Greetings, citizens of Sleuthville! The time has come once more for the annual Sleuthville Arch-Villain Hunt Tournament. This year’s tourney is being held a month earlier than usual so that we’ll have enough time in the Fall for other fun planned activities. The format, just like last year, will be one-on-one matchups. I welcome and encourage all old and new players to participate. Drag yourselves out of those doldrums and come enjoy yourselves with 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

Congratulations to everyone who slipped in yesterday. I believe everyone who finishes their hunt today will be in the knock out round, so well done to Verali for getting through to that.

The notorious criminal Veda "Hoot Owl" Lancaster was brought to justice by Cordelia Falco after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.

Final clue on the last case of the day. Phew.

Congratulations to everyone who's finished! You guys are so speedy.

I started late, with Riza's permission, so I just finished up my third day - hopefully I can catch the scalawag tomorrow and slip through. Can't believe I got accosted by pirates (twice!).

Also ctown, I have to say I am loving the Star Wars quotes so much.

Fourth day, for me!

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side. ;)
