I notice still a lot of unsubbed people go through time and effort to find an agency to join on the recruitment thread.

Perhaps maybe it is a better idea to give them read only rights, and when they try to post that they are directed to a new page with a disclaimer (or FAQ) on only being able to join agencies when they are subbed. Then a list of reasons to sub. If there are more questions to go to the newbies thread.

I'd be willing to write it, with some help of other experienced Sleuths.

The disclaimer/FAQ may become a good comprehensive guide for people who are not aware of the additional benefits subscribing would bring.

6. Being able to store cases, and let an experienced detective help you out.
With this you can not only benefit from other peoples contacts, but also they can help solve your case with their additional skills and equipment. This means you can play cases at a higher level (more experience, more money), without quitting or getting too many false accusations. Also, you can save cases for the next day.

7. Climb the agency corporate ladder from rookie, to agent, to officer, to director. Each level will give you special priviliges and features.

8. Each agency has a private message board, that can only be viewed by agency members.

Additional fun by being social

1. Share a home with others in one of the cities

2. Make friends, become part of a small family

3. Each agency has a message board, that can only be viewed by other agency members

4. Playing with others is more fun then to play alone.

How to subscribe?

1. Click the subscribe button, look for it on the right hand side on top of your screen. Follow directions there.
A) Using Paypal
B) For those that can not use pay pal, cash or cheques are allowed as well (provided they are US currency or cheques from a US bank.) Where to send your cash is also described on the subscription page.

2. There are several subscription offers:
1 month = $5,50
2 months = $8,00
3 months = $10,00
6 months = $19,00
1 year = $36,00
You can tell compared to other game sites, this is an absolute steal!

3. You can not pay at all? The only solution is by writing a featured mystery. However, keep in mind it may take you several days to write, several dates to edit and change after review. It will take some time before a featured mystery is approved, and it will only get approved if it has a good quality. Please contact the sleuth admin, visit city hall under game info.

If you have additional questions please visit: city hall, newbie message board and pose your question there.

Looks good overall, but in the first paragraph under "WHY SHOULD YOU SUBSCRIBE?", I would add "Are you trying to reach the top of a faction but someone else always has a higher rating?"

The reason is that in an agency faction cases can be given to whoever needs them. I know that it's possible for the unsubbed detective to get to the top of a faction, but I also know it's easier (and more common) for those in an agency to do the same.

My only other comment is that, as you stated the overview may be too long for some. So I'd put the link at the top instead of the bottom, since if someone doesn't read the whole thing, and they don't scroll through, they won't see the link if it's at the bottom.

Good one Andy.

Should we throw in a free 12 step program, CFM? :)

Okay jstkdn, it's occured to me that not all directors of agencies are still subscribed! This may make it difficult for them to recruit new members if they can't leave messages on the recruitment board. Just a thought...

Hmmm, I didn't think of that. Let me mull over that one.

Is there an agency where none of the directors have a subscription?
