There will be 4 activities this week. All events start on Thursday, August 18, at 12:00 AM, SST. Three of the four events are continued from last week. Good luck. ;-)

1. Treasure Hunts - Week 2
This event lasts two weeks. You were given the instructions for this last week, so if you need to review them, please read the Second Week's Activities' thread. The scoring system HAS BEEN REVAMPED. All hunts are now worth 10 points, not 100. Teams receive 3 participation points for the FIRST six hunts they open and do one favor for in the correct categories. Once you have completed six hunts in the same categories as before, YOU ARE DONE. This activity ends on Wednesday, August 24th.

2. Scavenger Hunt - Week 2
This is the SECOND part of this event. You have one week to complete this activity. Please send a screenshot of your locker to Riza Hawkeye for verification purposes by Thursday, August 18, 12:00 AM, SST. All items on List #1 are INVALID after Wednesday, August 17, 11:59 PM, SST. You will be given a second list on the Sleuth Talk board. All items MUST BE COLLECTED IN ORDER, and screenshots must be sent to Riza as you collect each item. You have until Wednesday, August 24, 11:59 PM, SST, to complete this list.

3. Role Playing Essay Contest - Week 2
This event lasts two weeks. You were given the instructions for this last week, so if you need to review them, please read the Second Week's Activities' thread. Essays are due Wednesday, August 24, 11:59 PM, SST.

4. Twist/Closer Contest
This is a *TEAM* writing contest. One writer for your team is already assuming most of the responsibility for the Role Playing Essay, so DO NOT BUG THEM about this. The other 3 members of the team will submit ONE entry. Together, you will submit the idea and writing for ONE complete twist (and accompanying closer). Ideas and writing must be as fully detailed as possible. You must include descriptions of the twist's effects if necessary (gain faction standing, trigger Larry the Toe, etc).

Just to be clear I wasn't criticising anyone, was just confused :)

Anyone know where the lifejackets are stored?
Also how do you lower the lifeboats?


I think I saw a peg leg floating in the ocean, need to go get it. If I don't return , no need to send out the search parties, I'm sure I'll float up to the surface sometime.

I will quit all my favors and all the competition to dive and save you Sultry! I will keep my Pequod Watch though, as it is a rarity!

Trivia: there are 3 pocket watches in Sleuth, only one of them can be found on the Sleuthetania: "Pequod's Fob Watch".

All teams, please check below to verify that our records are correct. There may be a few hunts you participated in which are not listed below (most are listed), but they were duplicate categories. So don't worry about those; you are not losing out on any points. If there is a mistake, please let me know and I will fix it immediately. If not, then consider this the official list.
