Like is says: a Suggestion Box.

[be polite, I meant GAME suggestions!]

That's not to say we haven't got lots of ideas for things in the pipelines, but I'm sure there are lots of players out there who have lots of ideas about how to make the game a better / more interesting one, and we're always interested to hear what those ideas are.

Especially if they're explained clearly and constructively. :)

Who knows maybe you'll see an idea of yours up in lights :)

i think i already came up with some ideas a few pages ago but wanted to restate...

first, i feel totally gyped when i get to talk to a ghost and then am asked to give a gift. i think you should always get a free question after getting to the necromancy stage...and i think the nature of the questions should be more interesting. after all, we are talking to a ghost who was murdered! can't we at least find out the sex of the murderer, or some other good hint? or the answer could be kind of cryptic. make it something a ghost might say!

silly, but i would enjoy hearing some special piano music (though i love the ambient music of the game, it's one of the reasons i subscribed in the first place, so well done) for a spell when i click on the piano in the hall...

i think you should change the shoes around from time to time. the guy's shoes esp. are kinda gross!

i think it would be cool if, when you come across a second murdered body, there would sometimes be a twist in the game, like, there might be two killers and this second person could be the original killer but now you have to look for clues in this person's house to find the new killer, or something.

i think it's sad to get to a stage where you can decode notes and there are no coded notes to work with.

this is a fun game and i hope you guys keep tweaking it so that we can stay interested.

I been thinking of ways to increase participation in the Showdowns. Seems the only time you get more then 3 in a Showdown is when it is an Admin sponsored.

My suggestion is to have a Showdown Shop where you can use Challenge Points to buy items. You can buy favor items, have other items that are only exclusive to the Shop, like the new backgrounds, hats other items.

It may increase people wanting to do showdowns and even treasure hunts if the challenge points could be used for different things. I know you have to have some to buy certain coats or hats. But other then that they are useless. If you can use them for different things you may need to replenish your Challenge Points. (Always good to create a demand)

Favor Items
5 challenge points (perfume, cologne)
10 challenge points (whiskey, Golden Locket)
20-30 challenge points (different backgrounds choices)
50 challenge points an exclusive hat
You could even have a top item that may make it worth it to save your points like a 1 month subscription at 250 points (you don't want to make it easy to achieve)

Also when there are 4 or more in a Showdown maybe award 1 challenge point for 2nd place.

I mean who in a pinch wouldn't go to the shop to buy that favor gift to get a case solved.

@ TJ I kinda like that idea... I suppose it also depends on how much future value we place on challenge points too.

@JC game currency is an interesting topic.

@ Belami, I really need to get to the necromancy stage lol. *walk of shame* But I will talk to Ben about the theory behind the mechanics of that skill. See if there's a rational reason for doing it that way. I'm all for adding a bit of flavour to the game, so I'll hunt up what the meeting text is as well and have a look at that.

and there is also system which automated mail sleuth about new updates & new posts(very important) by administrator

Secret_Squirrel do you think that i shud given free subs. after 6 months for 2-5 days

@SS: ^_^

We do know that nice ideas takes time to add. ^_^

yeah I could do with a helper monkey or three right about now YAWN!

& you can also add a meter which tells thtat suspect will clammed up in how many ques. for ( less than 1000xp)

more then one murderer? I do't know if this is already available but murders arent always by just one person

the game has Judge of Character Riz. It tells you whether you should use Intim or Charm. If you have the Charm skill and you use Charm on a Charmable Suspect / Townie then you get 2 questions, if you use Intim you will only get one. A meter defeats the purpose of of having that skill.
