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:

Now for the second point from the Judges. I know that you all only had a week to put together your groups and put up your work, and I do realize that some of you are NOT big on writing. But, you all had the same time frame, and you all were expected to work together as a team. If you're not an experienced writer, GET HELP from one of your teammates. EVERYONE is expected to contribute to the team, both in hunting AND in writing. The experts are there as a resource, not as slaves. They will NOT be doing all of the work for the entire team.

So. If you have a team member who hasn't contributed his/her fair share, start contacting them now. All teams are expected to be communicating with each of their group members on a DAILY basis. (And yes, I do have a fair idea about who the non-contributors have been up til now.) You're on warning. Get yer act together. Please.

Okay, places at the line, everyone. Hope the AV hunters are in Shangri-La. Cairo hunters, good luck!!

On your Marks!!

Get Set!!

GGGGOOOO!!!!!! ;-D ;-D ;-D

Angry women must
Keep their cool before they want
To throw frying pans

A frying pan she does toss
