Attention ladies and gentlemen, at the request of several players, I am proud to announce the Sleuthville AVH Tournament 2011! *trumpets blare and streamers fly*

The format will be 16 detectives, randomly paired off into teams of two by a third party, to face one other team. For this competition, players going through Cairo will have a day taken off their totals. The winning team will be the one with the lowest combined number of days for hunt completion. Failed hunts will not count against you. You will not be disqualified. If you fail your hunt and would like to start another, you may, but the day count will start from the official start date of the round. Irene will be tracking progress using her new program, so this can be considered as further testing.

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
-use agencies and apartments to swap gear

You may not (enforced only by the honor code):
-use sidekick cases (for either clues or travel)
-enter second/third detectives, etc.

The winning team(s) from each round will go on to the next round until a winning team is determined. In the case of a tie, both teams will move on to compete in a triple threat pair matchup. The last team standing wins. Anyone who would like to join, please POST here. Participants will be gathered on a first-come, first-served basis. The first matches will start on Monday, April 25, 2011.

Each following round of the competition will start on the next Monday at 0:00 sleuth server time, unless one of the matches takes longer than expected. In that case things will be adjusted accordingly and you will be updated as soon as possible.

Would it be possible to get one day off for having to pass through Delhi as well?

Delhi was always my nemesis, but the past few hunts that seems to have shifted to London. Bleah.

Regarding the "sick of coffee/tea", the clue states that it is the villain who is sick of it. Some of the clues mention the co-conspirator, so it is confusing.

Heimlich, commiserations, and I confess I'm glad it's not just me who is confused by that one. I think I must have missed that it's the villain who's sick of tea/coffee, not the co-conspirator. Once you realise that, the whole thing makes a lot more sense!

Thanks to those people who PMd me about it.

Whew! I made it through Cairo. Vulkie3 and I stopped and had afternoon tea on a balcony overlooking the Nile. Good luck in Cairo, Vulkie!

Hm... now, when I checked out...
I realize that because someone have already finished... :-S

The tracker is failing while it tries to calculate the points...

I am pretty sure you can use the page:
http://playsleuth2.com/Noir/bonus/Scores/avhSelectedList.spy?id=4
- to make sure you are tracked, even though it does not show the results that have been collected up to now...

I'll check that out and do a re-post here, when I am 120% sure, so that you will know for sure.

I will try to find the error though :-)

Arch Villain Caught!
The notorious criminal Sir Xavier Lancaster was brought to justice by Peter O'Neil after a painstaking hunt in which the heroic detective successfully tracked the villain around the world.

Shanghai is always my worst!

Nothing was said about going to Cairo at the end of day if you are out of cases. Is that allowable? I'm assuming since nothing was said it is and that people have been but just want to check and make sure!

Thanks!
