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)

See I told you I can get on a roll :D

Also posted all that as Beef posted it seems :)

Beef thank you for your apology, that is very sweet of you.

<3 Beefy (and so sorry about the earful of Fille, I bet that smarts)

I am going to be in chat after 8:30-9pm EST. I feel like I must have missed something here for all this to go down like this. I am heartbroken and more than a little pissed off to have lost one of my agency directors over this crap, and I really would like to see if this can be worked out before the contest falls apart. What I'm really worried about is losing the momentum we had going here, of Sleuth veterans returning and the community coming together again. So I hope to see some of you there for a chat.

Bring booze, yo.

Also Emma, you are the epitome of grace <3

I have been called many things Ara but graceful wasn't one of them :D

well in this case, you're showing a lot.

I'm sorry for letting myself go all Biggie circa 2007. I feel terrible now :(

You know through all of the above the only things I really took note of was that Adam Carter's avatar seemed to go from a pose of clairvoyancy to someone rubbing their temples to alleviate a migraine.

I am sure everyone is now busying themselves being pleasant, tearing up their divorce papers, and generally smoothing the waters discretely.

PS I might add that maybe the people who didn't get involved need a bit of TLC too.

Zan, beef, everyone i just want to say if anything i said came across as personal, then id like to apologize. I feel like i might have upset you guys for two people to leave the contest over it. I didn't mean to upset anyone or make anyone quit. Sorry.
