Waaaay before my time here, Serges hosted Sleuth March Madness in 2007. I thought it looked like a lot of fun, so... without further ado, The copy pasted rules from then with minor modifications! ;)

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 are not allowed to nominate yourself.
You may nominate up to 3 persons.
The nominated must be over 30 days old by March 1, 2010, and active.

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.

We will start the voting on March 1st, so get your nominations in as quickly as possible! Please PM me the nominations, and I will be posting a list of who has been nominated, the brackets, and all that fun stuff as we go. :)

*Strolls to the edge of crowd, puts down a wooden crate , and steps onto it gracefully. *

Attention, attention...ladies, gentlemen, fellow sleuths, I have come here today to ask you to please cast your precious vote for LADY JAS! Since my time here in Sleuth I have not met anyone as kind, considerate, fun and awesome as her. She is the helpful to any and every one she encounters; wether it be on the message boards, in barchat, or via sleuth mail.

And let's not forget her determination to keep Sleuth alive, by encouraging others to subscribe . Have you seen her sidekick achievements? She is our top sidekick recruiter in all of Sleuthville! Speaking of achievements, if you look under each category you will find this wonderful Lady in the top of these lists, that takes hard work, communication, and determination. So we can conclude she is a Top detective and worthy of your vote and advancement in this competition.

Remember, vote LADY JAS! Thank you

*stops 10 steps from crowd, hurries back and resumes stance on crate*

My fellow sleuths, I forgot one other person. Our dear, Sunny. How could I forget, please pardon the omission. *clears throat*

Cast your vote for SUNNY, our very own sweet, no nonsense Sleuth goddess! If you don't, expect a visit from Shady. Thank you.

*Steps down gracefully, and hurries of with crate*

My two endorsements are for Adam Carter and Jesse Hunter.

Adam Carter is a long standing member of the community who is never afraid to speak his mind. At the same time he is one of the most helpful and amusing players you can find. He is a great team player and will always help the agency with anything required, whether it be treasure hunts, equipment or money. He's also a fantastic friend and other half that has helped me through tough times and I know will continue to do so because that's the type of person he is.

Vote Adam Carter.......otherwise I'll be sleeping on the sofa :D

Jesse Hunter is someone I've only recently had the pleasure of meeting, but he is a great Agency Director always happy to help his agents and put the agency everyone I know speaks very highly of him and that many people can't be wrong :)

Vote Jesse Hunter!

And thank you to everyone who is has said such nice things on my behalf, it means so much to me :)

I would like to endorse Irene. If not for her generous offer to give a free trial subscription to anyone who would ask, I would not be the detective I am today, nor would I have meet the great people I have met. I don't see much of her, but when I do I see that same spirit.

The following is an endorsement from a sleuth who wishes to remain anonymous:

I want to endorse Irene. She has put her heart and soul into helping people in Sleuth, often with no recognition. She works very hard and puts so much energy and enthusiasm into not only the game and the community but into ideas for the game.
She has given away so many free subscriptions to Sleuth and is always there to help people.
She always comes up with new ideas many of which have been used.
She isn't scared to speak her mind even if people are critical of her.
I think she is one of the kindest, most generous people in the game. She is tireless in her efforts, help and wisdom.
She deserves that recognition.
She is a wonderful woman.

Lady Jas is a very helpful person and long standing part of the community. :)

Sean Dart makes me laugh like none other. His wacky sense of humor and his interesting take on writing never fails to make me chuckle.

Adam Carter is an awesome guy. I have enjoyed many discussions with him and am always glad to see him in Bar. He is very helpful and always is willing to help. :)

Ms Helen dragged me over here from *shudder* Shades. ;) She took me under her wing, guided me, took me into Eye Spy, and is one of my first friends in Sleuth. She is a wonderful editor and loves the game and the community. She's pushed me to live my life more and been there for me when my life has beaten me down. You never know what she's going to say in Barchat, and I'm glad to say she is my friend.

AMG is rather new, but is a very nice woman. She is always polite and is eager to learn and asks good questions. I'm glad she's found Sleuth. :)

I don't think words can describe ctown. :) He is ever helpful, the voice of Sleuth Talk, and hilarious. I was about to give up playing about a month into playing here, and he is the one who convinced me to give it another go. :)

Holly is the love of ctown's life, and she makes him happy. :) Yay for Holly! ;)

Oh, what to say about Heimlich? Heim is a true friend of mine, and I am so glad to know him. He is kind, helpful, funny, and a wonderful writer. He has broadened my horizons and also has helped me through some tough times. He had the amazing idea for Sleuth Survivor, and did a wonderful job at it. Vote for Heim! :D

I had the pleasure of being in Survivor with miss snopes, and she is a lovely person, and a wonderful Sleuther.

Molly! ;) Molly is a wonderful RPer and makes the Bar sparkle in her presence. She is a wonderful person, and I'm glad to know her. :)
