I am looking for a young detective with complementary skills and qualifications to open up a detective agency in partnership in New York. Please send me a letter detailing your attributes and expectations. Thank you!

Once again, if you ever want a short stay at an agency to have a look around, let me know me, Lady Ruby Caplan, Danny Mack or Lady Emerald Devon know.

And if you do decide to start an agency and are stuck for P.E contacts, I'll be more than happy to lend a detective with the P.E contact you need to clear case files.

Happy sleuthing :)

Hi Wilfred. ;-)

It's nice to meet you. ;-)

Like Lady Ruby said, archetype (Tough, Charming, Smart, or a combination of any two of these) has little to do with actual casework. It deals with your ability to acquire skills for less skill points than normal. If you have one archetype, it means you can acquire skills from that particular group for 4 less skill points than those who don't have that archetype (i.e.-- Basic Interrogation will cost a Tough archetype 3 skill points. It costs me 7.). People with a mixed archetype (Tough and Smart, for example), have a 2 point discount on their particular skills (i.e.--Basic Interrogation will cost a Tough and Smart person 5 points, versus 7 again for me.). Archetypes have *ZERO* to do with contacts or the ability to solve a case (I know of one person who is a Tough archetype, and their skills and equipment are ALL charming or smart. They have absolutely no tough to their name, besides that archetype. It just means that they will need to spend more skill points to get skills. Not a big deal for them. ;-)

I am glad that you've managed to save up at least $10, 000 for an agency deposit. Sounds like you've been working hard the past few days. However, you're only 4 days old, according to your profile. You say that you've had some experience with game mechanics, from your statements, I'm wondering just how much experience you've actually had. It takes a while to figure out all the intricacies of Sleuth. I have to wonder just how much real-time experience you've had.

Agencies help a great deal for solving casework, dealing with problems, and acquiring gear and money. However, they take a *HUGE* amount of money to run (even the smaller ones). Most Founding Directors of successful agencies didn't start their groups until they had at least 1 million experience and at least $100,000 in their bank account (most have a great deal more). You've been here 4 days and have 5,000 exp. Like Lady Emily, I think it might be more advantageous for you to wait a bit before starting your own group. But again, you do what you want. I hope you have good luck with your agency.

I've read a few of your other posts. You sound familiar to me. Have we met before??

Again, good luck with your group. Hope you do well here at Sleuth. ;-)

Thank you very much for all your help, especially the immense support of Emily Hill and the conspiring Lady Caplan. Even though I can't think of something that a small, inexperienced agency can do for a large, famous agency ran by the best detectives you can find but we will return the favours one way or another!

I am happy to announce that I found a partner that shares my enthusiasm and lack of funds and, in all our stubbornness, we are only hours away from diving into a reckless and adventurous endeavour. We will announce our existence here fleetly after that!
