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

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

I was thinking about playing the role of crunchpatty for this episode, but I'll refrain and keep up my positive demeanor I have been exhibiting on the message boards since I came back :-)

Something to think about as old faces slowly return to the game, myself included after 5 years away. Although it may not be as competitive as it once was, something that is a little disheartening is when you wander back into your old agency and you see the high scores of agencies and individuals who are no longer subscribed or active. Is it possible to maybe consider creating an archive/inactive vs subscribed/active high score list.
It may be one way that old faces, and even the new ones feel a little competition and fire again when they play.
I know it is a little off topic from the "more than two subs in the same agency". Part of why that may still be occurring is due to the fact that there are less people playing now than in the past. Personally I prefer a warm body actually taking part in an agency than one that is filled to the brim with subs. Whatever. That's just me. It's more compelling and satisfying, and hell it is much more fun kicking Al Q's butts with my living breathing team.

Just to follow up on what I previously wrote. By clearing the boards and moving old high scores and inactive agency/detectives to an archive high score board, starts everyone with a clean slate. New competition. New incentives to be active again.
