I think that when you see a detective's stats, it should say how many false accusations they have, cause some directors don't want people who get a lot of false accusations.

People don't hate me cause I'm posting threads. I'm just giving ideas to help improve the game. And you suggested that I bump my old threads up.

I don't think people care how many false a detective has. It is up to the other more experienced in the agency to teach them how to solve cases and when to pay shady. If know one is going to teach them these things how will they learn? Reading the threads helps, as a director racedogg2 it is part of your job to train others.

Racedogg, you said you were listening. Please listen. There's a difference between bumping up one thread and bumping up all of them.

There is also the concept of being selective. If a thread is inane, annoying, or has lots of stupid things about you in it, why bump it up? It is only going to annoy people more.

And I don't hate you, but I do think it is annoying how much of the boards you consume. I think it would be wise of you to take the advice jstkdn gave you and lie low for a while.

Try listening more and talking less.

Sometimes, people might not respond to your ideas because they don't think they are that good, or they have seen them before, or they have seen too much of you recently and don't want to encourage you to go overboard.

I think the community has responded really clearly to you, and it is meant kindly, in that we want to help you develop manners so that you will have a good time here.

But I just struggled to recruit new members to The Underground - don't be surprised you are having trouble recruiting members to your agency with everything that's all over the boards about you!

This idea of listing falses is just plain dumb. People can get rid of them, so who's to say how many falses a person has gotten in their career?

And it's not getting the falses that is so bad, anyway, it's getting three and getting retired.

As a director I wouldnt need to see the false record of a person. but I would'nt mind seeing their skill list when I look at thier page. I think that could give me more ideas about how they play and help me with recruiting.

How about a 'resume' - an optional form that lists experience, skills, money, false accusations, prior agencies and hours you like to work - things that directors might like to see but that don't need to be PUBLIC to everyone. It would be something that an agent could fill out, and would only be accessible to directors when they are hiring. Like a special PM only longer and more focussed.

I think it is not a good idea to make more of a detective's details (like false or quit cases) public. There should be some privacy with regard to a detective's stats.

Also, I have to say I am not for the idea of one detective having more information about another detective. Eg. A director "seeing" details about another detective being recruited. This is not fair. If you think about it, doesn't the recruit have as much right to ask for particulars about the director too, in order to make an assessment of the director?

I really don't think such additional information are necessary.

Racedogg, I think you misunderstood me. I did not tell you to bump ALL your threads up. Just 1 recruitment one.

In addition I have told you to stop creating new threads about the same topic. But I did not mean to say with this, for you to bump ALL your threats up.

That would be threads, not threats. :)

Frankly, I think some more information about the detectives you are hiring would be welcome. In particular, what other agencies they are in, or to which other doubles they are tied. Also, in what 3 threads they posted last, in order to get a feel. It would get rid of some bad characters around, joining agencies. And allows the opportunity to ask for a frame of reference of a previous director. We find many bad ones, joining one agency after the other, with the same problems.

It may be that I feel less need for privacy then others. But I have no issues with this community knowing, how many skills, money, the name of my double etc. The reason why, I feel I have nothing to hide. Now, if I was up to no good, then yes, I would have something to hide.

Personally I think wanting to know someones falses is irrelevant. As I care more, if they actually pay their own falses off. I probably have more falses on my list, then a 2 week old detective anyway.
