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.

Sorry to hear about your health problems again, dear. Hope you're feeling well and your spot is all safe in the team. *hugs*

My deletion. Nothing to see here folks move along. Mind the yellow tape... Yes, yes that chalk outline does look suspiciously Breit-shaped but that's just a trick of the light. Move along, move along.

Why would you do that? Censorship? Really? I get it when you delete a double post, or something offensive, or whatever, but her post?

Aug-12-2016 13:56

I read your post, Autumn, and while we're all concerned about your health and well being I also understand your grievances.

What has happened tonight isn't something that should be happening on any boards. Censoring messages without any real base is not something that should be done anywhere in the world, much less on the internet. Had Autumn's message been full of insults, cuss words and so on, I'd have understood the need to take it down.

Sure, the post was inflamatory, it brought accusations, it pointed fingers and it helped her speak her mind. But did it warrant being taken down? NO. Nothing did. Nothing could possibly do. I'm a journalist. I have never stood and will never stand hands in my pockets, doing nothing, when I see something like this.

I know the board probably doesn't have a back button to retrieve the message, but it should, because that message needs to be up, regardless of who dislikes it or who it targets. Sorry, Breit.

I don't know who's to blame here and why deleting a comment seemed like the most normal thing to do, but this was wrong.

Breit, I love you and you are a dear friend. BUT.

You are totally overstepping you bounds here. You've asked me to scale back. I have. You've asked me to start listening to my body and rest when I need to. I have. You told me not to be on my computer from 730 pm eastern time last night (Thursday) until 8 am eastern this morning (Friday) OR YOU WOULD PENALIZE MY TEAM 10 POINTS EVERY TIME YOU SAW ME ON.

Disregarding the fact that you do not have the right or authority to do that, and the fact that my team shouldn't be penalized because I'm on my computer when you don't want me to be, I did what you asked.

But replacing me on my team BEHIND MY BACK? When I have done what you wanted me to? No. that is NOT okay. It's not fair to my team or to myself.

I was in a great mood this morning when I woke up. That lasted until I saw your fb message to me.

Right now, I am shaking and it is not from the MS. It's from anger. You have overstepped your bounds as a friend and as the organizer of these games. If you don't want me to play in these games, I will resign. Hell, I might even leave sleuth completely although I'd rather not.

I know you think this is trying to help me. But it is absolutely not. Just because I was diagnosed with MS and had to have emergency extractions of two teeth surprisingly does not magically turn me into a child. And even if it did, I've got a mother. I don't need you to tell me what to do or not do and when to do or not do it.

My team, myself, and Della, ALL deserve an apology for the way you've treated us.

You are not in charge of my life or my health so don't act like you are.


****** I would like to note that Breit and I have spoken and are currently resolving our issues. It was a combination of lack of communication, miscommunication, and misunderstanding. Please do not lash out at Breit over this. She did what she did out of concern and love for me. Thank you.

Now, back to the games!!!
