In honor of that lousy waste of a month February being over, I have decided to hold the first-ever Sleuth March Madness Tournament!

The premise is pretty simple. We compile a list of 64 of the game's most recognizable players, seed them into a tournament bracket, and allow Sleuthville to vote for the "best" in each matchup.

Rules for eligibility:
You must be subscribed and over 30 days old
You must PM me with your intent to enter the tournament or to nominate an eligible member for the tournament. If you are nominating someone, you must also be subscribed and older than 30 days.
Entries and nominations should be messaged ASAP. As soon as we get 64, the seeding process will begin and the matchups will be posted.

After the initial bracket is filled, I will post a few matchups here every day. Then, the people involved in those matchups will have an opportunity to say "anything" on this thread that they feel will allow them to advance to the next round of competition. Sleuthville votes will be what decides the winners, and voting information will be coming soon.

The overall winner of this tournament will receive $100,000 sleuth cash.

Please begin sending your nominations and entries to me ASAP, and good luck!

Miss Violet Parr was busy posting large purple posters all over town. Upon the purple background was the picture of a beautiful blonde casting her gaze sideways. As Miss Parr was gluing her hundredth poster, she cast her gaze sideways herself to notice a little boy drawing a moustache on the face of the blonde on her posters.

Miss Parr walked straight towards the little rascal. He turned just in time to be terrified right before she started speaking: “What do you think you are doing here young man!”

“I’m just having some fun ma’am…”

“It’s Miss! Do you have any idea who this woman is?”

The boy looked at the blonde in the picture and shook his head.

“Why it is Lady Coco Cola herself! One the oldest, most credited, highly acclaimed detectives around here. She is a Director of Moonlighting, one of the leading detective agencies. She also genuinely cares about this neighbourhood and society and does her best always to welcome new comers like myself! She afforded me and many others a lot of warmth here and I will not have you make a mockery out of her portrait or ruin her campaign!”

“Campaign…?” the boy wondered.

“Indeed.”

“Is she going to be president ma’am?”

“Oh god knows the world would be a better place.” Violet Parr rolled her eyes, then, suddenly, a realisation dawned upon her, and she turned to the boy with a single word. “Miss!”

My vote is for Mr. Ranier Peperhaut, as yours should be.

Despite the fact that "he" has a little issue with straddling the fence, he has been an IMMENSE help to my team in the short time he has been at SMRT, rising to the rank of director, busting his ass and just generally showing all the rest of us up.

Also, he may not say much on the boards, but when he does, its either, a) brilliant, b) insightful or c) incredibly damn funny :)

VOTE FOR RANIER!!! WOOT!

"Zanjana, what is your response to the support being garnered by Mr. Peperhaut?" The leggy, blonde reporter shoved her microphone into my face as I rounded the corner to my office.

I was dog-tired. I'd been out chasing the dregs of our society, doing my darndest to keep the streets of Delhi safe. I was headed to my office to grab some files before catching the red-eye to New York, having just gleaned some important information on the trail of a valuable treasure. I pushed a stubborn lock of hair out of my red-rimmed eyes before responding.

"I have nothing but the utmost respect for Mr. Peperhaut. Though I do not know him personally, his reputation is stellar and I'm sure he's also a really nice guy. I, too, have worked tirelessly to advance both the record and reputation of my agency, catching average, garden variety criminals every day, as well as several devious Arch Villains. Though my agency does not promote readily to Director, I have begun to take on additional responsibilities, including recruitment and supervisory duties. When time permits, I have also made efforts to contribute to the community as a whole. You may feel free to contact Crunchpatty about the "Cheeto-dust incident" for verification of my worth in that area. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do."

And with that, I opened the heavy door to the Victorian Conservatory and disappeared inside. I had a plane to catch.

Let me tell you all a little story about a guy named Longwater.

From his humble beginnings as a prospector, panning for oil in Cleveland, he has recently risen from his poor social stature, questionable moral upbringing, and extensive rap sheet to take on a highly coveted position in Sleuthville: Special_K's personal errand-boy.

Now, while the job has perks out the yin-yang, Longwater is best known as a pillar of the community. His marathon sessions in chat serve to better those around him, that is when he's not too busy spouting legal rhetoric in an effort to defend yours truly.

Plus, he just had a kid. Gotta vote for the happy dad.

So remember, a vote for Longwater is a vote for... well, Longwater.

Re Cheeto dust and cross-dressed sloots:

At great personal risk (Ranier is like 8 feet tall and you really can't see a movie in southern Ontario without his nod), I'm going against the grain of my new agency and voting Zanjana! Yeah yeah yeah!

I'm sayin' this is the Phattest of the Phat Kittens, tearing up the boards with quality dope, all killa no filla and straight up mirth over the last few months, despite being mercilessly dogged and teased on a daily basis by minivans full of tech-saavy children about his K-ronik sleuth habit. It's hard gawdamn work with all that around your ankles and Z-town pulls it off like it's easy breezy beautiful -- vote Zanjana in the Cover(ed) Girl battle!

(Biggie again)

I would also like to throw my two cents in about Ms Helen Corning

Aside from being the rockinest female brit I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, shes a kickass sleuthaholic whos tearing up the boards with her new double, aside from Ms Helen.

Shes a great friend, funny as hell and a help to everyone out there who needs it, I have a ton of respect for her and I know she'll go far.

Rock on Ms Helen, youre the best!!! :D

(oh and HUGE props to Shannon for being probably the nicest competitor out there :)

I would have to lend my support to Tinuviel, one of the fantastical directors of al-Qahirah Investigations. Not only is she smart, funny and a terrific belly dancer, she has helped to bring al-Qahirah to the top of the London agency list and to a respectable showing on the all agency list in a MERE SIX MONTHS.

Tin has given her team her support, loyalty and dedication. She's always there for you with advice and help. I'm not sure she sleeps. She's Egyptian (need I say more?) She deserves to go on in her bracket. :)

VOTE FOR TINUVIEL!!!!!
