Registration is NOW being accepted for the October 10th beta test of the Dart Leagues in the AVL ("Arch Villain League").

I need 36 volunteers total to test everything, with the following stipulations:

2 sets of 6 detectives from the same agency (6 Hitchhikers & 6 Sirens, for example)

4 sets of 3 detectives from the same agency (3 Omega, 3 Blood & Dagger, 3 Fat Kitten, 3 SMRT Investigations, for example)

2 sets of 3-man teams regardless of agency affiliation

6 testers who will be teamed up at random.

If you are interested in learning about the AVL or becoming a Beta-Tester, please go to:

www.liquidkourage.net/sleuth

for more information.

If you have already talked to me about being a beta-tester, please PM me for your favlidation code.

Congratulations are in order for AndreaX, who will go down in Sleuth history as the first person to successfully catch a villain in the AVL!

Thanks for giving thanks to those who can only get stuck inside their coats. But I'm out and about now and actually making progress. Good job AndreaX on being the first.

Congratulations are also in order to Secret_Squirrel, Kagome_70, and Arabella Parker, who are the first people to WIN an AVL match!

Squirrel's Nuts def. The Tuesday Night Club 54-54 (Secret_Squirrel first to capture)

It was the tiebreaker that decided the match, since all 6 detectives in that match accused on the same day...

I have the (un)official results of the first round of matches in the AVL!

In the Inter-agency Division:
The Villain Squad def. Blood & Dagger 34-DQ
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly def. The Admins 26-16 (This result not official, but the victory is mathematically guaranteed)

In the Open Division:
Squirrel's Nuts def. The Tuesday Night Club 54-54 (Secret_Squirrel first to capture)
Wolf Pack def. River Rats 40-DQ

So now the question is, do we do a "winner's match" in each division? The matches would be:
The Villain Squad vs. The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
Squirrel's Nuts vs. Wolf Pack

If we do a winner's match I would like to start them in 10 days, or Oct. 27th. This gives everyone enough time to check out the new expansion stuff and build up their resources for another AV hunt.

Please let me know your thoughts on these ideas.

I wouldn't mind this, lol it would depend on my team mates. There's also a certain element of fear going up against Miss X.

Also I wouldn't mind seeing a rule change to eliminate double and triple points
so that people solve as soon as they can. Kagome was finished her AVL after 2 days and waited 3 days for me. That seemed like a bit of waste of time for her.

Ultimately the double triple pts method will lead to more draws (I think). And therefore the tie-breaker (if it had been needed) would have been fairer if it had been based on Kagome finishing after two days rather than me finishing after 5, where technically I was really the 'last' to finish in our team.

But I think it was a good match, and definitely want to another one some time.

Keep forgetting about the evaluation with all the other things going on these days.

It was lots of fun, and made you feel a little less isolated while hunting for your villain.

I agree that the double-triple bonus points will possibly result in quite a bit of waiting where one person could potentially sit for days without being able to do any else but wait for the others to finish because the advantage to getting the extra points is so big.

Also I wonder why a tie is based on which team has the first person to finish and not which team has all it's members finish first? And no this has nothing to do with us losing to the nutty squirrels and that it reeks of nepotism ;p - I'm fine with that, really I am - *cough cough* - honestly I am :D - it somehow just makes more sense with it being the entire team since it's a team based contest - or maybe not.

There's also a little bug in your score system (unless I misunderstood something) as our team was not given points in the order we finished, but in the order we were listed as a team. Again I don't care who got which points, just wanted to point out the discrepancy :)

Overall it's an excellent idea :)
