Ok, this is going to be a lazy summer day VH tourneyâ€"just for fun. I know this is originally ctown’s kind of thing, so don’t you all poke me if I do something wrong. :P

Anyone who wants to join, PM me saying so. The match will start on Monday August 17, 2009 at 0:00 sleuth server time. Now to the rules.

You may:
-travel to Shangri La the night before, but NOT start the hunt
-use a travel kit
-use head of faction privileges

You may not:
-use sidekick cases
-enter second/third detectives

The format will be 8 or16 detectives, depending on turnout, each randomly paired off by a third party to face one other person. The winner from each round will go on to the next round, etc, and whoever’s left wins! The results from each week will be posted here. Now, what do you win? Um… *fades off into mumbles*

And if I forgot anything, don’t hesitate to tell me. As always, have fun! :D

No capture for me today, but I did make it to my final city. I only wish I had remembered to bring the travel kit with me to SL. Of course since I didn't the city where I left it was the last city in the hunt! I call shenanigans Riza, you fixed it! :-P

Congratulations, Kachenka! Job well done :D
Good luck in the tourney!

Ugh, Delhi was a killer for me - needed 5 clues, including "not the Holy Man" and "not the Missionary"!! But I prevailed, and caught that nasty Countess Sabina Frost.

Funny, I thought I apprehended her last week :P

Anyway, it was great fun, and good luck to my worthy opponent Kachenka and all the others who will move on to the next round!

Ok, I admit it, I fixed the whole contest. I fixed it so that you'd forget your travel kit and get bum clues and of course, I also made sure I got eliminated. ;)

Good luck to everyone moving on to the next round! :D

Just when I was about to give out , I finally got the last clue to where the hideout was.

I should've known Nero "the Cutter" Cainwould be hanging out with the Silk Merchant for I did hear he like to have his suits customized to this style.

I wish good luck , patience (and enough good clues) to all in their hunts! :-)

Wow Riza, you didn't learn anything from watching me run all those tourneys. You NEVER admit to cheating no matter how incriminating teh evidence against you is! :-P

Congrats LaSorella! And also to everyone else who advanced.
This is proving to be the hardest hunt I have been on. It seems like I have gotten every clue so far repeated at least 4 or 5 times.

Phew! Definitely the hardest hunt I've ever been on. My villain finally took pity on me and she let me catch her with my first case today.
