People of Sleuthville, lend me your ears!
I call out now to all you tomb-raiders and treasure seekers! To those who love the thrill of a good treasure hunt!

In the spirit of friendly competition i propose a challenge.
This challenge will require 10 adventurous detectives to be split onto 2 Teams, each team consisting of 5 members, in 2 newly made Agencies of my own making in NY.

These two agencies will compete against each other in Treasure Hunts.
The first team to get their agency to 7,000 Fame wins:

$200,000 Prize to be split among the team evenly.
(Working out to $40,000 a piece for each teammate...not too shabby huh?)
Also each team after the contest ends will vote amongst themselves on who alone among their team was MVP (someone who went above and beyond, did a really excellent job, etc) The MVP's from Both teams will win a 3 month gift subscription from me personally.
You also win bragging rights and honor for your home agencies on being an awesome treasure hunter.
Whether your team chooses single or multi-city hunt strategy is entirely up to you.

Obviously this competition will run for a while, (I'm venturing a guess at anywhere between 2 weeks to a month depending on how luck smiles on you or how good you and your teammates are).

It goes without saying that you would be required to resign temporarily from whatever agency you are currently in to join my competing agencies for the contest. You are allowed to enter an alternate detective if you wish if you're too attached to have your main detective leave your agency, and the only rules are:

1) Absolutely NO Password Sharing.
2) Only one entry per contestant
3) Have fun.

I want to know who among you treasure hunters really has what it takes to come together and co-ordinate as a team to truly be the best.

(Cont'd)

Oh my!! I'm reading the noir boards not shades right. :)

Choke on a couple of hunts and you all go to water?! And it's only day 3...

Okay, when I heard there was going to be trash talk I assumed that it was going to be about how the Raiders smell like day-old fish. Which they totally do.

This playing dirty thing, though, that's a whole different story, especially because it is a moot point. By the time this contest is done, I would bet my velour cloche that Al-Q will have won an equal number of hunts from both the Raiders and the Crusaders--there is no favoritism, no preferential treatment there. They are just playing the game, and the fact that one of their members has an alt in the Crusaders is irrelevant. If people wish to be paranoid and suspicious every time an agency not in the contest wins a hunt, that's their prerogative, but I am going to say once and for all that the allegation is utter tripe. This is supposed to be building our community up again, not splitting it apart with unfounded rumors, people.

Squirrelly, I thought the EXACT SAME THING when I read this lol. This is something you would read on Shades.

BTW.... do you even GET anything for winning this contest? Is there some sort of massive grand prize at the end that it is so cutthroat?

I think it's bragging rights. And some sleuth cash.

OK Adam. Seems totally worth upsetting a bunch members of the community and leaving the game over and stuff. *shocked face*

Squirrelly, I also apologize if the old Nic is coming back. I'm trying, but it's hard. :-)

Guys, I really don't know how best to handle this...I just know that this isn't it.

I consider Em my friend too and I am deeply sorry for her feelings being hurt. Those of you directly involved in this matter know I am doing my best to quiet the rabble and fix this, internally on Raiders and in private with the pertinent members of Al Q. Toohey, as it should be handled.

This is just going to degenerate, and it'll become a problem that without an easy solution as it comparatively is right now if this keeps up. So lets all take a breather and back away slowly from the message board, okay?

*cough* I'm in the process of putting a new Resistance game up, if anyone needs a place for conspiracy theories...

too soon?

I'm EXTREMELY disappointed in the poor sportsmanlike behavior that I'm seeing thus far people I expected MUCH better and I'm doubtful I'll even WANT to host another contest like this I if this is only day TWO in a two week contest Emma I'm sort, nic I NEVER wanted other agencies to stay away from hunts this is not shades I made it very clear as amber pointed out that other agencies were expected to give the teams a run for their money. I'm honestly so very disappointed and angry right now.
