I absolutely had to sound off here. Found my first treasure. Changed the agency placeholder description for Two Roomates and got some warm fuzzy new penthouse digs. Ellie Etnes and Secret Sam are relaxing back in our luxuriously appointed suite, drinking Vat 51 from the Ancient Chalice of Shaka Zulu.

I want to do it all, I want to Juggle the Lost Treasures of Byzantium and China cackling as I plunge with Moriarty off the jagged rocks at Reichenbach falls. I want to to talk a bootlegger out of murdering someone: me. I want to fight two wars - one with the shady underworld and another with my hip flask. I want to rescue the dame in distress and get a big, fat arsenic kiss on the lips while the Carnegie Hall Symphony Orchestra jangles in my head. "I'm either lovestruck or I've been struck by a blunt instrument", I say as I sag at the knees. Never take a call at 5 am and never get close to noone, especially close enough to whack you with a sap, you sap.

I've never been happier with this game right now. Massive kudos to Sleuth Admin.

Congratulations Ellie.

I'm always happy to see the smaller agencies succeed in a Treasure Hunt. Bravo.

I'm working on getting a Trophy room set up inside Agency Headquarters, so it will be possible to go back and relive past glories, while relaxing with a cold drink.

Toot, toot? Tut, tut!...Ah, well I suppose if one is the type, to make a federal case out of everything, then "nicely done". Oh, by way Miss Ellie Etnes, I have been meaning to tell you, that I have heard, that Morea Oddity does indeed send his, "regards"...

ooh, a trophy case would be fun!

I do have to say that Ellie's description up there is rather entertaining. Where has she gotten to though? She's MISSING!!!

wow, i'm not a very good detective.
i didn't even notice a WHOLE NEW ROOM in our agency! we already have a trophy room.
oops!

It's probably because of the size of the masion - it's so easy to get lost in all the rooms there.
Maybe we need to relocate so that you won't disappear on us? :D

Jun-21-2004 04:31

That should have read "mansion" not "masion" ;)

Jun-22-2004 22:55

yeah, can we put a tracking device on me? what if i fall asleep in the balcony of the new theatre and someone can't find me?! that would be AWFUL!!

Jun-23-2004 04:14

yes it would be, don't want to lose an agent to an accident

Jun-27-2004 06:27

yes, but you seem to think rookies are sparable, maybe i should leave

I have fallen victim to Championitis. I am playing a healing supertough in the new City of Heroes game. I have flaked on this game and my mystery, though I did keep my notes so maybe when I'm not working so much :P
