TAKE 2:

Anyone who wants to resume discussions on something I've had to clean up on the HLI thread, please feel free to discuss it here or make your own thread about the specific topic.

Anyway please feel free to discuss to your hearts content any particular idea that has been risen on the ideas thread.

PS I really liked Charlie's archnemesis idea.

I like that idea, too, SS. A bank should be so much more than just a place to break into when you need a treasure.

I'm also keen on AV hunting sleuths picking up a nemesis. Every good gumshoe needs one!

Thanks guys :)

To add some risk to it, the bank could get robbed every once in a while, during which time nobody can access their money.

To get it back, we could have something like a cross between a treasure hunt and an arch villain hunt where agencies need to work to track down the bank robber, and every day that the bank robber remains free, the money depletes a little bit.

I also like the idea of having a nemesis for Arch Villain Hunts. It would make hunts a lot more fun and create a lot more story for it.

I will reiterate my support and fondness of Charlie's Arch Nemesis idea... Anyone and everyone would want a stab at capturing their Arch Nemesis and it seems like something the game should explore.

A big one-off prize is amazing and it should afford enough incentive to add miles to the journey of any sleuther.

Personally I'm not against Heim's bank idea. But wouldn't mini-games be more worth while place to waste your money (or make them grow)? A Casino? More things like the races in Shanghai. Greyhounds and what have you.

In response to anais on editing posts.

I know somewhere, a long time ago, it was mentioned on the boards why Ben didn't want to add the edit/delete buttons etc.

It all boiled down to something like this. When you have edit and delete buttons it can ruin the continuity of threads....errr if anyone else can remember what was said now might be a good time to chime in :)

Well, if the mods had the power to entirely delete posts, that would be good too. :) Otherwise everyone is just stuck wondering what the heck was so bad that it got deleted! ;)

Re: Heim's bank idea: I think the interest rates etc regarding the bank should be simple, otherwise it resembles too much like RL and boy, i've already got a headache thinking about it.

Re: Charlie's Arch Nemesis idea: I third that (after Miss Parr). love it, love it, love it. No need to say more.

I don't think I'd want to over-complicate any 'bank' idea. A very simple, you put it in for X days, it earns you interest after X days, you take it out. I'd not see the bank for loans. I think THAT is fraught with all kinds of problems. esp with subscriptions running out and whatnot. Hehee though I'd love to see a director put their agency up for collateral without telling the agency members and then have the bank foreclose.

I think having loans could be fun. You can only get so much money in a loan (tied to your exp, something like 1/20th) and if you fail to pay, some guys turn up and break your legs, stealing all the cash you have till your debt is paid, and losing you half your cases. It'd make people pay on time!

Oh! I mean... errrm...
