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

Villain Captured!
I contacted the Prince's men and together we set out to capture Wily Victor Aryaman. Through my careful investigation, I was fairly certain The Fortune Teller was his co-conspirator, and had provided the villain with a local hideout, but now that it came down to it, I had my doubts.

It was too late to change course though, the time had come to spring our trap...


We charged into the building expecting some sort of resistance, but we found none. Instead, we found the Notorious Wily Victor Aryaman, sleeping in a chair. I'd always imagined it would end differently than that, but I was just glad it had ended.

I helped the Prince's men in handing the villain off to the local authorities, and then I packed it in for the night. There was plenty of time to head to Shangri La the next day, to collect that reward.

You can't win. If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

Congrats, ctown! Nice going.

It is possible that the only thing more annoying than getting 'west of the tailor's' in London five times out of ten clues is getting 'west of the tailor's' in London five times out of ten clues when you also get 'west of the detective shop' three times and therefore 'west of the tailor's' is completely redundant information.

Cordelia, I feel your pain. If I had gotten "is a fan of Agatha Christie" ONE MORE TIME, I was gonna scream. Loudly. Possibly with curse words. I had some good ones too. Some were even in another language.

But I finally beat the much needed final clue out of my suspect and managed to leave the desert behind me. It's good to be back home, albeit briefly (I hope ;D).
