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)

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

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.

some people never learn i guess.....

Moving right along past any ellipses, still 12 spots available for this contest. :)

Well Jason I really like this idea but was not sure if I could stay put in an agency for long ;)

After reading this whole thread I have decided I would like to be part of this.

Since Eye Spy is asleep at the moment I do not have any other commitments.

I would also like to help out with the cost of starting the agency as I do have some spare cash hehehehe ( just paid off my million to shady in Delhi )

Goodness Carrie you survived reading this entire thing and paying shady a million? You win my respect over both of those things, i happily add you to my list.

11 slots left, there's still plenty of time and even if i dont get 24 people the contest will still move forward. I'm planning this to take place about a week or
two after Riza's VH competition to give everyone a breather. :)

Make that 10 spots left. :D

How are you treating apartments?

My thoughts:

Permissible for a detective to use clothing stored in an apartment (?)
(However, the only benefit I can see, at least for me, would be "smart clothing" usage.)

Not permissible to use case files stored in apartment prior to the competition commencement. However, once it begins, okay to store unused daily case files in apartment? Your call on that, Jason

I don't have sidekick cases, so I have no extras - how are you treating that? If you have them, use them? It won't bother me either way
