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!

MamaTerra could not speak on her own behalf today, as she is on temporary hiatus.

So I will gladly take the soapbox.

Mama "Earthmother" Terra is hands-down, one of the funniest, most sincere, genuinely AWESOME people I have come across in my time here in Sleuth. She is a dedicated teammate, having taken time away from her home in HH: New York to help build the new training facility at HOG. She is a staple in chat, where her wit and her charm are infectious. I have had the pleasure of talking to her outside the game as well, and she strikes me as the kind of person I could see myself being in touch with 10 years down the road.

I remember running into her in chat for the first time. I tried to give her a hard time, as it is alleged I tend to do from time to time. Well... frankly, she didn't take any of my crap. She rose to the challenge and put me in my place, and ever since then we have been friends and colleagues.

Plus, she is absolutely 100% against Britney Spears' new hairstyle.

So remember folks, a vote for MamaTerra is a vote for Britney getting a wig!

Barry opened the morning paper and read the news. He was surprised to see his name in the position it was in. He thought about Mr. Roepel and what a swell guy he was. He was a bit saddened about the outcome but took some solace in the thought that Mr. Roepel would be able to find comfort in the arms of a wonderful woman.

Wow, Fille!
That was some shoutout for Biggie and me. Oh and it is oh-so-true too ;)

Thanks!

:D

*pacing nervously in her stylish yet sensible election day hat* I'd be honoured if you'd vote for me! :-)

Ever since first seeing this draw i have been wondering if i would be the first person to do this, and i guess that i am. I fully encourage everyone to vote for my Opponent in tomorrow's race. Arabella Parker is one of the nicest, sweetest, kindest people you could ever want to meet, and her patience in chat, or with me at times has never ceased to amaze me. I would love to move on in the tournament, but i know that my vote at least will be going to Arabella, one of my best friends in the game and one of the truly wonderful people who make the game what it is. On a side note i would like to say that Serges is a big meanie for making me face one of my better friends in the first round :( , but i guess that it will happen to everyone sooner or later if they advance.
