History of Reaper's

Locker phase:
Reaper's was founded on Oct 9 2004. It was just a locker for me to store equipment. I wanted to spend some time playing the feature cases then move on to join an agency. I was planning a 2 weeks period for Reaper's. Since I had some extra space, I figure I can open my agency and let those who are curious about how an agency looks like to come in and have a look. Rivergallery was my first "tourist". At that time, I didn't set any limit for days of stay in Reaper's. There is no hunt and tourists have no access to the locker. I figure they will come in and have a look and leave after one day. But some actually stay for a long, long time...

Tour phase:
Rivergallery decided to stay on and help me to run the tour! We let in players who are curious about what is in an agency. Rivergallery became a permanent member of Reaper's and I promote her to the rank of Director. She has been receiving PM that offers her a place in other agency. The promotion is just a way to tell her that I can't kick her out now but she is free to join other agency if she wants. During this period, we actually try to gain special skill. As there are only the 2 of us, we took a long time to switch faction.

Competitive agency phase:
We decided to form a "real" agency. We wanted to play the treasure hunt, as we have no treasure in our trophy room. Amazingly, Rivergallery was able to recruit 6 members in the period of 1 week. On Jan-8-2005 07:13, Reaper's win her first treasure. We won our second treasure at Jan-8-2005 08:24. We are all very excited!

Closing phase:
I had told Rivergallery that I am looking for jobs and if I start working, I am not able to play as often as I do at that point of time. I had offered to leave the agency if it comes to that. On Jan 17 2005, Rivergallery told me that she wanted to spend less time in Sleuth due to personal commitment. We are really at a dilemma. We had built Reaper's from a garage to a bank. We had a lot of memories with it. After some discussion, we had no choice but to ask our members to leave, as Reaper's will become an inactive agency.
