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!!

To all of you talking about "next year," may I just say that the Olympics are only held every *four* years! Well, every two years if you consider the summer Olympics and winter Olympics.

Perhaps we could have a summer and winter Olympics? With one concentrating more on the role playing/writing aspect and the other concentrating more on the treasure hunts, arch villain hunts and scavenger hunt type activities.

While it's probably safe to assume that everyone who plays Sleuth likes to play Sleuth, I don't think that everyone who plays Sleuth enjoys role playing and writing. So maybe the two could be separate events with both activities included in each Olympic season, but with more of an emphasis on one particular type.

Just thinking out loud...

It amuses me to see that most participants are still in their Olympic agency :) Yes, myself included.

I really like Sindys idea. Plus, the change emphasis would allow players to better know what they're getting into and choose whether to play or not.

Sindy, I looove this idea, it's a great way to include everything Sleuth related without it becoming overwhelming :)

Are we still getting the custom titles?

Sep-7-2016 11:44

Yes. It's taken me a little longer to sort them out than usual as instead of just putting them into the game I made a tool for SS to create and assign titles himself. No more developer delays for titles in the future! That update is complete now, so it's just a case of Ben finding time to deploy it. :)

So about the time of the Sleuth Winter Olympics? ;)

...I remain quietly optimistic it'll be deployed before then

Thanks Yeti. One FemAss title for Ms Helen coming up. :p

Can we pick our own titles?
