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

ctown? Take defeat graciously? I would pay money to see that!

Eudaemon, congrats! And so modest, too! :)

And come on... Riza cheat? Never. *twiddles thumbs and looks at the ceiling*

Thanks again! :)

Hey Brady, i noticed that it took you 6 days to capture this one. Given the winners here usually did it in 3-4 days (and then there's those crazier people, not to mention any names), I'd say you're not missing much (hope this makes you feel better for not being able to make it into this tourney, but hey, maybe for the next one you'll get in the race and win!).

Anais, look at me. I know you're in it too. It's a conspiracy!! (can i be in it too?)

Aug-26-2009 20:15

Me? Be in a conspiracy? You must be talking about some other Anais... (Sure, we even have a secret handshake!)

Aug-27-2009 05:47

Wow, congrats Eudaemon!

Also a belated congrats to Anais for your very first Arch Villain. I remember what a great feeling it is :D

Now for some sad news... my internet connection is pretty funked up at the moment... last night it took me more than 1 hour to complete one case. Needless to say, i didn't manage to do many cases yesterday and it looks like today will be the same. So... i don't think it's too premature to congratulate Rosa +/- turtledove. Congrats!

secret handshake? Just great! You people have a conspiracy against me!

I guess it is not healthy to admit defeat before it actually happens, yet here I am!

"Is East of Bank, Is East of Bank. etc".. was all I've being told.

I guess everybody here in Delhi really fear of Colonel Maximilian Severn.

I guess tomorrow will be another hunting day!

I'm still here for the time being too LaSorella although I haven't played all of my cases today yet. The only clues I have gotten today are "NOT the Holy Man" so it must be repeat day here in Delhi! Yuck!

Aug-27-2009 11:10

Oh sure Joseph, kick me while I'm down. Bad enough you all wont let me play, now make fun of my abilities! :-P

Aug-27-2009 11:59

It's not about abilities, it's all about luck!! Just look at poor LaSorella and Miss Snopes, great players, who's stuck with the same clue over and over and over. So, your luck got you 6 days this time. Many be when you enter, your luck will change!!

once i had 21 repeated clues in the same city before the final one pops up (and yes, it was during a tournament).... so start counting miss snopes and LaSorella, i'm joining you too. My delhi day have just started and i'm getting "South of Detective Shop" quite a few times already... great, that leaves me with...... 8 townie suspects....

I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with your internet connection, topkebab, but don't give up yet! The more the merrier :)

Congrats to all who made it to the next round so far.
