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:

*brings out the peanut butter syrup, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, whipped cream, nuts, fresh fruit, and cherries*

*looks up to find everyone starting at her*

What? You all couldn't bring anything?

Thank you, Autumn. That was very generous of you. ;-D

NOW. Who wants to get docked 10 points, or who wants ice cream?? :-.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

Is anyone else finding Autumn and Sultry's clone-like 'Have I shaved this morning?' pose creepy.

we wondered how long it would take someone to notice! ;)

It was totally unintentional but it works.

I thought it was more like a "my root canal still hurts" pose. Or even a "using frying pans as boomerangs is not a good idea" pose.

Sorry couple of dumb questions/points time.....it's early, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I read it that each person has to get 10 favours per townie and nearly fainted. Then I read it as 1 favour per townie. So just to completely clarify. Two people have to between them get one favour per townie?

Also do you mean actual screenshots or just copy/paste the info at the end of the case. And if so does that mean we're working on the honour system that no one will cheat and make it up :)

Just to be clear I'm in no way complaining; just wanting to make sure I've got everything right :D

For the Cairo hunt:

Two people HAVE to compile a total of ten solved favors (one for each of the ten townspeople), take a screenshot at the end of each SOLVED favor, and at the end of their hunt, send said list of screenshots to Riza Hawkeye for verification. 2 people, 10 favors between them. Repeats and failed favors do not count. First team to finish wins. Hope that explains things a little bit easier. ;-)

As for the screenshot, (and I have no idea what the technical definition of a screenshot actually is), I mean to copy and paste the last 2-3 lines of a successfully solved favor case (the part where it says the Music Teacher, Angela Caban, in New York, for example, is very grateful that you helped her, and she has awarded you a pair of Polka Dot Pumps.)

Helen does make a very good point that there is the possibility for shenanigans if you just copy the first line, without the reward.

SO. LISTEN UP ALL TEAMS!!! PLEASE INCLUDE THE REWARD ITEM ON YOUR SCREENSHOT.

While I know that *AAAALLLLLLL* of you are working pursuant to the Code of Conduct, and doing something like cheating would NEVER cross your minds, please remember, we do have people monitoring your teams. You may be getting a PM from a Judge at a moment's notice, asking for an invite to your Agency for a surprise inspection. So please, let's play fair, everyone, okay?? ;-)

I will be sending PMs to everyone about the change.

Also, I apologize for the apparent misunderstanding in my initial instructions. I hope the above notes make things a bit easier to understand. ;-)

Thank you!! ;-)

And no, Helen, they're not stupid questions. Thanks for asking them. ;-)

These unannounced visits are kinda creepy. Like the IRS doing an audit of your company 😃

Serious now, there's no way to monitor cheating. Unless someone can delve into the memory log of your account. Not sure how time consuming that is.
