Waaaay before my time here, Serges hosted Sleuth March Madness in 2007. I thought it looked like a lot of fun, so... without further ado, The copy pasted rules from then with minor modifications! ;)

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 are not allowed to nominate yourself.
You may nominate up to 3 persons.
The nominated must be over 30 days old by March 1, 2010, and active.

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.

We will start the voting on March 1st, so get your nominations in as quickly as possible! Please PM me the nominations, and I will be posting a list of who has been nominated, the brackets, and all that fun stuff as we go. :)

Well what can I say about my endorsements??

While I love Aknas to death and I think really highly of her because she has been so helpful to me and has been great to talk to and get to know as a player, I must endorse LauraVo. She has been with me for almost 2 years now and she is just one of the best. She is always willing to help the team out inside the agency, and she is always there to help newbies or even more experienced players.
She one hecka funny gal who always keeps me laughing . She is one of my really close friends! What would I do without talking to her daily...or hourly for that matter?? I shudder to think!!!

Breitkat is wonderful. She has always been there for me and has help me personally and my agency out numerous times. I love her wit and and personality. I'm so glad she's my friend and so glad she is still around to be an example to.

Vote LauraVo and Breitkat!!

... some people post a lot on the boards and dazzle us with their lightning sharp wit and dazzling repartee.

... some people hang out in chat and become their very own mini sleuth party.

... and some people... just play1

I know, who knew.

It's the hidden gems of Sleuthville, those that don't have the highest profile but who have consistently and lovingly played and contributed constructively to the game over a period of time, short or long, that always have my admiration and respect.

So it should come as no surprise that I dip my toes into the murky waters of player endorsements by, unashamedly, putting up my hand and saying:

VOTE 1 ROSAMUND CLIFFORD!

I'm going to be gone all afternoon, evening, and tomorrow morning. So, because Round Two ends with yesterday's pairings, there will be a little break in the contest for the 'Sweet Sixteen' in the contest to regroup. The voting for March 11th ends at 13:30 today. Voting for March 12 ends tomorrow, March 14 at 14:40.

I will post the results for both days tomorrow afternoon or night, depending on when I get back.

Pairings for Round 3 commence on March 15th.

Any questions, PM me! ;)

Hmmm, "post a lot on the boards and dazzle us with their lightning sharp wit and dazzling repartee..."

HMMMMM "...some people hang out in chat and become their very own mini sleuth party."

I feel strangely as though I've been scolded. ;D

Hold MYSELF in such high esteem? Thats preposterous--- *Miss Sleuthville sash falls out of dress* Oh...lord.

Well I was referring to a couple of people, which you very well know!

And you? Goodness. I didn't realize it was Opposite Day. Why doesn't anyone tell me these things? ;D

What a difficult choice to make! However, since Shady insists on ignoring my hopeless, lovelorn advances, I'm going to have to go with Elizabeth March. A valuable teammate and member of Obelisk, she shines on the RP boards, integrating seamlessly into the works we put out. She is kind and always ready to lend a hand. Vote Elizabeth March!
