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:

With the winner's matches drawing to a close, I think it's safe to say that the AVL betatest was an overall success.

That being said, it's time to begin thinking ahead, to... that's right... the GAMMA test.

There's only one problem... I really don't know what to work on before gamma goes live.

Here is a list of things that I hope will be ready for gamma:
Grudge Matches
the AVL wagering system
improved player control over the AVDL (creating matches, teams, etc.)
match message boards
improved navigation across the AVL site

Now, here's what I need. I need all current beta-testers to PM me (within the AVL site please) with their feedback so far. What do you like? What do you hate? What would you like to see added? What needs to be revamped? etc.

I am also considering taking on 1-2 additional AVL administrators, mostly to help Logan and I shape the current and future direction of this whole thing. I am looking for active, creative, dedicated people for this, so PM me if you're interested in applying.

The potential rollout for the AVL Gamma Test is Dec. 1st. I will announce when registration is open for those of you who are not currently listed as beta-testers.

One more thing... it has been an unwritten rule so far, but...
YOU MUST BE A SUBSCRIBED DETECTIVE WITH OVER 100,000 EXPERIENCE TO JOIN THE AVL. These are Sleuth's requirements, not the AVL's, to complete a Villain Hunt.

As always, any questions, comments, etc... you know where to find me.

I would just like to say a HUGE thank you to Serges for all his hard work sorting this AVL buso out and making it so bloody ... well... good!! This seems to be nothing more than a labour of love on his behalf, and to me that speaks a thousandfold as to what kind of guy he is. Ok enough of the warm fuzzies, I'm sure others can do it better than I.

Just thanks Serges!

And on a personal note "Go nuts"! & "In your face X!" :D

*puts whip carefully aside*

Hey, I can be a gracious looser..specially since I have no one else to blame. Congrats to the nuts for a job well done. And to my team mates, thanks for everything. We'll get 'em next time guys!

Also, huge hugs, kudos, and thanks to Serges for putting this together. You rock man!

***UPDATE***

Squirrel's Nuts and The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly are the respective winners of the Winner's matches. Congratulations to these teams, who have proven their merit in Villain Hunting.

There is currently a 6-way tie for #1 on the AVL scoreboard: Secret_Squirrel, Arabella Parker, Kagome_70, Ms Helen Corning, Carrie Mehome, and woody1 have all reached level 2 already. Congratulations on that accomplishment as well!

Biggie528 has been chosen as the AVL's third Admin. Her insight and help has been instrumental in shaping the present and future courses of the AVL, and her contributions have not gone unappreciated.

Remember, the Gamma test is scheduled for Dec. 1st, so ANYONE who can do Villain Hunts is encouraged to register and check out this rapidly-growing aspect of Sleuth!

Please note, for those that have inquired about how to register for the AVL, that the registration form can be found at www.liquidkourage.net/sleuth... I intend on updating the form itself in the next few days since much of it is beta-specific, but for now just disregard any team/division info it asks you for... the form will still work fine.

Just so everyone knows the AVL is coming along great! I have seen some of the inside workings and I can say from an inside perspective Serges is working very hard to make this a huge compliment to Sleuth. If you haven't gotten in yet...REGISTER!!!

On a side note anyone at anytime that feels like doing any sort of match in the AVL PM through AVL or Sleuth. 'Cuz I am a villian hunting addict! However, I have to give first priority to my awesome teammates of "The Nuts" 'cuz well we rule!!!!
