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:

And let's not forget to credit the judges for the effort they made to visit us all and write this extensive evaluation.

Congratulations everyone! And thank you judges.
The competition is fierce, we at Rick's will definetly have to work harder if want to keep winning.



One more question on the scavenger hunt, since we need to include the item we received from our favor in the capture. Does that mean we need to store the item in our lockers, or can they be sold?
I'm assuming put in the locker

That's why we had to hire an agency clerk. So the judges can keep track of all the transactions. I could be wrong of course (and I'm sure the organizing committee would be glad to point this out) but I think they have enough tools so keeping those items stored isn't really necessary.

And now for the committee to say otherwise ....

Aug-3-2016 07:35

That's a surprise!! But I'll take it!!!

Thank you to the judges for your hard work. I can't imagine being in your role.

I got extremely lucky with my team members. They are really wonderful people and fun to work with.

Congratulations to the other teams and thank you to the Feminine Assassins for pushing us to do our best.

Sorry Badass, I wasn't very clear with my question. I meant sell it before we stored it in the locker. You know right below the item your given the choice to store it, sell it or sell one of your items. If we don't store it first then the clerck can't record it.

Aug-3-2016 07:58

I see. In that case it would make sense to store it first and sell later.

Aug-3-2016 08:06

BTW, could you change your name to Harass. My android swears that is what it is meant to be.
I'm really getting tired of having to change it back to Badass .

For the favor hunting, please send me an actual screenshot (or alternatively a picture using your phone) of the final reward page where it says the name of the townie and what the prize is. You don't actually need to keep the prize in your locker.

For example: http://bit.ly/2aICsfq

You can send me the screenshots via a link in a PM or via Facebook as you acquire them.

If you do not know how to take either a screenshot or a phone picture, please ask one of your agency members first. If nobody knows, then please message me and I will help you.

A tip for the favor hunt: There is no down time; only prep time. :)

I think your Android is trying to give you a command instead of a name. Don't give in!

Who will be the judge(s) for the Haiku contest? Just out of curiosity :)
