I've had this idea for months and hope others will like it, for sure you Ben, wink, wink!. Ok, here it is. Lately I've noticed that Fat Chuck & Chronestron's names are no longer on the High Score Board, and soon Bella Luna will be gone. I hate it that we won't be able to see their names listed any longer, so I had this idea to be able to always honor them and the great agents and agenices here. If we had a "HALL OF FAME ROOM," we could add the names of all agents that have reached No. 1 in rank, such as Fat Chuck, Bella Luna, Chronestron, jstkdn and Skyler Michael for reaching No. 1 in rank. Also, add the agencies that reached No. 1 in rank, ERF, Black Swan, Chicago, Sirens, Starsky and Hutch, and any others who I didn't mention. This would be a great way to honor all the greatest players and agencies for their accomplishments and forever showcase them where all new players for years to come can see who accomlished what. I feel this would add excitment and create a goal for everyone to work hard to achieve.

I also think the names of these great agents should also be added for their accomplishments, jojo227's for creating "Sleuth's Hint Help Line, "Reaper's Agency by Webmaster Delvin-that offers general information about the game, "Sleuths Chat by jstkdn," then "Sleuths Helper by Naomi Hong," as well as "John Hale's-"Man Behind Sleuth's Best Featured mysteries by Michael Bogen." There again adding the names of all Moderators would be neat, and most of all, Ben and Sunny Ringold, for creating this great game and all their involvment. Ok, I shared my idea, and if anyone has something to add, jump right in :)

Excellent idea, DaRu!

Thank you everyone:)

I like the idea!

(but why am I on it?)

Hi jojo...well I mentioned everyone that's added greatness to the game. My thoughts are to at least induct the agents and agencies that have reached No. 1 in rank overall, to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Anyway, hope Ben decides to add it. (DaRu begs, "Pretty please!)

I have no opinion on this, number 1 player deal. I have nothing against it, but I find enough value and entertainment in this community without seeing my name somewhere permanently etched in stone somewhere.

I am however against seeing my name in terms of sleuthcat. Between all versions it has taken at the most 20 hours to create and maintain (largely because of the issues in the application.) And I doubt that the website creaters have spent more then that. It is bleak in comparison to the great amount of people that spent countless hours on this message board contributing, helping others, paying for other peoples subscriptions because they could not afford it, and the list goes on.

Personally, I think there are a great amount of people that have contributed to this community in a very positive way for almost a year or longer. Like yourself DaRu. And not having their name somewhere etched in stone somewhere with the other names, and others do..just feels wrong to me. There are many other names I can think of in terms of people who are not mods, have created websites, or ever reached number 1 status.

Being number 1 is a bunch of points. It says nothing about contributions to the community.

I agree - why have the website creaters....?


Though, I do like the idea of having in the rest.

What I would like more actually. is sleuth person of the month. Based on things like:
1. Snagging 15 treasure hunts for their own agency.
2. Someone who started a popular thread that will be on the board for months to come and entertain.
3. Someone who did something really nice for someone else. Like paying a subscribtion, or giving larger donation.
4. New people that jumped in to the community and liven up the message board. Like for instance Lady Emerald Devon.
5. Someone who organizes a bio quiz, like autumn springs.
6. Someone who makes it on the high score lists, over months of playing their fingers off.
6. Etc.

Etc.

Well I said I liked that more. But what I mean to say is to have that IN ADDITION TO YOUR IDEA better. I just see a lot of less then 6 month old detectives that really liven up this place, and that new influx will keep us alive.

Just the same old names being haled over and over. Is old news. It's not the compliments don't do something nice for my ego as does it for some other people i am sure. And they are appreciated....definitely keep them coming. :)
But the thing is, I probably spend less time on this board or playing the game, then a LOT of great and really nice people do right now. They deserve the hale and the praise right now on most days more then some other names that continuously get mentioned.
