There will be 3 activities this week. All events will start on Thursday, August 11, 12:00 AM, SST. Last week was a sprint. This week (and next) is a marathon. Good luck. ;-)

1. Treasure Hunts - Week 1
This event will last TWO weeks. You need to complete a total of six hunts, 3 Single-City, and 3 Multi-City. Any hunt opened before Thursday, August 11, 12:00 AM, SST, will be discarded. Hunts can start in any city, and be from any faction. All teams get 30 points for each hunt they participate in. Teams who win a hunt get 100 points. Once teams have completed all hunts, they are ineligible from further competition in this activity.

Hunts will be divided under the following categories:

Prizes you can Wear.
Prizes you can Hold.
Prizes you can Use.

For example, The Sacred Atlas of Al Capone is a Multi-City hunt currently being run out of Delhi. An atlas is NOT something you can wear. It is, however, something you can hold, or use, so it would qualify for the second or third categories, but not the first. Another example, The Golden Ring of Al Capone, is a Single-City hunt currently being run out of Shanghai. A ring is something you can wear and hold, but not use. So it would qualify for the first and second categories, but not the third. Teams may determine which categories their prizes fall under, but only one category may be used for one prize. You must use 3 Single-City hunts in each category, and 3 Multi-City hunts. If you have a question about what category a prize falls into, please PM the Judges (Breitkat, Riza, or Squirrel).

2. Scavenger Hunt - Week 1
This is part one of two. Teams have ONE week to complete this activity. All teams must empty their Lockers of all IH favor reward items, unless they are a part of a member's uniform. Please send a screenshot to Riza Hawkeye when you have done so for verification. Please also remember that we have an honour system in place for this competition, and we are trusting you NOT to hoard things in your Apartments.

Yep, thank you, Devi. ;-) That's a standard rule of judging for all writing contests around here. ;-)

You do; good luck to you all! :D If you could get the items for the scavenger hunt in any order, it would be too easy, but this is almost too hard! Looking at the list, I think I might have to play the favour I've had open for six weeks and a few more after that.

I have a question, and I'm probably just missing something obvious, but if we're taking screenshots of the scavenger hunt items and can then keep them or discard them as we choose, why did we have to empty out our equipment locker?

You had to empty your locker in order to show that you're not cheating by having some items already. At least, that's what I assume the intention was for that :)

Think of it like paying off your FA's and getting a clean slate - similar to that :)

You would know about that, Vulkie.

My understanding is you don't take a screen shot of the item, you take a screenshot of the page at the end of the favor where you are given the favor item that shows who gave it to you and you have the option of either stowing it or selling it.

I mean I could have taken a screen shot of everything my equipment locker before I sold it if that's all they want.

I mean of each individual item, not the list in the equipment locker.

" All teams get 30 points for each hunt they participate in."

I need a precise definition of "participate."

Does participate just mean to "open" a hunt or do you actually have to make progress in the hunt? If I open every hunt open now do I get 30 points for each hunt regardless of whether my team actually works that hunt?
