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.

Actually I think I do... Obviously you can't refer to the Detective by name as there is no tag for that. ie if you refer to teh Detective as Badass, well that won't work when DevilishWings is playing it. The intro shoud read as though it's a 'generic' Detective.

But yeah you could say 'Good one, Einstein', when referring to the Detective, and that would be fine.

Third Place: Feminine Assassins (125 points)
Fourth Place: A Race to Adventure (117 points)

Side notes about the Intros:

1) For the intros being posted on this board, if you want to replace the generic game-generated names in your intro with your own original names, that’s perfectly fine. Just as long as the intro still works/makes sense with the generic names.

2) If you’d like me to take a look at your intro ahead of submission time for tags and such, I’d be happy to. However, I won’t touch your intros myself. Just shoot me a PM and let me know.

Journal Pages Hunt:

First Place: Etain [8] (13 points)
Second Place: Sophie4 [7] (10 points)
Third Place TIE: DevilishWings and Ms Helen [6] (8 points)

The number in brackets next to each name is the number of journal pages found. Everyone managed to find at least one journal page while on the ship, so you all receive 3 participation points (these have already been added for the winners).

First Place: Rick’s Cafe Americain (21 points)
Second Place: A Race to Adventure (19 points)

Wow, 6 points separates each team from the next one. Tight race to the finish line.

Also whatever happened to the colors, team captain thing.

Aug-30-2016 22:19

Now that we just finished that journal pages hunt, did anyone figure out what you can do with them aside from visiting the captain?

Aug-30-2016 23:26

Use them as toilet paper if there isnt any when you need to go. I doubt very much that there are toilets anywhere to be found in the Pyramids or the Caves in Shangri-La.
If youve gotta go youve gotta go and i think they would come in useful if youve had something dodgy to eat and stuck in one of those places. I mean who is going to know?

Aug-31-2016 00:03

:)) what about those.brass rings? Never knew what they were about

Aug-31-2016 00:04

Myeah, that captain 's journal is a rather depressing read anyway. Those pages will probably be in the same fashion. They might as well serve the purpose you suggested.

Aug-31-2016 00:48

devi, the brass rings were for an expansion that never happened. they just haven't been removed from the detective page yet for some reason. :)

Aug-31-2016 00:56

Ah. Well, damn. Would be nice to have a new expansion. And to have what to do with more than 3 journal pages too if I do say so myself.
