Greetings, fellow Sleuths! The time has come once again for the annual Sleuthville Arch-Villain Hunt Tournament, where experienced detectives and newcomers alike come together to show off their villain-nabbing skills and make the city a safer place. What better way to spend a hot summer day than with a little friendly competition?

The format will be 16 detectives, randomly paired off into teams of two by a third party, to face one other team. (This hunt will go forward only if there are enough players participating [16]. If not, the tournament will be cancelled altogether.)

The rules:

- As soon as you are matched up with your partner, please POST your team name on this thread.
- Either PM me or POST here as soon as possible if you find that your hunt goes through Cairo, so I can keep accurate records.
- In the spirit of competition, trash-talking is allowed and encouraged, just as long as it is friendly and appropriate.
- You may not PM me to ask for any AVH hunt help or advice.
- If you are unable to compete in a round for whatever reason, you are allowed to ask someone to sub in for you for that round only. This privilege may only be used once per team, and only in emergencies. The player who is subbing in for you may be anyone who is not competing in the current round, even someone who was not initially entered in the competition.
-You bear the responsibility of making sure your partner shows up. No replacements are allowed in this case.

You may:
-Travel to Shangri-La the night before, but NOT start the hunt
-Use a Compact Travel Kit
-Use head of faction privileges
-Use agencies and apartments to swap gear

You may not (enforced only by the honor code):
-Use sidekick cases (for either clues or travel)
-Enter second/third detectives etc.

I reserve the right to disqualify any player from this competition at any time for breaking any of the rules or for behaving inappropriately. All final decisions rest with me.

!! Villain Hunt Tourney Teams Announced
Drawing names out of a moth-eaten Fez, Tourney Organiser Riza Hawkeye announced the pairings & first round match-ups for the annual Villain Hunt Tourney.

Nervous young detectives moved through the milling crowd, warily introducing themselves to their new partners, whilst old hats and previous winners like Sal Iva and Carrie Mehome sized up their opposition and engaged in some light-hearted banter.

The pairings and first round match-ups are as follows.

1. Bela Talbot III and Peter O’Neil vs. ypsi and Andrew Corelli
2. Carrie Mehome and Gremmykins vs. ShaggyMia and Kathryn Gumshoe the 7th
3. Silas DelArmand and Cordelia Falco vs. DevilishWings and Sal Iva
4. Lou Hoyle and Francesca Romano vs. Breitkat and ctown28

City News hopes to provide its renowned unbiased coverage throughout the event.

That's just to refresh my...er, all your memories :) So, the second match-up seems to have done their job, while the third and fourth still need one more capture from each side...the first...well... ;)

I'm Hell on Heels :) There's a "team" name for you, Riza :) Peter'll learn his lesson when he sees this (never be kidnapped by Roman{o}s), you leave ME in charge of name-picking, you come back to THAT! Bam! :) Thanks, DW :)

Jun-7-2013 08:04

You're welcome. I'd have loved that name, but I share a team with a gentleman that has too big feet for heeled shoes. It would be hilarious, though, to see him try some on.

*plots to take Sal shopping in Cairo*

For anyone wondering, Cordelia Falco and I settled on a team name! You can call us... Smoke and Mirrors!

Also, fear not for I shall capture my dastardly villain today, mark my words!
