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.

Reference [1]
The Zombie, (also known as skull-puncher), is a cocktail made of fruit juices, liqueurs, and various rums. It first appeared in late 1934, invented by Donn Beach (formerly Ernest Raymond Beaumont-Gannt) of Hollywood's Don the Beachcomber restaurant.[1] It was popularized soon afterwards at the 1939 New York World's Fair.

https://youtu.be/_xR0h6FGCBY?t=20s - my response after seeing that cocktail recipe. Also includes the "oh, that's why" as my response

Yes Murray, please help yourself. I'm afraid I'd be dancing naked on the tables if I drank 10 gallons, or dead.

Which is worse, Sultry? ;)

Anyway, for the next Olympics there should be a competition dedicated to the best recipe for cocktails. The judges must try it out at home and post their experiences while giving points for the best recipe. After they sobered up and had their coffee of course.

Depends on your perspective, I suppose.

Aug-25-2016 14:07

That perspective can always change after a certain amount of cocktails.

Ergh guess who just found out they never bothered to get THEIR contacts on the Sleuthetania ... thanks to the Ship's Engineer, whose name I'm sure I'll remember, eventually, for dropping his immediately. I was hoping for Edwina, being a drinking buddy of my good friend Lady Grangewood, but sadly no. Several gin fizzes later, and three sheets to the breeze, the only favour I was offered was one I wasn't willing to take up.

Can someone please direct me to where the Sleuthtania scavenger hunt items are. Thank you!

Well Said Murray, totally agree.

Sultry that looks potent...gimme :)
