We've made a few changes to agencies tonight. These are ideas that have been floating around for awhile, but I hope they're worth the wait.


1) BROADCAST SLEUTH MAIL TO ALL AGENTS

There is a new tool available in the agency HQ (and in other cities' field offices) to send a Sleuth Mail message to everybody in your agency. This is a feature that I included in Shades of Mystery since launch but hadn't been available in Noir until now.


2) DEMOTING / BOOTING DELINQUENT DIRECTORS

Agency Directors can now boot or demote another director provided they have not logged in for at least 30 days.


3) MORE LENIENT EVICTION / LOCK OUT POLICY FOR AGENCY RENT

As of now, if your agency falls 2 days behind on rent, it will no longer be completely obliterated.

Instead, you will be locked out of your headquarters until a penalty equal to 5 days' rent is paid.


Hopefully this makes it a little bit easier for everybody to maintain and manage healthy and active agencies going forward.


Happy Sleuthing!

Thanks Ben. The changes are great, especially the Broadcast sleuth mail :-)

These are some great changes! I'm glad to see some suggestions from the HLI thread and others have made it into the mix.

Wait..... whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Does this mean we can get old agencies back that were obliterated prior to this change? Or do they stay in oblivion forever? :(

Sadly nicnic, they are still only wisps of smoke in our old Sleuth memories. It does mean that if you set up a new agency and happen to wander off for a bit again, you won't lose all your stuff and boards though. Which is a pretty big improvement.

*sniffles* I got excited for a minute. At least I know I won't lose this one now. I love the update and think it's much needed!
