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.

So the only scores left to get are the RP and the intros, plus the MVP thingy. I don't know if that gives any points ?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

We are as close as d'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers!

The results are in [drum roll............]

First Place: DevilishWings, Chariots of Fire
Second Place: Etain, Rick's Cafe Americain
Tied at Third: CodeRed007, Feminine Assassins and Luc Pfeiffer, A Race to Adventure

Congratulations Chariots! Everyone wrote some excellent pieces and you all deserve a round of applause!!


Here's some feedback from our panel of judges:

- DW's entry: funny. Clear that parts of it had a lot of thought put into them.
- Very humorous! AND got it all in. Plus it is well written.
- Well written conversations and smart humour. Ties in well with the original thread.

- Etain's story: very funny, took the 'death by pommel horse' craziness in its stride and continued in that vein.
- Followed most of the technical rules.
- Well written. It seems to start in the middle of something, but I do love the dream twist.
- The dream section was a bit confusing, but it was a fun read and everything was in place.

- CodeRed's entry goes the way most serious RPs do.
- Interesting and for the most part, she's fine with the technical rules too.
- Very well written, but a little too serious/mysterious .
- The tie to the story was loose but the account in itself was an interesting read.

- Luc's entry was clearly over the limit and perhaps that's because he tried to resolve the whole thing with just his posts. RP stories based on contributions from different characters/RPers really capture the spirit of RPing.
- It's a neat comic short story in itself though.
- Very well written, but, not quite as blatantly funny. ;)
- Interesting characterizations and a well thought out investigation.

Judges pleading for our lives: Writers, thank you for taking out the time to write your RP entries - we enjoyed reading them, and went back to them quite a few times while trying to grade them. We decided we'd take in the story as it was first and then see about how well it complied with the technical rules originally set down, and grade it accordingly.

Thank you judges, for your results. Very good feedback you have provided for all the RP's. I think everyone's relieved we can finally put this behind us and now they can focus on the intro's
