I am shamelessly going to post this, so I then shamelessly can link to it from the moderators picks.

Hoping that we get more people subbing. For the simple reason, this game exists because people subscribe.

(Disclaimer: Mods, or even anyone else...make money of this game. It is volunteer run. Subscription money is used to pay for hardware and software to run this game.)

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.

Subscribing really added to the game. Now I am part of an agency, get to participate in hunts, and I get help with my harder cases.

I recommend everyone try at least for a month.

Excellent!!!!! Welcome!!!!!

I subscribed today with my girlfriend too: not just for playing, but also to reward the creativeness and the very good job done by the creators.

we just have to wait for shootouts to be implemented, and then we'll have the perfect "roaring '30s" game! o_O

Actually, I find the subscriber fee generous. To be part of XBox live, or other online games, the typical fee is between $10-25 a month. However, you do get more cases, move between cities, the opportunity to join an agency/create an agency, and feature mysteries.

I definitely recommend subscribing, even for just a month to try it out.

Jstkdn, I think, just let her subscription run out probably. ;)

As for the pricing to play the game, $5.50 is actually very reasonable ,as well as all the other prices. No reason for complaint on that in my opinion! :)

I subbed after only 3 days playing i totaly love this game and subbing gave me access to my agency which has helped me so much (in light of that ild like to thank all the members of black swan for all there help)but 10 cases a day .....is great wish there were somthing i could do for more lol.

there realy isnt a reson not to sub i mean heack a movie ticket cost more than 5.50 and 10 cases takes a good bit longer than a movie.
