In honor of that lousy waste of a month February being over, I have decided to hold the first-ever Sleuth March Madness Tournament!

The premise is pretty simple. We compile a list of 64 of the game's most recognizable players, seed them into a tournament bracket, and allow Sleuthville to vote for the "best" in each matchup.

Rules for eligibility:
You must be subscribed and over 30 days old
You must PM me with your intent to enter the tournament or to nominate an eligible member for the tournament. If you are nominating someone, you must also be subscribed and older than 30 days.
Entries and nominations should be messaged ASAP. As soon as we get 64, the seeding process will begin and the matchups will be posted.

After the initial bracket is filled, I will post a few matchups here every day. Then, the people involved in those matchups will have an opportunity to say "anything" on this thread that they feel will allow them to advance to the next round of competition. Sleuthville votes will be what decides the winners, and voting information will be coming soon.

The overall winner of this tournament will receive $100,000 sleuth cash.

Please begin sending your nominations and entries to me ASAP, and good luck!

As I sit here madly pondering what I should say that might "allow me to advance to the next round of competition," I come up with the same thing I have since the start of this tournament....I haven't the faintest idea. (sigh) So much for rousing endorsements. Oh well.

I would like to say this, though. As we proceed through these Awards of Recognition, I have maintained since the start of it, and will continue to believe until the end, that each and every one of these nominees is a Winner. All of them are among the best that this community has to show, and they wholeheartedly deserve the appreciation they're now getting.

Some are incredibly brilliant, some are amazingly creative, some are gut-bustingly funny, some are benevolently generous, some are compellingly effective leaders, some are the people who hide in the background, but make sure that nothing gets forgetten. All of them are extraordinary people, and we as a community rarely stop to take the time to thank them for their efforts.

It has been a privilege and an honor to know these people, and to share my life with them. I am deeply honored, humbled, and indebted to be in their company.

I wish the best of luck to all of the nominees in this Tournament, especially Miss Violet Parr. She is truly a Lady, and I do not deserve her kind regard, though I very much appreciate it.

Thank you all. ;-)

I shall leave to other my endorsement, but I have to talk about one person in particular on this round, and that is Ananke.

Ananke is one of the most dedicated, sweetest and just damn hilarious people I have met in this game. She is self-less and has been my mentor since I came to Sleuth. I know she tends to stay quiet in the boards, but she absolutely ROCKS behind the scenes. So please, please, VOTE FOR ANANKE!!!!!!!

I'd like to say a few words about Ananke and Andrea.

I wasn't going to get involved in all this, but I can't let their nominations pass without supporting them for everything they have done to make The Hitchhikers: London the competitive agency it is. Their dedication to treasure hunting and teamwork have been the inspiration and soul of the agency.

Ananke was one of the first members of The Hitchhikers: London. She has been responsible since the beginning for its success. Quietly and never seeking credit, Ananke has spent months running the agency from behind the scenes. She is always helping new players, whether it be with money, cases or advice, and I and the others have always been able to count on her. I trust her decisions more than my own. Even when I haven't been drinking.

And Andrea... well, I've heard the rumors about the so-called "MistressX". Her alleged enthusiatic whippings. Her week long spells celebrating successful treasure hunts in the agency's Champagne Room. And the things that she has been known to do for a treasure hunt break the laws of men and God. I will not dignify such rumors. Even though they are all absolutely true, I shall not stoop to address such outrageous (though factual) claims.

However, I would like to say how lucky I feel that Andrea chose to join Hitchhikers. Her treasure hunting enthusiasm is infectious and joining her shameless love of hunting is one of the reasons I love the game. She's one of the funniest people I have the privilege of playing with and I know her activity on the boards and chat make her an asset to the community outside of our agency.

Ananake and Andrea deserve to win this competition because they play the game like it should be played. First and foremost, they play their cases. They never hesistate to help others and they love the game more than any other two people I know.

Vote for Ananke and Andrea!

Shoot7 your always there to help out other detectives and your manic case solving skills and ablity to function on little sleep have taken you to the high score list.
As for Miss Violet Parr? Smart, intelligent, warm, a real sleuth at heart who is always ready to join in and help out.

Hope that violet scarf is lucky for you Miss Parr, violet has always been my favourite colour:)

Good luck to you both, and what ever the out come you'll both always be number one in my book.

ohhh shoot

this is getting harder

Autumnsprings - a great friend to me, a hardworking sleuther and a generally great person.

Kagome_70 - thats MY wifey Serges, back off. I urve her, more than should be humanly possible :) She rules!

Fillemaligne - quite possibly the funniest human being I've ever run into in this game. That's right, she even gives Crunch a run for her money.

Ananke - the rockinest director I've had the pleasure of being under, and with the most fascinating sense of humor ever. I've been told I'm responsible for bringing her out of her shell....great recommendation :)

AndreaX - completely friggin tireless in her devotion to EVERY treasure hunt, and married to a computer guru to boot. I heart Andrea.

Jojo - constantly helping out the newbies, that kind of patience should be rewarded, not to mention killing the tweenie stereotype every time I talk to him.


AHHHHHH!!!! I'm so torn!

VOTE COUGAH! cfm rules!!!!!! :D
