I was quite disappointed when I saw the reward for winning this competition as I dont feel the reward fits the accomplishment. I dont begrudge anyone receiving this reward but there are a lot of detectives out there that are far more deserving of this prize and I am sure there are a lot of people that really feel bad when they see what they received. I hope that there are other ways of recieving this reward as I find this to be just another reason for me to stay away from villian hunts. Congrats to the winners but I am very unhappy to see this given in such a way when a lot of very deserving detectives cannot get it.I feel that a lot of winning these competitions is based on the luck of the clues and not always the skills of the competitors.

Ben, I think you should take the gate key away. Its power is too great.

I have to say I hear Woody's and other's point of view on not knowing that there would be any Sleuth Prize rewarded for that AVL hunt. I might have formed a team if I had known.

But I am not that upset, especially when I know that every other contest in Sleuth from Mop-Men (link is broken by the way) to the last Beauty Pageant someone got something tangible in Sleuth.

At least with the Gate Key being an actual piece of equipment they will be spread around, and used as appropriate.

Whoa its an actual piece of equipment?

Hehe, I wonder who will be the first to complain about not being able to wear that, the compact travel kit and get an accessory as your prize without selling something lol ;)

Ok I guess it is time for me to respond to the gate key issue. First off I have to say I was in shock when I found out and felt like I had been hit on the head and was hurt that after all the months of working on villian hunts and having a gate key on my wish list, that you could get it after just a few days work. I had hoped that by many people bringing up the wish for a gate key it would be rewarded by hard work of capturing those pesky villians! After the shock wore off (which only took about ten minutes...hehehehe) all was fine as it does not change the mechanics of the game at all. It also dawned on me that I do get everything I wish for it is just a matter of time :) Congrats all and thank you Ben for finally giving SS one as I promised him you would!

I think Carrie should get a gate key. She is in a league of her own when it comes to this villan hunting and everyone knows it. I don't care how she gets one, another contest, bribe Ben, whatever. But I do think she deserves a key. :-D
