Everything old is new again... or maybe not.

And let me start with a preemptive "Puh-lease, freedom of speech and all that aside, let's not turn this in to a debacle."

So, 'some' people have been getting up my a... err I mean politely pointing out to me, that the whole "some people have more than two subs in the same agency, and isn't that against the 'rules'" is banging away behind the scenes.

I've asked Ben to look at this with a view to scrapping the concept that more than two subs in the same agency is a 'bad' thing.

To be bluntly honest it's never been particularly well policed unless it was by self-policed by certain players who were trying to edge out the competition in Treasure Hunts.

My personal opinion is that the 'againsts' never really equalled the 'fors', and that we're at the point where as a community the TH scene just isn't that cutthroat any more.

So, I'm more than happy to go with the flow, as I suspect no-one really minds anymore.

But I'll leave the final word to Ben, of course.

Please feel free to discuss politely.

Please limit your lunatic ravings to a minimum nic :D

Hello, lovely people of Sleuth! :)

I come in peace. :) lol

Anyway, I have to say, I am guilty as charged! I had two agents in my agency right now who are all alts of my 'fallen friends' (friends who left the game a long time ago). I apologize for making these two alts subscribe. I have my reason.

And the reason is that Aknas, now has two (2) false accusations. *gulp*
And I can't afford to pay Shady, the amount of 198M.... I think there was an announcement some time ago that Shady's price will drop once you reach a certain XP... but that's not the case yet, apparently, or I just misunderstood the announcement?

So, how can I pay Shady? With the help of these two dets, of course. Aknas doesn't have that amount of money and she can't play as long as she's got two FAs, she'll risk getting a third one. The two dets can help her pay Shady.

I could ask the members of sleuth for some help, but that would be too much of a hassle, what with asking and then inviting etc, etc, etc.

Weird though, when I had these two subbed, the following day, SS posted this, lol

Anyway, I have been playing another game, and in that game, the devs are strict about only having two accounts. Get a third one and your original account gets suspended. I don't know how they do it, but it actually works. And you can also be a sitter. You can only sit two accounts as well.

Ok, I think I have explained my side eventhough I think there is no need for me to explain, lol. I am glad that the players of Sleuth have also matured and are somewhat lenient on this issue. We are evolving, lol

Keep on Sleuthing! :)

Can i say its nice to meet you aknas and i think i just had a mini-heart attack when you said 198 million, the fact that didnt scare you off, wins you my respect. Seriously. I will stop complaining about owing shady 300 grand now. And yeah i dont think you need to explain yourself or apologise, This doesnt seem to be a big issue anymore around sleuth. :)

Hi Aknas! I didn't realize you were still around.

I think if we dove into this issue a bit, we'd probably find that it has become common, for situations like your own. A lot of people have left the game and I could see agencies gift subbing their old members just so they can keep their agencies somewhat active and maintain contacts, etc.

lol Jason. I think she may have left out a decimal point ;-)

Jun-19-2012 15:57

Thanks, Jason.

Hi Nic. I am just lurking. ;)

Here's what I got from the British Shady: Pay $1980021 to remove all false accusations from your record... I guess that should be 19.8M right? :D

Not good in math, lol

Jun-19-2012 15:59

Hahaha. No.. It's $1.98 million.

Also... take a trip to Delhi if you have close to that amount. Shady in Delhi is MUCH more lenient.

Jun-19-2012 18:44

BLAIR!

That's how I ended up with the two and gift sub. I did it just for the contact because there were only two of us at the time in the agency. (which of course now is not an issue).

Aknas is back! One of the best detectives in Sleuth World!
Welcome back my dear and happy sleuthing !
(msg me if you would like my V form to pay a visit to Shady...i have my way to soften him a lot)

Nice to see you back Aknas :D

This thread should be proof enough how the dynamic of this game has changed. There used to be a time when this would have turned into an argument before page 2 :s
