Greetings, citizens of Sleuthville! The time has come once more for the annual Sleuthville Arch-Villain Hunt Tournament. This year’s tourney is being held a month earlier than usual so that we’ll have enough time in the Fall for other fun planned activities. The format, just like last year, will be one-on-one matchups. I welcome and encourage all old and new players to participate. Drag yourselves out of those doldrums and come enjoy yourselves with a little friendly competition.

The format will be 16 detectives, each randomly paired off by a magic baseball hat to face one other person. For this competition, players going through Cairo will have a day taken off their totals. The fastest player(s) from each round will go on to the next round until a winner is determined. In the case of a tie (same day capture), both players will move on to compete in a triple threat matchup. Failed hunts will not count against you; you will not be disqualified. If you fail your hunt and would like to start another, you may, but the day count will start from the official start date of the round. The last one standing wins.

The rules:
- 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, 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, 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 may:
-travel to Shangri La the night before, but NOT start the hunt
-use a travel kit
-use head of faction privileges
-use agencies and apartments to swap gear

Riza, how many more we need?

Apr-29-2015 01:14

I know I'm still not Riza, but again assuming that no one has signed up via private message it looks like we need three more.

Sorry, but I'd like to make a correction. :)

I was in The Mystique when I posted this, I will be in Vox de Cinere just for two days more, and then back to The Mystique.

So during the VH, too, that's the agency I'll be in. :)

Hey Riza....How come you're not on the list?

Apr-29-2015 08:36

Verali will be resubbed in time for the competition. :) She usually plays her cases when I do, and since I've been focussing on the development side of things neither of us have been playing through our cases and didn't notice her subscription had dropped.

Just caught my first villain, so I'd love to give this a go!

Been away, back now and ready to go :)

Someone better rustle up two-three players. Quickly someone, time of the essence!
