Hey guys. This is kind of a follow-up to my last thread. There I asked many of you what you had done to make things any different. Here I'm asking you, "What are you going to do?"

I always tell students it's better to show not tell, so here we go!


What I'm doing- Tonight I started writing a short scripted mystery that will serve as a tutorial to answer a lot of the common SM questions that people have.

How long will it take me- Hopefully I will have the whole thing done in a month (but with me who knows).

What would I need for it to work- I'd need it to be approved as a Scripted Mystery and ideally I'd like Ben to make it free to all players.


So what do you think guys? What can you do to help Sleuth?

I'll join up with Night Queen, that is if she'd like to be on a team with me :)

Mar-20-2011 21:20

Lady Jas, you have a teammate! :)

Mar-20-2011 21:34

Lady Jas and I will be the team, Flash Fire. We will add two more sleuths.

I'm up for it- I'll be joining in with Lady Jas and Night Queen on Flash Fire. Thank you Night Queen for inviting me :)

My schedule is a little wonky :)

But I will throw my hat into the ring if you need another warm body (hehe, don't take that literally, VS!!!)

Not sure which team, just place me where I am needed :)

Hmm..... Real (love) life is sorta kinda confusing to me right now and I am quite busy at work. But I need a distraction, so count me in too. :D

Not sure which team either. Like Ms Nancy, just place me where I am needed. :D

Wow! this sounds great!

I have a feeling the teams are starting to form - by how you post.

"The Disasters" is a team of 3 people so far, and I guess I will be able to find a fourth player as well...

"Flash Fire" is a team of Lady Jas, Night Queen and Dekz, and they too promise to find a fourth player.

Then 4 people seem to be busy in their minds of various reasons (Aknas, Vampiric Smile, Breitkat and Anikka) and I would suggest to make a team of them, called "The Mindful" (I hope this name plays well in English, I hope the word means something like those whose mind is great, wise, caring and gracious)

Then we have 3 people who seem to be clear thinking (Ypsi, Andrew Correlli, Nancy Harris) that I would put together in an "Eagle Wing" team (because it sounds so similar to eager win(ners), and I view them as those great eagles floating on top of everything). This team might well have another member, perhaps someone new to doing an AVH?

It's not a problem with 3 member teams though, since the 3 best will count towards the score, a 3 member team will not have the ability to keep just the 3 that gives the best score for the result, all will count.

Since this is a test tournament, I suggest it will go over just one round. Meaning the winner team will win directly.

Riza have told that she might put up a real AVH tournament when the test is over, then I guess that will be over more than one round.

Irene asked me if I would join her team, trying to do my very first AVH in the test tournament, and I thought it would be a nice experiment.
- so I have agreed to join in her "The Disasters" team.
It will be interesting to be in a team tournament and not have to feel the pressure of doing a great job, when I am still a newbie.
