Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Sleuth Talk

Sep-19-2005 20:32

There are always lots of suggestions about the game flying around, to the point where I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a new section of the message board just for suggestions?

In which case, it could be called "Suggestion Box?" ; )

But it might not be the best idea....things work pretty well as they are, I think.

What I have observed is that most ideas get kicked around pretty well here in sleuth talk, with different permutations and ramifications threshed out. Good ideas get implemented or get dragged up again after a while when they haven't been implemented and people still hanker after them -- or suggested over again by someone new.

I think all of that is a productive process.

Personally, when I REALLY want to make a suggestion that I think Ben will eventually read, I post it on the thread in Game Announcements where he asks for input, things we think will make the game more fun."

Anyway, anyone with suggestions, or suggestions about suggestions, feel free to post here. OR if you start a new thread about it, please post it with a specific title!

Oops, I forgot to mention the name of my thread. It's entitled the "Hall of Fame Room." Just so you'd know. Thanks!

DaRu, I think it's cool to have each suggestion in their own threads, if you like. And THANK YOU for making the title informative, rather than "A Suggestion" or something like that! : )

I just meant this as a thread people could use if they wanted, and maybe as a prototype of a new section on the boards, if it seemed useful. I'm not really tied to it...

Why doesn't the Sleuth Admin put a "Forgot your password?" link at the bottom of the Login screen? If you forgot your passsword, this is the form you need to fill out:

DETECTIVE: __________________________
E-MAIL:_____________________________

Then Ben could send you your password, and you don't have to create a new detective!
(I hope this wasn't suggested before...)

Yes, it's me. Colonel Shanty in a different detective. Just to let you know.

Moonshh do you mean one thread, or a seperate message board?

I think one thread, becomes a lot of history and mixed up responses to different ideas. A seperate message board....you just go there, to see all the new ideas. And if ben implements one of them, he posts it in announcements like you said.

Jstkdn, u really forgot your password? hee! Now ,how did that happen? ;) hehe

Jstkdn, I really meant another section to the boards, where each thread could be about a specific new suggestions. Like we alreadys have "Sleuth Chat" and "Detective Agency Recruiting," maybe a section specifically for suggestions would be helpful to hone the categories?

There wont be much treads left in sleuth chat then ;) Since almost all talk here is suggestions. All the other questions go usually to newbie...
