There will be 4 activities this week. All events start on Thursday, August 25, at 12:00 AM, SST. Good luck. ;-)

1. Sleuthetania Scavenger Hunt - All team members will board the Sleuthetania and hunt for a list of items that will be provided to them on the Sleuth Talk boards Thursday morning. As with the other hunts, once a team member has found the first item on the list, stored the item to the Agency locker, and sent a screenshot or copy/paste of the reward page to Riza, team members may proceed to look for the next item on the list. The team with the most items found gets 10 points. Team with the second highest amount found gets 7. Third gets 5. Fourth gets 3. PLEASE REMEMBER: Once you are on the boat, you CANNOT access your Agency, so clean out your locker before you board the ship. Riza will be expecting a screenshot of each team's locker before Thursday.

All teams may do a MAXIMUM of *TWO* trips on the Sleuthetania. You have until Wednesday, August 31, 11:59 PM, SST, to complete this activity.


2. Journal Pages Hunt - While on the boat, all members will do a hunt for Journal Pages. We have recorded each person's current collected Journal Pages. On Thursday, September 1, around 12:00 AM, SST, we will again compile a list of everyone's collected Journal Pages. All participating players get 3 points (this means you have to collect at least ONE Journal Page to get the participation points). The player with the most Journal Pages collected gets 10 points. Player with the second most Pages collected gets 7 points. Player with the third most Pages collected gets 5 points. Player with the fourth most collected Pages gets 3 points. And yes, there can be more than one point winner on the same team.


3. Introduction Creation Contest - Each team will create and submit TWO intros. One MUST be set on the Sleuthetania, and have a nautical theme. The second MUST have an Olympic theme of some kind. Spelling and grammar will be taken into account.

I hope we can Murray cuz I already sent all votes in one PM.

Aug-24-2016 12:37

I sent them all together too

Aug-24-2016 12:51

I would just do it like this:

"Team Member: Badass"
"Non-Team Member: Autumnsprings"
"Non-Player: Breitkat"

Then, it'll be easier to overlook for the Olympics Fan and easier to take everything into account. Unless you also gotta list a reason for why you voted for that person...

Apparently some of you have never done extensive travelling before, and didn't realize it can be a bit chaotic. :-. Huh.

Anyway. I don't think I mentioned anything about hunting a "man" down on the boat, Helen. You'll be looking for equipment and Journal Pages.

Yes, BadAss, you can board the boat before turnover/clockover/rollover/changeover/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, as long as you've completed all the tasks your team needs to prior to boarding.

Autumn, I *COULD* have said nothing, and let you guys find out tomorrow, instead of yesterday. You've had two days to start getting things in order. According to some, I'm being TOO lenient. And yes, everyone has to send one person back to clean out their locker and do various other stuff, but YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE doing it.

Murray and company, Yes, you can send all your votes in one PM, and No, you don't have to give a reason why you've voted as you have (I could have sworn I already said that. Huh. :-.) How you choose to vote is your business, and nobody else's. We simply need to know the results. And Yes, Vulkie's example is just fine. No more, no less.

The boat is in Shanghai Harbor. It'll be there til the early hours (4-5 AM, SST) of Thursday morning. So, get your stuff together, people. Time's a wastin'.

While I'm here, and I have your attention....

ALL TEAMS:

Please send out invitations to the following people:

Breitkat
Paranoid_Android (watch the underline on his name, please)
Daenerys Targaryen (watch the spelling on her name, please)
Hester Ectomy

If somebody isn't available, just send them to those who are (there's at least one who is). We'll deal with the others.

Well, this is where I say Bon Voyage!! ;-D

*Throws confetti*

Happy Travels!! ;-D

P.S. -- BadAss -- Yes, you may board the boat early. NO, you may not do any hunting or casework before turnover Thursday (12:00 AM, SST). I hope that makes things CRYSTAL clear.

The Sleuthetania can offer a nice diversity as a solo operation. But as a group effort it is a nightmare. If I were a jury member this would be my moment of laughs & giggles.

And don't forget folks, there is a charming little bug on the Sleuthetania that makes your contacts sometimes forget that they are your contacts. Just adds to the fun :)

Breit my comments were in regards to what Autumn had said not yourself and she clarified what she had meant :)
