In just under six weeks, the 31st Summer Olympics and the 15th Paralympics will occur in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Athletes from over 190 countries around the world will gather to compete in some 35 different overall sports over a period of about 3 weeks.

Many people have commented recently that they would like to see some more activities taking place here on Sleuth. A few of us creatively evil types were wondering if we put together a series of activities for people, would y'all be interested??

We are looking for at least 8-12 people, of all experience levels; both hunters (treasure, casework, and Arch Villain) and writers will be needed. People will be competing in a team format. We're probably looking at Subbed players for now, but we're working on having at least two activities (not necessarily part of the teams, but supplemental to them) that will be exclusive to UNSUBBED players. All of these activities will have an Olympics theme.

So. Any takers?? ;-)

Please let us know below.

Thank you!!
Breit

True Vulkie, blending is important. What always gave me a blast with AC is those poison darts that turn a target into a madman that does the dirty work for you.

Why doesn't this game have poison darts?????

Because half the population would end up dead by said poison darts? We'll just save those for the RP Stories :)

Well, they don't have to die per se. Just do some random crazy acts after which they can feel totally embarrassed.

Wait!!!
I'm positive the game has poison darts.
I've been shot more than once with those dang things. Let me tell you, they hurt.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Of course, throwing frying pans is pretty random and crazy!

DUCK!

and it appears I have no control.

Thank goodness, I have never been compelled to be a Sultry, nightclub singer. ;)

Thank goodness it's just frying pans. Could have been microwave ovens or worse.

Olympics Week 1 Writing Competition: Haikus

Each competing agency will be responsible for submitting 3 different haikus on the Olympics thread. They MUST all be Olympic-themed and set pre-1940. Please focus your attention on the Olympics aspect. You do not need to mention the time period; we just don't want to hear about things which weren't invented yet or things which hadn't happened yet. This is fairly open-ended so as to allow for creativity.

However, you must adhere to the traditional haiku format of 17 syllables in 3 lines, split as such:

Five syllables first
Seven syllables second
Five syllables last

(^ also an example of a haiku, albeit a bad one)

Things to think about when writing: Where/when is this taking place? What images or sensory experiences can be evoked? How can the sound or rhythm of the haiku be used to support these images? What mood are you trying to achieve?

Please designate one person from each agency to post the haikus. Submissions are due by August 10 at 0:00 server time, so you have from now through next Tuesday to work on them. Entries will be judged by a panel of three, myself included.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

Pre 1940? Rats, WW II themed haikus are my specialty.
