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:

For the Cairo Hunt, Agency and Apartment cases are legal, just like any Treasure Hunt (and any team is free to move their HQ or Apartment to Cairo if they wish to, but you're paying for it). Yes, it does give Cafe Americain a bit of an advantage, but next week, they may be at a BIG disadvantage. So it all evens out eventually.

Just had somebody ask me if they can do two AV hunts in the week to try and get a lower score, and would we accept it.

If yer stubborn, errr...brave, enough, to try and do a second or third AV hunt in the allotted time when you don't need to, just to try and shave down your time, and you have the strength, then yes, go for it. But Wednesday, 11:59 PM SST is the final deadline. So happy hunting. ;-)

"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"

12:00 SST is noon. Do you mean midnight (0:00 SST)?
Or am I really really wrong about SST?

Can I give you a headache, Breit/Luc? :)

For the scavenger hunt, wouldn't it be easier if everyone would those in the cities where the agencies have their HQ's? That way no one will have an advantage/disadvantage.

I think it is an evening out tactic Badass. For team treasure hunts we will be at a disadvantage. There are no hunts that start or go through our fair city. So teams in the 4 normal cities will have an advantage then.

Next question..so should we start a post in our agency to post our screen shots? Then send the full thing when we complete the hunt?

That's a valid point, Sultry. But of course when you move HQ's you'll eliminate your disadvantage for the TH's. At some financial cost of course.
