Greetings, people of Sleuthville! The time has come once again for the annual Sleuthville Arch-Villain Hunt Tournament. This year, in an attempt to change things up a bit, I’m happy to announce the return of the one-on-one matchups! Oldies and newcomers alike are welcome to participate. What better way to stave off boredom than a little friendly competition?
The format will be 16 detectives, each randomly paired off by a magic baseball hat to face one other person. For this competition, players going through Cairo will have a day taken off their totals. The fastest player(s) from each round will go on to the next round until a winner is determined. In the case of a tie (same day capture), both players will move on to compete in a triple threat matchup. Failed hunts will not count against you; you will not be disqualified. If you fail your hunt and would like to start another, you may, but the day count will start from the official start date of the round. The last one standing wins.
The rules:
- 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, 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, 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 may:
-travel to Shangri La the night before, but NOT start the hunt
-use a travel kit
-use head of faction privileges
-use agencies and apartments to swap gear

Arch Villain Caught!
The notorious criminal Emira Clytemnestra Xylander was brought to justice by Lady Zeugirdor after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.
I did go through Cairo, but I had PMed Riza that.
DevilishWings, Delhi was super sweet to me...sorry they were so rough on you!

Erp, I'd just assumed Yuji had already re-started, and I still think she had, because I saw her in Shangri-La sometime, but it didn't click until after I heard about her trip through Cairo. You should definitely go on :)
Thank you, everybody; it's crazy how far just luck can go ;D
Awesome job, Z (you were scared?? You got through Cairo and everything else in three days! :D), and everybody else, good luck and happy hunting!!! :)

No, we believe you ;P Hope Cairo goes by faster! :)
Just post if you're going here if you're going through Cairo; it speeds up the counting :) Not that I'm counting...

Congratulations to Lady Z and Bella, I agree with Rob, it's the participation that's most important, and to Ms Wings I can commiserate, this is the first time I've ever gotten past round 1. Cairo was usually my Achilles heal, I believe that it took something like 37 cases to solve, over 21 repeats of the same single clue and multiples of others also and with only 1 case quit, it was embarrassing.
