It would be helpful, I think, to know who opened the treasure hunt. That way they get the credit and the agency could pay the possibly pay them back.

Or instead of a list of names just the agency name, that will save space. So in the news it will show that Fat Kitten won a trophy and not Reda from FK. Cause the last person should'nt have all the glory, its team effort.
And coming back to the original suggestion: seeing the name of the one who opened the hunt is great idea. Not because I think it should be paid back (could be though, depends on agency strategy) but because then you can see who is contributing to the agency.

I don't mind taking the names of individuals off of the City News, although I would rather see the list of all who participated on the hunt there.

I don't think listing all the names in the Trophy Room is the perfect solution, but I think that taking them all off would be worse.

I still like the suggestion I made above about the counter for successful hunts each agent has participated in. Anyone else like this thought?

Maybe a link at the bottom of the trophy would work. It would keep things from getting cluttered and then we could see everyone's name who participated and the date the trophy was found.

Technically, it would function, but I don't think it's the best solution. I know I wouldn't go clicking on all those links, and I wouldn't want it to say nothing at all by the picture of the treasure. I agree the date would be a nice addition.

I know I wouldnt visit trophy room for that. So news page would be better but since its a lot of info Im ok with no names at all but agency. Knowing who opened the hunt is good and simple you can see it on hunt self like when you see the favors.

I'm for listing everyone's name in the City News, that was involved in the treasure hunt. Don't mean to run anything in the ground, but it would be neat to see all team players names put on the trophy that worked on the hunt. However, if it's too much trouble, then the name of the agency only.

But in the trophy room, you know what agency you're in already (well, hopefully)!

Still no one else in favor of the counter idea, huh?

I agree with Torrey.I have lost a hunt within seconds of another agency solving it as it is a very competitive nature. I would rather have someone crack the safe to win instead of losing it all together.
Maybe if the other agencies were very far behind maybe doing the last hunt would be okay.That is why the majority of my agency has safecracking so they can share the glory.But does it really matter whose name is on the trophy. A well rounded agency should share the accomplishments of trophy winning and happy to have won a hunt.Sadly to say that is what the high scores(fame points and how many hunts won) is based majorally on.I still liked the idea of the runner up to get "fame points only" as a consulation prize.My agency would have alot more fame points then.lol

We tried lobbying for partial fame points for getting some of the favors. (Like 5 fame points for each favor you got so the winning agency would get 300 fame points, but a losing agency that tried would still get 20 or 25 for getting the first 4 or 5 favors.) Ben didn't seem too excited by that, though.
