Gameplay
The hire command can be used to pay for private investigations with money.
This command works very similarly to the order command, but hired
investigators do not have a cooldown and do not have any requirements
outside of the cash in hand.
The character being researched does not need to be targeted by coded name.
Remembered names or short descriptions will work as well, regardless if
it is a mask, although inexact keywords may return an unintended target.
If the target changes their appearance by shifting or masking, the command
will return, "Cannot be found." Characters who are not online or not
targetable will return a blank line.
Syntax: hire investigate <target>
Cost: $200
An investigation returns the target's basic information, such as their
full name, date of birth, address and phone number. The report also
may include any society and subfaction associations, owned properties,
and registered vehicle license plate numbers.
Once the results of an investigation has been returned to you, it is not
saved on the server. You must manually save it yourself.
Syntax: hire research <scheme number/target>
Cost: $200
If used on a scheme, this will return details about what type it is.
If used on a character, this will return what is in their public history.
Once the results of a background check have been returned to you, it is not
saved on the server. You must manually save it yourself.
RP Note: If you are using the research command to find a character's
history for a report, note that your report should be rephrased
and not just copy/pasted.
Syntax: hire tail <target>
Syntax: scout <target>
Cost: $400
A hired tail will inconspicuously follow your target, reporting their
location so long as it is in a public area. Tails will stay on your
target for quite some time, perhaps up to half a day. In order to find
out where your target last was seen, use the scout command.
