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:

Like Riza said people, deal with this week's activities first. If you get the time to go browse a couple stories on The Stage, wonderful. But they'll be there next week, so they can wait.

Several people have sent me PMs about one of the Olympians who opened (but did NOT start) an AV hunt. Just so everyone is aware, yes, the Judges noticed, and yes, the Judges tracked EVERYONE in Shangri-la last night. And yes, we're going to allow her to continue to hunt.

I'm posting a PM I received from her here:

Hi!
OK please be patient with me because I haven't ever done an AVH tourney. My understanding was that we travelled to ShagriLa and didn't leave to start until today. Was I supposed to open the hunt today? O man I just realized that this adds an extra day!
Please be patient with me! I'm still in ShangriLa and havent started as per my understanding of th rules! So VERY sorry! I can stay here in ShangriLa until you verify that I'm still here?
I'm so sorry!

(End)

Because she remained in Shangri-La, and did NOT travel to another city, we were able to track her, and determine that she didn't do any casework prematurely. We want you guys to take the rules seriously. But we also want to treat ALL the teams fairly. So while yes, she did jump the gun, so to speak, we are allowing her to continue. Anyone who wants to have a chat about this decision is free to send me a PM.

So. Continued good luck, everyone, and go get 'em!! ;-D

Hey Vulkie, would you mind if I set up my vending stall next to your ice cream booth? I need to get rid of all these rugs and shoes I've been acquiring. I'll trade you this nice rug for a double chocolate ice cream cone.

Well, I could always use a rug - this damn sand tends to get into my shoes, so you gotta wipe your feet on something...

''what am I to do with all these 12 cases in Cairo?'' asked the sleepy detective... ''5 cases are enough for me to grab my guy''
''cases? where are my liquor cases? give me my cases you drunkard!'' said the only townie that was left out when the count was done for the important people in town
''camels vendor and liquor professional drinker'' said he, '' and they left me outside the main board of the city''.
''give me your remaining cases Mort! Now! Better go and start another hunt quick and tell your friend Devi the same, so you guys show the show lovers in the competition what proficiency means''...
And this is what Mortimer shall do

Hmmm

They say there is no connection between the townies/favors and factions and yet everyone has a bad case of repeatitis when it comes to favors in Cairo - where you don't get faction twists to change your standings with the factions.
