I saw this when I logged on just now. Now what do you think this means??

Villain's Mysterious Disappearance
Agents of the Prince of Shangri-La professed today that they were baffled by Mordred "the Snake" Malatesta's disappearance. Last seen with co-conspirator Patricia Green, his whereabouts remain a mystery, as she had no knowledge of his travel plans.

This is really exciting!!

There might be times when players would want to bypass Cairo. For example how will the Arch Villain tournaments be handled? If some players only have 4 cities to play and others have 5 cities, the advantage would go to the player who can not travel to Cairo. I suppose you could hold tournaments for each group individually, but it would be nicer if everyone could play together.

Or maybe once in awhile if your time was limited you might, want to cut out that extra city.
I'm not sure it would be something used a lot, but it would be handy to have.

The ability to give more context to areas using the specific question method, whether that be via VH clues or other 'stuff', is an approach that we hope to pursue further.

Also we hope you like the way City News is now being used to develop storyline.

Shell even Cairo hunts are only 4 cities long....at least mine was lol.

I kinda agree with turtle on keeping the townie clues to Cairo, with them only in one city it makes it different and exciting but I could see it getting mundane if it were all cities. Having said that I would love to see each city having there own specific/unique way of solving clues......or is that a tad too much? :)

LOL, leave it to me to speak before I've finished my hunt. I've been so busy I've hardly had time for it.
Then in that case forget my previous point.

By the way, whoever came up with the stuff on the City News about that Malatesta guy is bloomin' brilliant. :-/

I'm told by the resident Italian translator that "Malatesta" means "headache."

:-.

Spot on for that one, guys.

;-D

Hmm. Let's try this again.... ;-)

*Chuckle*

Actually, it looks kinda yellowish pale to me. ;-)

The Cairo thing's confusing the heck outta me right now. (You-Know-Who prob'ly intended it that way, given my luck. ;-) I'm HOPING like you wouldn't believe that third time will be the charm, but I may be stuck in Piratesville for several months to come if I can't get the darned thing right.

*sigh*

However, my griping aside....

I AM rather glad to see a new approach being taken on the AV hunts. (Thank you Misfit Gang and Admin on that one. ;-) I rather wonder if we can't work up similar clues for all of the townies throughout Sleuth (using LOTS of different topics, perhaps making them pertain to each city?), rework the co-conspirator stuff for the various cities, and then program in a random variable system of some kind into the server for the whole thing. After that, a hunter might get one city with the new style of clues, he/she might get several cities, or he/she might get none (only the server would know/determine how many the person would get). That would keep things interesting all round, I would think??

I know ya can't please all the people all the time, and, as always, I'm just a lowly old-fogey, sittin' on my porch, thumpin' my cane and gnawin' on my dentures (and the cat's out sparrow-huntin' again;-), but how's all that sound??

Thank you!! ;-D

Breit

P.S. -- Congratulations, Riza!! Dunno how the heck you did it, but you got my vote for the Smartest Kid in Class!! ;-D

(Hah. Much better!! ;-D )

Hmm... I have one complain/suggestion/comment.

I have noticed that once we accept a VH, Cairo is the first city. Is it always the first city? Can it be either first, second, third or last?

That's temporary, set up that way for the kick-off. In a little while Cairo will become a random city like the others, where it may appear, 1st or last or anywhere in between.
