People of Sleuthville, lend me your ears!
I call out now to all you tomb-raiders and treasure seekers! To those who love the thrill of a good treasure hunt!

In the spirit of friendly competition i propose a challenge.
This challenge will require 10 adventurous detectives to be split onto 2 Teams, each team consisting of 5 members, in 2 newly made Agencies of my own making in NY.

These two agencies will compete against each other in Treasure Hunts.
The first team to get their agency to 7,000 Fame wins:

$200,000 Prize to be split among the team evenly.
(Working out to $40,000 a piece for each teammate...not too shabby huh?)
Also each team after the contest ends will vote amongst themselves on who alone among their team was MVP (someone who went above and beyond, did a really excellent job, etc) The MVP's from Both teams will win a 3 month gift subscription from me personally.
You also win bragging rights and honor for your home agencies on being an awesome treasure hunter.
Whether your team chooses single or multi-city hunt strategy is entirely up to you.

Obviously this competition will run for a while, (I'm venturing a guess at anywhere between 2 weeks to a month depending on how luck smiles on you or how good you and your teammates are).

It goes without saying that you would be required to resign temporarily from whatever agency you are currently in to join my competing agencies for the contest. You are allowed to enter an alternate detective if you wish if you're too attached to have your main detective leave your agency, and the only rules are:

1) Absolutely NO Password Sharing.
2) Only one entry per contestant
3) Have fun.

I want to know who among you treasure hunters really has what it takes to come together and co-ordinate as a team to truly be the best.

(Cont'd)

Just an update guys im waiting for Riza's VH Competition, and Molly's Beauty Pageant to be finished with before i set everything up. Also 12 spots still available.

Also everyone im considering raising the stakes for the reward money from $40,000 to $100,000 per team member of the victorious agency. So for anyone out there unsure if they want to compete, maybe this will be an added incentive to make things interesting.

Just an idea Jason if you find it hard to built 2 teams. maybe you can make 1 complete team and have it compete with all of us. In that case you take the zero point (starting) fames of the agencies that will compete and we start as soon as you want

Thanks VS ill keep that as a lovely plan B just in case, good idea. :)

I think theres still plenty of time to fill up a second competing agency though, but its definitely food for thought.

Takes one to know one ;)

Another update, i will start setting up this contest as soon as Riza's AVH Competition is finished, due to Molly Maltese's enthusiasm and insistence my contest for this TH-thing will take place before her pageant....I guess ill just be waiting a little bit longer for my pimp hat.

Anyways this moves up the time tables considerably with 12 slots still available.
