Greetings, fellow Sleuths! The time has come once again for the annual Sleuthville Arch-Villain Hunt Tournament, where experienced detectives and newcomers alike come together to show off their villain-nabbing skills and make the city a safer place. What better way to spend a hot summer day than with a little friendly competition?

The format will be 16 detectives, randomly paired off into teams of two by a third party, to face one other team. (This hunt will go forward only if there are enough players participating [16]. If not, the tournament will be cancelled altogether.)

The rules:

- As soon as you are matched up with your partner, please POST your team name on this thread.
- Either PM me or POST here as soon as possible if you find that your hunt goes through Cairo, so I can keep accurate records.
- In the spirit of competition, trash-talking is allowed and encouraged, just as long as it is friendly and appropriate.
- You may not PM me to ask for any AVH hunt help or advice.
- If you are unable to compete in a round for whatever reason, you are allowed to ask someone to sub in for you for that round only. This privilege may only be used once per team, and only in emergencies. The player who is subbing in for you may be anyone who is not competing in the current round, even someone who was not initially entered in the competition.
-You bear the responsibility of making sure your partner shows up. No replacements are allowed in this case.

You may:
-Travel to Shangri-La the night before, but NOT start the hunt
-Use a Compact Travel Kit
-Use head of faction privileges
-Use agencies and apartments to swap gear

You may not (enforced only by the honor code):
-Use sidekick cases (for either clues or travel)
-Enter second/third detectives etc.

I reserve the right to disqualify any player from this competition at any time for breaking any of the rules or for behaving inappropriately. All final decisions rest with me.

Um Mr. Announcer, I know that you think that you are being considerate but being dragged out at midnight on my birthday to go freeze my toucas off in some Nepalese goatherder's hut is NOT my idea of a good time. Send cake! (and ice cream for the cat, no chocolate or berry please). Breit

Arch Villain Caught!
The notorious criminal Faakhir "Babyface" Grimm was brought to justice by Bela Talbot III after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.

Best of luck to everybody going through to the next round! Out of pity for little Dashing, I've decided to keep the scores to myself; don't fret though, he should be here...soon...any time this year, in fact! :)

Um, gents, we'd kinda like BETTER than 99 to 1 odds. Or else. (And don't make me define that for you. I can promise, even the definition will hurt.) Way to go PARTNER! Stock up and get ready to bribe with bacon... It worked so well last time....;-) Breit

You know who I'm betting on! *hopes desperately that her winnings may be enough to pay off Shady!*

I had an awesome time Hunting, and pengueener was the best team-mate anybody could have asked for, and she stepped in, and saved Hell on Heels from getting thrown out of the first round ;) Thank you so much, pengueener, you made the Hunt that much more fun :)
