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

Where do we stand here? Unless I'm missing something Bela and Kackenka have a draw and will face off to advance.

Mama, glasse and myself move on. Do I have to wait to beat glasse in the semis or can I beat her this week?

Next round will start on Monday, and Bela and Kackenka will be put into a triple threat match-up against one of the other three players. I imagine The Announcer is waiting until everyone has caught their villains to post the next match ups - why not after all if the next round will start Monday regardless.

If I understand it correctly we should be in triple threat match up.

May-30-2015 00:37

I overthought it, thinking the advancement from last round would carry over. Oh Announcer, you learn well, my young Padawan.

Yes, there'll be two triple-threat match-up things; no one shall be spared come Monday :D

Be mindful of your thoughts. They will betray you!

Going thru Cairo again.

On my way through Cairo...

"No reward is worth this"

Well I had a good start. Through 2 cities and ready to travel to my third tomorrow. Man I wish I knew where my Compact Travel Kit went. Or that I could earn another. Though it still wouldn't have helped me travel to my next city.

Good Luck competitors. I'm (not at all) wishing you sand storms in Cairo. I swear. Only good thoughts. ;)
