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!

Well my idea is small on the scale of things but I think it would be interesting to have a twist in randoms where you find yourself up against a rival investigator trying to get your money and your glory by solving the case before you do.

Oh and now for an idea on a bigger scale. It would be nice to be able to have the option to send items you receive from favors and almost impossible cases to your apartment like you would if you were in an agency.

Just a small thing, but now that there are titles we can earn by returning books and delivering packages it would be nice if we could see on the detective page how many we'd returned/delivered so far.

I don't know if this would be too difficult or not, but if we could search our mail or just pull up all the mail from one sleuth, that would be extremely helpful. :)

I propose a "Sleuth Goggles" system for drunken sleuths. Basically, if you've been out on the town, and are "three sheets to the wind" you receive a pop-up message to the effect of:

'WARNING: You are about to accuse Hui Ying Wimberley. You seem to have had quite a lot to drink tonight. If you can answer the question below, you may continue.

The clerk in the butchers is 5ft 9 inches tall. He has 2 kids and enjoys listening to rock music. What does he weigh?'

If the question can be answered, the accusation stands. But, if the brain is too sloshed with alcohol, then the detective is spared a needless false accusation.

LMAO Adam. Love it. I coulda used that a few times. Can it apply to drunken message board posts as well?

I can back that up. I don't drink and sleuth, but I DID pick up a FA while out of my gourd with a hideously dehydrating stomach bug. Similar state of mind, that.

Y'know, I should have a free FA with all the cases I've done while outta my mind from migraines. So far, no falses. *Knocks REPEATEDLY on wood.* If I can go 23 months on a post-stroke brain, and who knows how many headaches, I'd say I deserve a freebie.

;-D ;-D ;-D

(I can hear the Sleuth God's blood pressure rising astronomically from way over here as he reads this. ;-)

Just had a case with 3 notes, 1 thread, 4 librarian alibis, 1 tailor alibi, and 2 suspects who clammed on alibi's despite a 74% and 96% chance of talking with the respective skills I used.

May I suggest a "Rip Suspect's Fingernails off with Pliers" skill?
