their own. what u could also do is try to climb up in existing agency so u can influence the way it work. at fat kitten we would very much like to have some1 like that that wants to stay long and help it grow again.

I would take Reda up on her offer, Kitten is one of the first agencies every created, if not THE first agency. So they must have a tun of expertise.

It's not THE first agency ;) - it's Myers & Seymore - although there might have been 1 or 2 earlier ones not beloging to Ben but which have since gone under :)

Reda,
Okay so what exactly do I do now to get into your agency? Can you walk me through the steps? Also, is it really okay with you if I don't intend on staying on a long term basis? What I mean is that yes I would want to stay for a good while to learn everything & accumulate what I need. Then, I definitely want to venture out on my own. Which would probably take a good while because I am just now starting to even get the hang of things. Like, I just got the clue & found the Cabaret last night. (THAT WAS REALLY COOL!)

Thanks Greyling....I wasn't sure. I think I hopped on somewhere in the Tompkins, Kitten era. Wow, I just checked almost 200 days ago! Time flies.

Reda can send you an invite, when you get it, you accept it!

Sure things :) - although, I wouldn't really call it the Tompkins-Kitten era ;) More Myers & Seymore-Chicago-Kitten era (since those 3 are about the only ones left from the time of beta-testing whereas Tompkins wasn't founded until almost a month later :p )

Oh, and sorry for running off topic here on your job application Madame TBird :)
