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.

Like I said good question. Since so many of the items can be in multiple categories it would be foolish not to try and enter as many hunts as you feel your team can handle, to cover as many bases as possible to achieve the desired end results. So if you are entered in them and working on them you should get points for it.

"But the rules clearly state that you're not eligible AFTER completing ALL 6 categories."

I agree and you would actually be penalized for completing hunts in a way if you couldn't compete in certain hunts any longer. But on the other hand I don't want to waste resources competing in hunts only to find out later that we don't get points for them.


Thanks for your feedback. :)

The way I understand it is that you need to pick 6 hunts that fit the requirements. Two for each category, a single and a multi city. If you get the entry points, aka you do at least one favor for it, you've checked that typebof hunt off your list, regardless if you win or not.

I don't see why you couldn't do any extra hunts afterward, they just wouldn't matter for the competition.

Breit, some input?

I'll have a reply up later on this morning, server time. I've been away all day (family reunion), and am too exhausted to be able to see straight, let alone make a determination right now. For now, keep going in your hunts. All the trophies are eligible for at LEAST two (and some fit all 3) categories. So no one is in danger of solving a hunt that they've already covered.

Quick question concerning the Treasure Hunts and the 30 points earned for participating in one. If we open up 3 hunts but we spread out our agency members among only two am I correct in thinking that we will not get 30 points for the hunt we don't participate in?

If a TH is won, does the agency get both the 100 points for winning and 30 points for participation?

And yes, ^ concur with Ms Helen about that *** barber! Win or lose, I will throw a party for when we are done dealing with the Shanghai barber!!

Just wanted to let people know, yes, I will get back to you about all this. We're still discussing a couple of things. Thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, please keep going as you are. ;-)

Since nobody has asked any questions about the writing contest for the week, I'm presuming things are going swimmingly for all the teams!! Yay!! ;-D ;-D ;-D

We'll have an answer about all your questions in a few hours. Thank you. ;-)
