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'm getting all sorts of funny images now of Vulkie being the announcer at my funeral ceremony while my corpse rises from it's coffin to take a deep bow.

Make sure to give the guests some free ice cream too.

Third Place: Rick's Cafe Americain (117 points)
Fourth Place: A Race to Adventure (111 points)

How the intro grading will work: Each team's intros will be judged as a unit (the combined efforts of both intros). Each team will receive 3 participation points for each intro they submit, for a maximum of 6 participation points per team. If you do not submit one or more of the intros, you will not receive the participation points. The intros may be submitted by any member of your team. Please submit them both under the Create Sleuth Content tab in the Writer's Workshop area of City Hall and here on this thread. For the intro submissions on this thread, please use the version with no tags. If you do not submit your intros in both places, you will be penalized.

If you have any questions or worries, please feel free to PM me and I'll help you out.

*here* is where you get a chance to show people what the intro was meant to look like before you stuff up all the tags. :D

And, since I'm the only judge who can actually see the tags, the others not being 'editors', I wouldn't get tooooo stressed about them.

Getting you to put the tags in isn't just trying to make you jump through a ridiculous hoop (did you just say 'you mean 'another ridiculous hoop'' Badass? I totally heard that...), what it really means is that we can use these intro's in game when they are approved, as it would be a shame not to use them, and (from an Admin perspective) for there not to be a real physical Sleuth footprint that these games took place. :) :)

You've heard it guys, now you know Squirrel is a judge; better bring some macademia nuts for that furry rodent, so he'll judge in favor of you :)

In the meantime, I'll keep him supplied with my special macademia nut ice cream :)

Yeah so, didn't realize this was a comp... I just thought two of you really liked Sleuthetania. Sorry for interfering in the contest. BadAss I approved yours, but it's back again I see. I instructed Sindy that you can't use personal detective names in your intro and that it should be gender neutral so it applies to all players... So. There's a little tip for all y'all who didn't know to level the playing field after my interfere-nosity.

Carry on!
