Everyone has suggestions for new things they would like to see in Sleuth. Well, this is a thread for those ideas. Just post a one or two line synopsis of your concept(s), with a small additional informational blurb if two lines is not enough to capture it. Discussions regarding specific ideas will take place in a separate thread, to keep this one running smoothly. Please do not include complaints, critiques, or other discussion on this thread, for purposes of flow. Anything that is not specifically done for the purpose of outlining an idea will be deleted.

All ideas will be considered; even if no discussion thread for them is immediately started, don't lose heart. Ready, get set, post!

Generally more detail in case files is a good idea. Also, Clients (and people we are doing favors for) shouldn't clam up. It's impolite. Also maybe some sort of "Reputation points" affected by bribes and quit cases and quitting a faction to slip into a different one, or boosted better by solving favors or something. A good reputation might add a bonus to what they pay you. After all, you would rather pay someone trustworthy than fund someone's bribes, wouldn't you?

Instead of Alibi checks, a question to ask CONTACTS ONLY.
"Who was with you when the crime happened?"
"I think it was... Yes, Bob was here the whole time. Also... Yes, Frank was here the whole time."
So if Joe CLAIMS to be with that townie, we know he wasn't. And we don't need to ask Bob and Frank for Alibis. 2in1 answer! But make it CONTACTS ONLY, like the Auto-Questioning.

This is an idea more for the players who still need skill points. :)

Can there be a count that tells you how many experience points are needed to recieve the next skill point? That would be really helpful! Thanks!

what do you have in mind michael? REmember subscribers can always start their own agency

A small agency basically have two choices when it comes to treasure hunts: Hunt treasures and get run over by Vampiric Crypt, or don't hunt treasures. ;)

This makes starting your own agency pretty useless if you ever want to go on a treasure hunt. Anyway, michael has a point, although I don't know if two alternative types of hunt is the sollution. As it is now it punishes subscribers for not joining existing and large agencies as they miss out on some of the action, and a sollution to that is needed.

A way to put money in your safe or at least to pay your agency rent while all agents are out of town would be great.

And a way to see how much money is in the safe while out of town would be great too. Perhaps this could be a bonus feature of having a clerk that you can "phone and ask".
