Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Sleuth Talk

Last night I spoke of some ideas I wanted to discuss with everyone on how to give a little kick-start to Sleuth. I would like to share these now and hear feedback. These things are not required of the Admin, but things we can do as a community to try to get things flowing again.

NOTE: Please do not bring up the development team. That ship has come and gone. This post is aimed purely at community-oriented initiatives, not changing the game itself.

Also, I would like to note that many players have been doing some really good things around here. The contests for free subs, ctown's radio show, AVH matches. I do not mean to discredit any of this. It's all wonderful. I just think we can do a little more :-)

#1 Advertising - Let's get out there and spread the word. This is a great little gem that we have found and there are probably others that would love it as much as we do. Do you belong to another internet site? A Group for Nail-Biters with Herpes? Post on the message board about Sleuth! (well maybe not that, but you get my meaning) Let others know outside of Sleuth what a great place this is. I would especially target (for Noir) adults who enjoy logic-type puzzles. That is what kept me addicted to this game for so long.

Wow what a spate of promotions. Congrats all! And thanks Ben for the housekeeping.

So you asked what you can do this week, well, did you get my 32-page email? ;) j/k

I personally would like to see some new avatars, both for detectives and suspects as well, just to add a bit of variety. Maybe TH's and VHs in Cairo too. I have a few other wishes too but i think they would take much more time than you can spare.

Tk-I'd like to see that as well :)

Congratulations to the new Moderating team, I'm sure you'll all do a fantastic job of keeping us rowdy toerags in line :)

I'm gonna throw this one out since it might have been a while since its come up... Can we have ponies now? :D

Thanks to Ben and thanks to all of you, I will do my best to live up to the title.

Now as far as suggestions, can I have a cape to go along with my new title?

Congrats to Nic and Ctown, I'm sure they will make fantastic mods! :-D

How did my thread go from the community helping out Sleuth to ctown getting a cape? Something is wrong here :S

Thanks everyone. I too will do my best to develop my inner mod :-)

Oh and I agree with Adam! It's about time we got some ponies around here!

Mar-24-2009 21:36

Congrats, nicnic and ctown!

Can I have a cape too? Or at least a blanket I can knot around my neck?

Oh and someone mentioned getting new avatars for suspects and detectives... I am pretty good with Photoshop, so if the staff needs any help with making new ones, I can whip up a few!

Just let me know if there is a certain filter you use for coloring!

Ponies? I want a pony! And I think all the mods/editors should have a cape. That would be awesome! ;D
