I wonder if there would be any way, or how difficult it would be, to make it where ONLY the Directors could sell items from the Equipment Locker?
Be like how rookies have no access to the locker. It could be made that Agents have access ofcourse but Directors ONLY are the only ones able to sell anything from there.
Might be a bad idea but, I think it would be cool to have it that way.

Or maybe can add a "Tag" or something to item and unless a Director clears the "Tag", noone can take it away from the agency if they resign or sell it??

That sounds good but I dont mean necessarily selling from locker and leaving, which it would be good to protect that situation too, but just selling from locker to get more money maybe, or whatever. Not that anyone in my agency is doing that, they arent...but I just thought of it,and it would prevent anyone under the title Director of selling items from the locker, for whatever the reason. :) Noone would have to worry about anyone stealing from it...or just selling something they shouldnt be selling. I know they could leave with what is on their back but,more than likely it isnt the real pricey gear they have on...if you are like me, I have our real good gear locked up for just Officer and Directors to wear LOL so if they would happen to leave with our stuff on their back, it isnt something that is REAL pricey and could get another one with no problem. I am starting to babble so Im outta here. Hope I explained everything ok so everyone knows what the heck I am talking about :)

Just a note: In case anyone from my agency reads this, like Hazel, I didnt write this because of any of you or because this situation is happening in BCD. With past situations, where people steal from the locker, to get their money raised up for their own use, I just think it would be cool to have this feature for the Directors!

Hazelnini the tag already exists in a way. You can protect certain itmes by saving them only for officers or only for directors. As for selling its good idea but sometimes someone clicks on save item after favor and when going to agency locker they see the item is not needed and the locker is full. If they would have to wait for director in order to sell it no one else would be able to save items till then.

An agent cant protect items...that is for Directors and Officers only. That feature isnt for Agents, I dont believe.

I will disagree here in a way. I think that the current system of Director only and Officer and Director only sections of the locker is enough protection. The above situation of adding and then going back to sell happens quite a bit for young detectives (like myself ;) ).

Part of the problem is ease of use by all the eligble detectives of an agency versus protecting Directors from making mistakes about people. From a game mechanic point of view you want people to be able to make mistakes, to not create systems that guarantee success.

Part of being a Director of an agency should entail the extra work/stress of knowing your people's attitudes as well as skills. Personality plays a big part and agencies as they exist now help promote that.

Small agencies with a close knit group of people have few problems and progress slowly but surely. Large agencies with more people progress faster but also have the greater risks that come from more personalities. Much like real life.

Careful recruiting and patience during lulls of good applicants will prevent most problems from happening.

I do agree and I didnt come up with that idea because of any one in my agency, as I said earlier. I have a GREAT group of detectives, who are honest and decent...and I think they are just wonderful! There is no problems whatsoever. I know people will make mistakes, but I wasnt talking of an honest mistake. I was simply talking about those who intentionally sell items from the locker to benefit themselves.

I do know there is a tab for Directors, to "lock" stuff up and I definitely use it...the more expensive gear that is but that doesnt mean I want the rest of it to be ripped off...and I feel that is worth some kind of protection as well :)

I do agree with everything you said tho..it was just a thought I had. However, no matter how careful a Director is, and I am VERY careful,and very watchful of how a person acts to see if he/she is decent, etc... that doesnt mean there wont be problems, but I understand what you are saying :)

I guess to keep it more realistic, its good to have them risks and worries in an agency! LOL :) So nevermind my idea :)

Laughs with Mak,

No, it is a good thing to discuss ideas like this in the open so everyone can see both sides. Ben just might get a spark from something and take it in a totaly new direction.

No one says I am right or you are right, it is the conversation that is important.
