Hey all :) Bored today and was thinking about all the cool stuff I would love to see implemented in the game to make it better and more interesting.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a place to have the VH clues so you don't have to worry about missing one or running out of bio space to post them?

I'm curious what everyone else would want if anything were possible. What would you like to see in Sleuth?

(Maybe Ben is listening! ha)

My Scholar Vampirion is right. Cairo as a city is forbitten for many detectives as they have no access to it no matter if it is the starting or middle or ending city in a TH. Take you as an example Cristopher....can you travel to Cairo? No my friend!
Another disadvantage of Cairo is that there are no organisations to initiate a TH there.
The final outcome would be that many competitive agencies will move to Cairo (as Cairo offers many advantages that other cities do not offer)and newbies will be xcluded from treasure hunts and all those agencies that will move there (we know that the only reason we don't move to Cairo is because no THs are around!) progresively

I believe this thread is to suggest ideas, not pick apart the ideas of others.

And on that note, as I said before, great ideas so far, keep the ideas coming.

*clears throat and steps on soap box* As the fair Lady Jas has said, this thread is for suggesting new ideas, not picking apart others' suggestions. Maybe since the VC is so clever at attacking others' ideas, we could begin picking apart their ideas? Oh wait. We can't/ They haven't suggested any. *looks innocently at the vampires* Would any of you like to suggest a flawless improvement that has absolutely no draw backs or complications? We're all waiting with bated breath. *bats eyelashes and steps off soap box*

There's no harm in fleshing ideas out. Even if it is just for fancy.

The thing I'd really like to do, and have never been able to con / cajole/ coerce Ben into doing, is to make agencies look more like apartments. *coughs* we ended up doing it for Shades and it does make Agencies feel a lot more like a building than a set of links.

Oh I'd also like a Sleuth car, but would settle for a pony.

Happy Sleuthing!

Alright now lets stay civil and remember we're all friends and love this game please. Amber please dont lets antagonize the situation here.

A peaceable solution could be that Cairo *could* be opened to TH's but it would be a single city hunt that could ONLY be opened in Cairo, therefore newbies would not have to worry about not having access as only agencies WITH access would be the only ones there to open said hunt. On another note, why not make a couple of new treasures that are Cairo only?

Does everyone agree on this solution? Undead and alive?

I still say a sleuth fair would be kinda fun. :D

*A limit on number of favors completed before getting a contact. (I know, that would lead to people being able to pick who they get. for example, if the limit is 50, and someone has completed 49 without getting a contact, they can basically choose who their contact would be, by only completing favors for townie X.)
*A limit on repeat clues during an AVH (sorry, but three days of completed cases with repeat clues would try the patience of a saint, and I think we can all agree I'm no saint ;) )
*The ability to go back and try again on failed AVHs (most of which i just got fed up with the frickin repeat clues and guessed.)
*Ability to switch from steepers to tigers or vice versa (although why someone would go from tigers to steepers is beyond me, since the game is obviously biased toward the tigers.)
That's all I can think of for now.

I like the idea of opening up Cairo to TH's. For newer players, it gives them something to work towards. Part of the fun of this game is exploring and learning. But it also keeps things fresh for those that have been around for a while. Seasoned players are valuable to the game too. (I point to the "resurgence" of players like myself.)

Jason's idea of a World Fair is amazingly cool. It is perfect for the time period we play in. Magicians, Vaudville, new inventions, a vision of the future...

I'm wondering if it might be time for some new cities to join the roster. Paris, Berlin, Moscow, or how awesome would Venice be???? Istanbul for an exotic flair? I can see it now, Airship travel to Berlin, gondolas in Venice, rug and spice merchants in Istanbul.

What about some new transitions/twists. Play up the Noir/Pulp side of Sleuthville. Run into more spies, have a suspect get picked up randomly by the cops for that bank heist that happened last week, your case stops anarchists from assassinating the (insert local faction leaders name here).

My dear Detective Autumnsprings aren't you a bit overeacting?
I really see no reason why you are so touchy.
Yes this post is about new ideas and this obviously means proposing and discussing them. Are you against the discussion part ? Please help me understand as i really find it difficult to follow you.

SS yes i like yr ideas (and i can only hope that saying so will not make Detective Autumnsprings touchy again) conserning the car and the new look of the agencies. Maybe this is also a good way to spend our sleuth money.

What i would really like to see in Sleuth is a way to make all these xp points and gold a bit usefull

Detective jroepel excellent idea concerning the new city. I really don't care what this city could be....simply a new city will add a lot in the game. World fair is also a nice idea that i forgot to mention
