In just under six weeks, the 31st Summer Olympics and the 15th Paralympics will occur in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Athletes from over 190 countries around the world will gather to compete in some 35 different overall sports over a period of about 3 weeks.

Many people have commented recently that they would like to see some more activities taking place here on Sleuth. A few of us creatively evil types were wondering if we put together a series of activities for people, would y'all be interested??

We are looking for at least 8-12 people, of all experience levels; both hunters (treasure, casework, and Arch Villain) and writers will be needed. People will be competing in a team format. We're probably looking at Subbed players for now, but we're working on having at least two activities (not necessarily part of the teams, but supplemental to them) that will be exclusive to UNSUBBED players. All of these activities will have an Olympics theme.

So. Any takers?? ;-)

Please let us know below.

Thank you!!
Breit

The Arch Villain Hunt

Choose two detectives from your team. Those two players will do an Arch-Villain hunt, with the usual rules applying for a tournament. Both detectives have until Wednesday, August 10, to capture their villains. Hunters may travel up to Shangri-La the previous night (Wednesday, August 3), but ANYONE who starts a hunt before Thursday, 12:00, SST, will be disqualified (so make VERY sure you don't do it). Scores will be determined on a team basis, and by days, not time (people overseas won't have to be up at odd hours of the night to deal with Server times this way). Anyone traveling through Cairo MUST either post it on the boards, or send a PM to Riza or Breit announcing that they are (we WILL be verifying that). Sidekick cases are banned, as usual. Apartment and Agency gear is legal. If, for some reason, there are technical issues with the servers, all hunters will be given extra time to complete their hunts.

An individual hunter's number of days will be counted up, added to his/her teammate's number of days, and the lowest combined sum will be the winner. The first TEAM to capture their villains will receive 10 points. Second team to capture will receive 7. Third will receive 5, and fourth will receive 3. All teams receive 3 participation points each for each AV hunter on their team (I.E. - 6 points total).

If, for some reason, you guess wrong, and fail a hunt, DO NOT QUIT. Go back to Shangri-La and start over. BOTH members of the team must capture in order to receive placement points. So keep going (even if you takes you four times, voice of experience talkin' here ;-).


The Cairo Scavenger Hunt

For the other two detectives from your team, you will be going to Cairo (big surprise there ;-). You need to complete ten favors from EACH of the townspeople in Cairo, in no particular order. Once you have completed a favor from a townsperson, you MUST make a screenshot at the end (completion) of the favor, like this:

The Priest, Manfred Gesling is very grateful for your help.

When you have found all TEN of your townspeople, please PM ALL of your screenshots to Riza for verification purposes. The first team to complete their hunt will receive 10 points. Second will receive 7. Third will receive 5. Fourth will receive 3. All teams will receive 3 participation points for each member doing the scavenger hunt (6 points total).

Note: CAFE AMERICAIN: Because you are already in Cairo, you may NOT START your scavenger hunt before Thursday, 12:00, SST. Any favors completed before then by your team and logged in will be discarded, and your team will be disqualified. So play fair, and don't start the hunt til the others do. Thank you!! ;-)

So. Choose your teams, guys, and head to the Starting Lines!! On your Mark!! Get Set!!

I know you just posted this, please don't shoot me!
Clarification on the Cairo hunt...does each detective have to get the ten townspeople, or is the ten a combination from both players?

It's a combination from both players. Repeats don't count. ;-)

And you guys were having heart attacks. ;-D

Did I mentioned here that in the previous agency I was in, sharing contracts with Sultry, we were serenading together under the clear moon sky?
Now she wants to McCoy me... What did these Olympics do to you partner/competitor?

The results of the Agency Creations will be up sometime shortly. I'm told Daenerys and Squirrel have reached a consensus, and are writing out their post now.

Thank you. ;-)

And I hear they had a delightful time in Vegas with the contents of said envelope. But I wouldn't count on that to improve your standings any, BadAss. Sorry. ;-)

P.S.--Squirrel, you owe me that pool toy for Missy from Siegfried and Roy. ;-D
