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

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!

so what about this idea about separate chat rooms or more channels in bar chat, so that when people are copying and pasting their latest and greatest RP lot line for one and all to see (just in case anyone has forgotten where the RP Boards are of course) they can go to another channel and then come back when they are done. Or people might just like more adult company, or childish company lol. I can't imagine it's much of a programming difficulty. But is it a bit, cliquey, to create more channels to separate an already modest number of people in chat?

sorry * more* hosting a Vent server on another game, I know that most people end up in the 'foyer' coz that's where all the 'chat' is , and only one or two people slink off to do their own thing. So is it really worth it?

I do kinda like the idea of having a 'basic' bank, where you could do simple deposits and withdrawals, and have your money available at any bank in Sleuthville. Loans, robberies, and such, I'm not so sure about. (This is another idea that's been bandied about by previous detectives, and had fairly positive feedback from the community. Anyone that wants to go trolling for the threads, you might start looking bout a year and a half ago or so.)

I'm not entirely sure what all Charlie's wanting to involve in his 'nemesis' hunt. I've been working on a similar idea for quite a while now, but I'm not sure what differences are entailed in his proposal. I'm glad, though, that he and others are interested in this kind of idea. I hope something comes of it soon.

As for the different chat channels, I, like Squirrel, wonder just how many channels/rooms are really needed. *shrug*

Editing one's posts has been a pretty continual suggestion/want of the community for quite a while now. I do try my best to make sure I don't make any errors before I hit the "Post" button, but it sure would make things easier if I didn't have to be hypervigilant all the time when writing and posting stuff.

It might be an idea to do some research on other sites, and see if there's a similar system to ours that also incorporates post/thread-editing. That would make things easier for Ben and company to look at and determine if it were possible to duplicate/create here.

Thank you!! ;-D

if not post editing, I would like to see replies that have been deleted, actually deleted, erased, gone, kapoof, and not have 'this reply has been deleted etc etc', not coz I care who sees I delete something, but because when someone posts 6 times in a row the same thing by accident it takes up a lot of space and makes it look as though they've been censored when in fact we're just cleaning up.
