The Arch Villain Hunt

Choose two detectives from your team. Those two players will do an Arch-Villain hunt, with the usual rules applying for a tournament. Both detectives have until Wednesday, August 10, to capture their villains. Hunters may travel up to Shangri-La the previous night (Wednesday, August 3), but ANYONE who starts a hunt before Thursday, 12:00, SST, will be disqualified (so make VERY sure you don't do it). Scores will be determined on a team basis, and by days, not time (people overseas won't have to be up at odd hours of the night to deal with Server times this way). Anyone traveling through Cairo MUST either post it on the boards, or send a PM to Riza or Breit announcing that they are (we WILL be verifying that). Sidekick cases are banned, as usual. Apartment and Agency gear is legal. If, for some reason, there are technical issues with the servers, all hunters will be given extra time to complete their hunts.

An individual hunter's number of days will be counted up, added to his/her teammate's number of days, and the lowest combined sum will be the winner. The first TEAM to capture their villains will receive 10 points. Second team to capture will receive 7. Third will receive 5, and fourth will receive 3. All teams receive 3 participation points each for each AV hunter on their team (I.E. - 6 points total).

If, for some reason, you guess wrong, and fail a hunt, DO NOT QUIT. Go back to Shangri-La and start over. BOTH members of the team must capture in order to receive placement points. So keep going (even if you takes you four times, voice of experience talkin' here ;-).


The Cairo Scavenger Hunt

For the other two detectives from your team, you will be going to Cairo (big surprise there ;-). You need to complete ten favors from EACH of the townspeople in Cairo, in no particular order. Once you have completed a favor from a townsperson, you MUST make a screenshot at the end (completion) of the favor, like this:

I think it is an evening out tactic Badass. For team treasure hunts we will be at a disadvantage. There are no hunts that start or go through our fair city. So teams in the 4 normal cities will have an advantage then.

Next question..so should we start a post in our agency to post our screen shots? Then send the full thing when we complete the hunt?

That's a valid point, Sultry. But of course when you move HQ's you'll eliminate your disadvantage for the TH's. At some financial cost of course.

Breathing can give me a headache, BadAss. So be nice. My head's fragile enough, thank you. ;-)

Like I said in the beginning, teams are welcome to HQ in any city they please. And they're also free to move at any time. BUT they have to pay for it. These hunts are designed to be similar to what you all go through on a daily basis; only some of the locations and some of the goals are changing. So everyone really does have the same advantages and disadvantages, same as normal. So yes, BadAss, Sultry's team can move their HQ from Cairo. But you guys CAN move yours from London. So knock it off. ICE CREAM, PEOPLE. ;-)

And yes, Sultry, a post in your Agency to hold screen shots would be a good idea. Sending all of them at once will help you keep track to make sure you've got all 10, and haven't missed somebody.

*brings out the peanut butter syrup, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, whipped cream, nuts, fresh fruit, and cherries*

*looks up to find everyone starting at her*

What? You all couldn't bring anything?

Thank you, Autumn. That was very generous of you. ;-D

NOW. Who wants to get docked 10 points, or who wants ice cream?? :-.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

*puts pom pom's down and grabs a bowl of butter pecan and proceeds to slather all of Autumns goodies on top*

Is anyone else finding Autumn and Sultry's clone-like 'Have I shaved this morning?' pose creepy.

Aug-2-2016 23:03

we wondered how long it would take someone to notice! ;)

It was totally unintentional but it works.

I thought it was more like a "my root canal still hurts" pose. Or even a "using frying pans as boomerangs is not a good idea" pose.

Sorry couple of dumb questions/points time.....it's early, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I read it that each person has to get 10 favours per townie and nearly fainted. Then I read it as 1 favour per townie. So just to completely clarify. Two people have to between them get one favour per townie?

Also do you mean actual screenshots or just copy/paste the info at the end of the case. And if so does that mean we're working on the honour system that no one will cheat and make it up :)

Just to be clear I'm in no way complaining; just wanting to make sure I've got everything right :D
