Don't give your detective a name that starts with "A"
there's only 7 of us logged on and I get Hey you messages from someone who has been playing like, 2 days.
if only I'd named myself Zelda!

Could you lend me a few bucks? Am short of 'em.

And agree with Adam. They are in fact annoying

Of course, if you send messages to Newbies welcoming them to the game, you don't get very much strange stuff sent to you. I had gotten loads of strange messages until I started sending this out:


From: Sara Buxton
To: Quite a few Newbies...

Hi! How are you liking the game? If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :)
~Sara


And now I just seem to get legitimate questions.

Very well said, Anikka.

Good thing we can just 'ignore' them.

I feel so lucky. I have had a few "hey there" notes but I haven't yet received one like Ms Helen or any of the others listed earlier.

So don't feel bad Admoor. Us lower down the list still get some of the wierd ones. :-)

I feel kind of left out. I've never recieved any weird notes. Well, a few perhaps, but only from a few very talkative old people in here, and none of them have asked me for money, password or you-know-what. But I've recieved no notes at all from the newbies. They don't even respond to my greetings... Is it my name or face that keeps them away? Or am I just too damn hard to find. I want weird messages in my inbox, damnit! Or preferably nice ones, but messages none the less...

Thats why I don't get any messages from newbies.

Having a Japanese name must really help me in not being found so easily. Most sites don't even support kanji, so I was really surprised when it actually worked. ;D

But I'm pretty new anyway so no one wants my advice. >D

In the past i was receiving 2-3 daily! Now they are 2-3/ per week

Shadows, if you want weird messages i can sure send you some LOL. Yeah, i think that scary face probably kept them away. I once received a newbie message asking if i want to be her online bf... Maybe i should've used a meaner looking face...
