Well, we have a few members still lurking about. I'm thinking of implementing an arch villain hunt tournament, who would be interested in participating?

Okay, Molly hasn't been on for almost a month now since she's announced this competition, and now I'm starting to doubt whether this competition will blossom. I understand how she wants it to be different, and I can be patient for that, but at least a few updates now and then about it's progress would be appreciated.

Synesence, she has landed a 2nd job so real life for her is extremely busy. I believe at the time she announced this, she only had one job.

I'll give her a poke and see if she will pop on to post something about what her intentions are.

Dec-14-2011 21:34

Ah, I see. Well, in that case, I shall wait for news from her. :)

LJ,
If Molly is too busy, I would be glad to organize the competition. I was thinking of a Jan. 2 start. But time is short for that date, so let me know soon.

Hey Molly I'll search for this person I'm game

It has been a month exactly since Molly has logged in. Everyone who has shown interest has done numerous AVH’s since this contest was announced. It is high time to set a date and “Get this show on the road”, “Put the pedal to the metal”, or simply say, “Gentlemen! Start your engines!”

So in fond memory of our very own hard working Molly, we will have a Chinese New Year’s sendoff competition. January 23 marks the transition from the Year of the Rabbit to the Year of the Dragon. Categories will be labeled as Jack Rabbits, Jackalopes, and Old Dragons.

Let’s plan for a start of January 9 (Sleuth time). That is a Monday for most of you�"Tuesday for some of you.

Winners (yes, that is plural) will win 3-month gift subscriptions. If there are 7 or more in a category, runner-ups will win 1-month gift subscriptions. If you are just starting out or been around since the start of Sleuth Noir, there is a category for you.

Come one. Come all. Let’s have fun!

Categories will be:
Jack Rabbits (sleuths with less than a million points)
Jackalopes (sleuths with less than 10 million points)
Old Dragons (8 figure sleuths)
Note: You cannot enter more than one category. Your category will stay with you as to where you are when you accept your round 1 mission from the prince.

Competition will be head-to-head. No teams, simply individual. Very simple. To reduce the blind luck factor, there will be playoffs as follows:
2-3 competitors: Best 2 out of 3 with all competitors
4-6 competitors: Top 2 sleuths will have a sudden death playoff.
7-9 competitors: Top 3 in sudden death
10 or more: a 2nd round will be announced where the top half will advance.

You can start your AVH anytime on January 9. Entries starting after that date will not count (except by special permission). If you fail your AVH, you are simply out. Subsequent rounds will start January 16. January 16 may be pushed back depending on the results of the 1st round. You are timed simply on the day you finish�"NOT on the time of day. Don’t want anyone feeling like they have to start at a particular time of the day to be competitive. Only whole days will be counted, and YES, there may be ties. Any category must have 2 or more contestants to be viable.

Special Note: If January 9 is a bad day for you and you still want to enter this contest, please state so in a reply. Also state what date you can start. Reasonable requests will be accommodated, and only your total days on your AVH will be counted.

We want EVERYONE to join in this fun contest.
