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!

The new addition to villain hunting in Cairo has gotten me to thinking. I would love to see an Arch Villain Hunt, that was more of a competition. Sort of like the treasure hunts, but only for individuals instead of agencies. Let's say you need to go to your faction in Shangri-la and buy a golden ticket for the hunt, then you head to the Prince and get assigned your villain. It is a race to the finish. There would be two lengths of hunts, a short one (all cities and the sluethetania once) or a longer hunt (all cities once plus revisiting two of the cities and two trips on the ship). The ship is the equalizing factor, since you may have to wait to board it, or may need to wait until it docks to get off and finish up hunting. Why the golden ticket, so that you can travel the Sleuthetania as much as needed without having to pay for travel each time in the hunt. I'm not sure what the prizes could be, but bragging rights to being the best at this competition could be one.
And of course it would be great if the ship had the same type of questions as Cairo.

There should be a time limit for the pms until auto-deletion. Trying to delete 80+ pages of pm is too much, especially when after each page of deletion, the mailbox keeps reseting itself to the last page (where you receive your most recent mail). I would say "30 days" as a time limit.
I mean there's an option to save our pms if we really want to keep them forever.

I was singing in the shower yesterday (rather badly, I'll admit ;-), when a thought occurred to me.

We don't have an icon for City Hall on any of the maps.

I realize it's about a -45 on the scale of 1-10 for the serious things in life, but still.

How many maps have YOU looked at that didn't have a picture/icon of the local city hall??

:-.

Just a thought. ;-)

A title for anyone who is/has been top guy in a faction. It could be different for each faction, as it already is, but you could keep it forever as a memory, as in "Ex-Universal Aspirant" or "Ex-High Philosopher". Just a thought.

the capture of a detective. this would be a detective in an agency. the capture would be by a named villian in the city where the agency has it' s headquarters. the agency would either have to pay 50k to release the hostage or find the hideout where the hostage was taken ( the same as finding a treasure in a city ). the hostage could NOT PLAY the game as long as they were a hostage ( thus the incentive for the agency to pay the fee or "find" the hostage.). this would create a new random dynamic in the game nd also a greater community among the agency players ( if you need more ideas contact nephi ).

Would love it if there was a way to see what evidence had been matched to that particular suspect when you visit him/her, the way motive (real/fake) is shown.
