Yes, it is time I finally decided to do this! But why? One of the things I loved since I was a child was reading detective books. I love mysteries and investigations, I used to watch Dexter a lot. I am doing this mostly as a fun thing and nothing serious, mostly to kill time honestly. The way I decided to kill time is by creating a detective berau; namely this detective bureau. This doesn't mean we won't do serious stuff, of course doing a real investigation is way more interesting so there's more than one concept behind this. What do we work with in order to serve justice? Police and Law Enforcement Work. This is one big part of our job. It is to solve crimes and apprehend wrong-doers by discovering or determine all different types of information sources, and this is the essential aspect of a detective’s job. Private Investigation Work. Work as a PI(private detective or inquiry agent), be hired by individuals or groups to undertake investigatory law services and work for the public. In this field you will need a lot of thoroughness when doing your job and have fair knowledge of all the laws in order to make your work a lot more effective and accurate. Do I need to join some kind of guild? How do I stay updated? No, nor do I intend to create an in-game guild. This bureau will exist on the forums as a group so therefore will all updates and news feed be posted here. We also give reminders to each other about new updates regarding the bureau or anything related to the bureau by talking to each other in-game so being in touch with us regularly can be a good way to keep being updated with the latest news. How do we schedule meetings? Once we have enough members I will make a schedule for meetings including both time and location but for now we have no topics to discuss so please be patient! How do I apply and what positions are there to choose between? To be able to apply you must copy and fill out the whole application form except for the optional details.

Oh yes, this seems interesting. I'm Marty and I spend too much time (way too much, really) on the forums and in the FM, so I know a lot about MapleRoyals. That should suffice, correct? I mean, what more is there to know?
detective work, duh! just kidding I will edit soon as I finish the application format. btw Oldie and Marty both of you are accepted. EDIT: If anyone wonders why Oldie and Mart got accepted without filling out the form then it's because I hadn't made one by then so they could apply however they wanted.
I love how it's so ridiculously similar to the GM application format. Still waiting for what exactly we'll be doing...
Catching hackers duhhh! This thread makes me laugh so hard im sorry, i too am waiting to see what you all will be investigating-.- I have a suggestion though, Investigate Oldie , it will be your biggest most difficult case.
I have written a small part of what we work with, I will finish it once I return home from school. ~Dige

Skills and Abilities: Are you more comfortable investigating alone or on a team?: I'd prefer alone, it's easier to evaluate observations since it's just your thoughts that need to be organised and analysed.

How sure are you about your professionalism yourself?: Quite professional, although I do like my fair share of trolling. Besides those listed above, what do you believe to be important qualities of a detective?: Good observation and analysation skills.

I have finished the paragraph about what we work with. More information will be added in the future to this paragraph but lets keep it brief for now until we have more members. That way we can handle out more different types of work when there are enough of us but we are too few to cover every field as of now. ~Dige
Can you please tell me which line of profession you would like to choose as your primary occupation? You are welcome to work with both but when I write the list of all members in the bureau I'd like to write down their occupation so it'd be confusing if I write both. You can work with both but you can only be considered one of those.
