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!

Yes, Big Sherlock, but many people have suggested a "message board search engine." I think P0RN0 made a thread about it. Anyway, I am happy you are making suggestions. Keep it up, and maybe Ben might use one or two. ;)

I really like the idea of a failed case going to another agency. Expecially if many of these cases were sent to Pandora's Directive. O:)

I think that the women need purses. Sorry, I can get a little girly sometimes.

I have posted this idea couple of times, but i'm afraid that Ben was so unlucky that he missed it, and i would like to know what do you think about it...

That would be an extra help for everyone if Shady could ask for favors. As a reward he could lower the price of removing the F.A...
let's say there's function which is copying the experience points into dollars to pay
cash=f(experience);
after we make a favor for shady it could look like
cash=(1/2)*f(experience)
i know that the cash can be dependent on other information but it was a simply example...

Maybe it's been brought up before but I'm wondering if there is any way,on the Agency message boards, where the Directors can save things that they want the others to see to the top without having to keep bumping it up. Like in my agency I have a thread that welcomes new people in,with the policies on it,along with other threads I want them to read. Would it be too difficult to have it where Directors can leave them at the top at all times and not have it be pushed down to the bottom when we make new threads? Sometimes it gets to be alot having to bump up all the time, especially when detectives join,then leave and you have to keep recruiting.

Hope this made sense or I didn't complicate it. I'm notorious for doing that hehe ;)

I agree with the brewer. Many sites have what is called "pinned topics" that never need to be bumped up. I think that would be a good idea but it should be limited to directors.

Dec-10-2005 12:29

That's what I said and meant, for Directors only to do that :)

Great idea Mak! Ive been having the same problems.

Ok, so it's been a while since anyone made a suggestion, and, I agree that the game is almost flawless. :D

However, it occured to me that it would be pretty cool if the background themes had more than just aesthetic value: say, for example, whichever theme you're using slows down the standing degradation with that faction. It would be nice to be able to switch faction themes according to your needs.

That's a really cool idea, and it would give all the themes and acquiring them some more meaning :)
