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.

I want to take this moment here to also give a big thanks to Ms Helen for her advice on this, her along with a few others (biggie, cfm, serges) have been a great help to helping me get this idea off the ground. Thank you to the crypt and summer and drew for your suggestions as well, and a big thank you to another certain someone who has helped really make this a reality. This certain someone wishes to remain annonymous but i thank him greatly for everything hes done and is doing. This is going to be a blast guys. :)

Thank you, Jason, for getting my name right.

That naughty VS so enjoys intentional Freudian slips with my name. He will sometimes call me Aortic in reference to the pumping of blood--vampire humor. Or, he will use Arotic. I don't even want to know what he is thinking with that one.

I look forward to this contest in any case.

Good man! I'm not copy and pasting the list again so soon- adding Jesse Hunter's name to the list that makes 23. Wow. This is awesome. One final spot left for my contest and then everyone please be resigned from your agencies ready to accept an invite either to The Raiders or The Crusaders on July 15th in NY. If either team after the contest begins wishes to move their agency to a different city for strategic purposes then go for it.

Don't forget a little spring cleaning in those apartment case files everyone. :)
