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:

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

Ahh Pearl he can only dream of being on SS's team, as I do :)

Listen I just wanted to let everyone know, we are progressing along nicely to gamma, but a couple things I just wanted to clarify so everyone understood....

a) Registering for the AVL does NOT mean that you are signing up to participate in gamma, you are free to play or not play if you choose. I encourage everyone to at least register, so you can check out some of the features, see what its all about, etc.

b) Participating in the AVL does not mean you're doing extra work. In fact, all you are doing is working an AV hunt like any other :)

c) any of us Admins are always available to answer questions if you have them, so please feel free to pm any of us

Can't wait to see all your names on the site!

Welcome aboard the USS Enterprise, our continuing mission is to explore this primitive planet called Earth and engage in contact with its lifeforms. We have currently been asked by Starfleet command to form an away team with the dangerous mission of catching archvillians who threaten the stability of the local area we have been monitoring for the last year. You have been selected as potential candidates for our away team.

JOIN THE AWAY TEAM TODAY!

Looks at the recruiting board.

Hmmm, SS is looking for people but that position with Chelsea looks awfully tempting. Wonder what my old Hunt Mistress partner will be offering up?

Hehehe guys, nice to see everyone clamoring for spots :)

Just as another heads up, team registration will be starting soon, the Test Match showing in the AVL right now is for testing purposes only. Any teams created will have to be re-created once the registration begins (feel free to PM Serges for a date lol)

I can only offer the use of my trusty whip. It seems to work fairly well with my team mates at HHs, even if it seems less useful with my AVL partners.

Maybe I should point out that I have taken some lessons and can now crack it to the tune of "These Boots Are Made for Walking".

I signed up for the AVL, but only got to the main page and everything else seems to be under construction. I didnt see a message board or anyplace I could join a team. Is there an instruction page that I totally missed?

I'm currently seeing that too Roamie. It might be a side effect of my hosting company's bandwidth restrictions and the fact that I spend about 6 hours a night uploading changes.

I've noticed it before on some days, but it tends to open back up after a few hours.

*sigh* I suppose it's the result of a bargain-basement hosting company.

Sorry you can't get on there for the time being... just cross your fingers like I do and hope that my sleep-deprived programming skills didn't somehow crash the server :)

Hey all!

Thanks!

***UPDATE***

The AVL message boards are now LIVE. You can access them by clicking on the "boards" tab at the top of your detective page. Enjoy!

Also, a quick word on match formation...

There is a "test match" that I created to test the functionality of the new match interaction scripts i am writing (invitations, for example). Several players have formed teams in that match in anticipation of gamma. Originally I was just going to erase that match prior to gamma, but if the people who have registered for that match are still interested, I will keep it as is. Please PM me and let me know if you would like to keep that match or have me erase it so you can enter other matches, which will be set up in the next few days.

You may have noticed the AVL site moved to www.lkentertainment.net/sleuth . This is because of continued access problems people were having on the original site.

Fixed a few bugs along the way as well, that a few people have pointed out.
Invitations now work correctly, and I finally figure out how to set PMs so that your (example)
new lines show up as such.

It does NOT appear that Grudge Matches will be ready for gamma, but they were going to be tested discreetly, so that shouldn't matter much for the public test.

I hope to have the map system working within the week as well. PLEASE NOTE that once the map system is available, the AVDL page(s) will be accessed through there, and will have a different, improved look.

For those of you that were not part of beta, you may be confused about the site. Until recently, there hasn't been much to do on the AVL site unless you were competing. With the gamma test, and shortly after, you can begin to see more and more of what the AVL is becoming: a full-fledged expansion to Sleuth. In fact, lest a lightning bolt strike me down from Mount Sleuth-lympus for saying this, I feel that the AVL could be considered the BIGGEST Sleuth expansion EVER, once it's all said and done. JOIN TODAY!

OK... I'm going to try this one more time...

***stands on top of a building with a bullhorn so that all of Sleuthville can hear him***

If you are subscribed with over 100,000 experience,

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULDN'T JOIN THE AVL!

The AVL has become SO much more than a way to compete using Villain Hunts. I want people to stop thinking of it as a side competition and start thinking of it more like the first-ever fan-based EXPANSION to Sleuth. In fact, there are things to do in the AVL now that don't have ANYTHING to do with villain hunting!

The site is still very much in its infancy, but let me assure everyone that in only a few months, the AVL will be a world of its own. You can further improve and define your detectives within its walls, compete in a host of other competitive venues, and since it is a detective-led expansion, you can help shape the future of it!

That being said... hunting or not, Gamma testing or not, there is now a reason built into the site for people to want to log in EVERY DAY. I won't say what it is, but I hope when you find it, you will be pleasantly surprised!
