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!

(Let me quickly point out the obvious conflict of interest that occurs with submitting votes tomorrow. For the record, my wife, Kagome_70, will be managing "Ballot Box" any day that I am "competing", and I will not physically see any votes sent to that character. Anyone who chooses to send their votes to me as Serges does so with that caveat.)

GOOD LUCK ALL!

Everyone up today are great people and contributors to this game, but His Crunchiness just simply and totally ROCKS! ::grin::

A tough match, Reda vs. Serges. A shout-out for Reda, who is easily one of the classiest acts in Sleuthville. Though I recently left Fat Kitten, Reda was a stellar director, and without her guidance there is no way that I would have come as far in the game as I have. She has been here since the VERY beginning - ask her anything about the history of Sleuth, I dare you.

Serges is, without a doubt, a powerful force to be reckoned with. With due respect to him, I still say, vote for Reda. Class and elegance like hers makes Sleuthville a better place to be.

Wow Calalta, I am (almost) speechless. Thank you my friend.

I would like to make the opposite plea for votes though. Calalta is a great friend and a great mod. When I need advice, or just someone to listen to my non-coherent ramblings, he is there for me and I know he will always tell me the truth. As a sleuth player he is hard working, and knows this game inside and out. He gives it his best. I have had the pleasure of working with him, and the even greater privilege of calling him my friend.

*holds up a sign* Vote for Calalta




*looks at SS and whispers* GOOOOOOOOO NUTSSSSSSSSSSS!

Vote for Lady Ruby Caplan....Friend...Confidant....staple figure in the sleuth world....She is always ready with open arms and ears for anything you can dish out....She rocks my world...and she'll rock yours too!!!!

VOTE LADY RUBY CAPLAN!

LULAH LULAH LULAH!!! I can write pages about this amazing woman!!

My best friend, my better half, for 14 years now, stood by me through it all, the best and the worst. She has the most wonderful sense of humor I've ever come across, the kind that makes me feel and laugh like a kid again. She's so animated and spontaneous. As far as al-Qahirah is concerned, I wouldn't have been able to do it without her. She's the rock I can fall back on. I depend on her in everything and she's been there to support us all, most of the time at her own expense. She does so much and I don't feel like she gets the credit she deserves.

Vote for this amazing person, sleuther and director!!

VOTE LULAH!!!!

Let's hear it for SERGES!!!
His friendship has been one of the priceless gifts Sleuth has bestowed on me :)
The guy is just tireless and his contributions to the game have made it all the more enjoyable for the whole community. He has helped make Villain Hunting a more fun, competitive experience, and less lonely. He keeps our boards and chat rooms clean, works night and day on the AVL, and is a leader in one of the most successful and powerful agencies in the game. He's given us all so much So, of course:
VOTE SERGES!!!

I am officially starting to hate this thing :)

I have three people to speak for in this match, and I promise you one of these days I'm totally gonna shut up....just not today :)

I totally love Leddie, and miss her now that she's not as active as she once was. Lady Ruby Caplan has been a great friend to me, whether it was just to chit chat or talk about something more serious. She is close to my idol, I wish I could be half as brave as she has been in her life, uprooting herself multiple times, first in the name of a greater experience, and next in the name of love. I think she's just generally an awesome person and I respect her outspokenness, her sense of humor, and her ability in this game :)

Adam Carter, the reincarnation of the great Bill Oakes, game board poster extraordinaire, has become my own personal "International Man of Mystery". He gives me advice, he listens to me bitch about everything in this game, and the place wouldn't be the same for me without him. I am sooo happy to have him as my friend.

and finally, Serges. My BFF :) I don't know WHERE I would be without him. He's incredible, he's funny, he's super smart, and so dedicated to this game it borders on mania. He has helped me through multiple personal crises, put me up in his home, made me fall in love with his son, and made my first RL sleuth experience one of the best I've had in my life. I love this man a ridiculous amount and consider him like family (with a nice incestuous twist, since lets face it, hes a perv lol).

Vote for Serges, Adam and LRC, they all deserve to be in this competition :)

(Bobo, come home! I miss you buddy!)

Mar-9-2007 16:48

Yeah, everything Tunviel said, plus... well, he makes me laugh so much I think I've lost ten pounds.

Vote for the man who uses laughter to burn calories!! VOTE SERGES!!

VOTE WOODY

Woody is the director of the number one agency in sleuthville. He has been a fantastic mentor to me and many other detectives. Always willing to help new and old members alike he is an asset to Sleuth. He has more patience than any person i have seen and will give people a chance when no one else will.

VOTE ADAM

What can i say Adam has stuck by me in these last few months. He's been there when i have needed to shout, cry and laugh and just generally talk and talk about one particular thing or should i say person :). I have confided so much with Adam and i know that i can trust and rely on him 100%.

He has been remarkable in re organising HH:NY when it was going through a less than perfect stage (no offense guys). He is a regular member of chat and provides us all with hours of amusement and entertainment.

I feel privilaged to be friends with such a nice guy he really does deserve your vote.
