There will be 4 activities this week. All events start on Thursday, August 25, at 12:00 AM, SST. Good luck. ;-)

1. Sleuthetania Scavenger Hunt - All team members will board the Sleuthetania and hunt for a list of items that will be provided to them on the Sleuth Talk boards Thursday morning. As with the other hunts, once a team member has found the first item on the list, stored the item to the Agency locker, and sent a screenshot or copy/paste of the reward page to Riza, team members may proceed to look for the next item on the list. The team with the most items found gets 10 points. Team with the second highest amount found gets 7. Third gets 5. Fourth gets 3. PLEASE REMEMBER: Once you are on the boat, you CANNOT access your Agency, so clean out your locker before you board the ship. Riza will be expecting a screenshot of each team's locker before Thursday.

All teams may do a MAXIMUM of *TWO* trips on the Sleuthetania. You have until Wednesday, August 31, 11:59 PM, SST, to complete this activity.


2. Journal Pages Hunt - While on the boat, all members will do a hunt for Journal Pages. We have recorded each person's current collected Journal Pages. On Thursday, September 1, around 12:00 AM, SST, we will again compile a list of everyone's collected Journal Pages. All participating players get 3 points (this means you have to collect at least ONE Journal Page to get the participation points). The player with the most Journal Pages collected gets 10 points. Player with the second most Pages collected gets 7 points. Player with the third most Pages collected gets 5 points. Player with the fourth most collected Pages gets 3 points. And yes, there can be more than one point winner on the same team.


3. Introduction Creation Contest - Each team will create and submit TWO intros. One MUST be set on the Sleuthetania, and have a nautical theme. The second MUST have an Olympic theme of some kind. Spelling and grammar will be taken into account.

The Sleuthetania can offer a nice diversity as a solo operation. But as a group effort it is a nightmare. If I were a jury member this would be my moment of laughs & giggles.

And don't forget folks, there is a charming little bug on the Sleuthetania that makes your contacts sometimes forget that they are your contacts. Just adds to the fun :)

Breit my comments were in regards to what Autumn had said not yourself and she clarified what she had meant :)

It seems Rick's at an advantage over all the other teams since they're the only ones where all four members have the Sleuthania contacts. The others will have to first get their contacts and then get the pages... That seems a bit unfair.

Devi, we were told a month ago that there would be a hunt on the boat a month or so ago. I don't think now is really the time to be complaining about your lack of contacts. Why should we be penalized because you don't have your contacts?

It's certainly not our fault your team doesn't all have contacts. And it's certainly not our fault we were teamed up either.

I notice that you have both contacts in Cairo. Rick's has a member who didn't have any contacts in Cairo. We didn't complain about other teams having all contacts or say it was a disadvantage. We just went on with the hunt.

Just use this time to get whatever contacts you don't have. (I know you have both boat contacts. This statement is to those who do not.)

Actually, that team member couldn't even get into Cairo before the games. So what did she do? She worked her butt off to get access. I don't really see the big deal. And I've been on both sides of the situation.

Look at me. I don't have negotiation but I didn't complain during the treasure hunt. I tried to work my butt off too to get this skill. But I kinda had to interrupt my nemesis hunt.

Anyhow, trap detection will become of use now for the journal pages. But there's still the element of simple dumb luck also. Or bad karma :)

Actually it was only a week between when the week-by-week was announced and when the Olympics started. And just because we said something doesn't mean you should have shut up about the issues your team has.
