If we could name one simple thing to do in Sleuth Noir, to attract more people to start playing or continue playing Sleuht Noir, what would that be?
I am asking here for things that hopefully would be little effort - much gain. Also, because I guess it would be easier to ask Ben for small-effort things, rather than big-effort things.....
And, I really want us to start growing again. Growing in numbers, growing in happiness and fun. Hopefully making more people feel included in the community.
Where do we put the focus?

well, the AVH site was meant to automate them... sadly Serges never completed the project and it's run out of steam... not sure it even works properly anymore... so for newbies who haven't seen this, there is another city in Sleuth (kinda)... Chicago... if you log into the AVH website...can't remember the address, but it's somewhere on the boards.

I suppose you have seen the movie Sin City Annika so I was thinking Noir turning a bit to that mood.

This generally means darker colors with colorful details (again in a noir mood) . Maybe this could be applied on the city maps , skins and even equipment . Some .gif images could also be used for those who need even more eye candies.

I like the way Noir looks right now too but I think I will really enjoy the transition to the noir look I describe above.

And a proposition about items : How about item sets ? Maybe items sets consisting of 3 , 4 or 5 items ...And the more items you get and wear, the greater the bonuses you receive :~)

OK here is an idea of what I was thinking and it's taken right from Noir.

Although it is a unique item , I would LOVE to see every piece of equipment look like this:

P.S. Sorry for the double post :~)

Mitstux, silly question. do you want every piece to be purple? or just colors in general? I have never seen Sin City.

Is there a way to get the old automated VH site into this one and get it working? Maybe simplify it if need be? Not that I want to take away Ctown's fun in organizing.

The AVH site still exists and still works. Eventhough Serges is not around, Biggie does fix the site when soemone reports to her that somethign got messed up. I have constant contact with her so if need be I can get ahold of her.

The only reason why its inactive right now is because no one has gone to the site to start up a match.

For those of you that do not know the site it is:

www.lkentertainment.net/sleuth

Note: You need to register your detective there as well as put up your detective avatar using the last 3 numbers of your avatar picture.

To get the number you need to right click your picture, go to properties, and look at the URL address for the last 3 numbers in it.

Why does it have to be on another site? Why can't it be in this one?

Madalyn, thats where it was originally set up...anyone want to make an almost identical replica to Serges' using this site...go ahead if Ben allows.

But I'm just saying that there is still a site out there for people to use if they want it automated.

Serges isn't the reason for the inactiveness, it would be rather us as players as eventhough he is gone from the game, its still running and workable , but people stopped using it. :)

Stormy, in case your silly question was asked seriously, I'm sure Mitstux just meant he though black and white photos should be colorised. And if it wasn't asked seriously, then... ummm... *runs out of snappy answers* *flees*

I don't know, I kind of like the idea of colorising a small part of an item, if that makes sense. And not every item, just some of them.

I like the idea of "sets". A bonus for wearing every piece of an set is cool, though I don't know if I'd do five piece sets. Maybe just the clothing; let people carry around whatever accessories so they can individualize.
