The Shady Relief Fund (hereinafter "the Fund") is a fund organized to help provide financial assistance to detectives owing between $500,000.00 and $1,000,000 to the Shady Character due to False Accusations.

The rules are simple:

1. To receive assistance you must contribute to the Fund a set amount monthly (amount to be determined).

2. You must have 2 False Accusations on your record before the Fund will pay monies towards your Shady fee.

3. The Fund will only pay half of your total Shady fee as per Shady's associate in Delhi.

4. The Fund will only provide assistance to a detective once in a 12 month period. If you apply for assistance from the Fund and are approved, you will not be eligible to receive assistance from the Fund for the next 12 months. However, if you wish to receive assistance from the Fund at the end of that 12 month period, you will be required to continue making monthly contributions during the deferral period.

5. You must have been a member of the Fund (i.e., contributing to the Fund on a monthly basis) for six months before you can apply for financial assistance.

6. You may make your monthly contributions by wiring money to The Shady Relief Fund from your nearest financial institution.

After reading the opinions posted here and conferencing with my board of advisors, I believe that the trust issue is not one that can be overcome. And since those who have posted seem to have no opposition to lending, The Shady Relief Fund shall convert itself to an interest free lending institution. Terms and Conditions will be posted on The Shady Relief Fund's biography in the near future.

I thank you all for your input.

Sincerely,
Puck Shady
President of The Shady Relief Fund

Umm if you want to lend out your money to those who would like to use it, that is very commendable.
Although I still don't understand why you feel there is a great need for this service in the first place.
I could understand, if players would lose their detective permanently if they couldn't pay off Shady. But we can reinstate our detectives, and in my opinion the cost of doing so is no big deal. I fully enjoyed reestablishing my contacts, and loved playing AI cases without my contacts. It was a challange, when little in the game is extremely challenging. Also as many have stated this community is closely knit, kind and generous. So basically we are already helping each other out, quietly and without fanfare.

To be honest, I was not surprised by the opinions expressed here. I tried setting up a dedicated pay Shady fund in my agency. Every single detective politely declined the suggestion. Most felt that their detective was their responsibility, and really wanted to pay Shady off by their own hard work. They felt that having that safety net would take the pressure off them as players, and ultimately lead to more FA's.

Best of luck to you in your endeavour to help the citizens of sleuth.

I'm sure I have an opinion, but all I can think is that recently I can't decide if people have lost the art of writing concisely, or whether I've just fallen into the habit of living my life in the confines of a text message.

There is an art to writing concisely? Since I am certain I never actually found it, I can only conclude that I couldn't have lost it. : o

What she said. ^^

I know I was long-winded but I felt I needed to be as complete as possible in stating my post. Plus, I did swipe all that out on mobile. And one part was swiped more than once! Because my demon phone Lilith hid it from me. By the time I find it, I had already posted my second thing. I was done with it at that point, so I just quietly closed the tab while screaming profanities in my head. And believe it or not there was at least one thing that was left out of the second draft. But I won't add it here as I fear being too verbose for the adorable rodents among us and it seems it has been concluded anyway.
Mwah!

This isn't an opinion at all, just my situation 😃.

I already have two FAs from quite a few months, both by guessing (I guessed the first one, and then thought since I already have one, why not guess a second time!).
It's around $300k for me to pay off, (I don't remember if it's the Delhi price or not) and between two accounts I have around $170k, but I really want to hold on to all that money because it took me quite a while to earn it. So I have this feeling that if I pay off Shady, I'd still be *extremely* tempted to guess once again, and having two FAs makes me tread much more carefully as guessing isn't an option anymore. (I don't know if anyone else thinks similarly, I don't expect them to, either. 😃 )

*Wrong stat, I lug around $1700k. (What I'm trying to say is that, though I can pay Shady off, I am holding onto my money.)
But still, there's always the risk that I might *completely by accident* get a third FA, and then I'd be in trouble.
(Though I would prefer to create a new detective rather than reactivate this one, if that does happen.)

This thread made me reconsider my not-clearing-Shady-debt decision, but to be safe I'm just going to transfer most of the money to my other account (yes, I'm still not paying him).

Ebony pm sent. It may not apply to you, but it may affect your decision.

And maybe Secret_Squirrel is right about my long-windedness.... Hmm.
